If any of you democrats out there would care to reply in a comment for all of us to read, that would be nice, but I’m not going to hold my breath waiting.
But again, if you’re a democrat, the honest question is why?
Is the right to kill babies, wherever and whenever you want, really that much of a priority for you?
Is the allowance of illegal, unvetted, immigrants coming into our country, by the millions and millions, not to mention the millions of illegals that are coming across our border that we have no idea of who they are, is such a good idea in your mind?
Is the virtually unchecked allowance of fentanyl and countless other harmful drugs that are killing people in our country every day acceptable to you?
Maybe it’s taking away women’s rights that had been fought for so long, and handing those rights over to transgender males that appeals to you.
Or could it be the weaponization of the FBI and the “justice” system against anyone who challenges the democrats’ narrative and control that pulls you towards the democrat party?
Or perhaps you are endeared with handing billions and billions of our tax dollars over to foreign countries that don’t even particularly like us?
Or could it be you support the hate being demonstrated against the Jewish people in our country, ala Nazi Germany, and calling for the death of all Israelis and the end of Israel? Is that it?
No, I know what it is! You prefer paying like 25% more for everything, while also paying for the student loans for America hating liberal punks, as well as footing the bill to support the millions and millions of illegal immigrants we now have in our country, thanks to Lyin’ Biden and the rest of the democrats.
Maybe you believe we should go back to the horse and buggy days, while coughing up trillions of dollars in a futile attempt to curtail a perceived climate change?
Or could it be you’re worried about the end of “democracy” if Donald Trump is elected? But you don’t see the current actions by the democrats that are putting an end to democracy in our country?
No, no, I know what it is. You are pleased with the “defund the police” policies, and the collection of do nothing liberal DAs, and all of the lawlessness that is being allowed to thrive in our country.
It may be you don’t feel like you’re paying enough taxes and you’d like to pay more.
Or could it be you think it’s a good idea for drag queens to perform for very young students, and for them to promote deviant sexual behavior to them? Who are the parents who sit there and watch this disgusting display, by the way? Are these the suburban women who support Lyin’ Biden that I hear about?
I know, you’re a closet pedophile and you support Biden’s and the democrats’ sex trafficking of children across the southern border. You do realize the Biden administration has “lost track” of over 80,000 children it has allowed into our country over the last three years, don’t you?
You have an uncontrollable desire to wear a mask 24/7?
Like I asked before, if you’re a democrat, the question is why?
If you really do consider yourself a democrat, aren’t you the least bit ashamed?
If you aren’t, you really should be.
Just sayin’.

Before I get started, I want to give my wife credit for this title. Nice one, Honey.
While we waited for “president” Biden to come out for his unscheduled press conference last Thursday night, my wife and I speculated what our fearless leader was going to say, given that earlier in the day the special counsel released their findings about their look into Biden’s handling of classified documents as a Senator, a vice president, a private citizen, and finally as president.
Would Biden say he had decided not to run for re-election?
Would Biden say he has decided to step down?
Glenn Thrush for The New York Times reported, “While Mr. Hur decided not to prosecute Mr. Biden, 81, [Did anyone ever actually think he would be prosecuted?] some of the reasoning he cited for his decision immediately created a new political crisis for the White House. In recounting his interviews with the president, Mr. Hur portrayed him as unable to remember key dates of his time in the Obama White House, or even precisely when his son Beau had died.”
“‘Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,’ Mr. Hur wrote.”
Is that really a thing? This is how they decide to prosecute people, or not, who have committed a crime(s)?
“The inquiry found that the president had willfully retained material after finishing his term as vice president and had shared sensitive information with a ghostwriter.”
So, Biden and his crew could argue against Mr. Hur’s findings, but then wouldn’t they be arguing against the reason Mr. Hur chose not to prosecute Clueless Joe?
Can they have it both ways?
Sorry. Stupid question.
It is a bit of a conundrum, but not for this bunch.
Instead of coming out in his interview and calmly and coolly thanking the special prosecutor for choosing to not prosecute him, while begging to differ on his cognitive assertions of him, he came out and attacked the special prosecutor and anyone else who questions his mental acuity, while then proceeding to confuse the President of Egypt with the President of Mexico.
