Biden-Harris are spending MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars on gay ‘chemsex’ app in Malaysia

Back in 1642, English author Sir Thomas Browne coined the phrase ‘charity begins at home’. 

By this he meant that people should prioritize the needs of those closest to them before helping others, which is something of a no-brainer.

After all, the reverse would be perverse and undermine the very concept of community. 

However, it seems that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have never heard of Browne’s famous adage — or, if they have, they’ve chosen to ignore it.

That’s because a new investigation shows they’ve spent millions of taxpayer dollars on a gay ‘chemsex’ app that’s based thousands of miles away in Malaysia.

According to a report in the Daily Caller, the Biden-Harris administration approved a five-year, $3.4 million grant from the U.S. National Institute of Health, courtesy of the University of Connecticut.

That money went straight to UCONN’s assistant professor Roman Shrestha, who’s leading the project which centers around an app called JomCare. 

UCONN describes JomCare as “a smartphone-based intervention aimed at improving access to HIV- and substance use-related harm reduction services for Malaysian men engaged in chemsex.”

Records show the NIH gave $773,845 to Shrestha in August. This was for him to undertake a three-month trial of JomCare with 500 users in Kuala Lumpur. In addition, it gave him $191,417 in 2022 to “facilitate access to gender-affirming health care” for transgender women, also in Malaysia.

Prior to that, in 2019, he received $25,000 for “examining ethical concerns of HIV Prevention in the Malaysian Context”. And, in 2018, he got $5,000 to study condom use among Malaysia’s gay men.

This may be charitable, but it’s also highly questionable. Especially when thousands of American men are victims of chemsex subculture.

Back in 2015, The Guardian admitted that “an increasing number of gay men are taking part in multi-day, drug-fuelled orgies across the developed world…despite the risks.” 

More recently, in 2023, The National Library of Medicine, an official website of the United States government, published a report entitled Lethal Lust: Suicidal Behavior and Chemsex. It noted that thousands of gay men indulge in regular chemsex, despite the fact it increases STI risk and suicidal ideation, plus heightened HIV risk. 

Meanwhile, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rate of meth overdose deaths more than tripled from 2011 to 2016. Much of this is likely attributed to gay men who use the drug recreationally.

So, given this wealth of worrying data, why are U.S. taxpayers funding research for people in a foreign land? 

Could it be because Professor Roman Shrestha is also a Senior Lecturer in Medicine at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur? Is it because he is of Asian heritage? Or is it because he regularly serves on the National Institute of Health’s grant review panels?

I wanted to put these questions to him, but he failed to respond to my emails. In fact, Outspoken made repeated efforts to get a response, but he denied our requests every time.

“Our aspiration is to make healthcare more accessible to the people who need it the most, be it across the United States or internationally,” his website states.

“Current areas of research focus on… improving the health outcomes of key populations, such as migrant workers, and others.”

Together, this is a bizarre state of affairs. However, it’s far from unusual. 

The United States allots billions of dollars in foreign assistance to other countries each year. In fact, foreign aid spending jumped from $56.3 billion in 2021 to $70.4 billion in 2022, according to an official government tracker.

Understandably, Ukraine and Israel have been the biggest recipients of late, but billions more have gone to places that loathe Western ideals and, crucially, oppose homosexuality. This includes: Uganda, Yemen, Nigeria, South Sudan and Syria.

Meanwhile, Palestinian territories the West Bank and Gaza accounted for about $154 million in foreign aid obligations in 2022, up slightly from $131 million in 2021.

Gay men wouldn’t be welcome in these regions, so why should their money go there? This is also true of Malaysia. A Pew Research poll released in September 2023 showed that it’s one of the worst Asian countries for acceptance of homosexuality.

Ergo, gay men sending money there is adding insult to injury.

Hopefully, with Trump’s second term incoming, this will be revised under his Department of Government Efficiency, which aims to strip back wasteful spending.

But the straight men behind it, Elon musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, mustn’t be afraid to tackle ‘intersectional’ spending. In fact, they should make it their priority. 

They should put Americans first again, especially those who are too high to save themselves.
