Why USAID is a national security threat.
“It is really, really a sad day in America,” Rep. Ilhan Omar declared at a rally by Democrats outside USAID headquarters protesting President Trump’s reconstruction of the aid agency.
It wasn’t a sad day for America, but it was so for Somalia.
Over the last two years, USAID had funneled $2.3 billion in “humanitarian assistance” to Omar’s native Somalia. Last year it reported a request for $1.6 billion in aid and even with the Biden administration on the way out the door, it sent an additional $29 million in December 2024.
USAID support for Somalia had doubled under the Biden administration and with $3.3 billion from USAID allocated in the last 5 years, the end of the USAID gravy train for the Islamic terrorist state of Somalia must have been a painful blow for Omar, who is very close to the Somali regime. Former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Khaire had reportedly celebrated that “the interest of Ilhan are not Ilhan’s, it’s not the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somalian people and Somalia.”
It’s unknown if any of Omar’s Majerteen clan members benefited from the billions in American money, but considering the prominence of the clan in Somali politics, it’s likely to be the case.
Somalia, along with other Islamic terrorist entities, including the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, were among the top beneficiaries of USAID cash.
USAID boasted of having sent $2.1 billion to Gaza and the West Bank since the Hamas attacks of Oct 7. In 2024 alone, $917 million was programmed for the terrorist areas occupying Israel.
USAID provided over $3.7 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over with $832 million in the previous fiscal year alone. The money was so unaccountable that USAID refused to cooperate with the U.S. Government’s Afghan War watchdog tracking money going to terrorists.
Even while the United States of America was at war with the Houthis, the Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group firing on US Navy vessels, USAID continued to direct billions of dollars to Yemen.
In 2024, USAID announced a $2.7 billion aid request for Yemen and allocated $753 million. In the last 5 years, USAID provided an estimated $3.4 billion in aid to an enemy terror state.
Other Islamic terrorist states that have heavily drawn on USAID include Pakistan which harbored Osama bin Laden, but benefited from $600 million in the last 5 years. While some American towns and cities lacked clean drinking water, USAID labored to build plants for Pakistan’s majority Muslim population even while it engaged in the persecution of Christians.
USAID spent over $700 million on Iraq during the last 5 years even though the country has long since been governed by Iranian puppets whose militias have been firing on American soldiers.
$3.4 billion was directed to Syria over the past 5 years by USAID even as it was caught in a civil war between Shiite Islamists aligned with Iran and Sunni Islamists aligned with Al Qaeda.
USAID allocated $1.1 billion to spend on Lebanon even as the country was run by Hezbollah.
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.
This is not a full list of USAID spending in Muslim countries, but only those countries whose governments are closely interlinked with terrorists, sponsor terrorist groups or serve as puppets of terror groups and states. Some of these countries are actively in a conflict with the U.S. They include countries responsible for the murder of American soldiers and terror attacks in the U.S.
USAID has sent $9.3 billion to Islamic terror states collectively responsible for killing over 3,000 American soldiers. Not only did Islamic terrorist states and groups kill us, but in the ultimate obscenity, we have rewarded them with millions of dollars for each of our murdered soldiers.
The reconstruction of USAID under the full umbrella of the State Department rather than as a ‘super-NGO’ advancing anti-American interests across the globe has been met with outrage by Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Jim McGovern, Sen. Chris Murphy and other longtime shills for Islamic interests in America who worry that the money for Islamic terrorists won’t be there anymore.
But we ought to ask if sending $18 billion to Islamic terror states is helping our national security.
USAID has provided massive amounts of funding for the UN and NGO ‘non-profits’ which operate inside terrorist areas with little to no oversight. Special exemptions have been handed out to allow distributors of ‘humanitarian aid’ to partner with and do business with terrorists.
Including some of the Islamic terrorist groups that America is still at war with.
