Condoms for terrorists, “queer-feminist” lectures, and DEI musicals are among the truly outrageous funding initiatives of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). It is long past time for this unconstitutional and useless agency to be shut down so that the American people‘s money will not continue to be wasted on absolutely preposterous, woke ideological projects.
I have already exposed the billions of dollars USAID lavished on Hamas-run Gaza, and Matt Margolis and Victoria Taft discussed the cash spent on DEI overseas and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan (including the bin Laden family). But the rabbit hole only goes deeper and wackier. USAID workers and defenders are as crazy as the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat but much less amusing.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast released a lengthy list on Feb. 4 of some of the most staggeringly stupid USAID grants. Some of them you have probably seen now in other articles or social media posts, but most of them require you to do a double take and read it several times before you can believe this is not a joke.

Of course, in the long run, it really is a joke. The joke was practiced by corrupt bureaucrats on the American people. No responsible government could possibly justify “$15 million for condoms to the Taliban through USAID” (especially since the Muslim Taliban bans condoms) or “$446,700 to promote the expansion of atheism in Nepal through the State Department.” But the Democrats and some Republicans and other career bureaucrats have spent so long acting outside the purview of the Constitution and without accountability, that they are flabbergasted that the gravy train just crashed and exploded.
Read some examples below from Mast’s list of other preposterous expenditures of our hard-earned cash, and keep in mind how many Americans were struggling to pay bills or suffering from natural disasters under the Biden-Harris administration:
It’s all a total grift. No more than 12 cents of every USAID dollar actually reaches the intended target. It seems pretty clear that the agency is little more than a money-laundering operation and, as such, it’s praiseworthy and long overdue that the Trump administration aims to shut it down.
