THAT'S WHAT I CALL BAIT!
Perusing the Congressional Calendar for summaries of recent votes, and upcoming comittee meetings an upcoming event jumped out at me labeled "THE USAID BETRAYAL." I wondered briefly if Alex Jones has landed a gig running media in Congress. The hearing will be conducted by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Chaired by Reprentative Brian Mast (Republican).
The hearing will be streamed on YouTube on Thursday February 13, 2025 at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.
USAID - "A Criminal Organization?"
Republicans have reacted with fury as Elon Musk led "Department of Government Efficiency"(DOGE) began to dig into the spending by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). On February 2, 2025 Musk Tweeted out "USAID Is a criminal organization. Time for it to die." The Tweet has 33,000,000 views. It is almost certain clips from the hearing will feature heavily in Thursday's media cycle. Wednesday night Reprentative Mast, shared a post from the House Foreign Affairs Committee Twitter account, proclaiming "Here's a list of ways USAID wasted your tax dollars." THe tenor of the meeting will likely be performative and raucous. The hearing notice listed the following witnesses:
- The Honorable Ted Yoho (Former U.S. Representative)
- Max Primorac, (Heritage Foundation)
- The Honorable Andrew Natsios (Former Administrator U.S. Agency for International Development)
Liberal pundits and commentators will almost certain key in on the testimony of Max Priomorac.