I have to tell you, after watching Tucker Carlson’s interview of Vladimir Putin, and watching him talk off the script for over two hours, and seeing what an intelligent and sharp man he is, Mr. Putin, along with along with all of the other leaders and people around the world, must be having a good laugh at “president” Biden, America, and her people. You and I.
Thanks again “president” Biden.

The democrats are demonstrating, again, that they have no shame, no level they won’t stoop to, and no lie they aren’t willing to tell to cover their tracks, or to promote their disingenuous positions and narratives.
The most recent examples are the false narratives surrounding this latest “border security” bill, and border security in general.
We are hearing claims from “President” Biden that he needs this latest border bill, or something like it, to help him secure the border.
Lie.
In truth, the border was very secure when he assumed office in 2021, and it was his executive actions on day one of his administration that opened the illegal immigrant floodgates. These actions could just as easily be reversed without any help from congress.
At a recent campaign event in South Carolina, Biden said Democrats and Republicans are “making real progress” on a bill that would include new border security measures.
“It would also give me, as president, the emergency authority to shut down the border until it can get back under control,” Biden said at South Carolina’s “First in the Nation” dinner. “If that bill were the law today, I’d shut down the border right now and fix it quickly.”
Lies, lies, and more lies.
The truth is, expecting the creator of the problem to fix the problem they created is insanity.
In addition, the president, any president, already has the emergency authority to close down the border, if they really want to.
The democrats have now actually resorted to blaming former President Trump for our border woes, and the complicit mainstream media is more than happy to allow them to perpetrate these lies without challenging anything they claim.
Hopefully people will more and more begin to believe their own lying eyes, and hold the democrats accountable for their anti-American policies.

Treasonous “President” Joe Biden has given the state of Texas until today (Friday, 1/26/2024) to back down and allow the federal border guard access to the border there at Shelby Park, in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Or what, Traitorous Joe?
And according to Blake Hanson, for Fox News 4, “Texas leaders refuse to give feds access to Shelby Park amid border standoff.”
I am proposing that Shelby Park, there in Eagle Pass, Texas, be referred to as “The New Alamo,” “The Alamo 2,” “The Alamo Part 2”, or perhaps “The Alamo 2024.”
“Top Texas officials say they will not comply with a deadline to allow federal border agents access to a park along the Rio Grande.”
“The tensions between the state and federal government have led to some calls for the president to take control of the Texas National Guard.”
“The Federal government demanded its border agents get access to a park that is a high crossing area by Friday (today).
“It’s a small area on a big border but a symbol of a dispute between the state and feds that’s ramping up.”
“The state of Texas is adding more razor wire along the border even after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling paved the way for the feds to take it down.”
“Gov. Greg Abbott shared on Thursday why he thinks there’s constitutional backing for the state to do what it needs.”
‘“It was the states that created the United States,’ he said in a FOX News interview. ‘And when the states voted to create the United States and have a constitution, included in that agreement was the compact that the federal government would take care of the states.’”
Of course, “dictator wanna be” Joe never saw a federal law or constitutional law he felt obliged to follow.
But, former President Trump is the one constantly referred to as a threat to “democracy.”
The democrats and Clueless Joe just have no shame.
“The high court threw out a lower court decision, meaning federal agents can resume cutting razor wire. But Gov. Greg Abbott says the state will keep adding more wire, saying Texas’ constitutional right to defend itself outweighs federal law.”
‘“Regardless of what federal statute may exist, the supremacy clause means that the constitution itself is the supreme law of the land,’ Abbott said. ‘The constitution itself provides Texas with a right of self-defense, in this case, because the United States has abandoned its responsibility to defend Texas.’”
And, at this point, twenty-four other governors agree with Governor Abbott, and have joined Texas in their assertions against the federal government and Joe “Santa Ana” Biden.
(Antonio López de Santa Anna was the Mexican President who led the attack(s) against The Alamo, during the Texas Revolution in 1836.)
