This is getting seriously out of hand. On top of the $14 billion already appropriated for Ukraine assistance, Joe Biden is now asking for a supplemental budget allocation of an additional $33 billion for Ukraine. Good grief, that’s almost $50 billion in aid, plus the billions in distributed weapons.
Biden is asking for U.S. taxpayers to fund the budget, salaries and pension obligations of the Ukraine government. Biden made his request in a letter [SEE HERE] to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
[…] “I am writing to provide you with my request for fiscal year (FY) 2022 emergency supplemental funding for critical security and economic assistance to Ukraine.
I appreciate the Congress’ continued bipartisan support for Ukraine, NATO, and other partner countries affected by Russia’s War in Ukraine. My Administration is committed to providing the Ukrainian people the assistance they need. Our assistance to date has made a difference on the battlefield, helping Ukraine win the battle for Kyiv.
This $33.0 billion request for additional funding and authority builds on the Congress’ supplemental appropriation of $13.6 billion on March 15, 2022, and seeks to address immediate and near-term security and economic needs. Additional security assistance will put urgently needed equipment into the hands of Ukraine’s military and police, including ammunition, armored vehicles, small arms, demining assistance, and unmanned aircraft systems.
Economic assistance will provide Direct Budget Support to provide rapid, flexible funds to assist the Government of Ukraine.” (read more)
Joe Biden wants U.S. taxpayers, those who are struggling to pay our own bills, to fund the government of Ukraine? In case anyone is not up on current events, we are broke.
The entire GDP of peacetime Ukraine was like US$40 billion.
Corruption at it’s finest.
“This is getting seriously out of hand.”
Remember ROFLMAO….make sure group like blantifa understand how much the Dems love whitey Lololol. 😆
Should we try calling our Senators and Representative and ask them to vote no? This is out of control. I have Portman, Brown, and Gonzalez!
We are the rubes because we are paying taxes on our labor for currency that’s printed out of nothing. The politicians are paid off to keep the scam running
My senators and congresscritters, all but one dems, will give their bipartisan enthusiastic support, no doubt.
Norseamerican: I’m in CA. My senators are DiFi ChiSpy (D-Beijing) and Alex Padilla (D-Mexico City), and my Congresscritter is Karen Bass (D-Havana). I e-mailed all of them, yesterday, about the out-of-control Ukraine funding situation. I’m regular pen pals with all three of them. They always send me nice form letters, acknowledging my concern and telling me to take a hike.
I used to get those pen pal letters from Cantor.
I taught Cantor’s kids. We went to the same synagogue. I bumped into him at a victory party for Bob McDonnell. I asked him, when are you going to be a fiscal conservative? He told me to talk to his PR girl. I was like, Seriously Eric??? I supported and campaigned against him. He was really upset with me and won’t speak to me anymore. Sorry not sorry.
If he could be taken out by the Tea Party, so can McCarthy.
Ditto. My congress rep is Pramila Jayapal, and senators are Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, all uber leftists. There is no hope, and yes, they always send nice little form letters that are written so that they can respond to every issue, every vote, with the same banality without ever having to change a word in the letter.
We are in the same boat when it comes to CantDoWell and Tennis-Shoe Patty. One is a clueless idiot and the other is well…I have respect for the other readers on here so won’t call her what she really is. Trying to call their offices is pointless, I have more success talking to my cat. As for Jayapal, you have my sincere condolences. At least we have Newhouse (sarc)!
WOW! You must be special! “The girls”, Patty and Maria only reply to me on the years they are running for re-election. I guess I’m just easy to ignore. My Congress Critter has an “R” after her name but she can always be counted on to support the Dems but at least she is a reliable penpal.. (Cathy McMorris Rodgers)
This points up the ultimate challenge: It is the VOTERS who are the problem, not the elected officials, as they can’t get elected without dimwitted, ill-informed morons voting them into office.
They are silent.
Silence is compliance.
Why only a handful of Repub reps fighting for We the People: Marjorie TG, Matt Gaetz, Chip Roy, and a very few more.
