UN pooled accounts. Pallets of cash. And a covert cash printing operation. Freedom Center Investigates has a new article on how USAID laundered money to the Taliban.

Syria’s jihadist leader calls Trump’s Gaza plan a ‘crime,’ compares it to Trump’s ‘pushing Mexicans out’
What does anyone suppose might happen if those same Mexicans (second largest Catholic country in the world after Brazil) illegally flooded into Syria? They wouldn’t be just sent back by al-Sharaa.

Musk exposes fact that FEMA sent $59,000,000 last week to house illegals in hotels in NYC
As Robert Spencer noted here, FEMA’s response to disaster management has been lacking, at best. Its primary focus was on “equity,” not lives. It also emerged in November that FEMA employees were being told to bypass homes with Trump yard signs. More news now emerges that FEMA money was diverted to house illegals in NYC. […]
Dems Warn Farmers Will Be Ruined Unless Taxpayers Buy Their Wheat and Send It to Somalia
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.
