Every time the media makes an argument for USAID, the argument ends up turning against USAID.
USAID advocates argued that we must keep plowing money into foreign aid because the agency used to buy only 41% of its food from U.S. farmers and what will they possibly do with the wheat unless we ship it to Somalia?
The current fallback position is that USAID has $489 million worth of food sitting in warehouses and it’ll spoil unless we ship it to Somalia.
Almost $500 million in food aid is at risk of spoilage as it sits in ports, ships and warehouses after funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, was paused by the Trump administration, according to a Feb. 10 report from a government watchdog.
While the future of USAID’s funding and its purchases from U.S. farmers remains unclear, there is currently $489 million worth of food sitting “at ports, in transit, and in warehouses at risk of spoilage, unanticipated storage needs, and diversion,” the Feb. 10 USAID inspector general report said.
An additional 500,000 additional metric tons of food is currently on ships or ready to be shipped abroad, the report added. USAID typically buys commodities such as wheat, soybeans, sorghum and split peas from U.S. farmers.
“When the food doesn’t get to where it needs to go, it winds up in a landfill, and that has devastating effects,” Ashley Stanley, the CEO of Spoonfuls, which redirects excess food from grocers and other companies to aid organizations in Massachusetts, told CBS Boston.
What if the food goes to Americans instead of Somalis, Gazans and other Islamic terrorists?
I imagine putting commodities back on the market will help lower food prices in America. But USAID and its allies would rather put the food in a landfill than give it to Americans.
Why don’t we throw out the USAID grifters and keep the food?
I just watched the new Netflix documentary on Blackhawk Down. Interviews with the actual soldiers who fought there.
This was a B.S. Clinton cluster f**k from start to finish. What the hell were we doing there? Who cares if Adid was starving the Somali people. 18 Americans died. You think Clinton actually gave a crap? He simply made some boilerplate statement expressing his “regret”. The Somali war continues to this day.
Mogadishu gave Bin Laden all the excuse he needed to attack America. The result was 9-11. Then came 20 years in Afghanistan along with the Iraqi sweetener ending with the Biden Bug Out and the loss of $80 Billion in equipment.
Democrats. Whatya gonna do, they are the scum of the earth. Yeah, there were RINO Republicans involved as well.
The guys who fought in Somalia are still mad.
So eff USAID. Eff any foreign aid. Eff the Democrat grifters….the Clintons and Obama and Biden
Bin Laden made very clear his primary motives for 9/11: Iraqi sanctions which caused the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis; US military on sacred lands of Islam (in actuality, the birthplace of Wahabbism); US support for Israel. Somalia was not mentioned
Nor would it. All of Bin Laden’s grievances involve Arabs in historic Arab homelands. Somalis, to Bin Laden, are a remote offshoot. And the presence of a Jewish that oppresses Muslims is one of the greatest outrages and humiliations in Islamic history
The issues of Somalia may upset Bin Laden, but they are a trifle compared to his Big Three
Bin Laden wanted to wage a Jihad for an Islamic caliphate.
Much of the actual structure was provided by a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot out of Egypt, same one responsible for the World Trade Center bombing.
We should not be fooled into believing or caring about the various pretexts for Islamic terrorism.
It’s motivated by Islam, not by anything we do.
“Historic Arab homelands?” You mean conquered and occupied lands. Jewish oppression of islamopithecines doesn’t exist. The islamopithecines oppress Jews at every opportunity, and have done so ever since islam was first defecated into the deserts of Arabia.
And Bin Loser had no grievances, legitimate or illegitimate, only islamic hatred for humanity, particularly dem Joos and Westerners, who were both infinitely superior to him before he became fish food, then fish shit and no obliterated without a trace.
The entire puritan edifice of pomposity needs to be removed. DOGE has revealed that the government is just a jobs program for the inbred. People that work for the government are not the “best and the brightest” obviously. They certainly do not think of Americans first. That should be the basic premise of government employment. If these people are the best and brightest, imagine what we had before!
Well put. “Public servants” do not bleed their constituents dry while fabulously enriching themselves on all kinds of scams, fraud, bribery, outright theft and nepotism.
I agree with all you say and upvoted you.
But, please know the Puritans have been much maligned and would not recognize themselves in their slanderous modern reputation by which they are known. Contrary to modern belief, they were humble people. They very much enjoyed sex, food and all the blessings received from the right hand of the LORD, and patiently endured, for their own good and the Glory of the LORD, what they received from His left hand.
I do not believe she was referring to The Puritans, but rather the bureaucracy upholding themselves as being pure and only interested in the public good.
