Senator Rand Paul has blocked a fast-track senate vote on the additional $40 billion funding package created by Joe Biden and House Democrats. Both Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell approved a fast-track vote; however, senator Rand Paul (KY) stood defiant against their effort.
Despite the high-profile pressure from the two Senate leaders, Rand Paul refused to move and that means the Senate will have to take procedural steps to overcome his objection, which could take several days. “My oath of office is the US constitution not to any foreign nation and no matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the United States of America,” Paul said in his remarks before objecting to moving to swift passage of the bill. “We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the US economy.” WATCH:
The $40 billion supplemental spending bill for Ukraine is more than the total military budget of Russia. The combined Ukraine aid packages now exceed $60 billion, more than the entire budget for the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security including border protection.
Rand Paul is on the right side of history with his position, and the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with him. However, the opinion of the people is irrelevant to the Senate. Even democrat Senator Chuck Schumer seemed to admit this point when he said Rand Paul’s position “was not the opinion of the overwhelming majority here,” meaning in the senate. Schumer would have used other terms if he thought the American people agreed with him. They don’t, and he knows it.
Regardless of when the JoeBama criminal regime created the food crisis and the baby food crisis, it is now front and center as a national defense and existential threat. Ukraine is NEITHER.
Russia has only in the last 30 years been a ‘threat’ to the globalist psychopaths, not to the world’s population and certainly not to the American people.
Ukraine is just a corrupt little playground for the profoundly immoral and anti-human scum who are presently at war against anything and everything good and positive in this world.
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
Also, Mark Levin is an obnoxious, loudmouthed chickenhawk coward and a very fake Constitutional scholar of dubious expertise.
He always.was..He betrayed President Trump during the election..following along behind..grandstander..Ted Cruz..I never watch..him..no matter what he is on..He is all into himself..He makes me sick..
So, I’m guessing that you don’t really like him, Spooky?
I can’t believe I was so enamored of Mr. Levin up until 3 years ago; I’ve always been behind the curve. But now I can’t stand to listen to Mark or Sean Levin and a myriad of others. What a different world we’d have post WW2 if we had concentrated on building democracy by example instead of coercion.
Same. Was a big fan of Levin. No more. No excuse supporting Nazi Azov Battalion of Ukraine.
Ukraine is a puppet state of the U.S. and NATO since 2014. So basically they’re sending the money to themselves. I guess that what money laundering is
I would add though that the Ukraine as it functions today is an instrument of the rogue state department and a money laundering hub making it a threat to the US in its current form. Regime change in Russia (am aim of the state department) is an extreme danger to the entire world. Giving the $40B to the Ukraine (and state department) will succeed in killing more Ukrainians and destabilize the region further by prolonging a war already lost by the Ukraine demonstrated by its inability to mount any credible counter offensive. Our own state department and pentagon cannot even commit to what a Ukrainian victory looks like or what direction it takes.
So after Congress and “the Big Guy” get their share the Ukrainian beaurucrats get the leftovers to send to their Swiss bank accounts for use when they must flee the country to avoid capture leaving nothing for those actually fighting the Russians. Got it.
Our gov. knows that Russia is gonna close the SMO pretty soon. Our gov. is grifting every billion that they can before they have to try to explain what happened.
This is the last chance to steal $40 billion from the American taxpayer and time is running out.
You hit the nail on head
They’re trying to grab every last dollar they can on the grift before they’re all corralled
Dirtbags..everyone of them that want this 40 billion give away to Ukraine..They have no morals whatsoever..They all need to go..that even thought about voting for this..McConnell ..is a piece of crap..
No, Dottie, $32 billion of the $40 is laundered and comes back in various firms, including donations, to the
dirtbags you describe. Ukraine….described by one writer as “playground for Congress”.
McConnell POS. Schiff on same level. John McCain had several open round trip tickets to KIEV. Yes, KIEV.
