Perhaps the most scandalous government waste uncovered by Elon Musk’s controversial DOGE so far is in the US$80-billion-per-year U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), writes Rod Dreher in The European Conservative. USAID’s ideologically biased, morally corrupt antics range from funding transgender surgeries in Guatemala to undercutting conservative democracies in Europe to subsidizing left-wing media outlets within the U.S. What Musk and Trump are aiming at, writes Dreher, is nothing less than “gutting the globalist hydra by cutting off its lifeblood: U.S. government funding.”

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
