    Wow! At the same time Elon gutted USAID, it was INVESTIGATING his Starlink contracts in Ukraine.

    The following statement was released by USAID in May of 2024:

    “The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine. Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.”

    Elon has been falsely and publicly calling the offices of USAID evil and criminal.

    It may explain why Elon took such a liking to Trump early on. Elon may have known that once Trump was in the White House, he would be able to shut down and rip apart any department he wished, especially ones that were investigating him.

    It's all starting to make sense, and the only criminal aspect of this is what Elon and Trump are conspiring to do.

    Furthermore, people around the world are suffering because of the shutdown and the repercussions may be deadly - especially in women and young children.

    An analysis shows that several thousand women and girls are likely to die from various complications during pregnancy and childbirth as a direct result of Trump’s order to freeze aid.

    Research shows that 11.7 million women and girls will be denied access to contraceptive care over the 90-day aid freeze, which the research company predicts 8,340 women and girls would die from complications during pregnancy and childbirth without the help from AID.

    A spokesperson said that in the DRC and Sudan, medical supplies are trapped inside warehouses.

    There are approximately 51,946 American jobs and OVER 100,000 estimated global jobs lost.

    In addition, food supply has been cut across Africa. Thousands of children who rely on school meals have been left without nutrition after food was left to rot.

    If you agree we need a REAL investigation of why USAID was shut down:

    It is an extraordinary and beautiful thing that God, in creation. . . works with the beauty of matter; the reality of things; the discoveries of the senses, all five of them; so that we, in turn, may hear the grass growing; see a face springing to life in love and laughter. . .The offerings of creation. . . our glimpses of truth.

    It is a hallowed site and he should never have been given access since he desecrated it by his actions.

    FG and as well Musk seemed so intent on just flooding all of us with so much that we go into overwhelm, throw up our hands and just give up. I don't think that is actually happening, but what may happen is that some of their junk will make it through. It seems there was some preparation for this since the gates got opened so early on.

    Ultimately, it would seem to me that this may be the ACTUAL make/break moment for the Reps. party. Foolishly just about every year I 'thought' the Reps. party was done, over, finished. But having FG back in his demented state with someone as crazy as Musk shaking everyone down — may be more than anyone can take in the end.

    Some people, like Betrayal spoke of yesterday are getting it, and I have to wonder, how many more like that are there? Also, I do think the people in red states are going to suffer more than we in the blue — and unless they are maga extremists may find enough disenchantment to rebel a bit — hopefully enough. I do think there are people who have been a bit determined to keep their political affiliations, and I understand that, but so hope it shows up a lot more clearly soon that maybe they don't want a whole lot of what is happening now. I think it may be the same people who didn't want the J-6 people freed etc. Same people who are shaking their heads over Gaza right now.

    I think there is a quote about the time when you most want to quit is the very time to hang on because that's the time most likely that the positive change will occur.

    Especially the Reps. Senate voting in all the un-qualified FG picks. None of those voted in feel anything for you people. They are there for FG only who doesn't know or care that you exist. Enjoy the fruits of what you chose which won't be much at all.

    Hope the concern starts soon.

    Goes to prove, any little thing you do is better than doing nothing.