Spelled the old way. 5 trips a year??? Fact finding? Vacationing?? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Trunks full of cash.
and this “aid” package proves Sundance’s point that the GOPe and dims are 2 wings of the same bird. First bird with 2 left wings:-))
Next president should hold a forensic audit to account for every penny of that $40B and follow the money trail. Arresting scores of Congress members, lobbyists, and DC grifters is a great way to start to a presidency.
Mark, exactly what I believe. In fact, once the money stops in Jan 2023, the war may miraculously end.
Sorry “SMO”??? Acronyms to many, this one I don’t recall.
The MO means military operation. I forget what the S stands for. In other words, the Russians never called it a war. It’s always been a military operation.
Just looked it up myself. Stands for ‘Special Military Operation.’
Better be putting your money in gold and silver asap
Who is going to lug it around for you when the banditos are on your trail??
I’m going to get a mouth full of gold teeth
Carry Novocain then.
Or some clove oil, like Dustin Hoffman in the Marathon Man..
Or some crack cocaine like Hunter indulges in to dull his pain of being born into the Joe Biden Mafia family.
when people are hungry the are not going to sell you a bag of rice for .25 ounce of gold
They both are tanking
Gold and Silver are great put they have a cap. After all nobody eats an legible amount of gold except at those fancy restaurants. The question is what is tradable and transferable. If gold and sliver get too expensive then the masses will not want to trade in it. It is kinda like owning a Picasso or Rembrandt. You may think you are winning because you own it until you try selling it. Give me tradeeable assets any day.
Traders assets like salt, sugar, coffee, chocolate, cigarettes and booze.
greatest asset WORK!
small amounts of gold and silver are nice but lead is the best metal when it hits the fan – with it you can get cooperation of others to work for you and give you things.
Booze the currency of choice. Doesn’t even have to be “good stuff!”
🙂
And ammo..
My local liquor store (in Michigan we call them party stores) sells airline-sized bottles of liquor 5 for $5. They make great barter items!
Go to your local grocer.. suggest they start thinking of setting up customer accounts with payment in precious metals. There are many of us who are not going on the CCP digital currency with the vax mandate. Luckily, we have some privately owned markets here in Florida who are willing to start thinking about a parallel economy. They know it’s coming.
Whether it’s intelligence or morality; it seems Sen Rand Paul is THE ONLY PERSON IN WASHINGTON DC THAT REPRESENTS THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA!
We don’t want or need a war with Russia or anybody else!
From experience with Cuba; we understand Putin’s resistance to NATO encroachment!
The election WAS stolen, is provable, but those with law enforcement powers HAVE NO INTEREST IN PROSECUTION!
You are 1,000 percent correct.
Democrat Michigan Election Chief Says ‘2000 Mules’ Ballot Trafficking Allegations ‘Explained by Standard Election Practices
https://archive.ph/ZSZyr/again?url=https://www.theepochtimes.com/michigan-election-chief-says-2000-mules-allegations-are-explained-by-standard-election-practices_4461885.html#selection-1283.0-1283.123
If we do NOT correct the 2020 election fraud, there will NEVER be another fair election and dumbocrap aka communists own the country. Everyone of us needs to decide what hill we are willing to die on.
I agree but what can we do? All of our efforts are ignored or like the Jan.6 people, some who never entered the Capitol, have been silenced and are sitting in jail.
Rand Paul is ignored. President Trump is ignored and shunned. Conservative voices are shut down if they get too loud.
Our complaints to our State Reps are acknowledged with form letters filled with empty words that say nothing about our concerns or letters and calls are not acknowledged at all.
2000 Mules is just one of several avenues used to steal the 2020 election. I was VERY disappointed that the documentary didn’t even mention the electronic voting machines. I’m not saying they should have gone into detail, but they should have examined that evidence, too, and minimally said the Mules were just one of the approaches to election fraud, with evidence heavily indicating that machines were online and had been demonstrated hackable.

