$7.9 million taxpayer dollars to teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid "gendered language"
If any single person in America went to the polls to vote for THAT, I want to meet that person and ask "WHY?" I'll pay for lunch and two drinks, and I'll travel for the meal.
Today I begin a new series called, “Craziest Abuse of Taxpayers’ Money & Trust I Heard About Today.” If I keep a good pace, I should run out of material by mid-2564.
$7,900,000 sent to someone in Sri Lanka - maybe - to teach Sri Lankan journalists about Western liberals’ insane preoccupation with this made-up nonsense about there being more than 97 genders.
Let that sink in. That insane expenditure is just one - sadly tiny - example of profligate waste by The Swamp. I spent fifteen years researching the details behind the federal budget, then published a book about my findings, with strong suggestions to bring fiscal sanity to Washington, DC. I don’t say “restore fiscal sanity,” because I cannot say for sure there ever was such a state of affairs.
Then Elon Musk read my book - or someone of his acquaintance did - and came up with the idea for DOGE, which is wonderful.
John Kennedy, brilliant Senator from Louisiana, read some of the findings of insane waste DOGE uncovered. One marvelous bit of insanity is this Sri Lankan absurdity.
Leaving aside whether anyone in Sri Lanka itself - a nation divided into Buddhists and Hindus - asked to be taught about this “gender” stupidity is hard to do, but I am going to do it. I am here to help make this discovery hurt you, the individual taxpayer, more than just hearing another string of insanely large wastes of money by Washington. The numbing effect of so many zeros is one way the Political Class keeps the sheeple docile.
Let’s assume for this exercise that an American works 35 years on average before retiring. Ignoring changing rates of pay and inflation over 35 years, the average American income over the years was $63,000. Let’s keep it simple and say that taxpayer paid 25% of their annual income in taxes.
25% of $63,000 = $15,750
$7,900,000 Sri Lankan gender crap / $15,570 annual income tax per capita = 507 years.
Average person’s working life = 35 years
507 years / 35 years = 14 working lifetimes
That means if you are that person who made $63,000 per year, your entire life’s work in terms of contributing to the public fisc was worth 1/14th of one stupid, ridiculous Leftist program designed to foist absurd “gender” crap on people working as journalists in Sri Lanka, a nation who came out of a 30-year civil war a decade ago, with far more pressing issues to deal with.
That is offensive, immoral and - in my mind - amounts to treason on the part of every bureaucrat who touched the process that led to that disbursement of taxpayer money.
You worked your entire life. You worked hard. You raised a family. You did all the things a good citizen should do. You paid your taxes.
At the end of your working lifetime, you look back and think, “A blue-haired nitwit at USAID who majored in ‘Gender Studies’ at some $90,000-per-year liberal arts Marxist propaganda factory, who wears to work a keffiyeh celebrating Hamas’s murder of Jews, gave ALL of the taxes I ever paid to corrupt officials in Sri Lanka who pocketed that lifetime of hard work along with the lifetimes’ hard work of 13 other Americans.
Then Creepy Hair Sniffer Biden used still OTHER taxpayers’ dollars (with no contribution from Hunter Biden) to pay off the student loans of that blue-haired prick. Why didn’t the Democrats just swing by my house, slice a thousand paper cuts on my body, roll me in salt and toss me into a bathtub full of rubbing alcohol and hot sauce? It would have been less painful and insulting.”
For that, the folks at USAID should be grateful they have just been fired. I’d put every single shmuck involved in this Sri Lankan nonsense on trial for High Treason.
For now, we have to settle for the marvelous joy of their insane grift being stopped in its tracks and them losing their jobs. No more “gender training for Sri Lankan journalists.”
Thank you all who voted accordingly in November 2024.
For those who didn’t, please know we are just getting started in slashing Leviathan down to a tiny nubbin of its formerly metastasized cancerous state.