Stand by. This could get very interesting.

Let me start out by saying we don’t need an “official” impeachment inquiry.
And we don’t need all of these hearings and investigations into Joe Biden’s obvious corruptness.
We don’t need to tie this check to that account, or that money to this person.
We just really need to stop playing these legislative games, which it seems, only republicans feel obligated to observe.
All we have to do is bring attention to the unquestionable “high crimes and misdemeanors” conducted by Joseph R. Biden and his cast of treasonists, regarding the colossal mess he has created on our southern border, and go from there.
But, what exactly are “high crimes and misdemeanors?”
According to Madeleine Carlisle, for Time Magazine, reporting regarding the impending impeachment of then President Donald Trump at the time, “The House of Representatives voted in favor of two articles of impeachment — accusations of abusing the power of his office and obstructing Congress’s investigation into his relationship with Ukraine — that Democrats argue fall under the umbrella of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.’”
“According to the U.S. Constitution, a President can be impeached for committing ‘Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.’ Treason and bribery are relatively clear, but what exactly are ‘high crimes and misdemeanors?’ The answer, it turns out, is complicated, and has been evolving for hundreds of years.”
“The phrase ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ appears in Article II section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.”
“There are currently two major legal disputes over the definition of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.’ The first is whether or not something in that category actually has to be a crime. Frank Bowman, a law professor at the University of Missouri School of Law and the author of High Crimes & Misdemeanors: A History of Impeachment for the Age of Trump, tells TIME he believes it doesn’t. ‘The defenders of the impeached officer always argue, always, that a crime is required,’ he says. ‘And every time that misconception has to be knocked down again.’”
“He offers this example: ‘Let’s say the President were to wake up tomorrow morning and says, “All this impeachment stuff is kind of getting on my nerves. I think I’m going to go to Barbados for six months. Don’t call me, I’ll call you,” and just cuts off all contact and refuses to do his duty,’ Bowman theorizes. ‘That’s not a crime. It’s not violating a law. But could we impeach him? Of course we could — otherwise what’s the remedy? We have a country without a President.’”
“What’s the Constitutional history of the term?”
“The concept of impeachment was used by the British Parliament as early as 1376, as a legislative safeguard against overreach by the aristocracy, and the terms in question were part of the process early on.”
‘“In England a lot of the impeachment cases had relied on this language of “high crimes and misdemeanors” from the 1640s onward,’ Bernadette Meyler, a law professor at Stanford Law School, explains.”
“But the phrase didn’t have a set definition in British practice; it was used to describe whatever thing the person was being impeached for, according to Bowman. There were several things for which people were impeached during this era: ordinary crimes, treason, corruption, abuse of power, ordinary incompetence and misbehavior in relation to foreign policy.”
“When the framers of the U.S. Constitution realized they needed a way to remove executive officials who abused the nature of their positions, they decided to add a definition for an impeachable offense. Though many suggestions were made at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, by the end of the summer they’d winnowed it down to two examples: treason and bribery.”
“But George Mason of Virginia took issue with limiting it to the two definitions, arguing they were too narrow. At the same time the Constitution was being drafted, newspapers were covering the impeachment of a statesman named Warren Hastings for misconduct during his time the Governor General of India. Mason pointed out that under their current definition, Hasting wouldn’t be impeachable. Mason suggest they broaden the definition to include ‘maladministration,’ meaning mismanagement or ineffective governance. James Madison argued back that the word would be too broad, and make it so the President would be serving at the ‘pleasure of the Senate.’ He worried Senators could remove the President if they disliked a policy move.”
“George Mason then proposed including the phrase ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ instead, and that’s the term they settled on.”
“To understand what the framers thought ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ meant, Harvard Law professor Jennifer Taub points to Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Paper No. 65, in which he explains the impeachment process. ‘The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust,’ Hamilton wrote in 1788.”
Soooo, a “high crime” is just a term deemed to recognize something negative a person of power is capable of doing, which the typical person isn’t even in the position to do, or even capable of doing.
It’s a “high crime.”
It’s a special kind of crime.