Which senators are vocal and strident against this?
Of course.5 time a day!!
YES. Call all your Senators.
The House Repubs all voted “NAY” on this Bill.
See Roll Call votes, below.
Should add : House Dems ALL voted “YEA”.
NAY= 205 votes> ALL Repub
YEA = 220 votes> ALL Dem.
See the Fiorella Isabel tweet thread, below.
It’s safe to vote NAY when you know you will lose.
It’s a GREAT way to appear conservative while avoiding offending your actual owners, the lobbyists who fund your campaigns.
How do more people not get that?
I wrote to my 3 yesterday, and again today to one of them–who had the gall to send a fundraising email to me today.
They are not speaking out against this money flow!
Not one has answered me yet.
They are two Repubs and a Dem.
I have same S&R’s. Don’t waste your time, I get the same PR double talk with every contact made. It will get passed if blue dog dems don’t start barking.
Act accordingly.
That’s a funny one
yeah do that see how that’s works out.
MSM says republicans signaled their support. I am getting really out of control angry!
I wonder if it is going to be the usual traitors- Romney, Murkowski and Collins? Or are the majority of GOP Senators going to go all in for the MIC?
Either way, we pay.
It will be 98% of them. Just think of this as the cash cow that keeps giving back. The kickback on this revenue must be unimaginable sums of money, who would want this to stop?
The destroy our nation administration just keeps on rolling.
As a farmer I know what happens when the teats go dry! So they are milking here for all that’s left!
Kickbacks to the Swampster Traitors, democRats and rinos.
Rope is the only solution for DC. Make the knots tight.
One last HUGE TAKE for Joey and the First Skank, plus Hunter, et al. I really despise these creatures.
The majority, if not all, of the GOP will be going all in.
Otherwise its bad form to be labeled anti Ukraine and be considered Pro Putin.
Right?
All the House R’s voted against this today.
Yes, because Nina and her new Ministry of Truth will hunt you down with their weapons for spouting “disinformation”.
They’ve been doing it for 15+ years already. The new agency just formalizes it, taking it off the black budget.
Those traitors think they will be better off when they destroy our country. Somehow they will rise above the calamity. Really, you’d think these egomaniacs would realize they are nothing without the real economy that they destroy at every opportunity (covid, nafta, china favored nation, free trade meaning offshoring). They are horrible.
None of it matters, this is all should be water under the bridge EXCEPT: Putin along with BRICS can wreck our dumb money printing asses. The West is in a pickle with little good options. Escalate the war effort and hope Putin fails (not gonna happen). Or really escalate things (dangerous as hell). Fold and prepare for TPTB to lose it all. The last option is my fav but I have to be candid it’s going to be a grinder over here for most of us. But that’s the price of living life inside the looking glass.
Evidently, someone has an obligation to fulfill to the Ukrainian leaders.
Wait until the rebuild! Build Back Better with American money. Ukraine will be a model country. I wonder if the idea isn’t to get Russia to demolish all of Ukraine and then Zelinsky pulls off a win so rebuilding the playground of US politicians and their families can begin.
Ukraine will be the next major arms dealer as soon as Afghanistan, completes the liquidation of our military might we left behind.
The only way the Commies are going to have the money for BBB is to sell Alaska, Hawaii, the military and the TX-OK oil fields to China. If that’s not enough, they will have to sell the Great Lakes to the Arabs
Unfortunately that’s very close to the plan. Russia gets Alaska, Nevada goes to Chinese mining companies, and West Coast states along with Hawaii become Chinese territories.
One of Poland’s most prominent journalists, Konstanty Gebert, said he is quitting what many regard as the country’s newspaper of record after it demanded that he describe Ukraine’s controversial Azov Battalion as “far-right” instead of “neo Nazi.”

Posted from another blog:
Corruption influences the growth of arms deliveries to Ukraine. Incoming equipment and weapons from foreign countries and private donors are mercilessly sold off. Everyone – from privates to generals – steals. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence is distinguished by large-scale theft: They have streamlined the sale of incoming military aid from NATO.
