DOGE cuts mucho dinero from US African Development Foundation

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been sniffing out some serious government waste, and they're not afraid to take a bite out of it. In their latest announcement on X, DOGE revealed they've slashed $51 million from the U.S. African Development Foundation's budget, and the details are juicier than a pineapple in Benin.

Apparently, our tax dollars were being used to fund some real head-scratchers, like $229,296 to market "100% organic shea butter in Burkina Faso" and $239,738 for "marketing pineapple juice in Benin." 

I mean, I love a good smoothie as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure why American taxpayers need to foot the bill for it. And don't get me started on the $246,217 spent on "mango drying facilities in the Ivory Coast" – sounds like a real tropical boondoggle.

But wait, there's more! There's always more.

DOGE also uncovered $99,566 spent on "increasing yogurt production in Uganda," $84,059 for "a business incubator for spa and wellness entrepreneurs in Nigeria," $50,000 to "train farmers how to grow dragon fruit in Senegal," and $48,406 for "a WhatsApp marketing chatbot in Kenya." 

I don't know about you, but I feel so much better knowing my hard-earned money is going toward dragon fruit and WhatsApp bots.

Led by Elon Musk, DOGE is a temporary White House group created by executive order earlier this year. President Trump gave them 18 months to whip the federal government into shape, and they're clearly not messing around. Just last month, they axed 113 contracts worth a cool $4.7 billion, including a $145,000 USDA consulting gig for "Peru climate change activities." 

Adios, amigos!

But the cuts didn't stop there – DOGE also nixed $10 million for "gender equity in the Mexican workplace," $12.2 million for "worker empowerment in South America," and $6.25 million for "improving respect for workers' rights in agricultural supply chains" in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Oh, and they've been busy canceling DEI initiatives, consulting contracts, leases for empty federal buildings, and redundant agencies left and right.

As of Monday, DOGE is claiming they've saved us $140 billion – that's about $870 per taxpayer. Not too shabby for a group that's only been around for a few months. Keep sniffing out that waste, DOGE – we salute you! And keep protesting the DOGE's efforts to eliminate waste and fraud--the GOP appreciates your willingness to lose the trust of the normal American people.

Devout Catholic/Presbyterian/Doctor/First Lady wears Rosary while promoting abortions to Kenyans

Our "devout Catholic in Chief" Joseph Robinette Biden, has been the most pro-abortion, kill babies wherever you find them, and pro-LGBTQ+1 POTUS ever to sit [or things that rhyme with sit] in the Oval Office. And his highly decorated wife, the honorable and devout Catholic/Presbyterian/Doctor/First Lady holds the same anti-Catholic, anti-human life, pro-lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender [aka gender dysphoria], queer, plus one [whatever that is] values.

You honestly cannot make this stuff up. 

The Bidens practice of their version of Catholicism is worse than blowing one's nose in the Pope's Zucchetto on Easter Sunday in the Vatican and flipping it into the congregation like a frisbee. 

But to Joe's credit, he wasn't getting it on with a young aide in the Oval Office and stuffing a ballot box with a cigar. Sure, he was sniffing the hair of young girls and whispering things in their young ears, and he even admitted that he likes it when children sit in his lap, but other than that, he's almost a saint.

Doctor Biden was raised a Presbyterian, but she soon caught on with the Catholic-ish shtick hubby Joe does and now regularly attends Mass with her veggie at her side.

In Doctor Jill's memoir, crayoned in 2019, she wrote that  “traveling to Italy and being in a country closely tied to the family’s Catholic religion was an escape and a comfort.”

Last week in Kenya, Doctor Catholic Jill Biden wore rosary beads like a necklace, which is like treating the Virgin Mary like an accessory. Wearing rosary beads is unusual and is rather disrespectful but it's possible Doctor Jill didn't know that since she's Presbyterian.  

So what does the wife of the US President do when she's in Kenya? She went a-lecturing and spoke down to the people about artificial methods of contraception, which is contrary to conception, the latter being what Catholics support while fully against the former, but maybe she didn't study that in Doctor School.

“As part of her five-day trip to Namibia and Kenya last week, Biden participated in multiple events pertaining to the ’empowerment of women and youth,’” LifeSite News reported on Feb. 27th.

“On Saturday the First Lady stopped by the Shujaaz Konnect Festival in Nairobi, Kenya, where she dropped in on a watch party for ‘MTV Shuga,’ an African drama series that aims to promote ‘sexual and reproductive health and rights.'”