Yesterday Roy Chip was the Man of the Hour?
its just the Republican hero of the day
then he will fall back in line and follow orders
and the next one will pop out and mouth off
rinse repeat
Wrong..absolutely wrong..He has always walked his own walk..Rand Paul is the best thing up there..He has always been the anti war senator..He has been on the right train as long as I have followed him..When you are in the den of vipers would you be able to do the same..I seriously doubt it.!! Talk is cheap..Give kudos where they are deserved and he deserves it..
Hear! Hear! Spot on!
I think Rand Paul is a libertarian like his dad, running on a Republican ticket only because his party of choice isn’t a winning option. But Paul appears to have no allegiance to the Republican Party. We need to clone him and get rid of RINOs.
He was firmly on McConnell’s side when it came time to give Trump his recess appointments. It would have taken only one Senator to advance a motion to recess. “Bueller? Buelller?”
“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it!”
Rand Paul is a bit different in that he has already experienced actual physical attacks from the enemy within in this war between the globalists and the nationalists.
He is occasionally on the side of Americans but not always.
He was not representing the American people when he allowed S.386 to pass the Senate under unanimous consent. He was representing Filipina nurses for his paymasters.
Removing per country caps on Caste Indians & ChiCom visas brings wholly incompatible cultures into the country to eventually become citizens. There are billions of both of them & it’ll only take a few years before we are overwhelmed with incompatible cultures.
Where is the proof of that..? Show it!!
Rand Paul may be the only Senator, but 57 House Representatives stood up against this too. They deserve props as well.
The veil is gone, there is no question what Washington DC political class thinks of US.
57 voted against it in the house including Thomas massie. Not many I know.
Biggs, Godard and Lesko were part of 57. All from Arizona
My Rep, Barry Moore, from Alabama voted “NO” . I called his local office to thank him – they said they had hundreds of thank you calls.
Stauber in Minnesota voted against it. I was shocked.
MTG, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz. You don’t know them?
Jim Jordan voted against it, too.
Well don;t forget that during POTUS term Rand COULD HAVE allowed recess
appointments but he did not so…
He had an excuse at first that he didn’t know Pres. Trump well enough….but after he got to know Pres. Trump & the Mueller Report, Rand has no excuse. The same goes for Ms. Lindsey & so many other so-called “Republicans.”
Paul is far above Graham in watching out for the American people. But he is not perfect.
Absolutely spot on 100 percent..Rand Paul is the man..It is time we found out who is for us an who is against..us..Marjorie Taylor Green is a patriot also..an they are always belittling her..
Charge and prosecute them thieves, and you will out the corrupt politicians! And that is the reason for their lack of enthusiasm to do anything but ignore it.
With all the solid 2000 Mules data why can’t we, American voters, file a class action law suit against the election official who refuse to even look at the evidence?
Why are you asking the question? Why don’t you just go do it?
The same DC that lies to us about Global Warming, Covid, DJT, et al., are pushing us to defend the corrupt Ukraine government….
A few years ago according to DC, spending 4 billion to defend Americans from invasion at our own border was way too expensive.
Now according to DC, spending MULTIPLES MORE than that to defend one corrupt foreign country’s border from another corrupt foreign country’s invasion is not too expensive?
I think those in DC need to reread their job descriptions.
They need to get bent
I wonder what Squishy Ricky and Narco Lubio are thinking right now..
Foam Boy and Skeletor. I blistered their butts over not following directions. Can’t stand men who make their decisions on emotion like a school girl and not on reason, duty, and honor. F these two clowns.
Nancy could have sent the American people 40 billion by reducing their federal tax but she has another brilliant idea:

Gov. Newsom decided to throw out billions in taxpayers money:
An $18.1 billion package to help reduce the impact of inflation on California residents was put forward by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday. The proposal includes tax refunds to eligible vehicle owners, rental assistance, and money for hospital and nursing staff.
https://ktla.com/news/california/newsom-proposes-400-checks-to-help-with-inflation-says-minimum-wage-will-rise-to-15-50-in-2023/
More hair of the dog. Is newsom that idiotic?
