Biden promises $100 million in aid to crisis-hit Lebanon
[IsraelTimes] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
on Wednesday promised $100 million in additional aid for Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that...
as he pressed the crisis-wracked nation to undergo reforms.

"Today I’m announcing nearly $100 million in new humanitarian assistance," Biden told a UN-backed donor conference for Lebanon led by La Belle France.

"But no amount of outside assistance will ever be enough if Lebanon’s leaders do not commit to do the hard but necessary work of reforming the economy and combating corruption," he said.

"It’s essential. It has to start now," Biden said. "There’s no time to waste. You know it. We are there to help if you do it."

The Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
did not immediately specify where the new funding would go but Biden said it was in addition to $560 million in humanitarian assistance devoted to Lebanon over the past two years.

The Lebanon conference comes one year after a kaboom at the Beirut port killed at least 214 people, the latest trauma for a nation with an economy in free-fall and without a stable government.

Why is DC always funneling $$$$ to other countries?

Is it because part of it finds its way back to DC family members?
(eg. ukraine-russia-china/biden/yoMama/clintons)

Its not because the USA has $$$ to waste? (eg. $28.6T US National Debt)

Imagine what the 2020 foreign aid of $161.2 billion could do, if used correctly in the USA w/o Political pockets involved.

How about a US Constitutional amendment baring $$$ to other countries, unless the US budget is balanced?

After all, those of us here at US ground zero (working/retired stiffs paying taxes) don't have the option of giving out $$$$ we don't have to family and friends w/o going to jail.
