There are rumors that Biden is yammering about $130 million more, but, let’s start with
US aid chief to announce $25 million in humanitarian assistance for Haiti
U.S. aid chief Samantha Power is set to announce $25 million in humanitarian assistance for Haiti on Friday, according to a statement seen by Reuters in advance, as the Caribbean nation faces a long-running political and humanitarian crisis.
The additional assistance from the U.S. Agency for International Development will go toward immediate food assistance, essential relief supplies, relocation support and emergency health care, Power said in the statement.
Psycho-social support, safe drinking water and protection for the most vulnerable, including women and girls, will also be part of the aid, Power said.
The additional aid comes after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken at talks in Jamaica on Monday pledged $33 million in humanitarian aid for Haiti, which Power said comes on top of the $146 million already provided by the U.S. since October 2022.
Heavily armed gangs have taken over much of the capital in Haiti, and rights groups have reported widespread killings, kidnappings and sexual violence. More than 360,000 people are internally displaced in Haiti, according to U.N. estimates.
So, the aid has been worthless? Canada just announced $123 million a few weeks ago. And consider
(Daily Caller) The Biden administration, through a variety of agencies, has approved about $680 million in contracts and grants intended to fund operations that would bolster the Haitian government’s ability to tackle organized crime, provide healthcare to the country’s residents, support infrastructure and spur economic growth, federal spending records show. Despite hundreds of millions spent, gangs now run rampant in Haiti and have forced its prime minister to resign, controlling as much as 80% of the country’s capital city of Port Au Prince as of March 5, according to a United Nations estimate.
How much has the Clinton Foundation spent in Haiti for nothing? Let’s go back in time to 2015
What Does Haiti Have to Show for $13 Billion in Earthquake Aid?
Americans texted tens of millions of dollars in donations and governments gave billions, but five years after an earthquake left corpses and rubble piled across Haiti, 85,000 people still live in crude displacement camps and many more in deplorable conditions.
The disconnect between the massive amount of private and public aid and the poverty, disease and homelessness that still plague the country raises a question that critics say is too difficult to answer: Where did all that money go? (snip)
The United Nations said that in total $13.34 billion has been earmarked for the crisis through 2020, though two years after the quake, less than half of that amount had actually been released, according to U.N. documents. The U.S. government has allocated $4 billion; $3 billion has already been spent, and the rest is dedicated to longer-term projects.
And in 2024, even after the money was spent, Haiti is 100% shithole, and violent, backwards, failed state. So, sure, why not dump even more taxpayer money into the nation?

Doesn’t your Christian Bible compel you up help others?
That 680 million sent to Haiti!!! That isine 4 bucks from each American taxpayer.
680 million that is such a big number!!!
But when you divide it up between 12 million Haztians it is like 50 bucks per person. Enough to feed someone for less than 1 month
You’re so concerned about what it says, YOU send your money. Taxing citizens, taking a cut, and sending what’s left to warlords who run an uncivilized country is not anything resembling “Christian charity.”
You don’t actually give a shit what the Bible says, so how about fucking off?
The Christian Bible does not “compel” us to do anything except love God. And since you’re not a Christian it’s a religious insult for you to even talk about it. I notice you don’t tell Muslims how they should operate only Christians and Jews. You coward.
How much money did you send to Haiti? I’m sure that just like your EV cars and climate crap you don’t do anything about it you just admonish others. You’re a liar a hypocrite of fraud and every other distasteful thing that the devil ever created.
I support five different charities and I’m not gonna name them. But I don’t tell you what you should do so don’t tell us you piece of scum. And I wouldn’t give any money to Haiti no matter what. Now they’re gonna be shipping these diseased darkies over here and we’re supposed to be taking care of them in our hospitals in our hotels and with all our public assets. Well screw you. If this Republic were being run correctly every registered Democrat would be assessed $10,000 to take care of Haiti it’s their game let them support it. Do the same thing with Hamas and Ukraine. Let’s see how many registered democrats there are when you have to pay for your own crap Instead of relying on us to do it for you.
You filthy animals are all the same you don’t deserve the breathe let alone vote.
Brandon,
So non-Christians are “filthy animals”… (who) “don’t deserve to breathe”? Your increasingly violent ideation is concerningly explicit! I need to invest more thousands into Dem candidates!!
Will you wait until Trump loses to start shooting people?
In my opinion (and I could be wrong), almost ALL religions, including Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Christianity are based on supernatural beliefs, mythology and magic. But you believe what you wish, as I could be wrong. But I do not have to abide by your religion in my beliefs, deeds or actions, whether Islam or Christianity. That seems plain enough.
Many of my friends and relatives are Christian and Jewish, and we have Muslim neighbors. No problems, so far. My bride of 50+ years is a Christian minister and a member of her church board.
Rimjob: In my opinion (and I could be wrong)
Most definitely
Bwaha! Lolgfy
Is Blowjob ever wrong?
Perhaps Rimjob should discuss his mental illness with his Christian minister wife of 50+ years instead of spewing his outrageous nonsense here at the Cove.
John,
Why should we help Haitians. Are they starving, likely. Are they dying, likely. But if we send money, it will change little other than adding to the wealth of select Haitians and the Clintons. Haiti has been in this state of affairs since the blacks killed the slave owners and took over the government. I don’t care what happens outside my country.
Haven’t they learned? All those billions can’t buy intelligence, which is what they need.
Media reports Trump threatened nuclear war after he says ‘this guacamole is the bomb!”
