The AP, one of the alleged recipients of USAID largesse, has come out swinging:

Do read the very last paragraph as it's hilarious. The article is basically "We're just neutral fact-checkers examining these claims..." [spends whole article doing technical nitpicking] "And by the way, did you know USAID is a wonderful independent agency bringing hope and innovation to 100 countries for 60 glorious years?"
The cognitive dissonance is amazing:
"These claims about USAID are misleading and need careful fact-checking. Also here's some unexamined agency propaganda we'll just drop in at the end apropos of nothing in particular!"
It's like watching someone insist they're not biased while wearing the team jersey.
Chickens have been the best farm investment. They are easy keepers, lay eggs you can eat, and babysit your kids. Make 2026 the year you get your kids chickens. You will not regret it.
My grandfather, John Morrow, used to say, “Going to church on Easter and drinking on New Year’s is for amateurs.” I think the last time I went out on New Year’s Eve was a decade ago. So raise that glass of raw milk and enjoy some rest! I’ll be asleep before it’s even 2026 in China. I wish you all peace and joy in the year to come. G’NIGHT!! ✌🏼
We have been playing electric fence whack-a-mole with the cows, especially “mommy cow”, who appears to be the ring leader of the fence jumping mafia. She either has a very high pain tolerance or the hot wire we just installed isn’t working. I watched as she ducked under the wire and pushed down the metal fencing so she could help herself to our backyard grass - and a recycling container filled with old hay.