Yes. He’s an absolute moron.
really ? ! I’m a widow in California living on a pension and SS and still I had to pay the State of California $520 out of pocket on tax day…so now he wants to give me $400 ? I’m still $120 in the hole. FK him.
Where was the (righteous) outrage when big gov’t instituted Social Security in the first place? Also, I DO BELIEVE it is a crime to finance criminal activity. That’s RICO law, isn’t it? Plus, I do believe Trump issued an E.O. re: funding human traffickers and human rights violators. Doesn’t virtually everybody on Capitol Hill qualify under both of these in some form or another? STOP. PAYING. TAXES. EVERYBODY! They want to starve us out and we need to return the favor. We need to fall back to our local towns and communities and barter with neighbors and defend each others’ lives and livelihood. It needs to again become an unwritten code if we are to weather this.
Funny how California was in severe debt with Trump as Prez—the money started flowing to them when Biden stole the seat. Now they are flush with taxpayers money from other states
Yeah Joe’s covid relief bills paid those states well to cheat and we paid for it.
Did California or any other blue state actually pay off their debt or did they just spend it on illegals, etc?
This will cause a massive gasoline supply shortage!
There’s already a shortage of diesel fuel. East coast is running out first. Should make the news in couple weeks.
This is slightly similar to “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” where Smith had to filibuster a despicable Bill proposal and the corrupt Senators despised him. The detestable Schumer/McConnell character was played by Claude Rains.
Livid “Ass Kissing” Levin’s tweet isn’t convincing. If the baby formula shortage pre dates the Russian invasion it makes the priority of the $40 Billion Ukraine Bill today even more reckless and unjust. The shortage became increasingly worse and finally reached the point that Levin’s FNC would report on it. To claim the prolonged shortage has nothing to do with federal funding is ludicrous. Federal funding priorities or non-funding decisions are a huge part of the Biden govt’s gross incompetence.
Levin is another fascist that hates an Orthodox Christian Russia but probably loved the old Soviet Union back in the 60’s. They all did!
Levin?
is that the loud mouthed guy who pretends to be a conservative
then he is behind the globalist issue of the day?
turned him off last year..
Another screaming lunatic.
Sundance pegged that loudmouth Levin years ago calling him “Old Yeller”. 🤣
let them take care of em safe,
we. don’t have $40 Billion for Ukraine,
we need take care of our problems right here right now and our country,
All I can say is
Make Lamp Post Ornaments Great Again !
5 + months out from retirement and I’m watching my hard earned retirement 401k go down the toilet.
I hate this administration with every fiber of my being.
We are already retired and on a fixed income… Our retirement savings were conservatively invested but have still tanked. Once inflation is factored into the calculations, our whole financial future has gone from “comfortable” to “concerning” and I am frankly expecting “chilling” by the end of the year.
And sadly, I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, even if the Republicans re-take the House in November. I have no faith in our election system and less than no faith in the GOP leadership!
Sorry to be such a Eyeore but that’s where my heart is at these days…
I will pray for you. And everyone in the same predicament.
God bless you Viking Mom and God be with and bless your family during these troubling times.
Thank you for the prayers Gar and Logboom…we will be okay and I know there are MANY in far worse predicaments than we are. My hope is not in this world (good thing!) but selfishly, I was kind of hoping for a few years to travel, to visit beautiful places, and to visit family around the world. My husband had a very stressful job for over 30 years and this was definitely NOT the retirement that we were expecting!
“LORD, we do not know what to do. Our eyes are on You!” II Chronicles 20:12
I am in the same position as you.
Paying just double from two years ago?? What’s the big deal? SS will give you another 4% next year.
Every fiber, me too. Retired 12/20.
