What else could they possibly do with their wheat?
It’s hard to defend sending billions of dollars in unaccountable fashion to Afghanistan, Yemen, Gaza and Somalia.
While USAID is unable to function in Iran, between Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, over $8 billion was sent to Iranian puppet regimes even without counting the money spent on Gaza.
In total, USAID had spent some $18.5 billion on Islamic terror states over those 5 years.
USAID has sent $9.3 billion to Islamic terror states collectively responsible for killing over 3,000 American soldiers
What’s the counterargument to that?
FARMERS RUINED
“USAID oversees projects such as food aid, disaster relief and health programs in over 100 countries with a staff of more than 10,000 and a budget of around $40 billion. Billions of those dollars flowed back into the American economy.
Takeaway: Call your MAGA rep to demand they stop billionaires from destroying farmers to give themselves more tax cuts.
Now U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo. That includes American farms, which supply about 41 percent of the food aid that the agency, working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, sends around the world each year, according to a 2021 report by the Congressional Research Service. In 2020, the U.S. government bought $2.1 billion in food aid from American farmers.
What will farmers do unless taxpayers pay for USAID to buy their wheat to send it to Somalia?
Maybe they’ll buy the wheat themselves. Or have people in other countries buy it. Wheat, rice and other crops actually are in demand. And if the government has to buy it, then it can use that to lower the price of bread here.
Worse still that 41% statistic admits that most of the USAID’s food isn’t even bought from America. It suggests we’re paying other countries to buy food to send to other countries.
Troybeam says
No, by keeping all of the wheat produced here in America means there will be no BUG Protein added to flour, bread etc. Companies are already adding bug protein into bread, cake mixes or where they can. Keep bugs in animal feed not human food.
JMGB says
I just hope that USAID not only gets shut down, but heads roll! People who have signed off on all this waste should be held accountable, their personal fortunes confiscated and tax payers refunded!
Rob Porter says
I agree, heads need to roll – and say that is pitiful that U.S. authorities don’t summarily deport the Islamic extremist, Ilhan Omar, back to Somalia. If she is so in love with the Islamic stink-hole, Somalia, send her back. The U.S. has many Muslim enemies operating in its midst, some in Congress, yet they don’t get booted out. Why? Wherever they go in numbers they create dissent and neither assimilate nor integrate. Wake up America!
Keys says
Maybe Attorney General Bondi has a case to bring her to justice for how she lied to come to America. Make her an example that even a member of the US Congress, who came here fraudulently, can be quickly deported – deported to Somalia.
Rob Porter says
Keys, I agree. America is far too lenient regarding who enters the U.S. I dearly wish I could get it into the head of Americans that as with communist whose first allegiance is to Marxism and not to America, the first allegiance of Muslims is to Islam, not the U.S., and to Islam’s goal of dominance.
Islam’s1,400 history is a terrible history of cruelty and hatred. They didn’t just enslave about 28 million black Africans, they also enslaved more than a million white East Europeans and enslaved thousands of Spanish and Portuguese who were sent to North Africa.
I am nauseated when listening to and reading the half-witted views of white Westerners who condemn the Crusades and Crusaders. Those people made huge sacrifices when saving Western Europe from Islamic invasion and then driving the Ottoman Muslims out of Eastern Europe and the Muslims out of Portugal and Spain. The big mistake they Crusaders made was leaving any Muslims living in the Balkans. Of course Bill Clinton through gross stupidity and ignorance then handed over Kosovo to the Muslim Albanians.

A year ago, FL Gov Ron DeSantis was calling for her to be deported.
That demand is back as other politicians are calling for the same thing.

