POLITICAL THREAD

[hmt5000]

I hope everyone realizes that we could post these by the thousands, and it’s just the first of scores of federal agencies.

We have been robbed blind for decades, folks.

1. Gaza Pier Project - A $230 million pier in Gaza that reportedly lasted only 20 days. Posts on X have mocked the short lifespan and effectiveness of this project.
2. Political Ads on MSNBC - USAID spent $495,000 on political advertisements on MSNBC, which was criticized for being a misuse of taxpayer money for political purposes.
3. Oversized Internet Routers - An expenditure of $24 million on oversized internet routers intended for tiny rural libraries, seen as an example of poor resource allocation.
4. Afghan Farm Aid - Around $300 million in aid meant for Afghan farmers ended up in Pakistan's markets, according to posts on X, indicating a failure in oversight.
5. Iraq Community Stabilization - $644 million was allocated for Iraq's community stabilization, but the effectiveness and transparency of these funds have been questioned.
6. DEI in Serbia - Funding of $1.5 million to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Serbia's workplaces, which has stirred controversy among some critics who view it as promoting ideological agendas over direct aid.
7. Transgender Opera in Colombia - A $47,000 grant for a transgender opera in Colombia, which has been seen by some as an unnecessary use of funds for cultural rather than humanitarian aid.
8. DEI Musical in Ireland - Similarly, $70,000 was spent on a musical production focused on DEI in Ireland, raising debates about the relevance of such spending.
9. Funding to Wuhan Institute of Virology - USAID grants amounting to $38 million were linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has been a point of contention, especially with theories about the origins of COVID-19.
10. Serbian NGO 'Grupa Izadji' - This group received funding to advance DEI in Serbia, but the effectiveness and necessity of such programs have been questioned, especially in terms of economic impact versus cultural or ideological promotion.

I find it rather ridiculous that Trump wants to force other countries to take on Palestinians and potential terrorists when it’s clear we don’t want illegal immigration in our own country. I don’t see why he wants to force other countries to take people that they aren’t comfortable taking, and I don’t know why the US feels the need to constantly meddle with the Middle East.

Let him cook. You notice all that worrying about tariff war was unwarranted because they caved...? Nobody wants to get back into war over there so let negotiations run their course.

The Democrat party may be finished. That’s not hyperbole.

I hope so. But never underestimate how powerful evil is. We know they will literally do anything to get it back.

Afrocentrists are some of the most insane and idiotic people in the world. They invented everything in their heads. They were everything and everywhere all at once until evil yt people stole it or now, “ate them.” 😂

Some of the comments are the best.

“White people were eating their kids and having sex with animals until we showed them how to hunt and bath.” 😂😂😂😂

Imagine hating someone so much that you have to completely fabricate history.

 

[hmt5000]

Do you think ANY country in that immediate vicinity (the ones he just tasked with taking in their brethren) are interested in a US presence, either militarily or commercially (which will mean military protection), in Gaza?

FCK.NO!

This is his way of getting them to volunteer to coerce or force Gaza to get in line and stop btching, take care of themselves, and stop being terrorists and terror minded. They don't want to take them in. They're tired of funding them. It's just the ideology that's driving it. Let it hit them in the pocket books or make them feel like they need a baby sitter or make them feel like they're costing themselves money or position. It's a smart move.

Yep. It's leverage. Egypt and Lebanon help hezbollah too much. They feel like its protection money. We can't keep doing the same thing. Arab states need to cut Gaza off completely and tell them to get with the current century.

1. No doubt they’re super smart hackers. Never claimed to be smarter than them.

2. Not against exposing waste. Go for it but there’s ways to do that.l without giving 18 year olds complete access to systems and code that they’re not cleared to do while working for an unofficial agency. You know this too but you’re disingenuous.

3. Elon and his band of hackers can’t end government agencies or stop funding, neither can Trump. That money is appropriated by congress. There are rules. When the hell did it become ok for someone (even your boyfriend trump) to not follow the constitution and the congressional rules.

4. Shocking but I’m not in favor of the free Palestine thing. It’s way more complicated than just a slogan but college kids don’t get that.

Bottom line, there’s way to eliminate waste and that would be great. This isn’t it though and you know it.

The president of the United States of America gave them the authority and he is the CEO over all executive level agencies.... so they are cleared to do it. Also, if we caught $2B allocated to be burned in a fire just to heat a village in Africa for a day... do you think it can stopped or if it's allocated we have to burn it? Serious question. I feel like you're dumb enough to think bureaucrats run our country and we just fund them what they want.

It’s incredible how much you guys would cheer on America being weaker with the CIA potentially losing so many good people. All because big baby got his feelings hurt over an election.

• Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961) - This is often cited as one of the CIA's most significant operational failures. The intent was to overthrow Fidel Castro's government in Cuba by supporting a brigade of Cuban exiles. The operation was poorly planned, lacked proper air support, and was based on overly optimistic assumptions about local support. The invasion failed spectacularly, leading to a major embarrassment for the U.S. and the Kennedy administration.
• The Iranian Coup of 1953 - While initially seen as a success, the long-term consequences of Operation Ajax, which overthrew the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and reinstalled Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as the Shah of Iran, are considered a strategic failure. It led to decades of anti-American sentiment, contributing to the 1979 Iranian Revolution and ongoing tensions between Iran and the U.S.
• Iraq WMD Intelligence (2002-2003) - The CIA's intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) was pivotal in justifying the 2003 invasion of Iraq. However, the intelligence turned out to be flawed or exaggerated, leading to a war predicated on inaccurate information. This failure not only resulted in significant geopolitical consequences but also damaged the CIA's credibility.
• 9/11 Intelligence Failures - Despite warnings and signs of an impending terrorist attack, the CIA, along with other intelligence agencies, failed to prevent the September 11 attacks. There were issues with information sharing between agencies, underestimation of the threat from Al-Qaeda, and not connecting the dots from available intelligence.
• Vault 7 Data Breach (2017) - This was one of the largest data breaches in CIA history, where WikiLeaks published details of the CIA's hacking tools. The exposure of the Center for Cyber Intelligence's (CCI) capabilities was due to internal security lapses, which highlighted significant shortcomings in protecting sensitive information. This incident was a failure in terms of cybersecurity and operational security.

Yea... the cia is really on top of things. Read into Col Tony Schaeffer.... He was leading a team following 911 terrorist and the doj and cia told him to not arrest them or intervene.

I'd be shocked if USAID isn't behind the current court case in Romania that is keeping the winner out of office because he's pro peace.

We don't even have a healthy point guard. It's killing the team right now. Hopefully Butler isn't out long.

I still can't believe people still don't understand Trump. This is yet again another negotiation ploy. It's to make some sort of deal for the Palestinians to go to another country.

He literally wrote a book "Art of the deal". Pretty much every move he makes is to try to make a deal.

This is great. Trump has the most honest reactions.

It's amazing that the lefts insanity is this predictable that early in the day someone can call it, then you see it on this board, like above. Before long the sam's will be on here saying "waterboarding is good, actually"





Not surprising sam is all on board supporting the cia now...something the left used to distrust. Amazing

I know what the debt snowball is but cutting pennies or dollars isn't going to do squat. People usually owe dollar amounts much larger than that and DR would advocate cutting those $100 debts before your 4 figure and 5 figure debts.

The debts that Elon is cutting currently, the ones I pointed out are akin to us cutting a few dollars or even a few quarters, it's essentially nothing.

Ya'll take about being efficient but cutting such small amounts first and acting like that's a win is the definition of being gaslit. It's gaslighting because in the big picture cutting such a minimal amount, say $100k or $1million when your debt is 36T is nothing.

Nothing is minimal or inconsequential when it comes to spending the money the government steals from us taxpayers. Death by a thousand cuts. There are thousands more of those idiotic, wasteful, irresponsible expenditures, that us taxpayers are unaware of. They add up. We should know where every dollar of our taxes go as Americans because our government is of, by and for the American People. They work for us, not the other way around. All of these expenditures fell under USAID and that overall liberal grift fund amounted to 43 BILLION! That’s not inconsequential.

Which team are you on @azurricat2010?

 

[trueblujr2]

Forgot we were playing. Went to look on espn after I saw this. Wooooow!

This is four losses in five games. We still have nine games to go which include three top five teams and we are already at seven losses.

Not having a point guard and our defensive stopper has derailed this season. Shows how valuable Butler has been for us.

 

[trueblujr2]

It’s bad, but we’re also missing our PG and backup. Going back to the first season I can remember, 97, it just seems like we’re always dealing with the injury bug. I don’t follow other teams as close, but I can’t think of a rival that has dealt with it as much in 25+ years.

I think some of it stems from our opponents generally turning up their aggression levels and when they play us. We are everyone’s Super Bowl, especially on the road, and we have to always play at an extremely high level to counter it. I think having to constantly face that game in and game out leads to those injuries.

Heard that the radio stations that Soros bought...that are Spanish stations, broadcasting in Spanish....are telling people to riot in the streets against Trump and his immigration policy.

Came from Floyd Brown founder of Western Journal.

Good, bring them all out into the streets, then have ICE and the guard surround them and arrest them.

Elon bought X for $44 billion and lefties argue he overpaid and destroyed the value of the business.

Meanwhile, that purchase allowed him to change the course of history.

I don’t care if it’s just $1 going to these CIA front establishment causes. Shut it down. It doesn’t take much to influence things.

 

[Bill Cosby]

Obviously don’t need the US to colonize Gaza. TBD if this is just a negotiating ploy to get other countries to take refugees and get on board with a solution like the tariff threats were.

@TheFrontRunner , @augustaky1 , @screwduke1 ...

Me, Augy, and Front got an invite to visit the Screw. He gave us the street name and told us to look for the yellow vette in the drive. We got to the street but never did see this "vette", however on our last pass down the road Screw was standing in the driveway. I told him I never seen a yellow vette, he said sure and pointed at this. He said I never meant CORvette, I have a CHEvette. We just shook our head..

I think sometimes I'm in the revenge of the nerd's movie, Front tools around in a pacer, Screw in his vette, and Augy in that lost in space mobile. I'm not complaining because they are my ride to the taco bell!