Lindsey Graham must be pissed right now. Which makes the effort worth while even when it fails to stop ultimate passage.
So is Nasty Nanxi, mittens and joetato..
God Bless Rand Paul.
I just wonder if Schumer, McConnell and the rest of the traitors controlling the levers of government understand they are sitting on a powder keg about to blow.
The American citizens are fed up with this nonsense. People are coming out of their homes to voice their opinions and to run for local office.
They are doing their best to keep the majority asleep, but they are failing. If people had clear path to throwing this illegitimate regime out, I think there would be a march on DC. The only restraint right now is we are a law respecting, law abiding populace, but they are pushing us too far.
But we can be law-abiding and still throw the bums out – we have been given that authority by the Bill of Rights.
We can still burn them out of house and home. They can all corral up in DC apartments/offices.
Has that attacking neighbor of his moved away? Rand better hire a lawn service, and stay in the house.
This is the public burning down the phone lines in McConnells office. None of this stuff is accidental.
Rand Paul’s corollary on the D side is Manchin.
Rand Paul’s corollary is Ron Paul.
Ron retired!
Interesting the lady is the Democrat Senator for Nevada, and is up for re-election. Time to send her another letter saying her voters agree with Senator Rand Paul.
Thank God SOMEBODY is standing up to the uniparty scum. A lot of Republicans need to be fired right now for going along with this Biden administration idiocy.
As goes lumber and log prices, so goes generally everything else.

Mark Levin is wrong in supporting Ukraine. Very wrong.
Hey mark, a lot of $$$ is going to the AZOV NAZI battalion.
As long as AZOV is killing Russians I don’t think Levin cares who they are.
Is he of Ukrainian heritage like so many public personalities pushing the US into a Slavic conflict centuries old and never our problem???? Chalupa, Vindman, and Noodleman all are. I have only ever known one Ukrainian-heritage man. His Anglicized last name ended in -stuk. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Glory to Ukraine- Bono
Slava Z. Heh heh heh.
Orthodox Christians use SLAVA only to our Lord God. No glorifying anyone else. Amin..
Yes but Biden is just getting started
And the unelected Marxist government we’re suffering under just loves all of it. The left has been dying to be in this position for decades and they aren’t wasting a minute to send this country into ruin every way they can think of.
Bastards. I would love to see the same aimed at them. I think it is time, they ruined so many countries. You reap what you sow. As the saying goes pay back is a bitch. I pray for Russia and her people, the leader that is with and for them, that being President Putin. Gospode Boze pomiluj.
Why not just ask those who get the kick backs to explain how much they get, and then eliminate the Ukrainian middlemen? We would save billions. When almost nobody admitted what they get, we could save the whole lot.
Can we please instate a no confidence vote on this turd Biden? Why do we have to suffer 2 more years!
Good hope it’s not just for show
Sen. Dr. Rand Paul, a GREAT AMERICAN.
Mitch McConnell is being blackmailed.
That is the best explanation for his behaviour in this instance.
Turtle sold his soul years ago to the CCP….aboutt the same time he married his Chinese wife
I realize now mark levin, like so many of these media “ conservatives “ is a horse’s ass . People can disagree without calling everybody who is not all in on Ukraine a “Putin ass kisser “ -totally uncalled for by Levin . And it certainly makes you wonder why all the elites of both parties are such total Ukraineaics ? sort of like BLM deja vue ? …
We just have to come up with our own names. A high-heel-Zelensky a** kisser? A Zelensky puppet popper? A Totemkopf tripper? I’m sure we can come up with better names for these ridiculous warmongers.
Where were Ted Cruz and John Cornyn? I really appreciate Rand Paul but I want to know where my senators are on this issue. We are all sick of this giving away of American money. It is not the congressman’s money it is our country and our money. I am thinking, some, if not most, of this money is going into the bank accounts of the people voting to sent it to the Ukraine.
