| Rubio Exposes Leftist Agenda and Corruption of USAID Programs |

| [PJ] There's a story going around in the mainstream media today about how eight cholera patients, including five children, in South Sudan died walking to get treatment last month. The United Kingdom-based charity Save the Children blames the cutting of USAID funding, though a spokesperson mentions that European countries have also cut funding. (The MSM headlines don't mention that, of course). It's absolutely heartbreaking that people are dying from a treatable disease and I wish that wasn't so, but the MSM's attempts at blaming the Donald Trump administration are ridiculous, and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. It's the same BS they do with illegal immigration — making it seem like Trump is only deporting grandmothers and nurses rather than some of the most violent and deranged people on the planet. The truth is that the blame doesn't lie with Trump. It lies with everyone who led our country before him. It lies with corrupt government officials, diplomats with agendas, and the many disingenuous nonprofits around the world. It lies with, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio often puts it, the "federal aid industrial complex." And it's time to stop using United States tax dollars as an ATM to line everyone else's pockets. Reuters reports that a State Department "spokesperson said many U.S. government programs remained active but medical sources had also been used to enrich the country's leaders." Reuters also reported that "South Sudan's government has acknowledged a significant amount of public corruption." (And I'm not giving Reuters any credit here because it buried all of this under the headline "South Sudan cholera patients died walking to clinic after US cut aid, charity says." ) Rubio appeared on Donald Trump, Jr.'s podcast "Triggered with Don Jr." on Tuesday evening, and the two men dove into this important topic of foreign aid and the changes we'll see going forward. Rubio pointed out that the U.S. is no longer the world's cash cow. We're still willing to help, but we're taking care of ourselves first. Every dollar we spend on foreign aid from here forward must "make America stronger, it has to make America more prosperous, or it has to make America safer." |
