Honest question: Does anyone know if Trump and Milei have spoken, and if so how many times and how long? It seems after further reflection that Trump is imitating Milei's slash-and-burn technique.

USAID Pays the Terrorists Who Kill Us Catherine reports nearby that USAID dollars support Iran's proxies Hamas. If that's shocking, then you'll want to sit down for this next revelation. The U.S. State Department and USAID pay millions of dollars per week to the Taliban, the bin Laden family leading the group, and the Haqqani terror network. Remember those guys? The cost? Between $40-87 million per week. So....is this why they haven't attacked us, aside from the whole ocean separating us--we were paying them off?

Reply to vxbush in 3: Point of clarification: Adams noted: "[The] money to the Taliban moves through so many channels, but yes, USAID is one of them."
They didn't want people to figure this out.

Another destination for USAID funds, this time with specific figures: #1: In the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs’ announcement of $230 million in new funding for Gazans late last year, the Office bragged, “Since 2021, USAID/West Bank and Gaza has invested over $600 million in economic support funding of the Palestinian people, in addition to the over $1.2 billion in humanitarian assistance since October 7, 2023.” USAID/West Bank and Gaza is of course a subsidiary of the larger agency. #2: USAID again announced “seven new programs to foster peace between Palestinians and Israelis.” It is unclear from that November announcement exactly how much money was involved with this incredibly vaguely described initiative, but the Nita M. Lowey Middle East Partnership for Peace Act under which the programs came allocates $50 million a year for various programs. The programs include 29 awards altogether for Palestinian-related initiatives. And note the local angle in point #3: The House Foreign Affairs Committee posted today, “USAID is a mess. For every dollar it spends, only 12 cents actually reach those in need—the rest gets wasted or pocketed in the Beltway. It’s time to fix our foreign aid system.” Charities are mercilessly mocked for horrible ROI like this. If this is how money is spent, I suggest we do not EVER have a foreign aid system.

In #7 JCM said: It was snowing when I put this week up. I decide a tropical holiday was in order. We had a lovely weekend, and then the cold weather returned. I am not a fan of winter but cannot yet move south.