We see a well-established system of reselling incoming arms shipments to Ukraine, including equipment, vehicles, armoured vehicles and lethal weapons, to third countries. This explains the demonisation of Russia using numerous fakes and provocations and the deliberate prolongation of the conflict. The information veil covers the business.
Obviously, the situation suits the West, as it allows the NATO member-states to get rid of obsolete weapons, primarily of the Soviet model. It is worth recalling that Vladimir Zelenskiy primarily emphasises the demands on Soviet-made tanks and aircraft, which are “gathering dust in warehouses” in Eastern Europe.
Obsolete army equipment subject to modernization or complete recycling is being sold to Ukraine – it would be naive to believe that this aid is gratuitous.
The West profits from this in three ways: selling arms, saving on the disposal of decommissioned facilities and writing off funds allocated by the West itself to Ukraine for armament and humanitarian aid. The arms trade is the most lucrative business, and it is unreasonable to expect that the rapidly losing Kyiv officials will give up their last chance to enrich themselves at the expense of armed conflict before fleeing.
Need another Nazi-hunting org, to surreptitiously track these criminals, like the Nazi hunters of old, and give them their just desserts.
“What could the continual standing presence of over a million active US service personnel, many forward deployed at over 700 military bases in over sixty countries around the globe, do but invite the involvement of the United States in every conflict around the world forever?”
Joseph M Solis-Mullen says, “the hawks want you to think we’re in perilous danger but that’s only true because they continually put us there.”
Excellent article here. A brief read full of useful info and points.
https://mises.org/wire/where-truth-hidden-debating-current-state-us-armed-forces
Great blog.
I implore everyone to read all three parts of this article. It literally explains everything we are seeing play out, and how it happened.
https://mises.org/power-market/how-west-was-won-counterinsurgency-psyops-and-military-origins-internet-part-3-war-over
Nailed it
Can someone please post the pic of Lindsey Graham and other US posing with Azov? I thought i had it:(
Thanks
This one?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/01/john-mccain-russia-vladimir-putin-ukraine-georgia
Yes thanks so very much
So this is the cost of putting NATO missile batteries on the Ukraine-Russia border? A productive country bombed to a stop, thousands dead, most Ukraine citizens became refugees, world-wide food & fertilizer shortage, a Russia-China partnership formed, our Petroleum-Dollar put at great risk and Obama/Biden now wanting $33 BILLION MORE!
THIS IS POLITICAL SUICIDE OF AMERICA! OUR POLITICIANS ARE PSYCHOPATHS!
You mean political murder. The psycopaths want us broke and under their thumbs, if not dead.
It just hit me. They want *THIRTY-THREE* billion more of our hard-earned dollars? Who exactly is wanting this *THIRTY-THREE* billion bucks? This number happens to be very significant to the secret society cult members. Highly suspect.
Why are we now paying their bills?
Because they insist, and what are we going to do about it?
Because the Ukes have the goods on the Biden Crime Family and UNIPARTY SELLOUTS
Because Joe Biden is OWNED by the Ukrainians. >>> Which means WE are owned by the Ukrainians for as long as Biden and the Dems are in power.
Why are we handing out free iPhones to illegals released into the interior?
Is Hunter’s salary included in that?
F this clown!!
Claw back the Uke Olagarchs loot
If not his salary, a tidy commision.
This is so Fd up
Yup….exactly as it is meant to be.
FUBAR at its finest.
Plus 10% for the Big Guy…
And Congress is going right along with it ever stoking the flames of inflation.
The Democrats are going along w/ it. Not the Repubs. They all voted against it today.
I do not want my hard earned money going anywhere without accountability and a firm repayment plan. The US does not have that kind of money to throw at another country. Maybe the Biden crime family can send their own money to any country they feel is deserving.
When we are talking in Trillions what’s another 30 or 50 billion? It’s nothing!
$50 Billion for Ukraine.
$5 Billion for the Big Guy.