“According to press pool notes compiled by Washington Post reporter Jada Yuan, the Rosary-sporting Biden commended Kenyan youth attending the festival for their willingness to learn about and discuss ‘safe dating and safe sex.'”

As opposed to the tenets of Christian faith as well as the Jewish religion which only supports sex in the bonds of matrimony. 

Even religious Presbyterians know that.

Qatar: 6,500 migrant workers died in preparation for World Cup.

Qatar -- They came from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka as migrant workers, just a small step above a slave, to help build a stadium in the middle of a desert to host the World Cup. It began 10 years ago and since then, more than 6,500 migrant workers have died, according to the UK Guardian.

The data was extracted from government sources and indicates that the mean average of weekly deaths from these five South Asian countries came to twelve since December 2010 when Doha's streets overflowed with celebrants of Qatar's victory.

Data from India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka revealed there were 5,927 deaths of migrant workers in the period 2011–2020. Pakistan's embassy in Qatar reported an additional 824 deaths between 2010 and 2020.

Mohammad Shahid Miah

Mohammad Shahid Miah, 29, from Bangladesh, died when floodwater in his room came into contact with an exposed electric cable, electrocuting him.

And the death toll quoted doesn't include figures from other countries which send large numbers of migrant workers to Qatar, such as the Philippines and Kenya, nor were the 2021 deaths included in these figures.

Over the past 10 years, Qatar has been building feverishly, mostly in preparation of the 2022 World Cup. But there are also seven new stadiums and scores of major undertakings that have been completed or are under way, such as an airport, new roads, public transport systems, a new city and hotels that will be hosting the big game.

Death records are not explicit in terms of the deceased occupation or place of work, but it's probable that many of those who died were employed on the World Cup's infrastructure projects, according to Nick McGeehan, a director at FairSquare Projects, a labor rights advocacy group. “A very significant proportion of the migrant workers who have died since 2011 were only in the country because Qatar won the right to host the World Cup,” McGeehan said.

There have been 37 deaths among workers directly linked to construction of World Cup stadiums. Of these, 34 are categorized as "non-work related" as per the event's organizing committee, who has skin in the game of not looking responsible for the deaths.

But some experts have questioned the use of the term "non-work related" is accurate as it has, at least in some cases, been used to describe deaths which have occurred on the job, including a number of migrant workers who have collapsed and died on stadium construction sites.

The findings expose Qatar’s inability or indifference to protect its 2 million-strong migrant workforce, or even investigate the causes of the high rate of death among the largely young workers, many of whom were the main breadwinners of their respective families.

In one case, Ghal Singh Rai from Nepal paid nearly £1,000 in recruitment fees for his job as a cleaner in a camp for workers building the Education City World Cup stadium. Within a week of arriving, he killed himself. 

The family of Madhu Bollapally of India never understood how the healthy 43-year old died of “natural causes” while working in Qatar. His body was found lying on his dorm room floor.

Many deaths were caused by blunt injuries due to falls from height. Others were caused by hanging, and undetermined deaths were due to decomposition of the bodies. 

The most common cause thus far, is listed as "natural deaths" often attributed to acute heart or respiratory failure.

Based on the data obtained by the outlet: 69% of deaths among Indian, Nepali and Bangladeshi workers are categorized as natural. Among Indians alone, the figure is 80%.

The Guardian has previously reported that such classifications, which are usually made without an autopsy, often fail to provide a legitimate medical explanation for the underlying cause of these deaths.

In 2019 it found that  Qatar’s intense summer heat is likely to be a significant factor in many worker deaths and the findings were supported by research commissioned by the UN's International Labor Organization. The research showed that for at least four months of the year workers faced significant heat stress when working outside.

Even the Qatar government’s own lawyers in 2014 recommended that a study be commissioned to look into the deaths of migrant workers from cardiac arrest, and amend the law to “allow for autopsies … in all cases of unexpected or sudden death.”

The government has done neither.

Since Sharia [Islamic law] is the primary source of Qatari legislation, according to their Constitution, perhaps they can use the stadiums that will be left standing after the World Cup is done for that purpose.

For example, if a Qatari Muslim woman commits adultery with a non-Muslim man [a kaffir], she can be given her 100 lashes at mid-field. If a Muslim man has an alcoholic drink, he can get his 40 lashes by the goal post of his choice.

Al-Shabab leader Bashir Mohamed Qorgab killed in airstrike in Somalia

A senior commander of terrorist Islamic group known as al-Shabab, was blown to smithereens in an airstrike in beautiful Somalia, state radio reported.

