HUNTER: USAID May Be Only Thing Democrats Love More Than Abortion

By Derek Hunter

There’s a better than average chance you’ve never heard of USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, before because you’re a normal person with a life who doesn’t have time to monitor the thousands of agencies the federal government creates to squander tax dollars while subsidizing progressive policies around the world. Once you realize that you begin to see why the Democrats are so upset at the idea of auditing its books and shining a little sunlight on the whole mess.

It's really odd watching Democrats scramble to circle the wagons around a federal agency with a few thousand faceless bureaucrat employees and, relatively speaking, a small budget. You’d think it was the most important agency the government has, one on which their electoral fates hinged.
But no one in this country is voting for anyone based on their position regarding USAID funding or mission because no one before this week could have told you anything about it, and no one beyond next week will remember it. 

Since, however, we don’t live in the past or the future, the now is all about it and Democrats are beside themselves with outrage. Well, it’s fake outrage. Senators and Congressmen dragged staff to the streets to serve as a random crowd of angry Americans to call for war against the Trump administration, which I remember being a bad thing when the president was not named Trump.
All the anger is directed at Elon Musk because Democrats have no answer to him. He is OCD when it comes to waste and inefficiency, and that’s about 85-90 percent of what government is. He’s the man you want on this job…unless you benefit from waste, fraud and abuse.

That’s why Democrats are really so upset. 

USAID spends a lot of money well and in the interest of the United States. It also spends a lot of money recklessly on things related to whatever social agenda the radical left has elevated to being the most important thing ever at any given moment. DEI and Trans issues are top of that list right now, and they’re blowing our money on it. 

To hear dumb people talk about, these are just pennies and not where you should start when trying to root out waste. Well, the government can multitask, or at least we were always told when Barack Obama and Joe Biden took repeated, extended vacations, but also every drop of water in a pool gets you wet, the shallow end isn’t less to blame.

I have to laugh when I see Elizabeth Warren or Chris Murphy or Chuck Schumer screaming about “No one elected Elon Musk to anything!” I guess I missed the USAID elections somewhere long the way…

Of course, no one voted for it or its leaders. Moreover, USAID is a part of the Executive Branch of government, which has exactly two elected members: President and Vice President. No one else in it, from Cabinet Secretary to mailroom clerk, was elected to anything. And the President gets to oversee and steer all aspects of the Executive Branch. 

Given their 30 IQ understanding of our Constitution, I have to assume Democrats skipped that year in civics class.

These people really are a piece of work, or at least a piece of something.

How else to explain an entity like NBC News employing Ginger Goebbels, also known as Jen Psaki, who calls the President doing the job of President as “a hostile takeover of the US government”? 

These people are a special kind of stupid, but the ones who actually know better (and you can decide for yourself which ones those are) are evil. Their rhetoric about this insignificant agency wasting a bunch of money is not designed to inform anyone or win someone to their side, it is designed to outrage and, quite frankly, inspire someone to at least try to kill the President, Musk or someone close to them.

How else do you explain a member of the “Squad” calling Elon a “Nazi-Nepo-Baby”? She did so in front of the entire Democratic Congressional Caucus and not one person said anything negative about it, they just giggled. I don’t know if there’s another word for that than “evil.”

Democrats love abortion and will lie, cheat or steal in order to get as many performed in this country as possible. I never thought I’d find anything they love as much as that. Turns out, it’s USAID. At least this week. In a couple of weeks, when the Trump administration really gets going, it will be the Department of Education. Provided Democrats don’t succeed in inspiring the violence they’re so desperate for first.
