America’s foreign aid programs have often failed to place U.S. interests first, or have even worked contrary to U.S. interests, according to The Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neil, author of “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.” “The Left’s dark money network has deep ties to [the United States Agency for International Development],” which has rightly received renewed scrutiny under [the Department of Government Efficiency] and after Elon Musk shined a light on it,” O’Neil said while testifying Wednesday before the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency.

There is a lot here about how American leftist nonprofits are intertwined with this travesty.

We should have stopped giving taxpayer dollars to countries that hate us a long time ago. They can hate us just a vehemently for free!

Send in US Marine or Army units to each USAID compound in foreign countries to pull out the traitors and shut them down. The report on the one in Egypt was chilling enough.

Even as a teen, I wondered why this country was giving so much money to so many countries that didn't like us, and we seemed to get nothing in return for it, but anti-American protests. I got that impression just from watching news broadcasts and reading news magazines some 55 years ago. If I figured it out without paying that much attention to it, then it must have been pretty obvious, yet D.C. kept doing it.

One Health: The New Godless Quasi-Religion
that Ranks Humans Below Nature
0 replies
Posted by Judy W. 3/3/2025 7:10:14 AM Post Reply
A new, Godless, quasi-religion—One Health—is being thrust upon the world. Its apostles say it will save humanity, or rather, life itself. Allied with Marxism in its denigration of the “exploitive nature of capitalism” as is demonstrated in the green movement, it debases humankind by equating us with, even putting us below, all other life forms. Its principal church is the World Health Organization (WHO), so President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw from the WHO—or gain American control over it—must be seen in the light of this globalist agenda. (Snip) Once signed, the treaty and IHR amendments will be legally binding on the WHO’s 194 member nations.

Every now and then I will share a social media post here, although my articles are normally more in depth. It’s those who won’t do the dying who most love the fighting. See if you can spot the connection between our frantic efforts to continue the money laundering operation, sorry Just War, in Ukraine and the existence of a parasitic new aristocracy since World War II. It’s not hard to join the dots, is it? Boots on the Ground “The UK are prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air”. How odd. I don’t remember being asked, do you?

Defunding the Teacher Trainers 6 replies

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Education eliminated two major teacher-training programs: the $70 million-a-year Teacher Quality Partnerships program as well as the $80 million-a-year Supporting Effective Educator Development grants. This is terrific news, not just for the budgetary savings but because it strikes an emphatic blow at training that has promoted dubious dogmas and politicized classrooms. (Snip) The Department of Education noted that many of the teacher preparation and training programs featured social-justice activism, a hyper-fixation on race, and recruiting strategies “implicitly and explicitly based on race.” Grant proposals included programs that instruct teachers to address “systemic forms of oppression and inequity” and pressure trainees

CAMPBELL, Ohio -- Sept. 19 marked 47 years since thousands of workers, who were mainly men, did what they did every Monday in the valley. They walked into the Campbell Works of Youngstown Sheet and Tube along the Mahoning River for the early shift. Within an hour of the workers' shift, Youngstown Sheet and Tube abruptly furloughed 5,000 of them in a single day. Within months, 16 more plants owned by U.S. Steel shut down, including Youngstown-based Ohio Works.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. (Snip) I want to talk about a lost agrarian world and what it was like before the rapid industrialization and suburbanization of America and the values. I want to do that because we have all of these misconceptions and all of this indoctrination and all of this ideological bias about the past. We talk about this white, monolithic, racist society that has to be overturned under DEI, but let me go back to 1960. I was born here, where I’m speaking, on 125-130 acres of a family farm that had been in my family since 1870.

Time to go a’privateering? We’ve heard a bit about letters of marque and reprisal recently. Sen. Mike Lee has proposed bringing back letters of marque in a thread on X, suggesting them as a tool for going after Mexican drug cartels. Erik Prince, who founded Blackwater, the private security company (it’s rude to call them “mercenaries”) has also weighed in in favor of this approach. My own Congressman, Tim Burchett (R-TN) has introduced legislation allowing the President to issue letters of marque and reprisal against cartels, the Cartel Marque and Reprisal Reauthorization Act of 2025, co-sponsored with Rep. Mark Messmer, (R-IN).