Bashir Mohamed Qorgab had a U.S.-issued reward on his head of $5 million bucks in 2008 for information on his location. It took 12 years to finally kill the scumwafer. Qorgab's family confirmed his death and believe he's in a better place where he has the opportunity to get laid many times a day by one of his 72 brown-eyed virgins.

Qorgab [known to his pals as "Gabby"] was in charge of attacks on military bases. He was also involved with Kenyan operations, the report reported.

The journey to Jannah [the Islamic version of paradise filled with loose women, rivers of wine, and pretty boys] for Qorgab was on George Washington's birthday, February 22nd. It went down in the southern Somali town of Sakow after a joint operation by the U.S. and Somali military took place. 

The report did not report as to what took so long for the happy news to be disseminated, but better late than never. It also did not mention how Rep. Ilhan Omar was taking the news of the abject killing of this jihadi, a guy who did something.

Last month there were unconfirmed reports in Somali media outlets that Qorgab had broken away from Al-Shabab following disagreements with other leaders and was planning on starting his own terrorist organization he planned to call "Allah's Badass Terrorist Thugs."

Al-Shabab is linked to al-Qaeda and controls much of southern and central Somalia. They don't like non Muslims and believe it's their religious Islamic duty to kill them and let Allah sort them out.

Badahbah-badahbing!

It has also carried out a wave of bombings in nearby Kenya, and is regarded as the most dangerous and malodorous militant group in the region.

Last month, the group's fighters attacked a base in Kenya used by Kenyan and US forces, killing three Americans - a US military service member and two contractors.

So Qorgab's killing was, as Martha Stewart often says, is "a good thing."

He leaves behind an AK-47, 3 IED's, 4 grenades and a string of Halal beef jerky.

May he rest in pieces.

Trump willing to sign revised Paris climate deal

Photo: AP file

President Trump said on Sunday that he would be willing to sign the Paris climate accord if the treaty undergoes major changes.

The President met with global condemnation last June when he said the United States was pulling out of the Paris climate accord. He called it a "bad deal" for our nation's economy and even said 'very, very bad deal' at one point. 

Mr. Trump supposedly remains firm in his criticism of the Paris accord, possibly because it was signed by former President Barack Hussein Obama, a man believed to be born in Kenya, according to President Trump's previous statements. But whether Obama was or was not born in Kenya, as president, he acted as if he disliked the United States of America.

"The Paris accord, for us, would have been a disaster," Trump told Britain's ITV channel in a Sunday interview.

"If they made a good deal . . . there's always a chance we'd get back," he said mostly in monosyllables, and described the current agreement as "terrible" and "unfair" to the US.

But let's face it, even having the United Nations in the United States is unfair to the US. The unpaid parking fines alone, accrued by UN diplomats could run a small country. What we pay annually to the UN is far more than any other country, big or small.

The treaty was agreed upon by 197 nations in 2015 after tough negotiations in Paris. All countries pledged to make carbon-cutting moves running into 2030. In the meanwhile, countries can still pollute as they make industrial advances while the US and other nations have already cut back on carbon emissions. 

"If somebody said, go back into the Paris accord, it would have to be a completely different deal because we had a horrible deal," Trump repeated.

"Would I go back in? Yeah, I'd go back in . . . I would love to."

In early January President Trump said the US could "conceivably" return to the deal under more favorable terms, raising the question as to whether he was bluffing about pulling out of the Paris deal in the first place in order to acquire more lax emission targets.

California, on the other hand, is making it a finable offense for a waitperson to hand out plastic straws to customers unless they ask for one. 

Those straws are killing the planet along with fast food sandwiches, and President Trump is one of the biggest perpetrators of Big Mac pollution.

BREAKING: Al Shabaab kills at least 9, injures 10 at Somalia hotel

Nairobi, Kenya -- Nine dead, ten injured by suicide attack at the Sahafi Hotel in Mogadishu, the capital of Somali, a police official said.

Anyone willing to wear explosives on their body, or drive an explosive-filled vehicle to kill others, knowing full-well that they don't stand a chance in hell of not being blown to shreds once they set it off, has either got to be crazy, mentally challenged, or believe that this act will ensure them an eternal afterlife. 

Or perhaps all three.

Capt. Mohamed Hussein (no known relation to Barack Hussein Obama) said the attack began at dawn when a suicide bomber detonated the explosive-laden vehicle at the hotel gate. Next, gunmen on foot shot at people in the hotel, hoping their jihad would get them into Paradise.