So, again, we don’t need an “official” impeachment inquiry.
And we don’t need all of these hearings and investigations into Joe Biden’s obvious corruptness.
We don’t need to tie this check to that account, or that money to this person.
We just really need to stop playing these legislative games, which it seems, only republicans feel obligated to observe.
All we have to do is bring attention to the unquestionable “high crimes and misdemeanors” conducted by Joseph R. Biden and his cast of treasonists, and go from there.
This is exactly what Colorado Representative, Lauren Boebert, did on 06/13/2023, when she introduced House Resolution 503, to impeach Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The latest action by the House, regarding this resolution, was to refer it to the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.
Submitted articles of impeachment:
ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President of the United States “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct as President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of the President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has abused the powers of the office of the President of the United States, in that:
Using the powers of his high office, President Biden has knowingly presided over an executive branch that has continuously, overtly, and consistently violated Federal immigration law by pursuing an aggressive, open-borders agenda by purposefully and knowingly releasing more than 2,000,000 illegal aliens into the interior of the United States without the intention or ability to ensure that they appear in immigration court to face asylum or deportation proceedings.
President Biden has intentionally facilitated a complete and total invasion at the southern border. President Biden ended the Migrant Protection Protocols to require aliens seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while being processed by the Department of Homeland Security. President Biden has closed Department of Homeland Security detention facilities and refused to cooperate with State and local law enforcement officials in securing the border. He has allowed illegal aliens to enter the United States as asylum seekers despite knowing they did not qualify for asylum. President Biden has pursued this open-border agenda purposefully and willfully, circumventing every safeguard, check, and balance required by law, resulting in mass illegal immigration into the United States, to the detriment of the American people.
President Biden, with such conduct, has demonstrated a failure to uphold Federal immigration law, violating his oath to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with the rule of law and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
ARTICLE II: DERELICTION OF DUTY
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President of the United States “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct as President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of the President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has neglected the constitutional duty of the office of the President of the United States, in that:
Neglecting the powers of his high office, President Biden has abandoned his duties to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed and upheld, by presiding over an executive branch that has continually, overtly, and consistently refused to enforce the Nation’s immigration laws and secure the southern border. President Biden has endangered the security of the United States and the health and safety of the American people. President Biden has caused a national security crisis and is endangering the lives of the American people.
President Biden has presided over the largest influx of illegal immigrants in American history, and as evidence of his dereliction, the deportation cases pursued by his administration are at historic lows. President Biden’s negligence of duty has resulted in the surrender of operational control of the border to the complete and total control of foreign, criminal cartels—putting the lives of American citizens in jeopardy. On President Biden’s watch, illegal aliens have been processed and released into the interior of the country under a mass system of parole, contrary to the clear terms of Federal immigration law. Utilizing the “CBP ONE” program, the executive branch will release nearly 40,000 illegal aliens per month into the United States. He has failed to uphold the mandatory detention and deportation provisions of immigration laws, resulting in the mass entry of inadmissible aliens and the continued presence of deportable aliens. Through this complete and total dereliction of duty and extreme absence in oversight of his own administration’s policies, President Biden has allowed more than 1,500,000 illegal immigrants to invade the southern border. On Joe Biden’s watch, illicit fentanyl has killed more than 100,000 American citizens. In fiscal year 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol seized more than 9,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern border.
In his failure to uphold the rule of law, President Biden has demonstrated that he will neglect his duty to execute the office to which he has been entrusted, violating his oath to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his constitutional duty to take care that the laws of the United States be faithfully executed.
Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
I believe that about sums it up.
If these aren’t the clearest, and most valid, reasons to impeach Joseph Biden, I really don’t know what would be.
Can someone please explain to me what the House Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement is doing with this referral?
Can someone please explain to me what our Speaker of the House is doing with this proposal?
Does anyone in Washington D.C. give a damn about our country anymore, save a handful of patriotic conservative House representatives?!
We don’t have time for political games anymore.
Who can reasonably argue against Biden’s “high crimes,” as laid out by Representative Boebert?
