Washington D.C. is chock full of worthless think tanks that seem to exist to employ the friends of the well-connected and which produce absolutely nothing.
Some, like the Brookings Institute, are openly affiliates of enemy terror states like Qatar, and there's the Wilson Center, which is a partly government-funded operation under the aegis of the Smithsonian.
The Wilson Center isn't spectacularly bad on its own, but taxpayers shouldn't be funding this garbage. Here's just a sample of a few recent Wilson Center tweets.
President Emerita Jane Harman makes the case for rejoining the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA).
"It's really bad news for families … this is the worst headache coming up at the worst possible time," says @sandsatwilson on the Canadian truckers' bridge blockade.
How Iran's economy has weathered war, sanctions, and other challenges since the revolution 43 years ago:
But this is particularly infuriating.
After Biden decided to split Afghanistan's "assets" between 9/11 victims and the Taliban (by way of the UN and local NGOs which have a history of paying off the Taliban), the Taliban and lefties were outraged... at money going to 9/11 victims.
Michael Kugelman, deputy director of the Asia Program at the U.S.-based Wilson Center, called Mr. Biden's order to divert $3.5 billion away from Afghanistan "heartless."
"It's great that $3.5B in new humanitarian aid for Afghanistan has been freed up. But to take another $3.5B that belongs to the Afghan people, and divert it elsewhere--that is misguided and quite frankly heartless," he tweeted.
What Afghan people?
Never mind that the U.S. subsidized Afghanistan to the tune of a whole lot more than a mere $7 billion, but we've seen pretty clear that the "Afghan people" when given a chance surrendered to the Taliban. And the Taliban are terrorists and enemies.
The problem is that we have plenty of enemies within.
