President Trump has cut funding for transgender operas, drag shows in Ecuador and some $50 million designated for condoms in Gaza. Former President Biden also doled out $15 million for contraception for the Taliban.

The American people were stunned to learn that while they were struggling to buy groceries, the Biden Administration was supplying foreign countries with condoms. Click here for my report on that story.

Rep. Brian Mast (R., Fla.), the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s new chairman, is now undertaking efforts to reassess the State Department’s nearly $90 billion budget, the Washington Free Beacon reports.

“We will be doing a full State Department reauthorization. We will wake up, eat, sleep, and breathe to root out waste in the State Department and make America the partner of choice,” Mast told the Washington Free Beacon. “No one can tell you why America is spending $50,000 on drag shows in Ecuador or $500,000 to expand atheism in Nepal.”

In 2023, the State Department, through its Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund, also approved funds for ballroom dancing classes that aimed “to uplift transgender and gender diverse youth leaders in Lima, Peru.”

And there was also a taxpayer-funded effort to create a transgender comic book — that was borderline porno, the congressman said.

“Let’s see, there was a transgender comic book, we’re trying to get our hands on the actual comic book, in Peru,” the Republican congressman said. “And I heard it’s reasonably risqué.”

The Peruvian transgender comic book program reportedly received $32,000 under former Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“No more condoms or contraception to the Taliban, no more teaching them how to weave carpets,” Mast told the Daily Mail. “No more funding drag shows to Ecuador at $20,000 a clip or atheism to Nepal at half a million dollars for a grant.”

“These are all things that come to an end under Secretary Rubio, President Trump and myself as Foreign Affairs Chair and the Republican led country,” Mast added. 

This is all part of a government-wide initiative to cut more than $2 trillion from the federal government — most of it in frivolous or perverted spending.

Side note: the next time someone invites you to the opera, just remember it’s not over until the fat lady sings. Unless, you’re in Bogota where the fat lady could be a morbidly obese dude.