IMPEACH JOE BIDEN NOW!
IMPEACH JOE BIDEN NOW!!
IMPEACH JOE BIDEN NOW!!!

The correct updated answer would be at least 42 times since Oct. 17, 2023!
42 times!!!
That comes out to between one or two attacks per day!
And what have we done about it?
I heard we finally blew up a few empty warehouses in Syria.
Ooooh! I’m sure Iran and their friends got that message.
And, that message would be that Illegitimate Joe and his friends are holding up their end of the bargain, and are continuing with their policy of Iranian appeasement, at the expense of any of our poor troops that may be in the Middle East.
Pathetic.
Disgraceful.
Shameful.
Treasonous.
According to Coutney Kube, for NBC News, “At least 45 U.S. service members may have been injured in Iran-linked attacks.”
“The number of injured, which includes two dozen service members who may have traumatic brain injuries, is more than twice as many as the Pentagon previously disclosed.”
Huh? That’s odd.
“The military is monitoring approximately two dozen service members who may have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) during the attacks, which are believed to have been carried out by groups with links to Iran, according to U.S. defense officials.”
As long as it’s only traumatic brain injuries!
Glad to hear you’re “monitoring” them, though.
“The Defense Department has previously said 21 service members received minor injuries in attacks on U.S. forces at al-Tanf in southern Syria and on al-Asad air base in western Iraq late last month.”
“Three members of Congress who are all military veterans sent a letter Monday asking Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin how the Pentagon is protecting service members stationed at forward operating bases from traumatic brain injury.”
‘“The Department must proactively work to reduce the risk to service members both to protect our men and women in uniform and to preserve the capability and readiness of forward operating bases,’ Reps. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz.; Morgan Luttrell, R-Texas; and Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, wrote.”
How about asking “the president” and The Department of Defense how may attacks it now takes before we respond with an appropriate response?
I mean, it seems like once used to be enough.
Just sayin’.
“Since Oct. 17, there have been at least 38 [this has now been updated to 42] separate attacks on bases housing U.S. troops in Syria and Iraq, mainly by one-way drones, mortars or rockets. The two attacks that caused the injuries were both on Oct. 18.”
“A U.S. contractor died that day when he suffered a heart attack sheltering in place at al-Asad, the Pentagon said. The injuries so far include at least 32 people at al-Tanf, 13 at al-Asad and one in Erbil in northern Iraq, according to Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder.”
“A separate attack on Oct. 25 had the potential to be catastrophic for the U.S. military, two U.S. defense officials said. An explosives-filled drone hit the roof of a building housing U.S. troops on a base in Erbil. The drone did not explode. If it had, dozens of troops inside could have been injured or killed, the officials said.”
So, if this would have happened, we would have responded by blowing up ten empty buildings? Twenty?
I think Iran will trade empty warehouses for injured or killed U.S troops all day long.
“The U.S. blames the recent attacks on Iranian-backed militia groups. While they have not said Iran is directing the attacks, U.S. officials say Iran is responsible for funding, arming, equipping and training the groups.”
Oh, okay then.
‘“What we want is for Iran to take very specific action to direct its militias and proxies to stand down,’ a senior U.S. defense official said after the strikes last month.”
Or what?
Or you’ll send them a nasty letter?
Have you ever heard, “You can’t always get what you want…?”
I’m sorry, but our Department of Defense has become a joke under the watchful eye of Illegitimate Joe and his bumbling democrat friends and advisors.

We hear every day that we need to continue our support of Ukraine in the fight for democracy and freedom versus Putin and Russia.
But is Ukraine and Zelensky really that much better than Russia and Putin?
Is Ukraine any better at all?
According to Allan Ripp, reporting for NBC News, “Ukraine’s Nazi problem is real…”
“Of the many distortions manufactured by Russian President Vladimir Putin to justify Russia’s assault on Ukraine, perhaps the most bizarre is his claim that the action was taken to ‘denazify’ the country and its leadership. In making his case for entering his neighbor’s territory with armored tanks and fighter jets, Putin has stated that the move was undertaken ‘to protect people’ who have been ‘subjected to bullying and genocide,’ [In Biden’s own words, with video cameras rolling, he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. “I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko. “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.] and that Russia ‘will strive for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.’”
