USAID; At the top of the list was a $1.5 million program slated to "advance diversity, equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities" and a $70,000 program for a "DEI musical" in Ireland.
Initiatives that supported LGBTQ programs were also flagged as an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, including $47,000 for a "transgender opera" in Colombia, $32,000 for a "transgender comic book" in Peru and $2 million for sex changes and "LGBT activism" in Guatemala.,

It's insane how incompetent the Obiden admin was..... The poster Cremieux compiled a list on X at link
In an email blast titled "Fake News: Hoax Machine Keeps Running" sent Tuesday, the White House press office shot down four recent stories generated by Democrat lawmakers and legacy media.
The first detailed an assertion by Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., that said the Trump administration took away the ability to file taxes for free. "That's an easily debunked lie — the official IRS Direct File website remains online and is accepting tax returns. It's such an egregious lie, even the Associated Press admits 'the free filing program is still available,' " the press office wrote.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., this week likened the Trump administration to a "dictatorship" for its move to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development.
"Ending U.S. taxpayer funding of transgender comic books in Peru, DEI in Serbia, and transgender operas (whatever those are) in Colombia is not akin to a 'dictatorship' — it's holding unelected bureaucrats accountable for their spending decisions," the WH replied.
The third involved media reports that Department of Government Efficiency "operatives" were trying "to gain access to secure [government] spaces."
"White House Communications Director Steven Cheung confirmed the reports were 'FAKE NEWS. Not even remotely true at all,' " while top DOGE adviser Katie Miller noted " 'no classified material was accessed without proper security clearances,' "
Finally, the WH responded to an independent report that DOGE had "illegally installed a commercial server to control federal HR databases that contain sensitive personal information."
" ... Miller declared there is 'nothing illegal and no server, just more made up tall tales from uninformed career bureaucrats who probably telework,' " the WH responded.
Senator Joni Ernst details some of the insane spending from USAID:
- $2 million for Moroccan pottery classes - $2 million promoting tourism to Lebanon - $20 million for a Sesame Street show in Iraq - Sending Ukranians to Paris Fashion Week - $9 million to feed Syrians ended up in terrorist hands - $1 million for risky research in Wuhan lab
I agree with you. Fortunately though, people who actually watch the "lame street media" are becoming a smaller and smaller part of the electorate.
Take my wife for example she refuses to watch any new outlet but gets all her info from TikTok.
The WH press office is becoming a legit source of facts.
It seems that some of the liberal news orgs [Politico and NYT] have a lot of subscription $$$$ coming in from US taxpayers. My bet, This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Democrat corruption.
Now we see why many of these news agencies are running cover for the Dem party....and the Schumer's of the world are panicking that their corruption is all going to be exposed.
No doubt they will ramp up the attacks on Musk and DOGE-

As President Donald Trump announces plans to restructure the federal government and remove entrenched left-wing activist bureaucrats , the Left has reacted with outrage. Many claimed that such firings are an unprecedented attack on the civil service. However, history tells a different story. The blueprint for mass firings in the federal government was not drafted by Trump—it was authored by President Bill Clinton.
The Creation of Bill Clinton's Deep State
For the record, President Bill Clinton took drastic action upon entering office, firing all federal appointees and those reporting directly to them, reaching three levels deep into the management hierarchy. This included upper-level, middle-level, and lower-level managers. Such sweeping dismissals were unprecedented in modern history.
The stated reason for these actions was to reform government and make it more efficient. Under the guise of the 1993 "Reinventing Government Initiative," Clinton oversaw the termination of 377,000 federal employees. This initiative, led by then-Vice President Al Gore, was marketed as an effort to cut bureaucratic bloat. Clinton publicized that his administration reduced the government payroll from 2.15 million employees to 1.79 million by the end of his term (U.S. Office of Personnel Management). However, while he claimed to be trimming the size of government, he was in reality expanding it dramatically.
Rather than actually reducing the government’s reach, Clinton tripled its size by shifting millions of jobs to government contractors. This maneuver allowed his administration to hide the true expansion of government within the bureaucracy. The federal workforce, under his administration, effectively grew from 2.15 million to a staggering 9.1 million (Project On Government Oversight), all hired by liberal activist managers.
This restructuring was the foundation for what has become the “deep state”—an unelected bureaucratic class that exercises significant influence over government operations, often in opposition to elected leaders who challenge the status quo. The same entity that Trump is now attempting to confront was a product of Clinton’s drastic reshaping of the federal workforce.
Setting the Precedent for Trump’s Actions
The Democrats are framing Trump's efforts to remove government employees as radical and dangerous. Yet, Clinton, a Democrat, set the precedent for such dismissals. The key difference is that while Clinton’s actions were aimed at consolidating power within a left-leaning bureaucracy, Trump’s efforts have been directed at reducing that bureaucracy’s grip on governance and returning government to the people.
Trump’s battle against the entrenched federal workforce is not an attack on democracy—it is an attempt to undo a system that was carefully crafted over decades to resist conservative leadership. The idea that federal employees should be immune from accountability is a modern invention, and Clinton himself showed that mass firings could be justified in the name of reform.
As the debate over federal employment rages on, it is important to remember who first wielded the axe. Trump may be making headlines for firing government employees, but he is merely following in the footsteps of the master—Bill Clinton.

If you wondered since 2016 how come the blob and the Democratic Party were aligned so exquisitely in their operations to destroy populism (personified by Mr. Trump) and to permanently entrench single party power in America for all time to come, it’s because an endless font of taxpayer money was streamed into countless non-governmental orgs creating a shadow civil service of Democratic Party activists that melded seamlessly with the big policy-making agencies.
The money was laundered through manifold layers of these orgs and their sub-orgs to pay for an ongoing “color revolution” in the USA — lawfare, election fraud, propaganda, censorship, career cancellation, medical fuckery, open borders, and other totalitarian ploys — while enriching political players at all those manifold layers from multi-millionaire congressmen and senators to thousands of NGO officials making six-figure salaries to street hustlers like Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter and “anti-racism” racist Ibram X. Kendi and his $50-million Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University (recently axed) — and, of course, ultimately the former Potemkin president “Joe Biden” and his family.
It was all this money that drove eight years of sponsored insanity. Mainly, it kept the hands of the Democratic Party firmly on the levers of power so that nothing could be done about the insults and injuries they were inflicting on our country. So, is it a mystery now that nobody was prosecuted for burning the cities in 2020, or for magically creating millions of extra “Joe Biden” votes out of nowhere that year, or setting up the kickback machine from Ukraine to Congress, or forcing millions to get a janky vaccine?

The DOGE has uncovered a government racketeering operation of which the USAID scandal is but one cog in a colossal engine of grift. What the public, including you readers, may not appreciate is how much planning went on over the past year to mount the DOGE effort, and how comprehensively the work of its many hundreds of computer techies (not just six whiz-kids) has laid bare the money-trails out of previously impenetrable government computers. Their algorithms have pierced the firewalls, revealing decades of fraud and deceit.
If they did not know about the USAID bull$#!& payola programs, then they are incompetent. If they did, then they were part of the corruption. Either way, they are guilty of lying to the tax paying citizens of the USA.
I've said this for years, no citizen should be paying their taxes, the IRS is not part of the Constitution, and those taxes should be going to America first, America second, and America third. Not to ANY other foreign entity, especially to our enemies.
The list of absurdities is much longer than I ever expected.
The fraud is exposed, the curtain has been pulled away, and those DEMONcrats are upset because the gravy train has dried up.
