To the editor:
Those on the left are screaming as fraudulent gifts and illegal immigrant criminals are being removed. This tells you where the Democrats are.
A good example is the United States Agency for International Development which is being shut down because they are giving American taxpayer money to other countries for terrible reasons.
From a column by Colin Stewart: USAID is giving $47,000 to Columbia for a transgender opera, $2 million to Guatemala for sex change operations and to promote LGBT, and $6 million to Egypt to fund tourism.
In the 2023 fiscal year, USAID provided or gave about $7.1 million worth of male condoms and about $1.1 million worth of female condoms to other countries?
Really?
Maybe the Democrats should have a department for condoms!
When you give bureaucrats money and the authority to use it any way they want, fraud will happen. Good people rue the day at what is happening but not the Democrats. Only because of Trump and Musk are we learning of this incredible waste.
Why did politicians give these bureaucrats this giveaway opportunity? You can believe they had a reason and buying votes is always a good guess. Helping George Soros kill democracy is another.
The Department of Education spent, according to USA facts.org, $268 billion in 2024 to make education worse instead of better. Sixty-five% of America's fourth graders read below grade level as shown by ReadersPartners.org.
The leader of the teacher's union charged that removing the DOE damages our children's lives. What an amazing distortion.
How could anything be worse than what the Department of Education is doing now?
Few know what the acronym USAID does but we know what Medicare, Medicaid, IRS and even the military does and they are all wasting money. I personally have witnessed Medicare fraud in two situations. Overcharging, mischarging. It's everywhere.
The noise is coming from bureaucrats and the liberal elements charging that those in power are destroying democracy and killing people. Their reaction is to attack Trump and Musk; submit a bill to impeach Trump; use news media to scream their distorted attacks to their constituencies. Do you suppose children who can't read and giving condoms will help democracy?
How would I react if I was a Democrat?
I would be as quiet as a mouse and vote for items that are obviously popular in America such as laws that forbid men from competing with women and deporting criminals. Why promote LGBT instead of feeding people, providing health care and producing jobs? Only those who put the party first and America last would support the rhetoric that Democrats are using.
What do Democrats want? Power or a great America?
