The start of DOGE's deep dive into a review of federal agencies has caused quite the kerfuffle, particularly DOGE's examination into all the bad things that have been going on with USAID.[Snip] Kennedy said he wasn't saying that everything USAID did was bad but that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has now taken over as the acting USAID administrator, was going to separate out the good from the bad. He also observed that Democrats want to attack Musk and the process, they don't want to talk about all the bad things that he's been finding. Elon Musk responded to the above video by saying "Thanks" to Kennedy.

Not all older Americans are FJB in disguise. Now this guy really is sharp as a tack. This John Kennedy is a national treasure and a symbol of common sense thinking. Just like most of us. So far the Dems/sexually confused/kickback recipients are squealing but haven’t defended what they spent the money on. Waiting for one of them to explain to me why I should not be concerned. They are not sorry they did it they are sorry they got caught. I am wondering how much was kicked back to The Big Guy and all the assorted Little Guys. This is mafia type money laundering. Keep digging.

I love Senator Kennedy and wish he represented my state. He always speaks common sense and is down to earth. Often wonder the unspeakable as to what he and James Carville think of each other.

At the end of the video Kennedy says "Many of my colleagues are upset with Mr. Musk, hell, I think we ought to give him a medal."
I agree. USAID needs to END, permanently. And here we are Rubio is defending "the good parts" of USAID. I have not trusted Rubio in decades, and here he is, defending USAID....."the good parts". No thanks.

Based upon what has been uncovered so far, you would have to be a complete Idiot not to suspect that there have not been huge covert political “kickbacks” including so-called contributions to leftist and progressive Democrat political campaigns resulting from those huge USAID payouts that do not help the USA one bit when in comes to foreign affairs. Those “kickbacks” probably are shunted through foreign bank accounts and make their way back to the political supporters of those huge covert payouts to foreign people and entities. No doubt that when the clearly cognitively declined Biden was in the White House the leftist and progressive Democrats moved in for the kill using all those USAID payouts as a genesis to push their radical political agenda across the Third World.

Does anyone remember the Congressional Post Office scandal from thirty years ago? Rostenkowski (can’t remember his first name) got taken down over it, others probably should have.
This seems like the same thing plus a few orders of magnitude. Trust these suckers with nothing.

The entire commentary by Senator Kennedy can be accessed at the link provided below. At the 28:24 mark, Senator Kennedy departs from USAID to call attention to an issue confronting the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Kier Starmer brought on by the United Nations that has an impact on this country regarding the joint UK-US military base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The matter has to do with the Republic of Mauritius and “transfer of sovereignty of the islands, while allowing the military base to remain under a 99-year lease, pending treaty ratification.” The lease for 99 years would cost $99,000,000. Senator Kennedy is pleading for Prime Minister Starmer to not do this. Diego Garcia is a vital asset in terms of being 4,293 miles from Beijing, China. If interested:

A Democrat whistleblower, who worked with USAID, said about 10% of the money went to help people who needed help. He called them on it and was fired. If they can get rid of the other 90%, go for it and help just the 10%. Going after USAID might just scare the rest of the fraud and abusers enough to stop what they've been doing for years.

DNC likely gets kickbacks from USAID recipients, hence the outrage by Dems.

If you don’t listen to any other video today, listen to Senator Kennedy say exactly what Trump and Musk are doing, and that the Democrats are completely overlooking it by focusing on process. Excellent commentary!
