$8 Million to a Sri Lankan journalist group to learn to avoid using “binary-gendering language”

(X/IGrok can’t spell, or learn that DOGs HAve only one head , desPite repeated requests, but you get the gist of the quote from 2013)

Somewhere in this country, there’s a small town that could use a grant of $8 million to help rebuild its school, or library, or upgrade its sewer and water system. That town is not in Sri Lanka.

I heard a Democrat congressman on the radio this morning admitting that yes, there does seem to have been a bit of unnecessary spending going on, “But he [Musk] should prepare a report, and present it to Congress so that we can study it, discuss it, and only then take action.” He really meant “and then bury it”, of course, just as Washington has been doing with such studies for at least the past 60 years.

To a Congressman, $4 million dollars sent to Kazakhstan “to combat disinformation”, or $1.2 million to fund a Peruvian tranvestite dance group may seem a piddling, insignificant sum, not even worth noticing, but to a taxpayer who has worked all year and sent in, say, $25,000 of his earnings to the IRS this month, thus depriving his family of that money, it’s a spit in the face, a stick up the rear end. And yet the screams of outrage from the trough-suckers are focused solely on Musk and his boss’s rough tactics; nothing is said about the waste of money itself, no mention is made of what the government has been doing to the free citizens who voluntarily surrendered a part of their freedom to the care of their elected representatives. Congress has so grossly abused that trust that the people voted in a firebrand, a man who promised to clean the stables and flush out the manure, as well as the people who have deposited it.

No wonder the most equal of the pigs are trembling in fear and outrage. Senator Kennedy isn’t buying it, and neither is the public.

WATCH: Sen. Kennedy Takes On USAID’s Wasteful Spending, And It's Awesome

The Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) recent scrutiny of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has sent Democrats into a panic, exposing their favorite taxpayer-funded slush fund for radical causes. The revelations have struck a nerve, and they’re scrambling to contain the fallout. Meanwhile, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) delivered a devastating takedown of the Democratic Party for its shameless defense of USAID, making it clear just how deep their priorities lie—and it’s not with the American taxpayer.

And it would be a shame if you didn’t see it.

"To my friends who are upset, I would say with respect, call somebody who cares. You better get used to this. It’s USAID today, it’s going to be the Department of Education tomorrow," Kennedy said on Fox News earlier this week.

And he has continued to call out the waste that has been funded through USAID.

“This has been going on for a week,” Kennedy explained. “People have been screaming like they're part of a prison riot. ‘Oh, my God, look at what Musk is doing. He's looking at the spending.’ And I've listened to people talk about the process and debate whether it's constitutional and discuss how many lawyers can dance on the head of a pen. But you know what? I haven't heard one single person who's upset with President Trump or Mr. Musk, talk about what he's found.”

So Kennedy went on to explain what has been found.

“Okay, listen up,” he began. “Now, Mr. Musk started with the USAID that handles a lot of foreign aid for America—American people—very generous. But I tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I found it fascinating."

He discovered that the American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan. He found that we are giving money to Yemen. He found that we are giving money to Syria. I didn't know that some of our foreign aid is going to Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria. He found that the USAID has 10,000 people, 10,000 people—employees—and every year they give away $40 billion. He. He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money. He found that USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. I didn't know that. I bet you the American people didn't know that. He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group called Grupa Izadji.

He went on to point out how DOGE has uncovered $164 million in taxpayer funds funneled to radical organizations worldwide. “We’re not talking Cub Scout troops here,” Kennedy said, highlighting the shocking fact that $122 million went to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations. He specifically called out USAID for giving “millions of dollars to, quote, organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas,” demanding answers: “Why? Why? Why aren't my colleagues talking about that? Can anyone answer that? Recipients of the money they found have, quote, called for their lands to be cleansed from the impurity of Jews. That's who we're giving foreign aid to?"

Kennedy further exposed egregious spending, including $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala, $20 million for a “new Sesame Street show in Iraq,” and $7.9 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists to “avoid binary gendered language.” Kennedy didn’t hold back, asking bluntly, “Do you think most taxpayers would support that?” His takedown laid bare USAID’s disturbing misuse of public funds, leaving Democrats scrambling to defend the indefensible.

“I could go all night, and many of my colleagues are upset,” Kennedy said. “They're really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal.”
