The USAID money train to Gaza is still running.
The disastrous Hamas deal negotiated by Biden and Steven Witkoff is continuing to exact an ugly price.
And the United States is paying for it. Literally.
The USAID money train to Gaza is still running. So far we’re sending $134 million, but we may well be on the hook for billions.
“The Trump administration recently released $5.3 billion in previously frozen foreign aid, mostly for security and counter-narcotics programs, including $78 million for non-food humanitarian assistance in Gaza, and $56 million for the Red Cross related to the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, according to a list of exemptions reviewed by Reuters that included only limited humanitarian relief.”
Most of the $5 billion appears to involve military aid to allies, but the $134 million to Gaza is a red flag.
Especially because freezing that money was a big initial win for DOGE’s campaign to reform USAID.
Around 8 p.m. on Sunday, a USAID staffer pushed forward $78 million for food and shelter to Palestinians living in Gaza. Two hours later, that staffer and contractors working in over 100 countries were locked out of their email accounts.
As the agency began to crumble under an attack from its own government, staffers worked frantically to send money keeping hospitals and soup kitchens from Gaza to Sudan running, saying that people may die as a result of the chaos. As of Monday afternoon, they were trying to send $305 million to the World Food Program. “We’re blowing through all the normal processes to get this out as quickly as possible,” says one staffer.
USAID was brought under control and yet that $78 million is now going out the door. Why?
The only reason that USAID was able to issue an exemption for the $78 million earmarked for Gaza is because the American government is obligated under the terms of the cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas negotiated in part by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff.
This is another part of the Biden-Witkoff disaster that needs to end now.
We have $134 million going out the window as part of the Biden-Witkoff deal, but the real question is how much more are we obligated for?
Are we funding the ghoulish Red Cross hostage transfer ceremonies?
I repeatedly warned that the Biden-Witkoff deal puts us on the hook. People dismissed it. Now it can’t be dismissed anymore.
We are on the hook and US taxpayer money is continuing to go to Gaza.
That’s why we need to get out of the deal. Now.

Well, that’s money down the crapper

Since when is dealing with war criminals an obligation?
Rob Porter says
This is worse than pathetic. And I thought that Donald Trump had the power and authority to stop this disgusting flow of money to enemies.
These USAID staffers are enemies and criminals, should be charged for aiding the enemy and imprisoned. I don’t care if Palestinians starve, let Muslim countries feed Muslim peoples. And the U.S. is still feeding savages who participated in the October 7 barbarism!
Right now they are laughing at the stupid United States of America that is supposed to be fighting its huge debt. And I thought the Europeans were ‘dumb’!
As to Steve Witkoff, WAKE UP DONALD TRUMP. YOU WERE NOT ELECTED FOR THIS DISGUSTING TRASH. Witkoff is Qatar’s ‘useful idiot’ and they are laughing at the stupid infidels.

So true, and I couldn’t agree more! I’m so sick of the things I’m reading about Trump. Of course, I knew he was going to do horrible things again, but what I’m waiting for, is what God is going to use this sinner for.
Within these four years, he’s going to pick up that peace document, that he took over to the Middle East and got a few signatures of a few leaders over there, who signed this document saying they wanted to have peace with Israel.
What should have been a sign with many Christians around the world, was what that document was named. Trump is, and has never been a Christian, so out of the millions of names he could have named this “peace document”, he named it with an important name from the bible. What were the odds? If you know the name of this “peace document”, then you’ve been paying attention more than the majority of people on this earth.
Other than his his name be short for “trumpet”, which a good number are blown during the 7 year Tribulation, or just read about them in the last book of the bible, Revelation, the signs are all there!
If he picks up his peace document, and heads to the Middle East again to get more signatures, this is the time for the world to pick their maker.Why do you think, with so many people who hate him, and have so much anger toward him, and even tried to exterminate him, but through all of what he went through, he still became President. Someone said on a radio show once, that it was a miracle, and I believe them! So during these four years, it’d be wise to pick whether you want hell or heaven, because this be the time. I won’t get into the details, unless you want to know how it all happens. Most people don’t want to know when the dreaded 7 year Tribulation begins. It’s all in the Book of Revelation. Or the “beginning of the end”. I can tell you how it’s all going to happen.
It has to do with Palestine saying NO to peace with Israel, since the day of President Carter. There’s a way that many rich and powerful Middle East leaders are going to make the Palestinian leader say YES to peace with Israel. THEY are the ones that make it happen. Trump will be just the lighting of the torch, and carrying it over there, and passing it over to all these men, and then he’s done, and goes back home, or whereever. And I’ll stop there….again, and if you want to know more, just ask. The 7 year Tribulation has to happen sometime, somehow…..

“…$56 million for the Red Cross related to the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas…”
The Red Cross doesn’t follow donors earmarking of donations, it goes into a general fund and some will be used for entirely different nations and circumstances.

