“Other People’s Money” was once known as a star-studded romantic dramedy in the 90’s. Now that phrase seems to be a motto adopted by disgruntled Democrats and fired feds who are throwing non-stop temper tantrums over President Donald Trump cutting off their taxpayer-sponsored gravy train.
Last Wednesday, I approached the Capitol building in Washington D.C., only to find an underwhelming mob of cranky #NeverTrump Boomers mourning the death of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID.)

The protest was laden with picket signs, stating in large letters: “USAID SAVES LIVES!” But when I asked how taxpayers are saving lives by footing the bill for a $70,000 DEI musical in Ireland and $30,000 for a “transgender” opera in Columbia, the crowd of adult children responded by screaming in my face.

That was before taxpayers found out their dollars reportedly went to a plethora of other “life-saving” projects like “transgender” clinics in India, China’s Wuhan lab and reportedly toward an Al-Qaeda terrorist's college tuition.
But that’s unsurprising given their supporters, whose stomping and shouting is indistinguishable from the tantrums of a campus protester, are the same types demanding we pay for 20 year olds to attend an Ivy League school for free so they can learn how to become Hamas terrorists.
“I thought [USAID] was supposed to be helping…you know, people in different countries in the continent of Africa get fresh water and good food,” One America News Network host Dan Ball asked me during the interview on his show, "Real America."
Like a majority of taxpayers, he too was befuddled over the idea that our own government would fund America’s enemies on our dime.
But those actions perfectly align with the left’s anti-Western ideology, which is why I told OANN I believe they intentionally “funded the very destruction of Western Civilization.”
