The meme that American tax dollars were funding both sides of the conflict was real! (pic)

The California high-speed rail project is an example of where incompetence in the limit is indistinguishable from fraud.
USAID: Biden threatened to withhold a $1 billion USAID loan guarantee unless Ukraine fired the prosecutor investigating his son's company. Victoria Nuland funded the Ukrainian coup with USAID money. USAID is at the heart of the war between Ukraine and Russia. Wow. (video)
DOGE: Democrats in Congress didn't seem to mind that China had remote access to EVERY workstation in the Treasury as recently as December. Now a month later they're freaking out that Trump's appointees are accessing the very same computers - demanding violence in the streets. Doesn’t that seem odd?

@AutismCapital

Mike Benz: “USAID is effectively a rent-a-riot operation. That raises questions about the Black Lives Matter protests.” NEW: Tucker Carlson x Mike Benz podcast just dropped. (video)

@Joe_S_Pure

So here's the REAL story: Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission. Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in Qatar by the CIA. Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.

@MJTruthUltra

Damn… Bishop Mariann Budde has made a WHOPPING $53 Million in taxpayer funds through her organization, Episcopal Migration Ministries… She belongs behind bars… not behind a pulpit.
Oh boy… President Trump has Instructed Elon Musk and DOGE to audit the Pentagon. My mind went immediately to Donald Rumsfeld announcing they Cannot Account for over $2.3 Trillion Dollars, one day before 9/11. • The Pentagon has not passed any of its audits since they began in 2018. —— There were no audits publicly acknowledged before this date. • In its most recent audit, the Pentagon could account for 50% of its $3.8 trillion, leaving $1.9 trillion unaccounted for. We’re about to learn some deep dark truths… (video)

@ShadowofEzra

USAID has spent millions of taxpayer dollars into cloud seeding projects. A staggering $2.4 million was handed to the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the agency tasked with managing water supplies in the region. Another $2 million was directed to the Nevada System of Higher Education, which controls all state-funded colleges, universities, and research institutions. Another conspiracy theory proven true.

@JimFergusonUK

BREAKING: CANADA DELETES ENTIRE FOREIGN AID DATABASE—WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? Global Affairs Canada just wiped all public records of foreign aid spending. Taxpayer-funded billions—gone from public view, no transparency, no accountability. Why the sudden cover-up? What corrupt dealings are they trying to bury? Canadians deserve answers. Who got the money? Where did it go? The timing is highly suspicious.

@MilaLovesJoe

George Soros received $260M from USAID. Chelsea Clinton received $84M from USAID. Thousands of North Carolinians are living in tents and its snowing on them. They got $750. Democrats are perfectly fine with all of this.

@WallStreetApes

Things are about to get crazy at the US Mexico Border. Tom Homan says he expects the cartel to escalate with violence very soon But Tom Homan wants to send a very clear message to the Cartel: MUST LISTEN: “To the cartels, let me give the cartels a warning. If you harm a board patrol agent or a soldier, the whole world's gonna come down on you. President Trump is a strong president. He is strong enough, and he has the ability to wipe them off the face of the earth.” (video)
Elderly American Citizen has just seen the news about what Elon Musk and DOGE have exposed with USAID. Her response: “I want back every goddamn tax dollar I ever paid in, ever.” Same. We all feel the exact same way. (video)

@VigilantFox

NEW: Bill Maher concedes that Trump is probably RIGHT about scrapping the Department of Education. “It’s not like the kids are getting smarter.” “Now, I don’t know that much about it, but I’ve never read good things. Rahm Emanuel, who I agree with on almost everything here, had a quote. He said: ‘A third of eighth graders can’t read, and now he wants to close the department?’ And I thought, that’s probably why they can’t read, or at least partly.” “I mean, the numbers keep getting worse and worse and worse. And I don’t know if the Department of Education… I don’t know what it does except take money. It’s sort of a middleman.” (video)

@MarioNawfal

ELON: RON PAUL SHOULD LEAD A FEDERAL RESERVE AUDIT. Elon has backed the idea of letting Ron Paul—a longtime critic of the Federal Reserve—lead an audit of the central bank. Paul has long advocated for auditing and abolishing the Fed, arguing it operates without transparency and inflates the currency at the expense of Americans.
NONCITIZENS CAN GET A SSN—AND IT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. For years, the Social Security Administration allowed noncitizens—including some without work authorization—to obtain SSNs for "nonwork reasons." A government benefit? A state or local law? That could be enough. The Biden-era SSA rules from December 2024 confirm it: Certain noncitizens could get SSNs if a federal, state, or local agency required one for public benefits. All they needed was a letter citing the law that demanded it.
USAID RIGGED BRAZIL’S ELECTIONS AND CALLED IT “AID”. USAID didn’t just send aid to Brazil—it funded censorship, backed left-wing activists, and helped rig the 2022 election against Bolsonaro. Ex-State Department official Mike Benz exposed how the agency ran a “holy war on censorship,” targeting Bolsonaro supporters and suppressing their content online. Millions flowed to NGOs pushing leftist narratives, including the Felipe Neto Institute, which received U.S. funding while Bolsonaro allies were deplatformed.

@SenJohnKennedy

Remember this: The people who are screaming about Pres. Trump's and Musk’s audits of federal govt spending are the same people who wanted to hire 80,000 new IRS auditors to audit YOU.

@BGatesIsaPsycho

Bill Gates has all the money in the World but is obsessed with vaccines & mosquitoes whilst believing Earth is overpopulated. Not a good combo. (video)

Scary quote of the day. (pic)

@CreasonJana

@ChelseaClinton has been receiving an annual-recurring fund from USAID, allocated by Obama for her Foundation, in order to provide afternoon meals to children in Africa, India, and Bangladesh … to a total to-date of $84 million. That sounds all well and fine on the surface. Who doesn’t want to see kids be fed?!?! However, as of today, the reported number of meals served stands at 11,886, implying an astonishing cost of $1,410 per meal. That sounds as bad as the $1,280 expenditure ‘per individual disposable coffee cup’ at the IRS. Makes you wonder if the coffee cup replaced your lipstick, brushed your teeth and wiped your arse after taking a shit, then became edible afterwards for that price.

@defense_civil25

Update: Bill Gates' Foundation was secretly given $30M from USAID since 2012 to push his population reduction agenda!! (pic)

OpenVAERS:

VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,022,221 Reports(+1,091 from prior report) Through December 27th, 2024.

SKirsch.com:

Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