I would *much* rather flush money down the toilet than give it to murderous terrorists. Much less harmful.
Wellington says
Dispositive of how difficult it is to get rid of rot and waste even when one wants to as Trump certainly does (and which has driven the Democrats insane who simply love more and more and more government).
As an example from years ago, though Ronald Reagan campaigned on the matter of shrinking government, a noble and efficient goal, Reagan still was unable to eliminate a single government entity. As Reagan himself said, the closest thing to eternal life on Earth is a government program. Indeed. And made all the worse when the American government in any manner is funding evil, which continues to occur in God-forsaken, wicked and parasitical Islamworld.
JMGB says
NOT ONE MORE CENT! Shutdown USAID once and for all. Make these people accountable. Fire them all. Period! No more American taxpayers money to feed terrorists and vultures. Let Egypt, Jordan, the Saudis, etc., pay for this. They are all brothers and sisters. US money should stay in tte US and help Americans and legal residents where and when needed.
Bob M says
Makes way too much sense for it to actually happen.
No more rationalizing about Trump playing 5 level chess- this is a stupid, bad decision.
somehistory says
Unfortunately, judges have been getting in the way. Several “federal judges” have stopped the EO’s from taking effect. One, maybe more, is a mozlum appointed by biden just before Jan 20 and hurried through by the Senate confirmation.
President Trump has, several times, been accused of defying court orders.
David M says
All the judges blocking it have been shown to be getting millions off the top as well in corruption, mainly going to their families. Republicans have started impeachment procedures for a few of them.
AEsther B says
So Wiitkoff was just like Biden, that gives me no confidence at all. Trump is putting a mouse in this very deadly serious negotiation. How in the world does that happen? Trump’s bad pick habit and he’s blind to it.
Becca R says
I never thought the deal was a good one. Witkoff was beholden to Qatar for financially bailing him out of a bad real estate deal in Manhattan. Whereas I am glad the hostages, some of them, have been returned home somewhat alive, I hated the deal from the get go. I am disappointed in Trump. I thought he was going to be a “Give’em hell Harry.” The deal was as stupid and disastrous for Israel as anything Obama or Biden could have proposed. Is Trump going to talk the talk without doing the walk? Witkoff was a huge mistake. All that money and they will regroup, rearm, and reattack. I am disgusted.
Bob M says
Well said…
Sonia Bloomfield says
You are totally correct, Witkoff is a bad apple.
abu taleb says
The Palestinians will still hate the US after the US sending the money because the amount of money is not enough. The US needs to send more money together with most humiliated attitude because that is what stipulated in Quran, it is called jizyah. And the rest of infidels should do the same too.

Suicidal insanity.

True enough! Just wait till he picks up that peace document he made, and heads to the Middle East. It will soon be the 7 year Tribulation period. Ever read the last book of the bible, Revelation? Might want to start…
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Now that a Federal Judge has upheld DOGE cuts to USAID, Sec Rubio must move to claw back the money. Just like DHS did w/ the payment to NYC for the hotels
Or divert that 134 million to Israel instead of Gaza, tell them that this is how it will be done going forward and that no pressure will be made to bear on Israel to ensure that that money gets to the Gazans aka Hamas. Once this is done, they’ll immediately stop demanding money from US, if they see that the more they ask, the richer Israel gets!
Aside from that, Hamas has already violated the terms of the deal badly enough that Israel should be under no compulsion to pretend that this ceasefire still holds

Excellent ideas, Infidel.
I sure hope that someone from the Trump administration reads this website.

Trump needs to fire Witkoff NOW and put someone AMERICA can trust on the field to get this fixed before one more dollar gets sent. Shut off the spigot NOW … What are going to do? Sue us?
“We’ll see ya in court.”
Trump needs to take some smart pills and stop hiring ‘friends’.

Kevin Kraemer says
What the hell is wrong with these people? Screw them and the “deal” made with the Terrorists. STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY! Rescind the deal, have the hostages released or we will give you the money in bombs being rained down on you.
The idiots in the Senate have no balls to do what is right and quit giving out OUR hard earned momey to TERRORISTS! What a bunch of pansies. All talk and no action is exactly what the muhamadists want and get. Pathetic!
OLD GUY says
I wonder how many muslim groups are lobbying in Washington? Followed by how much money is being distributed by muslim thru these groups or individuals to our politicians campaign funds or bank accounts. Other wise it makes no sense as to why so many support these aid packages to islamic countries.
Let’s check out these lobbyist and see who they really represent.
Sonia Bloomfield says
As far as I recall, Witkoff has received some Qatar money for a hotel deal. Any surprises on why USAID is still sending money to Hamas????

Was the Trump administration locked into this agreement? If not, they never should have sent it. And Witkoff is a fool at best.

I just cant wait until he picks up that peace document he made, and named it with an biblical name, and takes it to the Middle East…oooh it won’t be long then, well if you think 7 years is long that is….