The liars just keep on lying. They lie about this, they demand that farmers only plant a certain number of acres, only grow certain crops, etc.
and furthermore we can know they are lying easily enough. For instance, at one time, the retired did not pay taxes on the money given back to them via Social Security. (taxes on that money had already been paid when it was earned) Then, one day, they decided that the retired should pay taxes on that money a second time…file an irs claim to the money and pay again *returning* the money to the government…for a second time.
Mr. Trump has said he is going to cut out that tax on social security. So, the dems are lying and saying, “he’s going to **cut** Social Security.
Mr Trump has said he’s going to cut out the tax on tips and overtime pay. And they are screaming about that, saying that customers won’t leave tips if they won’t be taxed.
Liars. The farmers can sell to the public if they are not having to meet the demands of the government.
I don’t recall in any history book I ever read where Americans were saying they wanted to support the world; nor did I ever read where the Founders wrote that the “new nation, brought forth in liberty,” would have to take care of all of the people of the world.
And if the money goes out and then supposedly comes back, it doesn’t need to go out in the first place.
and if it’s coming back, it’s not going to the people who need or deserve it.
Lies. so many lies.

None of those Oslamic nations should get a penny from the U.S.! Look at the damage they’ve done to our nation already, between Obama and Biden.
And I’m unsure if what you meant was that the U.S. isn’t sending aid to Iran, Afghanistan, and Gaza, but I know that we’ve been sending aid to all but Iran and Afghanistan (but that’s a recent development). So YES, we’ve been sending aid to Yemen while they attack US ships.
I found the site USAID gov about a year ago. I attempted to contact anyone that would listen, yet no one did. But here’s ANOTHER aid site that must be looked into. They may be worse than USAID. They are
ForeignAssistance. gov. Both of these sites show a connection, and it’s an Islamic one. It’s a HUGE cabal and running from our nation, all because Biden ( or his Islamic handlers and possibly Obamas 3rd term) has brought so many new Islamists into the US. What could go wrong?

Islam exists on the rest of earth’s money. Muslims think they are superior, the rest of population pays to keep them appeased. Always crying of unfair treatment blah blah blah. I’m tired of it! Tired of seeing homeless Americans not being taken care of. Tired of our money going to our enemy. Tired of politicians betraying us and not charged with treason.

Islam is a terroristic, totalitarian system of deceit, discrimination, and violence against Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran.
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL RELIGION UNDER WESTERN LAWS because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 2:216; 4:95; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,29,41,49, 21:921; 88,111,123;21:92; 49:15 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of Intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran.
The FRUIT of Islam is incessant WAR, terrorism, discrimination, slavery, malice, ISLAMIZATION, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, its Courts, and its Schools. Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims. Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 98:6-7; 9:29 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 3:22,151; 69:30-32; 98:6.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous, Muslim war against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).

I wonder what percentage of USAID is actually food aid, as opposed to teaching other countries the latest & greatest LGBTQIA2SMAP+ trends?
I’m fine w/ firing everyone in the agency, and then telling Congress to abolish it

Robert, I’m only going to guess that Somalia does not pay for the wheat but that it is paid for by the American taxpayer. Secondly, most of the World is under the age 30! You don’t remember last time around with food aid to Somalia. Upon delivery it was the law of the jungle. It was stolen by the warlords and eventually trickled down to people in street, maybe. This is when we sent troops and lost good men in “Blackhawk down”. We have Americans who go to bed hungry in the US! $2-3B would aid them immeasurably!
Ilhan has made statements of loyalty to Somalia not the USA.

“House Republican fundraises with petition to “arrest and deport” Ilhan Omar”
“Driving the news: In a fundraising email titled “Petition: Deport Ilhan Omar,” Rrep. Brandon Gill’s (R-Texas) campaign wrote that “we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”
“And frankly, America would be a much better place if she were to be sent back to Somalia,” the email continues, according to a copy obtained by Axios.
“The time has come to arrest and deport Ilhan Omar,” it says, “sign my petition and let’s send her back to Somalia where she belongs.”
Zoom out: Gill homed in last week on a video of Omar advising Somalis in her district that they are “not obligated” to answer questions from ICE and urging them to “learn the laws and prepare yourself.”
Gill’s fundraising email on Tuesday accused Omar of “facilitating a full-scale invasion of our country,” adding, “A normal society would refer to that as treason…”
A spokesperson for Gill did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”
