The republican senate leadership team held a press conference today announcing their support for the priority agenda of Joe Biden and the White House.
As Leader Mitch McConnell noted at the beginning of his remarks, “we all agree, the most important thing going on in the world right now is the war in Ukraine,” and with that statement McConnell announced he and Joe Biden have agreed to advance a massive package of $40 billion to pay the salaries and retirement benefits of the Ukrainian government.
Comrades, you must put aside any stress about how to afford groceries and still fill your gas tank, there are people in the government of Ukraine who need your tax dollars more. WATCH (45 seconds):
No gas money, no grocery money, no infant formula, no voting integrity…. Meh, no problem. We’ve got Ukrainians to support.

RINO’s will be RINO’s
Nothing says UniParty more than this.
Warmongers be warmongering.
They are the enemy. I don’t like saying that because in doing so I’m admitting that I live in the country of my birth that is no longer my country.
Hiraeth (pronounced “here ithe”)
” A Welsh word meaning a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past.”
Yes, that describes my feeling perfectly.
Good evening Betsy!
That is how I feel about the old Canal Zone, which was a Utopia of sorts, at least for kids.
I laugh because I actually can move to NZ, with less hassle than Hollyweirds…only I choose not to…wondering if I should rethink that one/s…
Hello, Aggiegirl. I’d give both a very wide berth if I were you. Reagan was right…no where else to move to. I remember when he said it, and I remember thinking then no worries.
But I was young and foolish and trusting…I’m none of those now. Blessings to you as always. B
Lovely, just lovely.
Thank you!
Mostly welcome my friend. God bless.
Most… Always welcome….
It’s a war that Russia will win. No doubt about that. NATO is hesitant and backing away while it will require many years for the EU to integrate Ukraine and Putin doesn’t care about the EU. So, pouring all that money into a lost country. Come November, voters will remember.
A commenter here a couple of days ago put me onto a very good site
THE SAKER
If anyone wants less propaganda and more news from the belly of the war beast, I’d suggest looking at this one. I leave it to each who visits it to make his or her own determination. Whoever runs it is an Orthodox Christian. With that, that I’ll leave that information here.
It’s one of “ my favourites” Betsy.
I check in each morning to see what is really going on.
I had never heard of it., which I realize means nothing. But I checked it out immediately. And like you, I shall be visiting it daily. Thanks, Dekester.
Moon of Alabama is also a good website for updates and commentary on geopolitics. I believe it’s run by a former military guy in Germany. He covers a lot on the Ukraine situation.
Thank you…I will certainly give it a look.
It’s one of my favorites for information about Russia and Ukraine. The man who runs it is of Russian descent, born in Switzerland. Yes, he is an Orthodox Christian.
What I like best about it is that they post entire transcripts of every important speech given by Putin, Lavrov, and other Russian officials. They have a team of translators, so it’s usually not machine generated translation.From these speeches, among other things, it is obvious that Putin is extremely well spoken.
You were the one who recommended it, jr. In a reply to someone else.
I thanked you at the time, and will happily do.so again here.
Thank you!
ofc as it is God’s plan….Russia has to be in the situation to gather the northern nations together for the march on Israel……Russia and the Slavic nations will align against God’s people
Always looking out for the most important people in their “world”, themselves.
I think that I hear the devil a calling, coming to collect his dues from those that have accepted his Faustian bargains.
Words don’t describe….
I have none
Actually, I have some, but I’m gonna spare the Admins…..
No I ll risk the admin I’m angry enough…F@CK these uniparty bastards. They all know the Ukraine has lost this war. They know regime change will not happen in Russia like they did in the Ukraine. Can anyone honestly point to a credible counter offensive by the Ukraine that has taken back any credible amount of territory from the ever growing area Russia controls? Kiev? Russia never wanted it. It was a feint to draw troops from the east and take out command control. F@CK these uniparty bastards.
G-D D–N ALL OF THEM!
As in, BURN IN HELL!
Vicky White is less of a criminal than they are.
And she’ll have a spot not as deep as these Judases will.
Who is Vicky White (sincere question)?
I think…female prison guard who snuck an inmate out and when they got caught in a crashed car chase, she committed suicide.. in today’s news.
Oh, okay; thank you! 🙂
oooh
innnteresting.
jeezwow
Yeah, if ever I feel guilty if I mess up at work or something, I think “hiLIARy lied before congress, and had people killed and threatened our national security and stole our tax dollars” so what I just did doesn’t seem that bad.
