Trump blocks staggering foreign aid projects... from $50M in condoms for Gaza and ''trans operas'' in Colombia
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. This Is A Man That Does Not Seem Demented...
's use of U.S. taxpayer money to fund transgender operas in Colombia and transgender comic books in Peru will be totally undone by Trump, a top Republican told DailyMail.com.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-Fla.) has a laundry list of Biden-era State Department programs that are on the chopping block now that Trump is in the White House.

After a bombshell report came out this week unveiling how Biden's State Department doled out $15 million worth of taxpayer funds to buy contraceptives like condoms for the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
, DailyMail.com asked Mast what other eye-popping programs exist.

'So, $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia. That was a real one,' he revealed.

'Let's see, there was a transgender comic book, we're trying to get our hands on the actual comic book, in Peru,' he continued. 'And I heard it's reasonably risqu .'

The Peruvian trans comic book program received $32,000 under former Secretary of State Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...
, according to federal documents.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also announced on Tuesday that Biden's administration almost sent $50 million worth of condoms to Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, which she called 'a preposterous waste of taxpayer money!'

'There was about to be $50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza!' Leavitt shockingly claimed.

The Times of Israel adds:
Andrew Miller, who served as deputy assistant secretary for Israeli-Palestinian affairs under former US president Joe Biden, calls the claim “outlandish.”

“It’s possible that $50 million is put aside for sexual health or something of that nature, which would include gynecology and many other services, but definitely not condoms alone,” he tells The Times of Israel.

The US Agency for International Development’s spending on injectable contraceptives, contraceptive implants, IUDs, male condoms, oral contraceptives, Standard Days Method and female condoms amounted to $60 million in the fiscal year of 2023, and that was across the globe — not just Gaza.

Condoms generally cost less than one dollar each in the United States and much less in bulk. Just over two million people live in Gaza, nearly all of which has been heavily damaged in the 15-month war with Israel.

As long as there is a US CITIZEN living in the street and needing help, why is congress spending, or send money to any other nations?

The fact our country is $35T in debt is because in part of DC Political waste and Stupidity like this.

#6 These are all higher level examples of what Bass did with LA money, laundering it out to friends and allies.

Condoms for Gaza isn't even trying. Probably code for rocket propellant.
