Blog #114 CBS Reports: America is a baby killer
America is Killing Babies Again????
I watched CBS Sunday Morning on Easter morning. It really upset me.
The segment was about the closing down of USAID, and the focus was on how terrible it was because babies and children will die.
Yep, Trump is now a baby-killer.
CBS is a cauldron of left-liberal nonsense. I get it. But this was too much for me. It reminded me of CBS Nightly News reporting on the soldiers being baby killers coming back from Vietnam. I admit, it happened to me as a Vietnam Veteran.
True, I have no respect for the Main Media: CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NYT, Boston Globe. Their leftist, socialist, progressive, near-Leninist propaganda is beyond the pale. They simply don’t dig for all sides of the topic/story. They are lazy faux journalists following an approved narrative.
As a country, we are being bombarded by Main Media lies, distortions, hoaxes, fake charges, and whatever can be exploited and exaggerated. The Trump Russian Hoax, Impeachments, Lawfare, Biden Scandals & Laptop, COVID Lies, Persecutions of SCOTUS Conservative Justices, and even now with the MS-13 Garcia complete nonsense supported by a US Senator. Incredible.
Yes, it has been a practice that if it bleeds, it leads. Today, if it is politically anti-American common sense, it leads.
The old curmudgeon, Ted Koppel, did his reporting focused on USAID as the largest donor in the World. He showed Elon Musk brandishing the chainsaw. Yep, Trump is going “to cut assistance to the World’s poorest people.”
Koppel goes on: Can you imagine, Trump is “dissolving’ the agency. After all, Trump calls it a “criminal operation”.
Yet, no journalistic effort is made to define the extent of the criminal activity that has made it so distasteful and egregious.
Rather, Koppel focused on films showing desperate people from Germany in the 1930’s to those in Nigeria and Afghanistan (of all places). To really play on your heart this Easter, why not show babies in Afghan hospitals without food and medicine?
He says, “Where is the American heart?”
Koppel casually implies very clearly that without USAID, “babies will die.”
CBS shows a film of Muslim, Afghan women in full face masks/hijabs with only holes in the facemask to breathe, begging for help. Babies crying. Pallets are empty of food and medicine.
Somehow, it is stated that we must help them solve their problems – even as we have our own problems! Does anyone remember the half trillion dollars spent and thousands of American lives lost to prevent the Taliban from taking over Afghanistan in a 20-year war?
Koppel then supports the narrative that it is our duty to supply aid to everyone to improve their standard of living. Why? Because it will stabilize societies.
Obviously, Koppel ignores history, which proves that it is both true and absolutely false.
Why does the USA have to solve all the World’s problems? Is it only the USA that can spend the money to support the world's population living in countries with failed governments, or not? Many of those countries, desperate and torn apart by war, are governed by incompetent, corrupt Dictators or Islamic terrorists based on Islamic principles of governance and law. They are not interested in change.
Should we continue past failed efforts for such nation-building?
I say, “Hell NO!”
No more Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, or Gaza/Palestine. Even now, we are not prepared for a possible war with China.
Should we help in targeted disasters and emergencies? Yes. Should other countries help too? Yes.
Failed countries must fix themselves.
For sure, as we have seen in the European Union, those desperate to leave failed countries then try to impose the same culture on the countries they escape to start a new life. In particular, Muslims want to impose Sharia Law and other laws of Islam on their new homes, even as they know they were the basis for why life was miserable in the countries they left behind.
It is crazy. Don’t believe it? Watch the videotapes of Muslims in the streets of London, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, and other cities in the E.U. The warning is clear and quite threatening.
For the US, it is time to end waste, fraud, and money laundering in the USAID organization. Trump is giving the State Department responsibility for dishing out foreign aid as needed for emergencies. DOGE has proven USAID to be an agency that funnels taxpayer cash to NGO’s (non-government organizations) that find their way into totally ridiculous programs, dictators, enemies like the Taliban and Hamas, and even into the hands of US Democrat politicians to fund their campaigns.
USAID is, by all reports, a charity and a criminal organization that works against the principles of the US culture, law, and Constitution.
The US is known to be the most generous country on Earth. But it should not be the most stupid.
While America has squandered its good fortune, it continues to add to $37 trillion in National Debt (that is TRILLION!) Its cities are disintegrating into poverty, growing homelessness, and crime. We have the highest taxes in the World.
It is time to stop the virtue signaling and the view that we have a bottomless well of cash for everyone. For sure, the rest of the World will continue to suck on our umbilical cord without fail. Why not? It’s free for them. But not for us.
It is time to focus on America’s needs with real solutions.
It is time to fix it before we go bankrupt.
It is time to stop the bleeding of America.
Yes, America can drown in bankruptcy.
Don’t kid yourselves.
History is evidence, not myth.
