State Dept. Halts $50 Million ‘to Fund Condoms in Gaza’
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.”
A reporter asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt why President Donald Trump didn’t notify organizations before ordering agencies to freeze funds.
Leavitt pointed out that it would have led to millions of tax money for stupid things like…$50 million for condoms in Gaza.
Leavitt said:
And this is, again, incredibly important to ensure that this administration is taking into consideration how hard the American people are working and their tax dollars actually matter to this administration.
Just during this pause, DOGE and OMB [Office of Management and Budget] have actually found that there was $37 million that was about to go out the door to the World Health Organization, which is an organization as you all know, that President Trump, with the swipe of his pen in that executive order, doesn’t want the United States to be a part of. So that wouldn’t be in line with the president’s agenda.
DOJ and OMB also 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. So that’s what this pause is focused on being good stewards of tax dollars.

I wonder how long America has given terrorist groups money for condoms.
We know former President Joe Biden’s administration gave Taliban-controlled Afghanistan $15 million for contraceptives and condoms.
It’s interesting because we’ve known for years that Hamas uses “explosive condoms” to attack Israel and Jews.
The Times of Israel reported on June 20, 2018:
For over two months, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been flying kites, birthday balloons and inflated latex condoms into Israel, relying on the gentle Mediterranean coastal breeze to push them across the border.
Silly as they may sound, these weapons are no joke.
Most of them carry metal mesh pouches containing a burning piece of coal or oil-soaked rag, which have sparked hundreds of fires in southern Israel, destroying thousands of acres of land and causing millions of shekels in damage.
Hamas has used regular balloons with “endearing or celebratory lines” and kites.
Vijeta wrote about Hamas attacking Israel with balloons in 2023.

This is only the tip of the iceberg! Once the full scale of the waste is exposed even Democrat journalists will be flabbergasted!!
Or tip of the condom.
Not the tip, take the whole package off.
“Hamas uses “explosive condoms” to attack Israel and Jews.”
Ouch!
If I ever felt bad about the pagers, this would ease my conscience.
Do they wear them like suicide vests?
Paula – Now that would be fun to watch! Imagine the videos …
.
You took the tip right out of my mouth.
I feel bad for the goats….
Goats will eat anything
This + kicking the grifters off of the government tit.
Academia should be crapping their pants.
Think about it. Is there a group on earth that we don’t want to reproduce? Palestinians are the most inbred people on the planet except maybe Hawaiians and it shows. They are brainwashed all the way down to 2 years old and about 99% hate Israelis. No country wants them and it is understandable why.
Beat me to it. Was gonna say I am generally anti-abortion but I could be persuaded to make an exception for the Palestinians.
Let’s ship all of Planned Parenthood and kill two birds with one stone.
So to speak.
Two generations retroactive abortions, This is a terrible problem.
Hamas was not using the condoms for contraception.
They were using balloons and condoms with explosive devices attached which landed in Israeli schoolyards, agricultural fields and highways.
People who have never been to Israel – particularly in the summer- don’t realize how dry it is and how vulnerable to fire and arson. The arson balloons from the March of Return devastated significant crop lands, nature preserves and growing crops, endangered lives & homes & caused damage that will take a decade or more to recover. It ain’t as comical as it may sound to some.
We aren’t shipping them condoms, we’re sending them cash. Does anyone truly believe they’re spending 5omil on condoms?
Did Hamas use condoms supplied by Joe Biden when raping the Jewish hostages?
Something is seriously amiss with whoever was making the decisions in the Biden administration.
Probably not. I’m sure they wanted to impregnate as many as possible.
We don’t need to be funding nonsense like this–every day I question the sanity of the Biden administration and the people making these decisions
A DC Judge just put a pause on the pause.
Great!
OK judge. You made your ruling. How will you enforce it, you black robed piece of excrement?
Very true Sarge. With Trump appointees in charge perhaps there will be all types of paperwork hangups to stall the expenditures until Congress can pass a reconciliation budget in early May.
I would expect the budget will get a massive haircut and lots of budget related items like tax policies passed. Perhaps the elimination of taxes on tips and SS payments and elimination of government guaranteed student loans since all are clearly budget related.
Of course a judge put a pause on the pause but that was not the point. A case for SCOTUS to rule on who has the power for overseeing expenditures is.
Agreed, but ignore the Judges untill SCOTUS rules
Prominently displaying a cross, she reminds me of an exorcist holding out a cross to cast out the devils in the room!
“Funding condoms for Hamas”
Is this a trojan horse?
No horse. Just trojans.
I would perfer a simple, quick and lasting solution. Then they will not need condoms.
All aboard the Trans Gaza Express!
50 million worth of condoms, when placed end to end (without stretching) will reach to the moon and back 7 times.
The Trump WH is being smart. I suspect that many of these programs don’t have a specific appropriation and are hold overs accumulated over the decades of legislative horse trading and rent seeking. Now the spotlight is shining on this dumbass waste and the Congress will be pressured to go along with many of the cuts.
Put them in the empty tampon machines in the men’s room.
I’d like to suggest a public flogging for the idiot that came up with this idea
Could we change a few letters in “flogging”?
Sort of an aside but FJB tried his “sniff test” on Malania and the Trumpster was having none of that. Three SS had to intervene…. which is good as giving FJB what he really deserved would not have been good optics. Trump ain’t Corn Pop.
It’s a well known fact that Joe Biden* was Corn Pop’s punk bit*h.
Reducing the birth rate of genocidal terrorists who train their children to be terrorists seems a legitimate national security objective.
You missed the part where they are using the condoms as weapons. I have never seen or heard anything indicating any Muslim population is interested in birth control.
We fund 50m in condoms. Unless I’m wrong they get the cash not condoms. Anyone believe they buy condoms with all of it?
If the condom budget for Gaza is 50 million, It must be at least ten times that much for Ukraine.
The total population of Gaza is 2.1 million. The US wants to Gaza $24 for every man, woman and child in Gaza. Half are men and let’s say half of that are men of child bearing years. That’s $100 for every man of child-bearing years.
A box of 36 trojans cost about $15. With $100 you can buy about 240 condoms. Does this make any sense to anyone?
With the end of this program, we can only hope that Mossad comes up with its own version for Gaza.
It’s ALL about the money. Stupid programs like this is graft personified.
Find out who made this happen. Fire them today.
Who are the people that proposed these funding items?
It is important to know for the prosecutions.