“Putin’s destructive actions — among them the devastation of Jewish communities — make clear that he’s lying when he says his goal is to ensure anyone’s welfare.”
“On its face, Putin’s smear is absurd, not least because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish [and Joe Biden is Puerto Rican!] and has said that members of his family were killed during World War II. There is also no evidence of recent mass killings or ethnic purges taking place in Ukraine. Moreover, labeling enemies Nazis is a common political ploy in Russia [and in the U.S., by the way], especially from a leader who favors disinformation campaigns [did somebody say Creepy Joe Biden?] and wants to stir up feelings of national vengeance against a WWII foe to justify conquest.”
“But even though Putin is engaging in propaganda [isn’t everyone?], it’s also true that Ukraine has a genuine Nazi problem — both past and present [well, they’ve got that in common with the democrat party!]. Putin’s destructive actions — among them the devastation of Jewish communities — make clear that he’s lying when he says his goal is to ensure anyone’s welfare. But important as it is to defend the yellow-and-blue flag against the Kremlin’s brutal aggression, it would be a dangerous oversight to deny Ukraine’s antisemitic history and collaboration with Hitler’s Nazis, as well as the latter-day embrace of neo-Nazi factions in some quarters.”
Reeeeally?
“On the eve of World War II, Ukraine was home to one the largest Jewish communities in Europe, with estimates as high as 2.7 million, a remarkable number considering the territory’s long record of antisemitism and pogroms [A pogrom is a violent riot incited with the aim of massacring or expelling an ethnic or religious group, particularly Jews. The term entered the English language from Russian to describe 19th- and 20th-century attacks on Jews in the Russian Empire.]. By the end, more than half would perish. When German troops took control of Kyiv in 1941, they were welcomed by ‘Heil Hitler’ banners. Soon after, nearly 34,000 Jews — along with Roma and other ‘undesirables’ — were rounded up and marched to fields outside the city on the pretext of resettlement only to be massacred in what became known as the ‘Holocaust by bullets.’”
“The Babyn Yar ravine continued to fill up as a mass grave for two years. With as many as 100,000 murdered there, it became one of the largest single killing sites of the Holocaust outside of Auschwitz and other death camps. Researchers have noted the key role locals played in fulfilling Nazi kill orders at the site.”
“Nowadays, Ukraine counts between 56,000 to 140,000 Jews, who enjoy freedoms and protections never imagined by their grandparents. That includes an updated law passed last month criminalizing antisemitic acts. Unfortunately, the law was intended to address a pronounced uptick in public displays of bigotry, including swastika-laden vandalism of synagogues and Jewish memorials, and eerie marches in Kyiv and other cities that celebrated the Waffen SS.”
“In another ominous development, Ukraine has in recent years erected a glut of statues honoring Ukrainian nationalists whose legacies are tainted by their indisputable record as Nazi proxies. The Forward newspaper cataloged some of these ‘deplorables,’ including Stepan Bandera, leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), whose followers acted as local militia members for the SS and German army. ‘Ukraine has several dozen monuments and scores of street names glorifying this Nazi collaborator, enough to require two separate Wikipedia pages,’ the Forward wrote.”
“Another frequent honoree is Roman Shukhevych, revered as a Ukrainian freedom fighter but also the leader of a feared Nazi auxiliary police unit that the Forward notes was ‘responsible for butchering thousands of Jews and … Poles.’ Statues have also been raised for Yaroslav Stetsko, a one-time chair of the OUN, who wrote ‘I insist on the extermination of the Jews in Ukraine.’”
Hmmm.

“Just as disturbing, neo-Nazis are part of some of Ukraine’s growing ranks of volunteer battalions. They are battle-hardened after waging some of the toughest street fighting against Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine following Putin’s Crimean invasion in 2014. One is the Azov Battalion, founded by an avowed white supremacist who claimed Ukraine’s national purpose was to rid the country of Jews and other inferior races. In 2018, the U.S. Congress stipulated that its aid to Ukraine couldn’t be used ‘to provide arms, training or other assistance to the Azov Battalion.’”
