In 2025, being a Democrat means never having to say you’re sorry.
“I’ve been cynical when it comes to the government,” said Kari Lake about the indefensible expenditures that Elon Musk has uncovered at USAID, “but it’s so much worse than even I thought.”
Indeed. The preposterous outlays that politicians and podcasters have been shaking their heads over – for example, $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala, $20 million for Sesame Street in Iraq, $8 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary-gendered language, $1.5 million for trans advocacy in Jamaica, $1.5 million for the Cuban media, $3.9 million for trans causes in Macedonia, $1 million “to help disabled people in Tajikistan become climate leaders” – are bad enough.
But even worse are the revelations that USAID spent money to defeat populists around the world – Bolsonaro in Brazil, Le Pen in France – and paid $20 million for dirt on Rudy Giuliani that could be used to impeach Donald Trump. Huge sums were spent to fund “fact-checking” – and we know what that means. Half a billion dollars went to the Internews Network, which “trained” thousands of journalists around the globe and promoted censorship of social media. “Nearly the entire mainstream media – worldwide – has been funded by the US government under the USAID,” tweeted Ron Paul. T
Most unbelievable of all, USAID actually sent cash to terrorist groups and terrorist states, as outlined by Daniel Greenfield last Friday – for example, $2.3 billion to Somalia over the last two years, $2.1 billion to Gaza and the West Bank since October 7, 2023, $3.7 billion to the Taliban since it took over Afghanistan, $1.1 billion to Hezbollah-run Lebanon. Even projects that sound like the kind of thing USAID should have been doing turn out to have been incompetently executed: medical shipments that never reached their destinations, a power plant that was never completed. We’re learning that USAID was a tool of the CIA and other intelligence agencies, engaging on their behalf in covert activities that had nothing at all to do with foreign aid. Then there’s the plain and simple fraud, the kickbacks, the graft, the grift: all kinds of numbers and names are being thrown around – Bill Kristol, the Clintons (inevitably) – although the full story and exact figures have yet to be established.
And the only thing that’s even more mind-blowing than the scale of these outlays is the scale of the phony self-righteous blowback from many of those who participated in, covered up, and/or profited from it – or who are, quite simply, ideologically aligned with the far-left radicals at USAID and knew all along that it was a crooked operation. Instead of slinking off in shame and looking for the nearest cave to hide in, these vermin doubled down on their dishonesty and shifted into ultra-high dudgeon mode.
On Capitol Hill, the usual suspects served up the predictable falsehoods. Bernie Sanders tweeted: “Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, is dismantling USAID, which feeds the poorest children on earth.” This cheesy line was echoed across social media. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) tweeted that Musk’s “decimation of USAID” was an example of “the billionaire corruption of our government”: Musk, insisted Murphy, seeks to “keep China happy, and nothing makes China happier than USAID, a major thorn in the side to Beijing, being erased from the world.” (Corruption! China! Classic Alinsky tactics: accuse your enemy of doing what you’re doing.)
Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) expanded on Murphy’s fear-mongering: if USAID goes down, “terrorists will win. Russia will win. China will win.” He didn’t mention that USAID, far from protecting America from terrorists, was actually giving them money. The phony hand-wringing about poor children was through the roof. Adam Schiff sent out a ludicrous tweet about how help from USAID after an earthquake inspired kids in Pakistan to play with model U.S. helicopters. “We came to their aid in their darkest hour….Trump doesn’t want us doing that anymore.”
One Democrat after another, emphasizing that nobody had voted for Elon Musk, waxed eloquent about the sacred Constitution (which they’ve rarely if ever enthused over) and the Founding Fathers (men whose statues were being razed a couple of years back by radical nutcases whom these same creeps were cheering on). Rashida Tlaib tweeted that Musk was “dismantling our democracy….This is a constitutional crisis.” Morgan McGarvey (D-KY) reminded the public that the Constitution created three branches of government. Yes, we know – and the Department of Education and agencies like USAID are all part of the second branch, of which Trump, under the Constitution, is the embodiment.
Noting Trump’s determination to bring down the DoE and USAID, McGarvey asked: “What’s next, Social Security?” He knows better. Just the other day Trump made it clear that he not only doesn’t want to eliminate Social Security – he wants to eliminate the tax that recipients pay on their Social Security income. Elizabeth “Pocohontas” Warren tweeted: “I often talk about righteous fights. Make no mistake: we are in one.” Richard Blumenthal accused Musk of “doing a power grab and information heist, the biggest in American history, and probably the most detrimentally financially to Americans taxpayers.” To believe this, you’d have to know nothing about what Musk has already uncovered. And you’d have to trust Blumenthal, Mr. Stolen Valor himself, more than you trust Elon Musk. --->READ MORE HERE
