The more we hear moaning, groaning, wailing and gnashing of teeth, the harder the push should be.

Being a resident of a small Eastern European country, I have little doubt that USAID is evil. It's however hard to see how reabsorbing it into State Dept. will fix anything as the latter is not much different. We'll still get color revolutions but now they'll probably be gayer.

I'm hoping that's not the case. If it is, then you're right, we've just traded one set of tyrants for another. I have a wait and see attitude. Trump has often said that countries should be proud of their own cultures. They should want to make Russia and France and Latvia and England...great again...he seems to be a man of his word...so for now, I'll take him at his word until I see otherwise.

I checked again, and the story of USAID being "reabsorbed" is based on third-party claims: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/musk-doge-cuts-usaid-ball-worms-no-apple-must-get-rid-whole-thing

So indeed, let's wait and see.

el gato malo is way out my league! But thanks, Dave! I don't plan to do subscriptions...I prefer not having the pressure of feeling like I have to put out content. As it is now...I just post when I want to....which of late is quite a bit...but that may change...you know how life is.

It's easy to set up a "Buy Me A Coffee" link, you just need to set up a Stripe account. I'd hit that.

I’ve been saying we’ve been in a bloodless civil war since 2016, but most people just don’t realize it.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize it until 2020.

Senator Ed Markey is inviting “millions” to descend on Washington to save American institutions like the Clinton Foundation from the brutality of Trump’s fascistic vendetta.

Bonus: You can enter the Capitol Bldg., wreck shit and get off without having to serve the rest of your life in prison.

He’ll be lucky to get a shuttle van of retirees from Pottersville PA to show up.
