re: USAID food for nearly 30,000 hungry kids to be destroyed

Sounds easy enough, but did you account for the black hole that is DC? Come on, sprinkle some more money on it.

These were really popular back in the late 80s. $30 apiece but dance for 8 hours straight. I'm a little skeptical about giving them to children though.

They tended to make you chain smoke cigarettes too. Not sure that’s age appropriate.

Teach them to fish.

Yep it the United States job to feed foreigners with US Citizen tax dollars….

I was on an Army helicopter crew in Afghanistan in 2002. One day we had a mission to deliver massive bags of rice to villagers. For this kind of mission we usually had at least one SF guy with us. As we approach the LZ there are a bunch of women and children waiting but along the outside was a group of gun trucks with local warlord guys. SF guy already told us the warlord dudes would there so we just stared them down and then us. We push out rice, women and children start filling bags, we lift off, gun trucks come pulling in scaring off women and children and grabbing all bags we just dropped off and the. They start driving away. I asked the SF dude WTF was that and do we need to go back to tell the shitstains to give the food to people. SF dude said “nope” that was all part of the plan. The rice was always meant to go to the warlord who then in turn used it to control the locals. My takeaway as a young idealistic soldier early in the Afghan war is that we aren’t always the good guys. I will never forget that day.

I’ll never understand why we as Americans citizens can’t dictate where our tax money go. I’d rather spend my tax money helping our own citizens in need.

Megyn McCain and her mom Cindy are harping the children need fed!

Cindy McCain has a few foundations and is very wealthy.

Was she using our USAID money to feed starving children worldwide?

Or was she funneling an NGO to teach Victoria Neoconnie Nulandism?

Also after UNICEF: After 50 years. Shouldnt the poorest areas have been farmed with crops and they are shown how to grow wheat make bread...not to starve?

Thank God for Samaritans Purse.

I already do


I wonder how they’re still starving with all the crab legs and Cheetos their parents buy

That food should go to Americans

Straight propaganda. Those types of food rations have a 5 year shelf life
