There's a list that breaks down our "Obligation" to each country, and our disbursements so far this year. It's mind boggling!
$21.43 trillion total in 2019 - and I imagine it's gone up a bit since then.

Well, he is kissing his left hand, which is about the same as what you alluded to.
A comment from Owner and COO of Your American Flag store on LinkedIn:
“The disconnect between this President’s bloviating about the environment, then flying Air Force One 7000 miles to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil, when he could make a phone call to TEXAS for cleaner, cheaper AMERICAN oil, is just too much!”

Credit where credit is due, it's 51 people.
Or looked at a bit different, there are 49 senators (and a VP) who are both anti-American and morons trying to kill this country. That disgusts and enrages me.

Just for fun, I "googled" how much foreign aid we give away each year, and this site popped up:
Oh, it matters Joe. Truly, it really does matter, because your asinine, disrespectful, juvenile behavior is an embarrassment to all Americans who care about their country. You fucking horse's ass, you dim-witted, ignorant, direspectful, STUPID ASSHOLE.
I watch you make an ass of yourself every day, but you need to get a grip, you overgrown adolescent.

"White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein told CNN on Sunday that President Joe Biden will pursue his climate agenda "with or without Congress," following the news Thursday that West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin wouldn't back climate or tax provisions in his party's budget reconciliation package."
President Joe Biden early Sunday disputed a claim that he didn’t accuse Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of orchestrating the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in private meetings.
After arriving home in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, Biden was asked by a reporter about a comment from the Saudi foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir.
“The Saudi foreign minister said he didn’t hear you accuse the crown prince of Khashoggi’s murder. Is he telling the truth?” the reporter asked the president.
“No,” Biden said quickly. “Why don’t you talk about something that matters?” the president then told journalists, as another one asked him about bumping fists with the Saudi crown prince, the de facto leader of the Muslim kingdom, who is sometimes referred to as “MBS.”
Biden added, “I’m happy to talk about something that matters.”
Days before that, at a news conference, Biden claimed that he spoke about the death of Khashoggi several years ago. After his death in 2018, a number of mainstream media outlets often featured the death as front-page news, and those outlets also attempted to tie his killing to the Trump administration. Federal agencies have suspected the Saudi government was involved in his death.
“With respect to the murder of Khashoggi, I raised it at the top of the meeting, making it clear what I thought of it at the time and what I think about it now,” Biden said during a press conference on July 15. “He [Crown Prince Salman] basically said that he was not personally responsible for it. I indicated that he was, and he said he was not personally responsible for it and he took action against those who were responsible,” Biden also said.
What the Minister Said But al-Jubeir, the foreign minister, told Fox News that Biden and MBS never addressed Khashoggi’s death.
“I didn’t hear that particular phrase,” al-Jubeir remarked. “The president mentioned that the U.S. is committed to human rights because since the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution and he also made the point that American presidents—this is part of the agenda of every American president.”
Biden’s apparent lack of public criticism about the Saudi government and the fist bump was panned by legacy media, including The Washington Post, which issued a rare critical statement about the president.
Washington Post publisher Fred Ryan alleged that the Biden–MSB fist bump “projected a level of intimacy” far worse than a handshake. “The first bump between President Biden and Mohammed bin Salman was worse than a handshake—it was shameful,” Ryan continued.
The White House signaled that Biden was in Saudi Arabia in a bid to push the Saudi government into producing more oil in order to offset exceptionally high gas prices. According to data from AAA, although the price for a gallon has dropped in recent weeks, it currently stands at $4.53 on average as of Sunday. A year ago, the price was $3.16 per gallon, the data show.
Soros-Linked Group Wins $172M Contract from Biden to Help Border Crossers Avoid Deportation
A left-wing group linked to billionaire George Soros has won a nearly $172 million federal contract from President Joe Biden’s administration to help young border crossers avoid deportation, a report revealed this week.
Fox News’s Adam Shaw and Joe Schoffstall reported on Thursday that the Vera Institute of Justice, with financial ties to Soros, has won a federal contract for $171.7 million that will provide attorneys to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) to avoid deportation from the United States.
The federal contract could end up showering the Vera Institute of Justice with $1 billion in taxpayer funding, Fox News reported:
The arrangement lasts until March 2023 but can reach as high as $983 million if renewed until March 2027, the agreement shows. This appears to be the largest federal contract Vera has secured for immigration-related services for any single year dating back to the mid-2000s.
The Vera Insitute, meanwhile, is propelled by taxpayer-backed government grants and contracts like the one it secured in March. Between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, $152 million of the group’s $191 million in revenue came from government sources, its most recent financial audit shows.
The institute seeks to end “mass incarceration” by cutting down on the number of jails, prisons and detention centers in the United States. The group has also signaled support for defunding police
