Ted Perry's Wailing and Snorting About USAID.....

 Earlier we mentioned that Channel 6 doesn't bother with 'the rest of the story' in its wailing and snorting about the end of USAID.  Ted (and his sidekick Mary) apparently read the press releases from ex-USAID public relations people over the air and that's that.  Ted & Mary also fail to mention that USAID is widely regarded as a CIA front, which is meaningful.  They are a disappointment.

Too bad.

...The Trump administration’s efforts to shutter the agency following these ongoing transparency issues also bring criticism that its leadership has failed to respond to explicit policy directives from the State Department and the wider executive branch to align its programs with Trump policies and the U.S. national interest. 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has now been designated the acting director of USAID, shared these concerns while visiting El Salvador on Monday.

“Well, look, my frustration with USAID goes back to my time in Congress,” Rubio told reporters on Monday while visiting El Salvador. “It’s a completely unresponsive agency. It’s supposed to respond to policy directives from the State Department and it refuses to do so.” 

Rubio also said that the agency’s repeated failures to respond to questions about how funds were being spent in certain programs precipitated the actions from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, which is operating in close coordination with the White House.

Mike Benz, the founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online, chronicled how USAID spent funds encouraging censorship across the globe. He said the agency’s record of funding controversial or freedom-damaging projects had eroded its trust across the globe.

“USAID has systematically corrupted the American and world trust in the institutions that keep society going,” he said. ...

USAID's Inspector General released a report slamming USAID's actions.  But you didn't hear that from Ted & Mary, did you?

More:  

... Marco Rubio quickly clarified in a waiver on Jan. 28 that the aid freeze did not apply to “core life-saving programs,” instead targeting “activities that involve abortions, family planning conferences … gender or DEI ideology programs, transgender surgeries, or other non-life-saving assistance.”...

USAID has promoted every sexual perversion known to man in countries around the world.  Perhaps Ted Perry should do a little more reading.   He could start here, for example.

Sad state of affairs at Channel 6.
