Foreign aid or foreign influence? USAID’s true purpose unveiled



The U.S. Agency for International Development is making headlines for waste, fraud, and abuse. While those issues are real, they are not accidental. The agency has been functioning exactly as intended.

USAID was deliberately designed as a tool of statecraft, funneling billions of taxpayer dollars to nongovernmental organizations both domestically and internationally. Some of these funds ended up benefiting Hamas in Gaza through intermediaries, while other grants supported media organizations that promoted narratives favorable to those in power.

If Americans are serious about reclaiming their government, they must also be serious about defining what, if anything, should replace these failed institutions.

This created a closed propaganda loop. USAID not only facilitated regime change abroad but also fueled misinformation at home, feeding misleading reports to American citizens and members of Congress. The agency served a dual purpose: reinforcing U.S. influence while strategically undermining adversaries. It became a relic of an America that prioritized economic interests over democratic ideals.

The real issue isn’t just that USAID was riddled with corruption. The deeper problem is that, for decades, the post-World War II global order relied on USAID as a tool of American hegemony — projecting power and maintaining influence.

As we rightly rip out the once-vital organs of that system, our focus should be on what our government and our place in the world look like on the other side.

USAID is just one example. Many U.S. agencies are not only inefficient bureaucracies but also obsolete institutions that likely never should have existed. A forensic audit is long overdue. We must examine what was done, learn from it, and then discard many of these agencies as historical relics. This is not just reform — it is the active dismantling of the post-World War II global order.

If Americans are serious about reclaiming their government, they must also be serious about defining what, if anything, should replace these failed institutions. Any debate that does not focus on maintaining economic strength and strategic stability in a world where we no longer pull the strings is missing the real opportunity — and the real point.

This debate must be grounded in truth and first principles. But how many Americans can articulate the fundamental truths on which this nation was founded? Do we even have time for the civics lesson we so desperately need?

Serious questions demand serious answers, yet they are being ignored in favor of easier discussions about “fraud” and “inefficiency.” It is easy to get angry about wasted tax dollars, and that anger can serve as a catalyst for greater awareness. But if the people truly want a say, they must move faster. Time stops for no one, and nature abhors a vacuum.

Donald Trump was elected with a mandate to return power to the people. He is doing his part. Are we ready to do ours?

Instead of clinging to outdated statecraft, America should seize this moment for renewal. Propping up a broken system only delays the inevitable. The real task is to build a future rooted in liberty, decentralization, and a recognition that power belongs to the people as sovereign individuals.

The first step is understanding how the world has operated and acknowledging that dominance through covert manipulation and economic coercion is unsustainable. We have reached the end of that path. If America is to remain a leader, it must redefine strength — not as global micromanagement, but as self-sufficiency, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to the liberty of its people.

Yes, our people. America must rebuild at home first. That means investing in domestic industries instead of outsourcing them, fostering innovation rather than relying on financial engineering, and decentralizing power instead of concentrating it in bureaucratic agencies that function as little more than tools of control.

We must embrace a future where influence is earned through excellence — not imposed through foreign aid and intervention.

USAID is just the tip of the iceberg. President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency are on a direct collision course with the entrenched power structures of the uniparty. They are ready for the fight. Are we? The dissolution of American hegemony must come with a renewed commitment to civic engagement, grounded in truth and first principles.

Harvard Medical School, Citing Trump NIH Cuts, Encourages Distressed Students To 'Take Advantage' of 'Countway Cuddles' Pet Therapy

Days after President Donald Trump's National Institute of Health moved to cap government funding for so-called indirect research costs—that is, money tacked on to a research grant that universities use to fund administrative salaries and other expenses—Harvard Medical School sent concerned students and faculty a message encouraging them to "take advantage" of the school's "Countway Cuddles" pet therapy program.

We need America First governors to restore state sovereignty



President Trump is driving the long-overdue transformation of the federal government at an impressive pace. Congress must keep up. Once it does, the states will be next to restore the vertical balance of power in 2026. Arizona will need a governor who understands this mission and vision. That’s why I’m running for governor in 2026.

From day one, President Trump and his team aggressively tackled the worst aspects of Washington’s bloated and corrupt government. He assembled a top-tier team of more than 1,000 experts to audit the reckless spending and financial mismanagement. He also appointed highly qualified leaders to fill his Cabinet and key executive positions, ensuring a strong and capable administration.

