(Two of these “grants” were invented by your editor. Can you guess which ones? Answers below, toward the end.)
- $2.3 million for “gender fluidity” instruction classes at “voluntary” re-education camps in Iceland
9. $350 million to build a pier in Gaza
8. $47,000 for “transgender opera” in Columbia
7. $15 million for condoms to the Taliban
6. $1 million to boost French-speaking LGBTQ groups in Africa
5. $3 million for “just being LGBTQ” in the Caribbean (No clear explanation of how taxpayer funds were distributed)
4. $55,000 for “climate change seminars” in Argentina (Attendance was limited to female and LGBTQ journalists)
3. $2 million for sex change surgeries and “LGBTQ activism” in Guatemala
2. $3.2 million in reparations to Samoa for “toxic colonialism”
…and the NUMBER ONE U.S. AID GRANT RIPE for DE- FUNDING is….
1. $14 million in cash vouchers for illegal migrants at our southern border (What were we incentivizing here?)
Numbers 2 and 10 are fake. All others are actual grants proposed or funded by U.S. AID.
