President John F. Kennedy was perhaps the last patriotic Democrat president we have had. He had a heart for others and, much like President Donald Trump today, they both believe that if people are provided the basics, they are more apt to be our friends than our enemies.

For example, on March 1, 1961, President Kennedy signed an executive order (EO) establishing the Peace Corps. That same year on November 3, 1961, USAID was born with a Kennedy EO and with it a spirit of progress and innovation rooted in a belief for doing right by others from around the world.

But USAID is now facing scrutiny after the presidential advisory committee, DOGE, led by Elon Musk, discovered and halted some wasteful payments from the agency, according to the White House.

Here is an early partial list of some of the USAID objectionable expenses:

  • $50 million to fund condoms in Gaza
  • $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia’s workplaces
  • $70,000 for the production of a DEI musical in Ireland
  • $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia
  • $32,000 for a transgender comic in Peru
  • $37 million to the World Health Organization
  • $16 million in funding for institutional contractors in gender development offices
  • $4 million of funding for the Center for Climate-Positive Development
  • $12 million in support services to the Bureau for Resilience, Environment, and Food Security
  • $6 million in non-emergency funding for redundant administrative supports for the Center of Excellence
  • $3 million in non-emergency funding to provide evaluation services for planning and learning programs
  • $600,000 to fund technical assistance for family planning in Latin America

USAID funds all types of

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave a brief press conference outside the White House noting some of the early findings of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by entrepreneur businessman Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX, etc.).

So of course, right away, the liberals and left with their own agenda had to pile on Trump and Musk for their efforts to bring the United States back from red ink to black ink.

Bill Gates had to offer his two cents on The View television show yesterday:

โ€œElonโ€™s private sector work has been very innovative, really fantastic.

[But] a lot of private-sector people, when they get into government, they don’t necessarily take the time to see what the good work is or why it’s structured the way it is.

So I’m a little worried, particularly with this USAID stuff.

CONCLUSION:

It is easy to see why decent people like Donald Trump and Elon Musk have left the Democratic Party. Todayโ€™s Democrats are either the socialist or globalist enemies within or just plain lunatic crazy. Sean Hannity of Fox News called out the Democrats pretty succinctly in his show.

โ€œElon Musk uncovers massive government waste, fraud, abuse and exposes billions and billions and billions of far left taxpayer-funded global piggy bank that they get their power from and they are ready to go to war?

According to the left, Elon Musk is now anti-American with a threat to democracy.

Why? For holding America’s elected bureaucracy accountable?โ€

Here are a couple of quick fact checks for the American taxpayers both blue and red in color preference as noted by Sean Hannity recently:

โ€œRemember.

We are $40 trillion in debt. They (Democrats) are stealing your money. They are stealing the money for your children and you grandchildren. And, the Biden administration, we just found out today made $236 billion in improper payments last year alone. That is a quarter of a trillion dollars they wasted and weโ€™re now beginning to see where they were spending that money because they get their power doing that.

The inflation under Biden devalued the dollar by more than 20%. Americans are struggling to get by our living paycheck to paycheck. They’re paying the bare minimum on their credit cards, The Democratic party is upset that all of this money, this insanity, this DEI woke ideology, green new deal madness abroad, not even for our country is no longer going to be able to fund transgender operas in Europe and DEI programs in Asia and they’re calling this a constitutional crisis, their word of the day?

This is madness. And thanks to President Trump and Elon Musk, America is being rescued from a malignant, out-of-control bureaucracy. The swamp is being drained.โ€

It has been reported that some 97% of the bureaucrats who worked in the USAID donated to the Democratic Party. That is called โ€œYou scratch my back, and Iโ€™ll scratch yours.โ€

Personally, I would like to see a forensic audit of every member of Congress as well as the DNC. These Federal offices and programs are smelling too much like a money laundering operation on a gigantic scale!

Elon Musk is doing what he is doing without pay taking a lesson from President Donald Trump. There is an important lesson to remember here, โ€œWhen you come from money, you do not need to steal money.โ€

So the next time you hear a Democrat utter the word โ€œbillionaireโ€ in a rant against Musk or Trump, call them out for who they are โ€bullies in errorโ€!

People like Representative AOC (D) wonโ€™t get it and that will make it all the more priceless.

And if you think I sound like some crazy conservative right-wing nut job, I will just leave this here:

โ€œUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine has only received about $75 billion of the $177 billion in aid that was allegedly sent from the United States.โ€
