USAID may be the biggest scandal in American History.


John Bolton is for it. So you know it's good.

Bush, Obama, and Bono. Thanks for your opinion BOB.

No oversight slush funds BAD.

That's awesome. I know you already know this, but don't ever sell it. They don't make anymore land. We have the Yellowstone attitude here. Don't ever sell it, not one square inch.
A sale in the future is inevitable for us, unfortunately. I love the seclusion. We've raised a great family in this house.
But when my youngest is done with college in 4 years, we will sell. Next chapter of our life has a lot less house and grounds to maintain. And more time for grandkid(s?) and travel.

When I get the hankering for woods, I'll come to your place. 😃

You're welcome to come up, it's beautiful.....but steep as a mules face in a lot of spots. Makes for a challenging hike for sure.
 
Before I had a license I'd drive the dump truck or sileage truck to school every so often, the VA Farm Use exemption was awesome.
GA did not have an exemption as far as I know, but rural counties kind of had an understanding I guess. I could not drive a car into town, but put me behind the wheel of a fertilizer or flatbed truck and I was good to go.

In VA all you had to do is paint farm use on a tag or heck the tailgate or buy a farm use tag from Southern States and you could go anywhere. As long as it was farm related and that was a broad term.
 

"Among the thousands of viral samples sent via USAID funding to the Wuhan lab is one of the closest known relatives of the Chinese coronavirus that ravaged the world in 2020, Daily Caller noted."

No way!

....and USAID is gone



Right Pulse News

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. State Department has announced the closure of USAID and informed nearly all remaining staff they are fired.


Confirmation of the Announcement
Yes, on October 11, 2025, the U.S. State Department formally announced the complete closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as an independent agency, effective immediately. This included issuing termination notices to nearly all of its remaining staff—fewer than 900 employees at that point, following extensive prior reductions

The problem with using AI like Grok is that you don't know where the information is coming from. According to most sources I'm seeing, it was officially shut down months ago:

When the Trump administration took over, one of its first major moves was dismantling the United States Agency for International Development. Nearly six months later, it officially shuts down Tuesday.

it was officially announced months ago that the USAID agency was closed but there did remain people that were still employed and they were terminated over time after the official announcement. Those remaining employees are now all gone.

"On Friday, Congress was notified that almost all of USAID's own employees are being fired by September, all of its overseas offices shut, and some functions absorbed into the State Department."

"The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by US President Donald Trump's 'first buddy' Elon Musk is set to shut down the US Agency for International Development (USAID) for good. All employees are set to be fired by September 25, reported news agency Reuters."