USAID’s partnerships with foreign governments, and with large unaccountable organizations including the UN and the World Bank, have raised concerns of money laundering. The revolving door between USAID personnel and some of the non-profit and for-profit groups who all profit from it has also raised questions about the legitimacy of those arrangements. And USAID’s active efforts to deny information about its activities to SIGAR, the U.S. government’s Afghan war watchdog, as well as to the incoming Trump administration, makes it a rogue agency.
It may never be fully known how much of our foreign aid went into the pockets of Islamic terrorists, but the USAID freeze and consolidation under the State Department can help make sure that the aid pipeline stops being a way to fund the Islamic terrorists killing Americans.

Rob Porter says
USAID has made of America a bad joke, a country that funds its worst enemies. Stunning! The enemy is within the U.S.
For years Somalia – with U.S. money – has been funding the terrorists of Al-Shabaab who have gone into neighbouring countries like Ethiopia and Kenya where they murdered thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands- even as far south as Mozambique. And now we find out that the U.S. through USAID has been funding Muslim barbarism.
Can we expect repercussions for those who did this, including charges of treason, or, as with Jane Fonda when colluding with and giving moral support to North Vietnam, nothing will happen? Because of USAID funding, thousands of non-Muslims in Africa have died. After invading Mozambique, Al-Shabaab’s Muslim savages decapitated even 10-year olds.
And now we know that the Houthis of Yemen have fired on U.S. ships while funded by the U.S.
The Americans responsible for this should be placed in front of an army fire squad and shot.
Rob Porter says
It truly is stunning, the U.S. through USAID has been funding its worst Islamic enemies who have murdered Americans and non-Muslim Africans in Ethiopia, Kenya, even as far south as Mozambique. In effect the U.S. has been funding the Muslim terrorist group, Al Shabaab, and it is evident that this is supported by Ilhan Omar. In reality she is an enemy of the U.S., so let’s see whether there will be consequences for her.
And now we also know that the U.S. has been funding the Muslim Houthis of Yemen who have fired on U.S. ships.
Surely these are acts of treason. This being the case, those responsible should be put in front of an army firing squad and shot.
Rob Porter says
I have to deduce that Muslims infiltrated the U.S. government Administration – we know they did while Barack Obama was president – and have had a big hand in this treasonous activity.
They need to be rounded up and severely punished.
Billy says
The incompetent, deceitful Democrats of America should NEVER give money and aid to ANY MUSLIMS ORGANIZATION or STATE because of Islam’s terrorism, discrimination, and violence against Non-Muslims.
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(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 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. Fundamentally, Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah.
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).
Western Muslims seek to ensure Islam’s legitimacy against Non-Muslim societies, to impose Islamic Law in Western Legal Systems, and to advance Islam’s totalitarian goals to conquer the West. Consequently, Islam promotes a limitless, terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Deceitful Allah promises Heavenly Paradise to Muslims for acts of Muslim killing in terrorist attacks against Non-Muslims and Muslim hypocrites when Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”
Rob Porter says
This didn’t come from Democrat “incompetence”, it came from calculatedly treasonous activity to aid the Muslim enemy.
tharmon says
I wouldn’t give any OIC country a dime in aid, because they sure won’t help others. The only thing they export is death and destruction.
Rob Porter says
The same applies to Qatar in which Donald Trump places same faith. The sooner he learns to appreciate the deceitfulness of all serious Muslims, those of Qatar too, the better. It supports Hamas, harbours terrorists and funds Islamic terror and mass murder all over,
Hugh Fitzgerald says
Not just USAID money –no money should be transferred from non-Muslim states to Muslim states. Muslims believe that the war between Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb must continue until the triumph of Islam. Let’s not fund those who want to destroy us..
Shutting down all of the programs run by USAID that benefit Muslim states — whether or not those Staes have links to terrorists — is a god start.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Mr. Fitzgerald.
Arlene says
Can we finally say it’s over for them and the money to terrorists? Whoever allocated the money we need to know who was such a fan of this, and who wanted so desperately to support terrorism? Then prosecute for treason.
It’s like a bunch of Marxist sympathizers of Islam got a job at USAID and doled out money to our enemy to hurt us.