That’s odd. Where’s Elise Stefanik?
She’s in the House of Representatives
Wish she were in the Senate. She’s tough and principled.
This is the SenateGOP not the House. Stefanik is in the House.
A sleazy stain on the history of this country. These unprincipled grifters will go down in history as greedy, pathetic, traitors to America.
They all deserve the gallows
What they should be concerned about is the USA, they have absolutely no jurisdiction or authority over the world!
Zelensky must have the goods on all of them. Such sleaze.
Alli,
I have been telling all of my friends (on “both” sides”) that if zelensky was legit (and had his country’s best interests at heart), he would have set biden on fire with the Trump administration. Why can’t the people of Ukraine figure that out?
Because if we don’t bankrupt ourselves, Putin will win!!!
Ukraine is gubmint’s highest priority? It sure is! USG is in the midst of completing their biggest heist of taxpayers money to Ukraine where globalists launder all their evil and greed.
Any candidate that doesn’t campaign on the REPEAL OF THE 17TH AMENDMENT is (IMO) neither worthy of candidacy, nor my vote, nor my $$.
Full stop.
Best,
skipper
Amen. Everyone has to keep on that. And patriot act destroyed
“The most important thing going on in the world today is making sure that we get those military contracts flowing again so we can start getting our cut again! Was an awfully sparse couple of years when that damned peacenik was in the White House trying to rein in our international business dealings!”
There – fixed it for ya, Mitch! FMM!
Bingo
Does anyone remember the sitcom “designated survivor?”
I find myself wishing life would imitate art.
The slush fund must be disensed and distributed before the midterms so that the money can be spread around in an effort cheat some more…..
Un-frickin-believable…..
Dispensed…..
As long as we do NOTHING, expect more of the same.
Stop paying taxes, for starters. It makes us all complicit in the destruction of our lives, the lives of our children, our Nation and the world at large.
Can you imagine the fire we could start the world over if we found our Courage to act?!
Act by doing absolutely nothing for a week or two. Shut this mother down..
McConnel needs to go. Ukraine should not be bailed out by the American people, regardless of Russian aggression.
Will no one rid us of this troublesome senior Senator from Kentucky?
“Ukraine doesn’t need the $60 billion in taxpayers money I do. And may need more. Ukraine is where Soros launders it for me and my crew. Come on man! -Biden at his best
And THIS is one of the most absolute things, that fill so many of us with that COLD anger of which Sundance often speaks of! DAMN this man that throws OUR blood and treasure around at his leisure! A pox upon ALL of those that look at this evil one as a leader!
These people need to be turned yellow and blue.
Blue tar and yellow feathers?
That and some bruising from an accidental fall.
Blue in the face from no oxygen
Quartered
Anybody surprised?
Wish it were possible to kick mcconnell right in his turtle.
Mrs Lee keeps it in her purse.
If we keep electing politicians this is what we will get. STOP electing politicians and instead elect conservative activists.
There’s a lesson in this: the government globalists will support their globalist partners with no regard to those who pay the bill.
At least they know why we hate them so much.
These people are the enemy.
Be guided accordingly.
Scum bags, every last one of them. The war in Ukraine means nothing to me. The security of the USA means EVERYTHING to me.
This is the kind of thing that turns cold anger to hot anger. Although I’ve been at the hot level for awhile now
I’ve been calling my house and senate reps- I’m in SoCal- so they just be laughing at me- but still. I can’t just sit here and watch this
Tiffthis: Senator DiFi ChiSpy (D-Beijing) and Senator Alex Padilla (D-Mexico City) will get back to you as soon as they finish referring you to the FBI and DHS for investigation.
No baby formula? No gas money? No worries, that money is going to the Zman in Ukraine!
This has to be the most corrupt gang of thieves ever assembled in D.C. May a meteor strike that location soon!
Invasion from countries all over the world just a short drive from my home…… Nope, not important. Gotta’ take care of Ukraine.
.
No, no, no, Mitch.
You did not listen to everyone on this matter being everyone’s top concern:
The ‘intellect superior to you’, Janet Yellin, stressed today how important it was for teenagers, especially black girls, to be able to have abortions because they must endure the slavery of today’s economic advances, first, before they are worthy to bear children . . .
The corruption of other countries is more important then the invasion of our southern border ?