Seems fair.
Zelensky owns a $35 M estate in Florida a $3M seaside estate in Italy and has over $1 Billion in bank. Grifter con artist
Also a cross-dressing clown.
Serial talent.
The UK just granted him citizenship, so he will probably have his own castle on isle somewhere.
Could we buy some Used Equipment from the Taliban? Seriously, the arms come from our own military, stockpiles?, or from ???
DemocRats are Marxist Seditionist Maggot Traitors so the fact that we’re already bankrupt is just icing on their Bolshevik cake.
Hush money
Exactly.
But it isn’t really because most people that follow global politics already know. The only thing I don’t know is where they plan to hide out to remain safe when the SHTF.
Think of it like this, when thieves go to the trouble of breaking into a house, are they are not going to steal everything that isn’t nailed down before they leave?
The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : $4 Billion and Counting: the DC War Machine Feasts on Ukraine
VERY GOOD ARTICLE. IF THIS WAR CONTINUES IT COULD ESCALATE TO THE POINT WHERE OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS COULD END UP BEING SLAUGHTERED ON SOME BATTLE FEILD.WITH THE MILITARY ALLIANCE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA THE INDUSTRIAL MIGHT OF CHINA ALONE WILL WIN ANY CONFLICT. THE OCEANS THAT SEPARATE US MAKE NO DIFFERENCE TO THE WAR MACHINES OF TODAY.
He’s thinking too small.
Michael Yon believes that DC is contemplating an overwhelming nuclear first strike.
He’s not given to hyperbole and was correct in his assessment that Russiya would invade.
This sh*tshow Bill did not get ONE R vote. in the House.
It passed w/ all Dem votes.
So please stop w/ the “all the Rs are in on it BS” and call your R Senators and let them know how you feel before it gets to the Senate.
Here’s the Roll Call:
Dems= 220 YEAS
Repubs = 205 NAYS
Our problem is we have a Dem controlled Congress that is all in on covering for Biden’s crimes.
The criminal cabal and Uniparty are laying their nest egg before MAGA takes over.
There will not be any accounting of any funds given to Ukraine.
lol 33 billion lol… Who dares ask us for 33 billion? That’s quite a mark. We either pay up and keep it going or we don’t in which case Russia (BRICS) change the currency. This will screw the hegemony and it ain’t pretty.
So my friends are best suited to prepare for this. I need like minded people to survive. We all do. God Bless all of you and get ready to do your best for your families.
Isn’t “33” a favorite secret society number??
“The big guy” is making a killing. Probably asking 15%
Stop with the Jew-hate. You may hate Jews, but at least be honest about it.
And study some history. The Khazars disappeared about 950 AD. There is so little left of the their Kaghanate that not even the best historians can definitively say whay happened to them.
Kagan-ate. Kagan, like Elena on the SCOTUS? Is that surname a relic of the ostensibly disappeared kingdom? It’s not hate to recognize things for what they are, Missy. It’s foolish to refuse reality for fantasy.
The Khazars were not originally Jewish. They originated in and around modern day Turkey. They turned to Judaism out of convenience. They also did not disappear. The scumbag Rothschild’s are Khazars, they and their kind give good Jewish people a bad name. I am very much pro Jewish (I myself am not Jewish) but I have a vastly different opinion of Khazars.
I wonder if all this is simply bribe money to keep everyone quiet? There may be so many, to Arkancide them would be too obvious. And there probably are so few honest ones, you just payoff all of them.
Yes. That’s exactly what it is.
That should be a down payment for the keys to the Ukraine…have Zelinsky sign over the county next week. Where are the Republicans?
Read the Roll Call. (above)
All Repubs voted against it. ALL Dems voted for it.
Get somebody smart to do a “title theft” deal on Zelenskyy’s Miami house, mortgage it to the hilt ($30M or so), and shell the money out to decent vets orgs.
FVZ!