Is that so?
Who exactly is making sure this doesn’t happen?
“Even so, Azov is now an official member of the Ukraine National Guard.”
You don’t say?
In addition to the concerns about Ukrainian Nazism, Tom Vanden Brook and Rachel Looker for USA Today report, “The US has spent billions on Ukraine war aid. But is that money landing in corrupt pockets?”
“With more than $100 billion in U.S. weaponry and financial aid flowing to Ukraine in less than a year – and more on the way to counter Russia’s invasion – concerns about arms falling into terrorists’ hands [again?!] and dollars into corrupt officials’ pockets [don’t they always?] are mounting.”
“The special inspector general who has overseen aid to Afghanistan since 2012, and some House Republicans, warn of the need for closer oversight of the military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The scale of the effort is massive. The $113 billion appropriated by Congress in 2022 approaches the $146 billion spent in 20 years for military and humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan…”
‘“When you spend so much money so quickly, with so little oversight, you’re going to have fraud, waste and abuse,’ John Sopko, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, said in an interview.”
The question is then, why is there “so little oversight?”
Because that’s the way they want it!
How can any of this money be effectively kicked back, “wasted and abused,” if we actually require to document where OUR money is going?!
“The Pentagon rejects that narrative, saying safeguards have been put in place to ensure that U.S. weapons are accounted for by the Ukrainian forces after they are transferred.”
Oh…, ok, then…, if the Pentagon says so!
‘“The department takes our commitment to Ukraine seriously, which is why we implemented strong measures to track the capabilities we are providing to equip Ukraine,’ said Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon’s deputy press secretary.”
Define “strong measures.”
“The lack of Ukraine oversight draws parallels to Afghanistan corruption.”
Wow. That’s saying a lot!
“Ukraine has a history of corruption, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made stamping it out a priority.”
I believe using the phrase “covering it up” would be more appropriate as opposed to the phrase “stamping it out.”
“James Comer, chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Congress must conduct oversight of taxpayer dollars sent overseas. The committee will work to determine whether there was waste or misuse.”
Honestly, I don’t think we need a committee to determine whether there was “waste or misuse,” just how much “waste or misuse.”
‘“We owe it to the American taxpayer to account for how their money is spent,’ Comer said in a statement to USA TODAY.”
Yes, that would be nice, and change of pace to be sure.
Stay thirsty (for the truth) my friends!

During our illustrious leader’s latest visit to Israel, cognitively challenged Joe referred to the barbaric terrorist group, Hamas, as “the other team.”
“The other team?”
Like Hamas is a football team, or something!
Except this “team” is guilty of numerous unthinkable atrocities, rather than “pass interference,” “holding,” or “unsportsmanlike conduct.”
After sleepwalking through the remainder of his initial press conference in Israel, Sleepy Joe later felt he had to remind us that, “Hamas does not represent the vast majority of Palestinians.”
Really?
I would beg to differ, Illegitimate Joe.
During their last election, 76% of the Palestinian people supported Hamas backed candidates.
And have we heard ANY Palestinians denouncing Hamas’ disgustingly brutal actions during their initial surprise attack on Israeli civilians, from the Palestinians in Gaza, or from Palestinians anywhere in the world?
The answer to that question would be a big NO, in case you were wondering.
Clueless Joe keeps saying he has unconditional support for Israel, but he has been very reluctant to tie any of the blame back to Iran, who has unquestionably been the sponsor of Hamas’ terrorism.
That could be because Biden, his friend Barak Obummer, and the rest his puppeteers continually propped-up Iran by feeding them boat loads (actually pallet loads of cash in the middle of the night) of U.S. taxpayer money, while relaxing the suffocating economic sanctions that were imposed by former President Trump.
The compromised Biden administration now finds itself in a bit of a conundrum.
It is caught between rich Jewish campaign contributors, and the radical elements (which are quickly becoming the standard bearers, if they aren’t already) of the democrat party.