In two years, states will need America First leaders who are ready to restore sovereignty and put their citizens first.

What did the team of auditor geeks uncover? Billions of dollars in unauthorized payments, including duplicate transactions funding woke, anti-American programs worldwide. These findings expose the systemic erosion of our economy, culture, and freedom.

That’s why the left is freaking out. Leftists cry “fascism” when the Trump administration is actually dismantling the corrupt connection between government and private-sector subsidies. They accuse the DOGE of abusing its power simply for exposing the financial trail of bureaucratic corruption.

Democrats are in shock. They can’t believe American voters rejected their radical agenda — open borders, releasing violent criminals onto the streets, enabling rampant retail theft, using tax dollars to fund unrestricted abortions, inviting drag queens into kindergartens, and allowing male athletes to compete against women. Their disbelief is the clearest sign yet that the American people have had enough.

To the few Democrats left, America is a systemically racist and misogynistic nation.

As they regroup and elect radicals to lead their party, Democrats continue to protest what they see as the unfairness of President Trump and his supporters' efforts to dismantle the woke and weaponized national government.

If Congress follows Trump’s lead and prioritizes massive spending cuts, America will enter a new era of prosperity. It could be a golden age. Why worry about the “debt ceiling” when Congress has ignored it for years to enable runaway spending? Why fret over the “cost” of returning money to the American taxpayer? After all, it’s their money.

The most important thing that Congress can do to deliver on Trump’s mandate is to slash federal spending. No more lip service about trimming around the edges.

If Congress won’t attack the structural deficit of more than $2 trillion per year, the markets will impose discipline. And that won’t be pleasant.

In his second inaugural address, President Trump warned that out-of-control spending was fueling inflation. He was right. Now is the time to address it.

If Congress reins in spending, it will also reduce the size and power of the national government.

By the 2026 elections, the economy will be stronger, the federal government will be shrinking, and states will continue to regain their authority. This will mark the rebirth of federalism and the restoration of vertical separation of powers.

Republicans will expand their majorities in the House and Senate, empowering states to govern with greater authority and sovereignty. The United States must return to a federal system of government, not the centralized bureaucracy it has become.

That is why, in two years, states will need America First leaders who are ready to restore sovereignty and put their citizens first.

Biden's DOJ greenlit Big Pharma bailouts. Will Trump do the same?



Throughout former President Joe Biden's administration, the Department of Justice repeatedly bailed out and subsidized pharmaceutical companies like Moderna through various agencies, establishing a sort of "corporate welfare of the worst kind."

But in the dawn of President Donald Trump's new administration, some are hopeful that this objectionable precedent will be uprooted by a new Cabinet and a Congress of change agents.

'I've long opposed Big Pharma's entrenched power and cozy relationships with the government.'

On the Hill, there is certainly an expressed appetite for reform. Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas have been at the forefront of countering the Biden administration's "cronyism" and combatting corruption.

"Joe Biden's Justice Department wanted to put hardworking American families on the hook for Moderna's patent violations," Lee told Blaze News. "For the sake of America's taxpayers and entrepreneurs, the Trump administration should reject his predecessor's cronyism and let Big Pharma pay for its own mistakes."

Like Lee, Cruz shared concerns about the pharmaceutical industry's "cozy relationships" with the government and pointed to various pieces of legislation he has worked on to prevent further corruption.

"I've long opposed Big Pharma's entrenched power and cozy relationships with the government," Cruz told Blaze News. "I was an original co-sponsor of the Right to Try legislation signed by President Trump, and I have long advanced the Results Act, which requires the FDA to grant expedited review if another developed country has approved medicine."

Cruz also expressed optimism about Trump's incoming Cabinet, specifically pointing to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was nominated to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Notably, the Senate advanced Kennedy's nomination on Wednesday, teeing him up for a confirmation vote later this week.

"When RFK comes in as HHS secretary, I look forward to his leadership to combat corruption, expand consumer choice, and increase transparency."

Both Cruz and Lee sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would likely address bipartisan concerns about Big Pharma bailouts in the future.

"I wouldn't be surprised if this issue came up in front of the Judiciary Committee," a senior Republican aide told Blaze News. "There are both Democrats and Republicans in Congress concerned with the implications of this case."
