Somewhere Near the Gaza Strip

Children laugh as the doors open for recess. A group of young boys and girls run to an open patch of dirt to play with a ball. It’s a beautiful sunny day with a slight breeze. One of the children looks up to watch the clouds waltz through the clear blue sky. A group of balloons begin to float towards the small school.

Suddenly, a siren rings, and a teacher yells for all the children to run inside. This innocent group of balloons is carrying a carefully crafted package. It’s a Trojan horse, a gift hiding the weapon of war inside.

A Preposterous Waste in Washington

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The White House Press Room is bustling as the first press briefing begins. All the big media names are there, looking for their usual front-row seats, and new media faces enter the room excited to join this prestigious group. Karoline Leavitt flips through her notes, preparing herself for any surprise questions a cunning reporter might ask.

During the briefing, tensions rise as reporters ask questions about the plethora of events that have occurred in the first week of President Donald Trump’s second term. One reporter questions why a recent move to pause U.S. spending on foreign aid seems so sudden.

The move to pause funding is shocking to those who are deep in the federal swamp. Every move the President makes is disorientating to federal workers and NGOs pocketing big checks for their pet projects.

Karoline Leavitt answers the reporter with masterful precision, talking about the necessity of the pause on spending and why it’s important to the American taxpayer. She then begins to detail some of the work the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, D.O.G.E, has been doing to cut government spending waste.

“During this pause … DOGE and OMB found that there was about to be $50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza! That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money!”

Yes, you read that right.

If late-night comedy was comedy, instead of empathetic monologues full of fake tears, this would be hilarious. An accountant is reading through the budget for Congress, Nancy Pelosi gets another bridge and a pooper scooper for her district, some scared politician gets a gift for the lobbyists holding a bag of money, and then Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar get condoms for Gaza.

Condom Calculations

I was scrolling through X when I saw John Lovell, founder of Warrior Poet Society, do some math to figure out how many condoms we could buy with $50 million taxpayer dollars.

According to his math, “$50 million buys roughly 830,000,000 condoms. There are less than 1,000,000 men in Gaza. This would give every man 83 condoms. Are they at war, or at a rave?”

There’s one error that John made in his math, though. He assumed the government was efficient, which it’s never been. As a result, he forgot to include the fee for the environmental impact study, the search committee looking for which latex company would be awarded a federal contract, and the salary for the DEI director who made sure there weren’t any unconscious biases in the distribution of the condoms.

In all seriousness, this is a real program that was run by the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in partnership with USAID and the World Health Organization (WHO). Even more enlightening is that they have an entire page dedicated to condoms and even provide statistics on how many condoms they have distributed to the 30 countries that are part of the program.

According to their website, “In 2023, USAID provided the following commodities to 30 countries in Africa, Asia, and/or Latin America and the Caribbean using PEPFAR funds: 269.9 million male condoms, 1.9 million female condoms, and 32.3 million sachets of lubricants.”

Sorry, John, you were way off. If we divided up the condoms evenly, Gaza received about 9 million condoms, about $5.50 per condom, if that’s all the $50 million was spent on.

USAID’s Trojan Horse

PEPFAR was established in 2003 under President George W. Bush to fight HIV and AIDS. At least that’s what they say, but at this point, I’ve lost so much trust in the government I don’t even know if I believe that.

The program states that “condoms and personal lubricants play an important role with USAID’s HIV prevention, care, and treatment efforts.”

Hearing a statement like this will pull on the heartstrings of many an empath. It sounds like a noble cause, minus the lubricants. However, if you dig into the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Gaza, you’ll find that there isn’t one. In 2010, 20 people were reported as being HIV positive in the Palestinian territories, with 11 of them having AIDS. By global standards, they have an unbelievably low rate of HIV, although the numbers could be higher due to low voluntary reporting.

While many African countries have HIV prevalence rates often exceeding 20-30%, the Palestinian territories have a rate of 0.001%. In case you are wondering, that’s lower than the rate in the U.S., which is 0.4%.

Don’t worry though, these condoms are not going to waste. If they aren’t being used in the perverted actions of Hamas, they are being filled with refrigerants and turned into incendiary balloons that can be flown into Israel. What the US government thought was humanitarian aid turned out to be the Trojan horse used to terrorize our Israeli allies and their children.

Karoline was right; this is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money. Government spending is out of control, and the fat federal cats in Washington will never cut their spending on their own. They don’t need to.

Conclusion

Why do we waste so much money around the world?

Maybe we do it out of the goodness of our hearts, but more likely, we do it because, like George Bush, we have a globalist utopian fantasy.

Maybe Hamas is evil because they believe in something evil, and no amount of condoms will change that, only Christ can.

Maybe U.S. foreign aid is not only a preposterous waste of taxpayer money but is actually a Trojan horse that is not only attacking our allies in the Middle East but also creating socialist welfare nations that will never know freedom because they will never have to take responsibility.

The United States needs to have the courage to make drastic spending cuts. We can’t keep treating every health and welfare issue at home or abroad as an emergency that needs immediate aid from taxpayers. We can’t keep building Trojan horses.
