This is like a bad joke.
Trump found a group of people he doesn't mind letting into the US. White South African Afrikaners
Lol

I guess all that America First, America is for Americans and America is Full really didn't matter if the immigrants were white.

Are we witnessing another fold?
Following in the footsteps of Canada, Panama Colombia
I wouldn’t call Colombia’s action a ‘fold’. Their president simply opted to treat his citizens with dignity by offering his presidential plane to convey them.

Its a fold. What kind of dignity? They made so much noise then look for an excuse as they cave.

I've been trying to get my head around the USAID issues for a while and my conclusion is that most of these payment tags we see are cover ups for the promotion of US interests in certain countries.

I don't think it is legal to put the right things in there because of the illegality of some of these promotions. Take something like this, you see that they wrote the correct thing there and what you'd have been seeing are: payment for staffs illegally drilling oil in so and so country or payment for our assets in Vietnam or our contractors for "whatever secret trades of certain rare minerals" in the middle East.

We have to look holistically at this and not get triggered to tag these things before getting the true issue these payments were disbursed for.

You know the US are running some very lucrative illegal trades or mining in some of these destabilised countries and these could be their payment methods.

Imagine the world seeing, payment for illegal mining of minerals in Nigeria or Djibouti or mobilization fee for illegal drilling in Syria or others.

Also, most of those so-called terrorists in the media are CIA assets who the US use to control important resources in their domains. How do you label a payment to such person that wouldn't have caused another "Snowdon's" level of outrage worldwide?

I think this agency called DOGE have rookies that do not understand clandestine operations, especially political ones or Elon and co do but they do not care. Either way, it is so bad for America because how do you expect to get the next shipments of raw solid and rare earth minerals from illegal miners in Iraq when you haven't sent the next payment to your warlord connect?

These guys will just move their business elsewhere and have others fill in for them. Black market brokers would be licking their hands right now that Trump is pushing on things like these.

Make we just they see how China go enjoy this move wella.
I'm enjoying the expose. Taxpayers need to know how insane the Democrat party is and how their tax dollars are being squandered

Transparency is key and I think they are at a point now where the people are sick and tired of playing global police. Every move of Trump gives me the impression that na all man for himself regime be this. No money to waste. All these countries and our interests in them do absolutely nothing for the bottomline is his mentality

Trump says he's kicking undocumented immigrants out of Social Security.

One small problem, though -- undocumented immigrants are ALREADY ineligible for Social Security benefits.

The US gets lots of things in return more than they give. Imagine the illegal drilling in Syria, Iraq, etc and other illegal mining from those other countries they send aids to.

Should we talk about their interests in some countries too?

Remove the aids and these guys will move to the highest bidder. Remember, China and some other countries are lurking around to get these new partners if the US fails.

The net product of this action is that the US will be at a loss, they will lose more ground while their counterparts will gain more.

You think China and Russia will give you free money for DEI and gender bending studies in Sri Lanka grin

Dey play. US might have their flaws but the sheer size of their economy means they will never not be relevant.

If you think the US are users wait let China hold your country for waist first.

From NATO, to USAID to the other free money they're giving everywhere they're the Universal sugar Daddy and all these countries you listed above simply can't cope

The European Union is scrambling to cut taxes on American cars in a bid to avert a trade war with Donald Trump.

Brussels is preparing to lower tariffs of 10pc on US cars shipped into the bloc in an effort to appease President Trump, a senior EU lawmaker said on Friday.

Americans are at the highest levelsof conspicuous consumption. Consumerism running riot.

Trump knows other countries economy would take a hit if he reduced imports from them.
That is leverage. He knows how to weld it.

Coordinated effort by the corrupt to prevent DOGE exposing decades long corruption and wanton wastage. CNN holds an hour long segment about "big balls' . Not what his skillset brings to the table. Yes what a hormone raging teenager wrote in a deleted account should disqualify him from exposing the rot in the media and politics .
We seem to have gone full cycle back to neanderthals.

Anyone who kept quiet in all the decades before has lost all right to point to one dept

Why didn't anyone Dem Republicans open case file for Pentagon when they were in power?

It's like a child has headache, stomach ache, rashes and the guardian ignored.

Another guardian took over and caring for the rashes and the initial person is pointing that why are you not looking at the headache? The sick child was with you for weeks you didn't touch any of the ailment

Anyone who was there for decades watching the mismanagement and didn't say anything has lost the moral right to point fingers to say why are you not checking this or that

So wait first let the audit be done on wherever and we wait to see

So which one benefits the American taxpayers more? Going to the 0.01% American billionaire like Bezos who can likely create more jobs for Americans or going to Sesame street in Iraq, Trans in Colombia and DEI in Serbia
The Pentagon is another animal. An audit will take place. It will be completed in 4 years. I think Hegseth is right on that.
During a town hall with defense staffers, Hegseth said that he will ensure the Pentagon “at a bare minimum” passes a clean audit by the end of the current administration.
“The American taxpayers deserve that,” he continued. “They deserve to know where their $850 billion dollars go, how it’s spent, and make sure it’s spent wisely.”


That's a humongous cart that you don't easily upset.
Though the audit can be completed by DOGE in a few weeks.

Ouch this must hurt . Trump revokes Joe Biden security clearance and daily presidential briefings.
Meaning Joe should not be in possession of anything deened classified. He recently signed up with a Hollyweird talent agency that also represents Obama and has brought him millions.
Any book or movie from this agency will have to be vetted.

This Trump supporter farmer came online to ask for help because he’s about to lose his farm. Ask him how he was able to get assistance for his farm? It was Biden’s inflation reduction act.

Ask him who he voted for? The person who took it away from him. He was okay voting for it when he thought it would only affect others not him.

This was literally in project 2025. They REFUSED to listen to any POV that didn’t confirm their biases. Even when the information was right in front of them.

Like many international development organisations, BBC Media Action has been affected by the temporary pause in US government funding, which amounts to about 8% of our income in 2023-24. We’re doing everything we can to minimise the impact on our partners and the people we serve.

As the BBC’s international charity, we are completely separate from BBC News, and wholly reliant on our donors and supporters to carry out our work.

In a masterpiece of reporting, Dan Alexander systemically demonstrates how Eric Trump, at the direction of his father, the future president, shifted money that was supposed to go to help kids with cancer to the Trump Organization. Following this story, New York’s attorney general announced an investigation, and Alexander’s work won a Deadline Club award for best business feature.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a US government agency that protects consumers from unfair treatment by financial institutions. The CFPB was created in response to the 2008 financial crisis.

Since its creation in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the bureau has returned more than $17 billion to consumers it determined had been wronged by financial firms.

Whether Facebook and Instagram owner Meta misused financial data obtained from third parties has come under the microscope of the CFPB.

The agency also proposed new rules to oversee digital payment platforms, which would include Apple Pay and Google Pay. Musk's X is working with Visa to launch its own "X Money" payment system, according to the company, which would place the platform's financial services under the CFPB's oversight.
So we’re all intentionally blind to Elon specifically targeting agencies that investigate his businesses for wrong doing or agencies that would potentially be responsible for having oversight over his business dealings?

All good I guess.
