Let me just begin by stating that there is nothing, and I repeat little, joyful about” Tax Day.”
But knowing that someone is finally taking measures to get rid of some of the terrible things our tax dollars are going to — things I never signed up for and I bet you didn’t either — makes it a little better.  ,

As part of the present administration’s efforts to” clean up the mess the previous administration left,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced via X on Tuesday that under his direction, the State Department “has canceled another 139 offers fair$ 214 million.”
The StateDept has canceled another 139 offers for$ 214 million under my control.
The taxpayers should not be funding misguided initiatives like” Building the Migrant Domestic Worker-Led Movement” in Lebanon or” Get the Trolls Out”! in the UK.
We are…
— Secretary Marco Rubio ( @SecRubio ) April 15, 2025
You won’t think what some of those provides were going to. We were paying for programs like” Building the Migrant Domestic Worker-Led Movement” in Lebanon and” Get the Trolls Out” in the UK, as Rubio claims in his X post. ( What? )  ,
In a special article released by the Free Beacon on Tuesday, an article that was published in the same week reveals even more of the absurdity:$ 5.6 million for a “media diversity” grant for an “anti-disinformation program in the UK,$ 5.2 million for” building environmental resilience,” and$ 400,000 for” building sustainability” in Armenia. In Lebanon, where, according to the Free Beacon,” Hezbollah holds sway over the government,”$ 1 million went toward” channeling gig workers ‘ rights” in Brazil, and$ 750, 000 went toward the aforementioned” Building the Migrant Domestic Worker-led Movement” grant.

The State Department’s contentious Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor ( DRL ) will be impacted by the majority of these cuts.  ,  ,
On Monday evening, Rubio officially approved ending these offers, which went into effect immediately. I suppose the UK may need to find a way to support its media variety.  ,
Really? Are we simply handing out money the way officials do at Fourth of July marches? If but, I’d like to participate in that. Send me$ 5.2 million for diversity in the internet. After all, I work in the media. For that price, I’d be ready to add some variety to my week.  ,
I’m not sure what does if this doesn’t demonstrate that the people’s parties are no Democrats. Although I oppose a lot of the international aid we send, doesn’t these funds be better used for charitable projects if we had to? And I’m not referring to charitable initiatives like” Keep the Drag Queens in Uganda.” I’m referring to actual initiatives that provide medical care to those who are dying from preventable diseases and food and water to those who are starving. When Democrats push for that and that alone, they may insult me with all of their compassion talk.  ,  ,
Next day your favourite liberal media outlet publishes a stock photo of a Latino child crying, making up the name of Donald Trump’s deportation campaign or making up Rubio’s State Department’s decision to simply revoke the visas of the world’s leading doctors and wonderful little ancient grandfathers, think about it. That is not accurate. Democrats are uninterested in these people’s lives.  ,

They are not at all concerned with the elderly, starving, or tired. They are concerned about expanding their voting base by facilitating the distribution of their crackpot leftist ideology around the world. That is it. Thank goodness there are now mature adults in command who are willing to fix this.  ,
The State Department’s initial assessment of foreign funding was completed in late February, according to the Free Beacon, and” DOGE conducted the’supplemental assessment of remaining foreign support grant programs.” According to the initial review,$ 60 billion in grants are worth$ 60 billion in amounts that do not align with the Trump administration’s policies, which aim to eliminate any support that does not help “life-saving aid and corporate and national protection priorities.”
Although it appears like there is still work to be done, we are getting off to a good start, hardly a knife.  ,