Ukraine has been running an international money laundering system since 2014. The Biden’s Romney, Pelosi, Kerry and others have been heavily involved in underhanded dealings in Ukraine. The Biden regime is simply protecting the financial interests of numerous scumbags, Biden included. We get to pay the bills so they can continue laundering their dirty money.
US unfunded liabilities are $200 trillion. Ukraine project not going so well but the kleptocrats that Brandon knows well (takes one to know one) are going to loot whatever they can under the guise of aid to Ukraine. I guess we have unofficially declared war on Russia. Thank you Blinken, Nuland, et al.
I suggest you all read Matt Bracken’s short story, “What I Saw at the Coup”. Not long, very well done, and a blueprint for the future. Just as applicable today as when he wrote it 10 years ago…
https://www.americanpartisan.org/2020/09/bracken-what-i-saw-at-the-coup/
Need lots of those anonymous bringers of justice with good scopes and stealth skills.
Well, they did pay for Jill’s kitchen appliances. Paybacks a hitch.
This is nuts. Why do we owe any aid to Ukraine? The Biden crime family is probably getting a big chunk of that US tax payer money.
Tell me again why we are not revolting?
Say what you want about parliament, but they have a no confidence vote to remove degenerates like biden cabal before they gut the country. Now biden cabal knows they are toast so they will steal and destroy at spectacular levels for 2 more years. Might just get us blown up in the process too. All participants in cabal biden need to be chased to Argentina like their forefathers.
That’s 33 thousand new millionaires. Are you in the club?
Note that DC, northern Virginia, and Maryland are doing fine. Remind me what do they create?
Oh, I missed that we have 33 billion degrees of new world order. These Eh holes love their symbols.
I wonder what would happen if every hard working, patriotic, tax paying citizen just decided to declare themselves exempt on their federal taxes for say, two months. All 80 million plus of us. Just open an escrow account and put what you’d normally pay to the IRS out of your paycheck each month in so the money would be there when you decided to switch back.
Two words – MONEY LAUNDRING
“How much longer are we, the UNTIED Citizens of these UNTIED States going to take this crap?” she wailed to no one in particular, and everyone in general, as she drooped across the grave of her sailor.
Let’s demand Joe & Hunter, their luggage & computers be weighed before OUR tax money is delivered to WWIII THEATRE before and after money’s paid out.
Should be a 10% gain afterward if transaction is as legitimate as their others.
LUDICROUS!
Not another dime!
Every CONgress creep that votes to fund this far away war and support this is a traitor to the people of this nation.
“We can talk all night but that ain’t getting us nowhere…”
It’s obvious to me this White House, this Congress ain’t gonna stop.
They have no intentions of stopping the bleeding.
And they won’t be no end until we the people stop the bleeding ourselves.
And if we don’t we’ll eventually bleed out become another one of those those impoverished places we denigrate so often.
We’re bleeding to death the Biden /Obama traitors must removed.
At this point it’s way to late for voting, getting on school boards, making friends with the local sheriff, etc.
I’m doing what I can but I’m really waiting for an igniting of the anger that’s I sense seething in common patriot.
Biden never does anything unless it’s idiotic.
“Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.” – Barack Obama
Ron Paul is right. This NATO-concocted war is a complete scam. All those people are dying so the greedy, power-hungry cabal can scrape off more money for THEMSELVES. Not for governments or anything like that. It’s for THEMSELVES and their mansions, jets, etc.
Endless amounts of money for illegal invaders, here’s a new cellphone! Come right on, here are all your free benefits!
No money to secure our border, but billions to secure the Ukraine’s border!
Our country is bankrupt and broken, and these diabolical Marxists are giving away money on a fool’s errand.
I think they will pass this on a voice vote, since none of them want it to be revealed that the US has an extensive bio-weapons program in Ukraine right now. This is why Zelensky gets to demand more and more money. Congress needs to cover for its Deep State masters, once again. I hate the US Government in its current configuration, but I am reasonably sure I will have to learn to live with it. Obama thinks he is the head sock puppet master in charge and he may be. Did I mention that I hate that Communist more than any of the rest of them.