Leonidas says
Fortunately
Islam ( submission)will collapse ,like USSR in 1989,if we DENOUNCE pseudo prophet criminal MUHAMMAD,who according to his biography( Sira) and traditions( Hadith) was a pedophile( wife Aisha was 9 yo), rapist, murderer, torturer , bandit (keeping20% of the booty for himself),liar and sex-slave trader, deserving no reverence but our contempt and also LIBERATE THE MUSLIM WOMEN from barbaric misogynistic Sharia Law.The Koran ( recitation)states women are dumb, less intelligent than men,wives must be beaten for disobedience by their hudbands ,all women will go to hell, unless in the last day their husband says he was pleased with her and all women must hide their curves and wear burkas ,so that men will not be aroused to rape them.Islam is a misogynistic ,violent , imperialist political ideology of Muslim supremacy ISLAMOFASCISM(>70%), DISGUISED AS A RELIGION(< 30%) that strives through violent Jihad and soft cultural Jihad of immigration ( dawa, Hijra)to subjugate the World.Jihadists are promised, if killed battling infidels-kafirs,) they will go to Paradise to enjoy 72 virgins ,taking along 70 of their relatives regardless of their sins!Muslim Immigration is Hijra( flight)to take over the country they settle in ,like Muhammad did to Yatrib-Medina.This, along with forced child marriages and four wives per man ( Bin Laden had 52 siblings and 16 children),the muslims will soon outnumber the local populations and will impose Sharia law .Withdraw from UN MIGRANT COMPACT ,that falsely claims immigration is a Human Right expecting Western countries to accept and provide for an endless number of muslim illegal immigrants ,thus islamizing them. Muslim “refugees “should stay in Turkey or vast rich Saudi Arabia ,until they can return to their countries.We must denounce islamic Sharia (=way)law of blasphemer,apostate ,homosexual , adulterer and hypocrite executions,misogyny,honor killings by stoning,hand amputations for theft,child brides,girls exclusion from schools,halal meat from tortured animals,clitorectomies,subjugation and segregation of women,burkas and Sharia banning of short skirts,bikinis,dancing,singing,painting ,sculptures of people,dogs,pork,alcohol and beauty contests .Demand gender equality for ALL muslim women.Punish severely those that kill apostates from Islam,blasphemers,adulterers or muslim hypocrites.Islam is incompatible with our freedom of speech, gender equality, values,way of life, Human Rights, Constitution, Republic and population stability needed to sustain Life on Earth.Tolerating intolerant Islam is cultural suicide!For more info on Islam go to YOU TUBE for: ApostateProphet,Exmuslims,David Wood,Ayan Hirsi Ali,BrigitteGabriel,BillWarner,Politicalislam.org,PamelaGeller,Jihadwatch,Nonie Darwish , Wafa Sultan,Richard Dawkins on Islam,Ani Cyrus , Geert Wilder,obsession – what the West needs to know.Also Google: Wikiislam, The religion of peace,barenakedislam, MEMRI etc.Watch the deposition of Ayan Hirsi Ali in Congress on"how to defeatIslam":https://www.hoover.org/research/challenge-dawa-political-islam-ideology-and-movement-and-how-counter-it

Certainly, the more the truth about Islam is exposed, the better.
JimJFox says
Ayan Hirsi Ali is much mistaken in her analysis which is unnecessarily verbose. Islamist & similar terms are akin to the execrable “Islamophobia” and no less meaningless.
She is obviously still carrying parts of her former brainwashing & must wake up to the basic truth (as recently defined by Erdodan) that “There is no radical Islam, no moderate Islam. Islam is what it is”.
It cannot be reformed since ir is the final word of God and perfect.
