The second most powerful Democrat in the House just unilaterally declared that America is in a “Time of War”
85% of House members just voted to send $40 Billion in lethal aid to Ukraine
They’re trying to sleepwalk us into WWIII 6 months before an election.
Are you awake yet?

Answer: Aside from one final magnificent payday, they are producing a grand opera of distraction to direct the American public’s attention from the sinking of our own ship-of-state in the waters of Babylon.
That giant wad of money, you understand, goes mainly to the likes of Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Textron, Boeing, et cetera, and a substantial portion re-circulates through the K-Street laundromat into the congressional campaign finance wishing well, while billions more get creamed off by Mr. Zelenskyy & Co. — providing self-reinforcing incentives to, how shall we say, blow more shit up on the global landscape.
It does not escape the attention, however, of some people on deck that the US ship is riding lower in the water each day, and listing at a distressing angle. Many other passengers have retreated to their staterooms, sick from the “vaccines” they were required to take to stay on-board for the voyage. Meanwhile water is streaming in below-decks, down in the stinking bilges, from many cracks in the hull. Nobody seems to know what to do, least of all the ship’s captain, who won’t come out of his quarters. (It’s whispered that he’s gone mad.) Is it time to lower the lifeboats?
In the hazy realm that is reality these days, those metaphorical cracks in our ship’s hull represent grave acts of negligence and even treasonous sabotage. Chatter over the Internet says our country, and other countries, are fixing to surrender their national sovereignty — that is, their ability to decide things for themselves — to the World Health Organization in anticipation of some as-yet-unnamed global emergency. Surrender, you say? By means of what? A vote in UN? A memo from the White House signed by the howling ghost known as “Joe Biden”? Surely not some procedure in Congresses and parliaments that would call for debate.
There is further suggestion that all this mischief is at the behest of larval would-be World Fuhrer Klaus Schwab. A more preposterous idea I have not heard in all my born days. And yet what else accounts in country after country for the bizarre super-coordination of insults to the world population such as mass lockdowns and mandated vaccination with genetic cocktails which, let’s face it, don’t look so goshdarn salubrious anymore. Rain-man and amateur immunologist Bill Gates is imputed somewhere in the mix. He’s been promising the world new-and-improved pandemic viruses. The last one was kind of a flop, like Windows 10X (code-name: Santorini). Uh, why is this man still at large?
And how, exactly, do the likes of WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WEF founder and chief Professor Klaus Schwab, and world-beating do-good wizard Bill Gates propose to enforce their plans to seize leadership of the whole wide world in their hypothesized next crisis-to-come? Again, chatter on the Web suggests that the United Nations, these days a convocation of failed states and diseased backwaters, somehow marshals the developed nations’ armies against their own citizens. Sorry, but I just don’t see it. Are there three less charismatic characters in all world history than that above-named trio of human worms? What are they going to do to make Bill Gates look like a Leader-of-Men? Dress him in the raiment of a Napoleonic hussar: gold-frogged tunic, epaulets, leopard-skin cape, knee-high boots, and plumed bear-skin shako? Nigga, please….
Meanwhile, hardships-upon-hardships pile up at bewildering volume and speed in this-here federal consortium of states. No baby formula for you, non-aborted birthing persons of America!
It is not important. Ukraine is Europe’s problem. We have no idea where the money has gone and do not know where this will end up. Ukraine is the third most corrupt country in the world
It must be nice.
Biden is being blackmailed with all the dirt Zelensky has on him BUT WE are the ones who are paying the cash!
How rich is Zelensky now?
Bankers guestimate he’s got over $800 MILLION US Dollars … so far.
Sounds like the McAffee files are going to drop, he was another assisted suicide. All interesting rumor at this point , makes Assange and panama papers look quite tame.
IT IS NOT IMPORTANT FOR WORKING AMERICANS! It is very important for “The Ruling Class”‘ our bettors THE UNIPARTY!
If for no other reason than it impoverishes working Americans; thereby making them easier top rule.
TO. not top!
Why Funding Ukraine Is Just Dead Wrong
Quietly, thoughtlessly, and ominously, America is sleepwalking towards a nuclear war.
Two weeks ago, the Biden Administration asked Congress for $33 billion to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia. But in a divided Washington, the Uniparty has united in agreement that $33 billion is not enough. On Monday, Republicans and Democrats in Congress struck a deal to send Ukraine $40 billion in aid. Leaders unveiled the bill text on Tuesday, and voted on it within hours.
The bill raced through the House in the dark of night, with unanimous Democratic support. Of course, the phony left-populist poser Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her “Squad” were on board. Republican support was overwhelming as well, but a few members did bravely stand against the tide.
They were 57 strong.

On the other side, Nancy Pelosi wants to take food out of her neighbor’s mouths to buy weapons of war from Ukraine. Forget the babies who can’t get baby formula thanks to the federal government’s shenanigans.
Let them eat Javelins? We certainly don’t recall reading that one in the Bible.
For now, the aid package has been held up thanks to a gutsy objection from Sen. Rand Paul. Still, one senator can’t block it forever.
Adding in the several billion America has already sent to Ukraine, America is poised to spend $43 billion on this conflict in just seven months. And we’re not just sending Ukraine weapons. The U.S. Congress has volunteered our tax money to pay the salaries of its officials, as if they were long-distance contractors of the federal government. In a way, that’s exactly what they are. He who pays the piper, calls the tune.
Huge numbers are always getting thrown around in Washington, so it’s worth pausing to evaluate just what $43 billion means.
CNN has more details:
And keep in mind, this is only to cover through next September. If the war is still grinding on then, and President Biden comes back asking for another $40 billion to cover another five months, America will end up spending $83 billion in one year on a war that our own soldiers are not even fighting in. For comparison, 1991’s Gulf War, which the U.S. actually fought in, cost the country just $14 billion in 2022 dollars.
Yet incredibly and depressingly, the consensus at the top of the GOP is that $43 billion for Ukraine is the single best and most important use of America’s dwindling wealth.

America LAST: US Senate REJECTS $48 Billion Aid Package For Small Businesses and Restaurants Just Hours After Approving ANOTHER $40 Billion for Ukraine – 34 RINOs Voted Yes for Ukraine and No for Americans
Yeah, only $48 billion is too small and too targeted to be able to steal enough to make it worth their while. F**K US businesses.
What seems to be quite interesting is that when Rand Paul opposed the bill, he stipulated there was no provision in the bill for the installation of an Inspector General who would presumably provide a degree of oversight. The bill passed without the inclusion of an IG. Senator Paul voted no.
The absence of an IG clearly evades any oversight rendering the 40 billion to essentially evaporate. The senators who voted yay on the bill should have their motives question IMHO.
With $40 Billion Secured, Zelenskyy Says Ukraine War Must be Solved Through Diplomacy and Negotiations
Why would Zelenskyy want a diplomatic solution now if, according to the western media and resident fanboi greg, his forces are having such stunning successes against the Russians? Perhaps there is something we are not being told? Perhaps the situation is very different and the weapons and money pouring in has been as ineffective as the billions of dollars and tons armaments that the US poured into Afghanistan? Perhaps the US senate needs a cost benefit analysis of the money given to Ukraine and every warmonger senator booted out?
This was never about defending Ukraine. Looking at how our illegitimate corrupt administration has been acting. It was always about the billions, the administration could keep giving the Ukrainian government, before even the corrupt media would start questioning the policy. The money laundering operation was becoming too obvious.
I wonder why the IG request by Senator Paul was left out of the 40 billion stolen from the American taxpayer. When the MAGA republican Congress is seated next January, there will need to be serious oversight into this theft of American taxpayers’ dollars.
