Trump admin to destroy $500M of emergency food -enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week

Still waiting on that link

 

This wasn’t out of the blue and a concern months ago. Another example of what maga thinks regarding the hungry, sick, & impoverished children.

 

The original link is from the Atlantic. They are not the only news outlet reporting the same story. Here's a link from Economic Times. Rolling Stone. And Gizmodo. There's more, but that's four sources all repeating the exact same story. If the story is wrong, that's a lot of retractions each publication will have to print. And a lot of black marks on many sources.

 

Then use the right-center bias Economic Times :
US to destroy 500 tons of emergency food as aid freeze stalls global relief efforts. July 15, 2025

 

How about "not longer safe to consume" date? You obviously know that those terms refer to food for retail sale not donated food essential for nutrition of its intended recipients.

 

Would love to see you use evidence to explain why, but we all know that's not going to happen.

You should actually start most of your statements with "I choose to believe ..... "

 

But its an official TH approved source, that's typically the gold standard for you

 

The only question I have in this case is, is it true? If it is true, and that much food was incinerated, I can't think of a context or rationalization that would excuse the waste, the inhumanity.

 

"After months of stalled approvals under the Trump administration’s foreign aid freeze, nearly 500 metric tons of high-energy biscuits purchased by the US government for humanitarian relief are now set to be incinerated".

'The biscuits, bought during the Biden administration for $800,000, were meant to feed children in crisis zones such as Afghanistan and Pakistan. But according to multiple current and former US aid officials, the food has been sitting in a warehouse in Dubai, nearing expiration. The shipment could have fed more than 1.5 million children for a week.'

The Economic Times

 

This is disgusting.

 

liberal news sites rarely retract a wrong story unless they are being sued and are forced to do so

 

The Economic Times is a right center biased outlet. And don't you think that if all these news organizations got it wrong, someone in the Trump organization would force them to print a retraction?

 

This is a comparison you're making of "liberal news sites", versus ...... "non-liberal" news sites?

You got any evidence of liberal news not retracting wrong stories at a higher rate? Or are you just saying something that isn't necessarily true? What's a shorter word we could use to describe doing that?

 

Just lock the thread then.

 

Yosemite sam doesnt answer questions. He just tells us how things make him laugh. Literally articulates nothing of substance just drive by one liners.

 

did it really expire then? Article mentions high energy biscuits was among the food. I have no idea what the expiration is on that since it's not something I buy but you'd be surprised if you google it.

 

So you as a “moderate republican” will vote for Trump over likely any Democrat. Not very moderate.
