Americans are struggling to pay for gas, buy bread and meat, but the progressive regime always has money to burn on its political causes.
President Biden will request $2.6 billion for foreign assistance programs that promote general equality worldwide, he announced on International Women’s Day on Tuesday.
How about promoting the ability of Americans to work, eat, drive, and be able to pay their bills?
“Ensuring that every woman and girl has that chance isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s also a strategic imperative that advances the prosperity, stability, and security of our nation and the world,” Biden falsely claimed.
No, moving money to assorted leftist international groups is not a strategic imperative for America, just for the Left.
It has nothing to do with our “prosperity, stability, and security”.
If Biden wants to aid our “prosperity, stability, and security,” he can start by stopping the spending machine so that inflation doesn’t eat Americans alive.
And if he wants to help women, he can stop smelling their hair, groping them, and sexually assaulting them.

He can help me by giving me an electric car to replace the one I have that runs on gasoline. I’m open to an even trade – in the name of equity and fairness for all, and because of all the women who would love me for having an electric car.

In the meantime, quite a number of major countries, like Russia, China, Iran, India and a few others – are moving off the US dollar as a reserve currency. I can’t wait for the day when the dollar stops being the world’s reserve currency, so that the ability of our overlords to budget debts in the trillions simply ends, and they have to pay up or default. That’s the only thing that will fix this, since we’ll never have enough Rand Paul like senators or congresspeople who actually care about this issue to do something about it

Ensuring that every woman and girl has that chance isn’t just the right thing to do? Chance to do what? Excel in her chosen sport safe from cheating little rhymes-with-sticks who pretend to be women so that gullible leftards will let them compete? Plan her life around something about which she is passionate but have to give it up because of mentally ill liars on one hand and those who believe her body belongs to everyone but her on the other?
If he wants to help women he can tell the mullahs in Iran and the high and mighty princes of the House of Saud to stop treating women like dirt, but since he couldn’t manage that in Afghanistan what success would he have with them even if he was so inclined?
About the last person on earth — away from those states governed by the slaves of Allah at any rate — to be effective in any way, shape or form at helping girls and women negotiate that minefield is Hair-Sniffin’-Senile Joe, proud father of Ho’House Hunter!
CogitoErgoSum says
Amen.
Infidel says
Keep in mind that this is about gender equality outside the US. Not even one for within. Maybe we could send millions to Pakistan or Afghanistan to help translate literary works like ‘Gender Queer’ into Urdu or Pashto, and then smuggle it into their madrassas. Even that would be a step up for their education
Westman says
Biden could buy 52,000 Tesla EVs for poor single US mothers with that $2.6 Billion yet it’s more important to get the PR while most of the money will go into corrupt foreign pockets. “Our administrative costs were soooo high!”
That $2.6 Billion could be a $5,000 incentive rebate on 520,000 Tesla EVs for low income families.
That $2.6 Billion could lower the price by $1 for 2,600,000,000 gallons of gasoline.

Yes, Biden thinks he can fight inflation by giving people more money and that prices increase because the people who sell things are greedy. His entire administration has less than half a brain to use among them.
gravenimage says
Grimly true. Inflation is skyrocketing now–and this had not been a serious issue since the end of the Carter administration.

“gender equality.” How many “genders” does this support for “equality”? There are only two, but to hear the news people tell it, to hear pelosi and biden talk about it and say all under their control must use the “preferred pronoun” and not call a he a he unless he wants to be called a he; and not using words such as “father, mother, brother, sister, woman, man,” in the halls of government, seems to indicate the idiot believes there are a whole heck-of-a-lot of “genders to make equal.”
On “women’s day,” they always come up with something that takes away from the female side of things, while at the same time, denigrating White males and the fact that males and females have much in common, but so many differences, it is impossible to make everything “equal” the way they want it to be…with only the pets of their projects getting any benefits.
Infidel says
There are 50+ genders in Facebook, which is what makes this task more uphill than it used to be. And yeah, there’s the ‘preferred pronouns’, which is actually lame if one considers that in other languages, genders might apply to parts of speech other than pronouns, such as verbs, adjectives and so on (referring here to Hindi for my example)
Also, like Mark Steyn once said, if I’m talking to you, than all I address that person as is ‘you’. That person may be any of those 50+ genders, but if ‘it’ is being addressed by me, ‘it’ will only be addressed as you, since in English, genders apply only to third person references. Maybe they can re-architect English to come up w/ 50 different alternatives for ‘I’ and another 50 different alternatives for ‘You’. Maybe send them to Ukraine on this project, so that they can do all that and at the same time, swap places w/ fleeing Ukrainians ?