JimJFox says
ERDOGAN, sorry for typo.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
You’re right, but I don’t think she’s being needlessly verbose. You have to factor in her audience above, which was the US Congress i.e. a bunch of politicians who just assume, w/ no basis, that islam is no more evil than Christianity, Judaism and others. That’s the only reason I can think of why she uses terms like “islamist” instead of “islamic”
She was FGMed when she was young, so doesn’t have any love lost for islam
gravenimage says
Agreed, Infidel. I have a few differences with Ayaan Hirsi Ali. but she is still a very brave Anti-Jihadist.
Namer says
And why aren’t these traitors and they’ve not in Gitmo? I guess if you are a demoncrat crime pays very well.

Peter WF says
USA debt, most likely to China, (after exporting jobs to China) at work. Madness!

Peter, our being in debt to China is indeed unwise. But our sending aid to Jihad terrorists has nothing to to with US debt to China.
JS says
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT ForeignAssistance (.gov).
I’ve looked at USAID and the ForeignAssistance site last year and was horrified. The Foreign assistance may be worse than USAID and I haven’t found a way to contact anyone about it! Tried all last year with both of these sites – TO NO AVAIL….
So, someone get the word out to Doge, Elon, or president Trump!!! Look at the site yourself if you have any doubts.
somehistory says
Every now and then, we hear of the *national debt*… which is.in the many trillions now. (as if the American public had any control over it)
Seems like a lot of that could have been saved if not for the corrupt in government and their cronies in the many ngo’s.
It’s no wonder pols never want to leave their cushy seats, and now are trembling in their boots as they *warn* us of the evils of Mr. Trump and those helping him root out the corruption.
maxine waters got in the face of the security guard at the building which housed the dept of ed. she was screaming at him, demanding his name, and the large group with her telling him he had no authority to keep them out.
So many of them should be dressed in prison attire, eating whatever in a large hall and cleaning up after themselves.
abu taleb says
Probably some substantial amount never reaches the destination, it goes to the corrupt politicians and their cronies as what Zelenskyy said. That is why Biden and Obama’s administration like to send so much money. If they give money to some friendly countries it is more difficult to hide the corruption, but enemy countries will be more difficult to cooperate in tracking down the money.
gravenimage says
What are yuo saying President Zelesky said?
Whe the money is going to Jihad terror states, there is no right use use for said money.
tgusa says
18 U.S. Code § 2339C – Prohibitions against the financing of terrorism.
The establishment tells us that no one is above the law, except for them. If I gave a dollar to isis they would quickly bury me under Gitmo.
Tom Washburn says
In all fairness, doesn’t this article say that these funds go back five years? That would be under Trump’s administration. Is there any information on the last ten years, for example. Anyone who thinks this is just a Democrat problem is ignorant or not being honest.
Standup Philosopher says
Trump 2.0 is far wiser regarding the rotten, corrupt federal “government”. Remember also that many of the same maggots squealing now participated in the bogus “impeachments” and “lawsuits” to distract IMHO from their activities. The mask is being ripped off now; better late than never. May these deep state maggots, the corrupt NGOs, and their members be relegated to the ash heap of history,

Andrew Blackadder says
Meanwhile men that fought in their immoral Wars sleep on the streets from Sea to Shining Sea every day.
When has a country ever sent Millions of US$ to a country that defeated them, case in point Millions of US$ to Kabul.
Why are US Military protecting other countries from THEIR enemies rather than protecting the Borders of the USA… USA Troops were never on the Southern or Northern International Borders of America until recently when Trump sent 1900 down to the US-Mexico Border but there are US Troops defending International Borders all over the World… WHY ???.
Why are US Troops in Japan, Germany, Italy, UK,Morocco, Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain when surely those countries have the money and power to protect themselves rather than expecting young Americans to stand up and defend them.
Bring them all back home and let the Worlds Nations protect themselves from whoever they fear..
Then take care of Americans starting with the Veterans that are sleeping on the Sidewalks.
Mindy says
The aid pipeline has to be demolished. We are 36 trillion dollars in debt, every dime we send off to foreign nation is a dime we borrowed. Until such time as our debt is paid off not one dime to should be given even if the cause is actually a worthy one. usaid should be utterly demolished.
