The "food" thing is just more NGO fake bullshit. The articles covering for USAID are just fake as fuck. There is more than enough food sent to various countries by Christian organizations than USAID had ever sent. All the USAID money was grift and stolen tax money. Half of which went back to blue campaigns. Stop watching MS-13 NOW.

If foreign aid offends you, wait until you find out how much Israel cost every US taxpayer this year. I'm happy to fund WHO research and meteorological efforts that benefit all Americans, but am decidedly less convinced that billions in taxpayer dollars need to flow to a pariah state: https://foreignassistance.gov/cd/israel/

The US spent the equivalent of $710 on each Israeli citizen in 2024 alone. What are we paying for, Ghislaine's court fees?

You'll be happy to learn that Netanyahu favors tapering off US aid, although some US politicians are less enthusiastic.

> What are we paying for

Some very important influence. For example, US thought Israel's Lavi program would compete with F-16, and Israel canceled it. Later it canceled a lucrative Phalcon AEW sale to China, even though Israel had already committed, because of US pressure. Etc.

USAID is a poison pill, setup by the Democrats. They intentionally laundered money through it for years, and acted like they were saving the hungry/needy, but also wasting millions of dollars in the process. In addition to this, my own tax dollars were used to fund things like protests and other nonsense against the people that actually paid for it (me).

All politicians ignored it because the press would make it into political suicide for anyone that tried to make cuts. We needed someone like Elon to do it, because in the end, he's not really a politician and it won't hurt his career.

If you are going to make the ridiculous claim that Musk is a 'killer'. I will make the same claim about anyone supporting abortion.