An old joke: The guys were on the firing range all ready with their rifles aimed and the sergeant yells, “Fire at will.”
Suddenly, one young man jumps up and runs from the range. The sergeant asks, “Who is that”?
One of the guys answers, “That’s Will, sir.”
A saying when I was growing up, “Call me anything you want to, just don’t call me late to dinner.”
Spanish also has genders…he and she…for inanimate objects. Endings in a and o indicate which gender applies. Still only two.
Infidel says
In college, I had German as a language for 2 years (although I don’t remember much). There, I learned that ‘the’ has 3 translations in German, depending on the gender of the object in question – der (masculine), die (feminine) and das (neuter). One of the funniest things to me at the time was that ‘madchen’ – which translates to ‘maiden’, was the term used for any unmarried woman, but the article used for ‘madchen’ was ‘das’ – the neuter gender, rather than ‘die’, the feminine one. I wonder whether in this era of gender pioneering, the Germans have fixed that ?

I remember being a bit surprised by this when first studying German as well.

Let’s face it. Cut to the quick and all that. America right now has an utter fool as POTUS (and a bogus POTUS at that since the 2020 election, I am convinced with 99% certainty, was stolen from Trump).
Biden has been wrong on almost every foreign policy and domestic issue throughout his pathetic 50 year career in the American political system. He is the classic political hack, the egregious professional politician, par excellence.
Per foreign policy, as an example, Biden attempted to thwart Reagan respecting President Reagan’s initiative on defense, SDI, and Reagan’s declining to economically bail out a failing Soviet Union. As an example of domestic policy failure, even though Biden claims to be for the common man (a nauseatingly repeated lie by Biden), he nonetheless voted to first tax Social Security recipients in the 1980s at 50% and then in the 1990s at 85% of what they receive. And now his idiotic economic measures, tied into the giant lie which is green environmentalism, is helping to cause horrible inflation and which inflation most hurts those who are further down the economic line. Yes indeed, what a hack and phony Biden is.
Biden is disgusting. He is also a doofus. He is as well a liar, a creep, mean as Hell behind the scenes, and a monumental fool overall. And this is why those who actually (emphasis here on “actually”) voted for Biden should themselves be held in contempt minus a full and unambiguous apology for doing so. After all, if America didn’t have a huge collection of fools, Biden would be out of a job right now and that would be a beautiful and noble thing, damn beneficial to America and to the world at large as well—no doubt.

With Americans Unable to Buy Gas, Biden Wants to Spend $2,000,000,000 on Global Gender Equality

This will never work in the Muslim world–gender equality is un-Islamic.
Meanwhile, a gallon of gas is up over $5 in most places in the San Francisco Bay Area.

And all those 50 genders would be ‘bida’, and we all know what islam thinks of that!

Old Joe appears to be more aware of gender inequalities around the world than the wee girls playing Sports in America today.
He tells the World to respect women while allowing, and cheering on, men playing in female Sports events.
Does he have any idea of whats he is saying or doing… Dont answer that, its not a trick question…
OLD GUY says
Old sneaky Joe has found away for the Biden’s to rake money off the top somehow. Giving millions or billions away to foreign governments or organizations make the money almost on traceable. Who knows who will benefit from his plan. But I’ll bet it won’t be the women. American’s can’t and should not be wasting money on gender equality it won’t ever happen. Women will always think and know they are superior to men. But if Joe will send me a couple hundred grand I’ll work on convincing my wife that I’am equal to her.
