Listen, the US pays for some really wacky things for its own citizens. That’s a fact. To find out the crazy things we buy for people who aren’t even Americans seems even more enraging.
SCOOP: Biden Admin Quietly Spent $15 Mil on ‘Contraceptives and Condoms’ For Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan— Former admin admitted ‘coordination’ with terror group, despite funding restrictions https://t.co/VHc1D2mOsb

Listen, most sane people don’t want the Taliban to have any more kids to indoctrinate, but Americans really don’t want to pay for their birth control either.
The Biden administration quietly awarded $15 million in taxpayer funds to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to help distribute “oral contraceptives and condoms,” a non-public congressional funding notice reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon shows. In doing so, the administration acknowledged that “some coordination” with the Taliban would be “necessary for programmatic purposes.”
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) earmarked the cash infusion, which has not been previously reported, last July. It transmitted the funds to Afghanistan in August, according to the funding notice and congressional sources familiar with the matter.
The $15 million USAID and its partner groups spent to “procure contraceptives,” including “oral contraceptives and condoms” in the Middle Eastern nation was part of a $100 million package meant to support “basic rights and freedoms” and empower “women and girls” living under Taliban rule. The terrorist organization, the USAID funding notice states, does not allow “young women and girls” to go to school or work in most professional fields.
15 million would have helped a whole bunch of homeless veterans. Just saying.

Dear @DOGE
USAID is another corrupt agency that needs to be dismantled. https://t.co/LtWJWEH5zK— Margalit Gur-Arie 🇺🇸🕊 (@margalitgurarie) January 27, 2025

Then, they wonder why conservatives are so against raising taxes. They are already wasting what we pay them.

Well that’s ridiculous. Goats can’t get pregnant.

Now, be nice! That’s funny, though.
It just gets more horrible. Dems have a lot of explaining to do.

No, worries. The Corporate Media will cover for them, as usual.
I’m sure that the Taliban spent that $15 mil on ‘Contraceptives and Condoms’ no doubt. Pinky swear.