"They have killed the owner of the hotel, a former military general and other officials during the attack," Capt. Hussein said. "There's a hostage situation inside the hotel."

Al-Shabaab, (an Arabic term meaning "the Youth) and a group aligned with al-Qaeda (practically destroyed by Obama's own hands) claimed to have waged the attack against the U.N.-backed government, using their website to make the claim.

This is not the first time this hotel has been targeted as it is used by government officials and business executives.

Presently, there are Somali and African Union forces at the scene of the religious jihad attack, according to the African Union Mission in Somalia, who posted on Twitter.

Anyone who believes that Al Shabaab, al-Qaeda, ISIS and all the other Islamic terror groups are not true Islam, ought to read about Islam before making that suicidal claim.

Al-Shabaab holding many Christians alive, for now

The folks of Al-Shabaab are at it again. Now they're holding "many Christians alive" after they claim to be the group responsible for theThursday attack of Garissa University (Go Rhinos!) in eastern Kenya, the place where Barack Obama may or may not have been born.

The attack, orchestrated by orthodox worshippers of the religion of peace, killed 15 and seriously injured dozens more. At present, Kenya security forces are trying to get at the jihadist gunmen in one of the university dorms.

Al-Shabaab spokes terrorist, Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, told Sky News,

(the Fox News that speaks your language overseas): "We are also holding many Christians alive. Fighting still goes on inside the college."

The vice chairman of the Garissa U. student union, Collins Wetangula, said that he could hear the Muslim fighters opening doors and asking the students who had been hiding inside if they were Muslims or Christians. 

"If you were a Christian, you were shot on the spot," Wetangula said, adding that he thought he was going to die with each gunshot he heard.

Michael Bwana, 20, said that he was able to escape and tried to phone friends. But the phones were either switched off or in the possession of the Islamic terrorists.

Bwana told the press, "Most of the people still inside there are girls." 

The question now remains, will they kill the girls or sell them as slaves? Remember, these Al-Shabaab folks follow the path of their prophet very closely and this is what happens to women in Islamic captivity.

It isn't much better for them even when they're not in captivity but living with one of these barbarians.

An Al-Shabaaber spokes killer told the BBC that the attack on the school was done because "it's on Muslim land colonized by non-Muslims." He also said that after separating the Muslims from the Christians, 15 Muslims were set free with their heads intact.

Cabinet Interior Secretary C.S. Nkaissery said in a statement that "280 of the 815 students have been accounted for," which means if you've done the math, that 535 are still missing.

Most of the Garissa students are Christian, a source told Fox News. There were no less than 5 Muslim terrorists in the carnage and it appears that they are cornered in one dorm.

I received a lot of angry tweets last night with an assertion I made that mentioned the intolerance of Islam toward other religions. The most anger was voiced by Muslims who accused me of claiming that they were intolerant.

I don't believe they understand the difference between Islam and Muslim. One is a religion and the other is a person. The religion is intolerant; the Muslim has a choice.

Is Hillary a Hypocrite or Just an Airhead?

An organization less transparent than President Obama's administration might be the Martian CIA, but when it comes to clandestine behavior, when it comes to shady-sneaky dealings, there's always Hillary Rodham Clinton. She rules in that area.

Even the White House says that it had been kept in the dark about Hillary's exclusive use of a personal email account, an account she used while traveling as secretary of state and during the time when our US ambassador was murdered in Benghazi along with three other brave men.

 Imagine, the White House, which was obviously receiving emails from her and sending emails to her, never realized that her email address was not a government one. Now that's what I call clandestine emails when even the administration could not tell that there was no "dot gov" at the end of her communications to the White House. Maybe she used invisible computer screen ink. 

We know the Obama administration would immediately tell Hillary that she is mandated to use government email for her official work because she isn't a special character who doesn't have to follow the rules.

Our secretary of state used non-government (i.e., non-official), non-compliant White House standards to do government business. She, as secretary of state, admonished Scott Gration, the Ambassador to Kenya, for a number of things, such as "losing the respect and confidence of the staff,"  his reluctance to accept Government decisions, not reading important classified messages, and using personal email to conduct government business. 

But Hillary Clinton sees herself as exempt from having to follow the mundane rules everyone else is required to follow.

The Associated Press learned about her personal email use from an unnamed source who said it was discovered in the Benghazi investigation. The source revealed that Hillary used "exclusive reliance on personal emails."

