Did USAID Buy Beyonce Her Country Music Album of the Year Grammy?

Democrats up and down the political food chain have prostrated themselves in defense of a triumvirate of secular gods—Waste, Fraud, and Abuse. Oh, mighty laundromat of taxpayer dollars, fueler of the deep state gravy train, we are forever your servants and benefactors of your grace.

They’ve been protesting, first at USAID and then at the Treasury. Someone told Donald Trump that the former existed thanks to an Executive Order and the latter writes all the checks. Together, they’ve been funding black bag operations laundered through NGOs, buying influence, and pumping the stenographer media full of cash to keep it solvent.

According to the Columbia Journalism Review, USAID supported 6,200 journalists, 707 news outlets and 279 media sector civil society organizations in 30 different countries. According to the British Broadcasting Company itself, USAID was one of its ‘top 10 donors.”

The Feds have also reportedly been “investing” in movies and television, weighing in on the messaging in thousands of programs.

And yes, a lot of money that was used to interfere with Trump in his first term ran through USAID. The COVID-19 pandemic can be tied to it, as can nearly everything rotten if we look long or hard enough. This is what has Democrats protesting. The end of the funding machine and the student transparency.

The deep state and swamp are real and USAID was its sugar daddy (using your money, of course).

But USAID is dead. Its new avatar is thinner and more accountable – or so it appears – and aimed at what makes America Great Again. Its demise will result in hundreds of billions annually, “created or saved,” to borrow from the left side of the aisle, which got me wondering.

How did Beyonce win a Grammy for Best Country Album of the Year? She’s talented, but I started listening almost exclusively to country music a few years back. While I’m no expert, virtually every other country album in 2024 was better than Beyonce’s. I don’t even have to hear them to know this is true. The one Beyonce ‘country’ song that did get some play was Pop Garbage. It got some airtime ‘cuz it was Beyonce. The way Taylor Swift (also very talented) could serve dog crap on a plate, and her fans and that culture would eat it up.

Mmm. This is so damn good. But its not.

That sort of escape velocity epitomizes the boot-licking culture that drove Democrats to protest outside USAID and the US Treasury Offices. They’ll do anything to keep the grift running, a massive confidence scam not unlike how Kamala’s campaign wasted money on wealthy celebrities.

That pissed some Democrats off. They were mad about how the Harris Walz campaign burned through billions in donor dollars in just 100 days to buy influence. That’s USAID, but it’s not donor money; it’s yours. USAID has been propping up deep-state interests and feeding the swamp creatures with the fruit of your grandchildren’s labor for decades.

Trump created DOGE to stop the bleeding, plug the holes, and end the grift. If it doesn’t serve America’s best interests, it shall no longer get funding, like Democrats, for example. The left’s outrage is more crap on a plate.

This is good and good for you, and if you disagree, you are deplorable white-privileged racist regardless of the color of your skin.

And how many celebrities can be linked to who knows what causes got money from taxpayers through USAID? The IC has its fingers in media from news o entertainment. And the award shows, or so I hear, are about influence peddling, deal-making, and leverage. It’s all the same political team. DEI before merit. Talent isn’t nearly as important these days. And this is as transparent as Bianca Censori’s red carpet Grammy dress. Invisible.

The Grammys (Emmys, Oscars, etc.) are photo ops, sound bites, virtue signaling. How else does Beyonce win a Grammy for Country Music Album of the Year?

I made an album that identifies as Country, and you’d better see it that way or else. But Beyonce wasn’t nominated for anything at the CMA’s. Nothing.

And Democrats are protesting to protect an insider trading operation paid for with your money, and you’re supposed to be as upset about it as they claim to be.