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to speak a little bit today, very briefly, about the Pentagon under new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Did you notice that of all the controversial Trump nominees—Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, RFK, Tulsi Gabbard—the Left went after Pete Hegseth the most vehemently? And he required JD Vance to break that tie. There was a reason for that. He is proposing radical changes in the Pentagon. (Snip)We spend $820 billion a year. It’s about 14% of the entire budget and it’s immune to criticism. And we are building $14 billion carriers.

Though it’s been just a month since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump is making his presence felt at home and abroad, from the Department of Government Efficiency to tariffs to setting the stage to negotiate the end of the Russia-Ukraine war. Republican Reps. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Andy Harris of Maryland, and others experienced just how Trump is shaking things up across Europe as they attended the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London this week. “What’s loud and clear to me is that Europeans aren’t happy,” Norman said. “The people aren’t happy; the leaders are.”

I confess it's a wee bit demoralising to find JD Vance has stunned Europe with a speech that contains nothing that would be remotely surprising to any reader of this website for the last quarter-century. Of course, he's the Vice President of the United States and I'm a "niche Canadian". And in fairness JD was still in high school back when I started boring on about this stuff. Nevertheless, the German defence minister Herr Großer von Wich ser spoke for the entire European establishment when he magisterially pronounced Mr Vance's remarks "not acceptable". Germany, France and the rest of Western Europe are dying before our eyes, but it remains "not acceptable"

The Ukrainian president announced the country is "ready to sign" a minerals deal with the US. The comments come two days after the Ukrainian president, U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice-president JD Vance had a threeway fight in the Oval Office on Friday. Zelensky's statement also added that the signing of the deal would "be the first step toward security guarantees." "We are ready to sign the minerals agreement," he said in a post on X. "It will be the first step toward security guarantees." "But it’s not enough, and we need more than just that," he added. "A ceasefire without security guarantees is dangerous for Ukraine."

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is holding a Ukraine summit in London today with EU leaders, following two phone calls with President Trump. According to the outline Starmer proposed on BBC News, following the disastrous Zelenskyy meeting in the White House, the British PM called President Trump and also Emmanuel Macron. According to his statements, Starmer told Trump he would work with Macron +2 unidentified countries (a “coalition of the willing”), to organize an EU security force for a Ukraine ceasefire; then the group will require Trump to provide a U.S. troop “backstop” as an insurance policy.

Speaking at London Stansted Airport after a day meeting with European and world leaders and King Charles, Zelensky said his country's freedom is "not for sale". Despite vowing not to quit despite pressure from the Trump administration after a White House talks descended into a chaotic shouting match, the leader did say he would step down as President if it meant Ukraine could join NATO.

For three months last year, he campaigned on the national ticket with Kamala Harris. As late as Election Day, Walz was convinced that he and Harris were headed to the White House.

Across America, universities are openly defying President Trump’s Executive Order 14151, issued in January 2025, which aimed to end the radical and wasteful DEI bureaucracy infecting institutions nationwide. The order mandates merit-based practices and the termination of DEI initiatives in federal agencies and contractors. Despite this, many universities continue to reinforce their ideological grip on academia, prioritizing DEI over federal law.

Her Imperial Majesty Hillary I, Dowager-Empress of Chappaqua, should learn when to holster her gargantuan sense of entitlement, along with her equally massive ego, and just keep her mouth shut. But then, remaining silent, no matter how prudent that might be at the time, has never been Her Imperial Highness' strong suit. Come to think of it, does Hillary Clinton have a strong suit? If she does, there's damn little evidence of it, and in another demonstration in "opening her mouth and removing all doubt," Her Royal Majesty made the mistake of taking on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on X, who promptly defenestrated her.

During an episode of the Joe Rogan podcast this weekend, Elon Musk explained how left wing billionaire George Soros has perfected the art of fleecing American taxpayers by using non-profit organizations (NGOs) to advance his progressive agenda. Musk suggests that once one of these organizations is established, they can then lobby the U.S. government for millions in grants and other forms of aid and that there is little to no accountability. This is one of the reasons why the left is freaking out about DOGE and the exposure of these grifts. DOGE represents an existential threat to the left’s ability to fund their political machine.

Western leaders hope to revive a peace deal with tensions rising between the U.S. and Ukraine.