Is it more important then the over 100.000 Americans who die every year from fentanyl being brought in thru Mexico ?
Man these people are as corrupt and hate this country as much as the occupant of the WH and his puppet masters.
Disgusting, isn’t it? The Big Club has their own priorities, and they sure don’t represent Americans. We need a massive MAGA wave in November, with TRUMP at the helm, to root out the Corruptocrats and war-mongering Rinos.
I guess the EU has no money.
They do now.
Further proof, of how much better off, this country would be without politicians. They are of no value to this country and are only good for one thing, spending money that doesn’t belong to them, on made up trivial BS.
Stated differently…
McConnell announced he and Joe Biden have agreed to advance a massive package of $40 billion to pay the grift, salaries and retirement benefits of the corrupt American government.
Actually, the most important thing is election integrity which is something we do not have.
When the French people voted for a new president in April, they did so on a single day using paper ballots filled out in the privacy of official polling stations. France, being a normal First World democracy, takes election security seriously. Electronic voting machines are virtually never used. Mail-in voting has been banned nationwide since 1975 out of security fears. Voter rolls are regularly purged of the dead and those who have moved. It is a given that every French voter must show identification before being allowed to fill out a ballot.

May they all drink hemlock
Zelinnsky has made himself a dictator. He has banned all opposition parties just like a dictator. He has put all Ukraine media under his control just like a dictator.
Some would falsely say that the end justifies the means, but that depraved philosophy is at total war with that of our Founding Fathers.
Besides, he made himself a dictator before the invasion when he had political opponents arrested just like a dictator and shut down at least 3 TV stations just like a dictator.
I for one do not want to risk World War III with a nuclear power that has thousands upon thousands of hydrogen warheads for him. Maybe the Ukrainian people should overthrow him, their dictator.
He, like Fauci, is a false god and those who worship him are lost.
Sorry Foundling Fathers we have failed you something terrible.
Ukraine has many Bioweapons labs. Will Zelenskyy and Biden decide to release bioweapons?
Will that be ok with Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the RINO Cabal led by KevinMcCarthy and Mitch McConnell?
Another reason I will give one damn dime to the GOP. All those old hags in need to go, we need term limits.
Congress represents itself – not those who pay the bills: We the People.
“no infant formula”
Mothers of America!
It is your patriotic duty to starve your babies for Saint Zelinsky.
Things I care less about than the “war” in Ukraine:
1.
I really can’t think of anything.
This is just the start they’ll rip through this 40b like a 7 year old opening presents Christmas morning.
Really? No baby formula, gas $5 per gallon, runaway inflation, food shortages, broken supply chains. I could go on but it is hard to type, I am so pi^^ed. Hanging is to good for these traitors.
Russia isn’t our enemy. The United States Congress is!
The executive, legislative and judicial have become one cabal. There is no separation of power. Poof, gone! all the alphabet agencies along with all levels of government joined the cabal. Now multinational corporations and their globalists leaders are calling the shots to control us. psychopath greedy minions on their last act. It won’t end well for most including the evil ones.
At least they’re not doing it behind our backs. They’re standing proud and tall in front of the cameras and pissing in our faces….and then they’re laughing behind our backs.
Blackmail money.
UH
NOPE
Their BAGS of money are OUR money.
We say, no
no no no
Those Lockheed lobbyists have deep pockets.
“Border-schmorder”
What’s Bono’s cut.
Bono got $10M for the Ukraine gig. I heard they gave him a $100M retainer. He has 9 more Ukraine gigs left. Tour ends in November 2022.
“… there are people in the government of Ukraine who need your tax dollars more.”
Specifically, there are Ukrainian oligarchs and their servant class (both public and private sector) who you need to give a free ride. Ukraine has been a fake-democracy oligarch’s playground since at least the 2014 State Department-sponsored coup. We shouldn’t give a penny until every last oligarch has emptied their own coffers. Alas, it is also a Decepticon playground, so they are on board with giving away your money (as long as they get to feed at the trough, too).
Past time to vote the good for nothings out of office.
My chuckle for the day. Recall federal government and five state legislatures nulled our voice and dared us to do anything about it.
You can’t. The have even compromised the vote.
With Dominion still running the Elections? Fat chance. The ‘FIX’ is already in place. The push of a button and ‘Wahlah” we re-elected Biden. GOD help us. There is nowhere else to go.