We also see the democrats caught between undying support for drag queens and pedophiles, while supporting radical Islam at the same time, who would greet their alternative lifestyle friends with the death penalty via Sharia Law.
This whole situation is well on its way to becoming a moral and political circus.
Hopefully they can manage to contain the circus within the circus, and not allow the animals to escape out into the crowd.

In the last few days I’ve seen “President” Biden (please recall that we should always put the word “president” in quotes when referring to “President” Biden, since he didn’t actually win the election) show up on the United Auto Workers (UAW) picket line, in Detroit, touting his support for them, and working middle-class Americans, who “built this country,” in general.
Then I see “Scranton” Joe speaking at a fund raising event in Arizona, crying about how extreme MAGA republicans in Congress are about to shut down the government, and about how bad this would be for those same working middle-class Americans.
Sooo, it’s okay to shut down the American auto industry, and all of the businesses that support the auto industry, but it’s not okay to shut down (which really isn’t a shutdown anyway) the federal government, which working middle-class Americans get very little help from, and in fact, the federal government which is making life miserable for the average working middle-class American citizen (regarding the budget crushing prices of gas, groceries, utilities, rent, and mortgage rates), while it shovels OUR tax money to Ukraine and the support of millions of illegal immigrants.
Excuse me “Scranton” Joe, but you and your pathetic administration, along with your disingenuous and anti-American democrat party, can kiss all of our working middle-class American a$$es!
And you can throw in the disgusting establishment RINOs in Congress, and the derelict, negligent, and equally culpable mainstream media as well.
In reality, you and the rest of the democrats represent evil, death, crime, lies, and corruption.

And, why, currently, aren’t Democrats more worried about Biden’s poor poll numbers?
April Rubin for Axios, an American news website based in Arlington, Virginia, reports that according to a recent AP (Associated Press) poll in late August, “Only 36% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the economy.”
And, “By the numbers: 42% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of his job as president overall.”
“The same amount said he has handled foreign policy well.”
Really?
Calvin Woodward and Emily Swanson, for the Associated Press, report that, “Biden is widely seen as too old for office, an AP-NORC poll finds.”
NORC (National Opinion Research Center), located at the University of Chicago, is one of the largest independent social research organizations in the United States.
“Americans actually agree on something in this time of raw discord: Joe Biden is too old to be an effective president in a second term.”
“In the poll, fully 77% said Biden is too old to be effective for four more years. Not only do 89% of Republicans say that, so do 69% of Democrats. That view is held across age groups, not just by young people…”
Despite these abysmal polling numbers, all we hear from “President” Biden and his minions is how good everything is going, regarding inflation and the economy, as well as protecting our southern border.
It is definitely a propaganda campaign that most people are just not buying.
Why would we?
Most of us feel we can believe our own lying eyes.
So, again, why aren’t Democrats more worried about Biden’s poor poll numbers?
Well, in my opinion, it’s because they feel confident that they can successfully manipulate the vote in the key “swing” states, and if they can do that, then it really doesn’t matter what most people actually think, or how they vote.
What other explanation is there?
Under normal election circumstances, the democrats should be losing their minds, and scrambling to find an answer to their 2024 presidential concerns. But, that just isn’t happening.
Even with all of Biden’s polling concerns, not to mention all of the evidence that keeps piling up regarding Biden family corruption, the democrats seem more than willing to roll with Joe.
I guess at this point, what other options do they have?
Kamala?
“Booty juice?” Hey, cognitively challenged Joe is the one who said it!
Gavin “left of the extreme left” Newsom?
No, the democrats seem comfortable spending another “weekend at Bernie’s (Biden’s)!”
I think we have all come to realize that the unconstitutional fourth branch of government, otherwise known as the deep state, the swamp, the unelected administrative state, the shadow government, the unaccountable federal bureaucracy, are the ones really calling the shots for the democrats anyways.
They only require a feeble front person who can reasonably follow their direction, and is just happy to be there.
Well, that’s sleepy Joe for you. A poll of the deep state supports Joe Biden 100%!