Hm. President Trump must be aware of this. I wonder what he’ll do?
Just when I thought USAID couldn’t be any more anti American and evil.
I posted a LONG time ago that the USA should give the WORLD a two year notice “In two years we will no longer be the World’s “Baby Daddy”! We have reached our limit of generosity and patience. Our TAXPAYERS’ funds have been taken and used around the World for what? MORE people who bite the hand! SO, use these last two years of dwindling funding wisely. We also serve Notice to Mexico – clean up your corruption or we will defend OUR NATION by going where the ROOTS of crime originate! Keep YOUR people in YOUR Mexico. We allow VISITORS and LEGAL Immigration. To our ENEMIES – the days of our appeasements are over. Any attack on ANY American or American asset will be answered swiftly and devastatingly. We will not send thousands of our brave Men and Women – we will send missiles and bombs to turn your Leaders’ ideology around. Old saying “Don’t start none – won’t be none”!!
I’m proud of PRESIDENT TRUMP and his TEAM! Now if he can get the corrupt “judges” out of the way he can get this mess fixed. I’m still in favor of him just declaring MARTIAL LAW since the left has gone to WAR with him via the insane “judges”!
Yeah, Trump relies too much on a legal system which is thoroughly corrupt and has lower courts across the country headed by criminal judges who are Dirtbagocrat operatives. It’s a huge mistake on his part. Fuck image, the corrupt, brain-washed, stupid people and evil people who hate him all have one thing in common: only a minority of them will give up their irrational and misguided hatred. it should be directed at their beloved D-Bags, who are the real criminals. Many of them have come around and now support President Trump and more often his policies. It’s impossible for rational people to oppose success. Peace and prosperity are not dirty words. The patriots who love him will NEVER stop loving him. Sure, appeal all the illegal rulings through the court system but ignore them in the interim and have AG Bondi prosecute every one of those criminals. Their crimes are irrefutable as the Constitution clearly shows in black and white.
President Trump would never declare martial law nationally but I have no doubt he’ll do it locally if necessary this time around. He’s obviously learned his lessons from the few mistakes he made in his first term, especially the impractical restraint and leniency he showed rioters, terrorist organizations and criminal political enemies in his first term. For instance, he WILL crack down on Black Lies Murder and the Antifa pajama boys if they commit violent riots at any time during his term and declare martial law locally if necessary. I know it in my old ass bones.
Like their Hamas allies are going to learn at noon this Saturday, Black Lies Murder and Antifa are going to learn terrorism and sedition as usual, which WAS business as usual for them, is over. They’re living in the past but President Trump lives in the present and looks to the future. Those scum don’t have a chance against him.
I look forward to noon Saturday when President Trump will ensure that “all Hell breaks loose” on the intransigent Hamas braggarts. This is 2025, not 2021. Blow Job Biden’s fellatio of Hamas, the Terror mullahs of Iran and all the other jihadi groups, adversaries and enemies of America are over.
The assumption that keeps this USA-produced food from going to Americans is the supposition on the part of elites that Americans have an obligation to the rest of the world to divest themselves of all the work of their own hands and the blood of the ancestors by which they have received an inheritance of freedom and prosperity.
There is no recognition that many Americans’ lives have been destroyed by the exportation of manufacturing and the decline of family-owned farms and the importation of third-world hordes to replace them in every sphere of life.
The enemy spews lies to confuse and panic the dumbed down vox populi – Half a billion dollars worth of food would not feed half the smaller in population states – Some cancers must be surgically removed – and the surgical wound heals and the patient gets better and stronger – USA is the patient –
Sore losers would rather destroy than distribute.
Take their little balls and go home. Pettiness is another of the left’s innumerable character flaws and vices.
Time to Abolish USAID and tell the Phony Pope to Repent for his Sins
That’s happening even as we write these comments. It’s all but gone already. The staff in the USAID building was evicted last week and the sign on the building torn off. Criminal investigations of its members are being conducted by the DOJ.
♬Springtime, for Trump and America. The tranniess, are unhappy and gay. Springtime, for Trump and America. Winter, for USAID and “woke.”♬
Get that food to our families right now. Millions of us are being eaten alive by this manufactured inflation.
To sweeten the deal, I want to have the heads of the creators and proponents of the precipitous
cost-of-living perpetual motion machine to surrender to the executioner upon completion of the food
distribution so as to make their heads available to the public as proof that mass political corruption
will never be tolerated again sans the same punishment.
Call it ‘Tough Love 2025’.