She was asked to produce her emails during the investigation and had the State Department make some or all of them available to the public--we cannot know with certainty if she produced them all.

"I want the public to see my emails," she tweeted cautiously. "I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible." 

Translation: "I want the public to see those emails I deem necessary to prove my innocence. I could have released them myself, but that would take away my valuable time from campaigning and there's a hell of a lot of emails and some stuff about Benghazi that makes no difference, anyway."

The interesting issue regarding Hillary's emails is the fact that she established a number of different email addresses for her private use. It's also possible that she had people working for her (like Huma Abedin, whose mother and brother have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood) using her email under the domain of "clintonemail.com," stated a 'White Hat hacker,' who provided independent research to Fox News' James Rosen. This particular hacker had also worked for the U.S. intelligence community, so was no slouch on talent.

Th hacker, using an open-source tool, called "The Harvester" to clintonemail.com discovered additional email addresses besides the one Hillary aides have publicly insisted that she used, specifically, hdr22@clintonemail.com. In all, at least 10 additional email addresses were uncovered.

Clinton spokes bull-thrower, Nick Merrill told POLITICO: "Secretary Clinton used one email account when corresponding with anyone, from Department officials to friends to family." But Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., chairman of the House select committee that is investigating the Benghazi terrorist attack (the one not ignited by a video) said about the emails that his panel "is in possession of records with two separate and distinct email addresses used by former Secretary Clinton and dated during the time she was secretary of state."

The Hillary bull-throwers, both Merrill and Philippe Reines, a longtime Clinton aide, failed to respond to Fox News' outreach for them to comment on this.

Eric Hothem, a former Clinton aide was the person who apparently registered the internet server in Chappaqua, New York, where the Clinton's live in marital bliss, I'm sure. He too did not respond to Fox News' request for more clarification.

The 'White Hat hacker' is currently trying to see if any of Clinton's accounts have been compromised by hackers in the past. "We know that hdr22 has been."

Let's hope the other hacker isn't the Chinese, ISIS, Iran or North Korea.

Thanks, Hillary--you've shown us how hypocritical you are. Why not take your own advice and get out of public office?

And President Obama, if you think for one minute that the public believes your administration had no idea that Clinton was emailing you from a private email server, you ought to change your name to Jonathan Gruber.

Cover Him Over "Fore He Stinks, Boys

Abu Anas al-Libi, died yesterday from liver complications. Anas (pronounced "Anus") was awaiting trial over charges involving the planning of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, killing 224 people.

Dead 50 years too late

The DoJ confirmed that al-Libi, who was 50 when he got his virgins, had "long-standing medical problems," unlike the innocent people he killed. 

This pond scum was captured in 2013 by Delta Force in Tripoli and brought to New York where he had been waiting for over ten years to stand trial (the wheels of justice move like the opening of the eye of the lotus, or when a cop is involved in a shooting of a thug). There was a $5 million reward for his arrest.

Anus' wife, Um Abdullah told the Associated Press: "I accuse the American government of kidnapping, mistreating, and killing an innocent man. He did nothing." She did not add: "Death to America, death to Israel too!"

If you recall, Anus sat in a European cafe bragging about how he carried out the killings of these innocent people who, in fact, were the ones who "did nothing" to deserve it. 

Back in December of 2013, Bernard Kleinman, al-Libi's smart, Jewish lawyer, said his client was  accused only of surveillance of the U.S. embassy in Kenya, and in 1993 was merely researching potential sites for other attacks with members of Al Qaeda in 1994. That's all. Just doing a little research for Al Qaeda.

The dead guy's wife told the AP she spoke with her husband on Thursday stating that he looked like he'd seen better days.

Now we should be the ones handing out candy to Americans for this guy's death instead of it always being the other way around.

Sorry, my sympathies lie with the dead this terrorist is responsible for killing. Obama, on the other hand, I'm not so sure.

Nairobi, Kenya: 59 Dead, 175 Wounded or Hurt, Not to Mention Benghazi and Pakistan

It began yesterday at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. A jihad attack apparently by 5 members of al Shabaab, an arm of al Qaeda with links, of course, to the Muslim Brotherhood, told all Muslims to leave the mall and then began throwing hand grenades and shooting men, women, and children at will with AK 47s. It is believed that at least on jihadist is a woman. They all wore white bandannas, military-style garb with grenades pinned to their shirts, and according to one survivor, they appeared to be well trained.
