From My Heart
One of our missionary families will be with us today. Bro. Dan DeLong and his family faithfully served the Lord in Australia for many years. Bro. Dan will speak this morning in the Conqueror’s Sunday School, and then I have asked him to share his ministry and to preach in our evening service. You will enjoy his ministry, and I sure hope you will be back this evening. Please make the DeLongs feel welcome and right at home with us.
Have you paid attention to some of the fraud and waste the Trump team has uncovered? This story is amazing and is only going to grow greater as each area of the Federal Govt. is examined and exposed. The American people have paid excessive taxes for as long as anyone can remember, but no one ever called to ask my opinion on doling out the money. Has anyone asked you? Well, Elon Musk, appointed by Pres. Trump, is exposing fraud, waste, and many of the ridiculous places our money is being spent.
Sen. Joni Ernst from Iowa, recently posted on X, “From funneling tax dollars to risky research in Wuhan (China, where COVID-19 was released) to sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week, USAID is one of the worst offenders of waste in Washington, D. C. and around the rest of the world.” Our tax
dollars (20 million dollars) were spent to create Sesame Street in Iraq. Two million to support pottery classes in Morocco. Nine million was given by USAID to feed civilians in Syria, but none of that money made it to its designated target. Instead it ended up in the hands of a subsidiary of Al Qaeda in Iraq (to terrorists).
And this is simply a fraction of what has been uncovered in just that one agency, USAID. DOGE is uncovering millions of dollars going to institutes, organizations, and tax-exempt 501C corporations that have direct ties to Democrat Senators and Congressmen. Two BILLION dollars was paid to an organization with direct ties to Fani Willis, the District Attorney of Fulton County in Atlanta Georgia. She was the one who came after Trump and indicted him for racketeering, doing everything she could do to have Trump thrown in jail. I wonder if 2 billion dollars was what it cost the Dems to bring Trump to a courtroom to try to stop his re-election. Well, Miss Willis has some explaining to do. How can she explain 2 billion dollars that came from USAID to an organization under her name? This blatant corruption simply must stop!
Today is the day that the Lord has made - let’s rejoice and be glad in it.