I am sure Cornyn is in favor….he hasn’t seen a bribe he doesn’t want to be a part of yet
Nice to see a few of the Conservatives have nutsack!
Paul always takes the high road, the others not so much
Can’t say ALWAYS, just many times.
This is nothing but a giant scam. Eastern and Southern Ukraine are now a permanent part of Russia and it doesn’t matter if we pi$$ 40 billion or $400 billion down that corrupt, hopeless rathole, it won’t change anything. They probably know that and still don’t care.
God bless Senator Paul for at least making the swamp rats squirm a little.
This is one of ..the few..actually looking after the people..I love this man and if I could vote for him for president I would..but him and Trump were good friends and still are..I am just blown away at the courage of this man..Just love him..!!!
Russia just put out an expose’ on the bio-labs in Ukraine. There were democrat party campaign funding monies involved.
Maybe now they can give us a deep dive on the kickbacks to our congress critters. The Russians probably have the receipts on that too.
This needs to be shoved in the faces of Congress members who benefited.
Well their plan is to totally discredit all the Russians and they’ve made Putin into an evil maniac who wants to conquer and enslave the free world.
That way when evidence is shown, they’ll create a lot of noise and nobody will want to hear what the Russian say because it’s all lies. They project their evil deeds onto others and this is their game to cover their crimes and treason.
Schumer is the most execrable, vile sh*tsack in the Senate.
Change my mind.
He’s right, you know.
Again.
To-date, 60 billion has gone to Ukraine w/o a congressional vote…. I still have to ask who’s blackmailing who, especially w the cache of bio weapons labs / docs seized by Russia… no wonder CCP Mcconnell’s DC mailbox is full.
So out of 50 “republican” senators, Rand Paul is the only one taking an action other than to approve this. A few GOP senators in tight upcoming races may be allowed to vote against it for campaign purposes knowing full-well it has no chance to fail overall. The money is as good as spent.
I wonder how many GOP senators and congressmen, their families, staffs, consultants, even media gasbags will be getting a piece of all this Ukrainian “aid”? The Ukraine is nothing but an international aid money laudering operation and has been for many years. They scrub it and redistribute it for even more aid. Just ask Biden Inc.
They are all in on it and, Mark Levin is not a serious person. He’s a Carnival Barker….
One of my Senators had a $21,000 donation to his campaign from Raytheon. He’s all for supporting brave Ukraine against the evil Putin.
So the money is basically going back to them, the senators and representatives. Taken from the tax payers, given to Congress. Nice little scheme they’ve got going while Americans go hungry.
The proxy war doesnt seem to be going well for the Ukraine. If the ruskies secure their objectives before the $$$ is alloted, what then? Im sure the MSM will make something up.

God bless Rand Paul
Here, here Rand. Probably won’t matter but throw a wrench in it when you can.
The majority of these people don’t work for the American people, that much is obvious.
What’s Mark Levin saying? You’re Putin lover if you don’t like to see your country being raped financially?
Love me some Rand- he really comes through sometimes.
A valiant people fighting against authoritarianism and for democracy.
Sen. Schmuck of NY, you talking bout J6ers? The American gulag that you support with your authoritarian policies?
From @jamiedupree’s twitter:
“Schumer & McConnell offer Rand Paul a vote on his plan for special oversight of Ukraine aid. Paul doesn’t want a vote – he wants it in the bill.
Paul objects to an immediate vote on the Ukraine aid package. That could well delay it until next week.”
So Paul wants oversight written into the bill if Dupree is accurate. That disappoints me. I want Paul to outright nix the $$.
Campaigned for his dad in 1988.
The man of the Hour. There is always hope if one good man will stand up against evil.
Thank you for putting the brakes on, Senator Paul. We have other problems far more critical – the money laundering can just wait.
hey, $40 billion here, $40 trillion there, $666 mega trillion everywhere. american colored paper with pix of dead white guys on it. fiat money based on the full faith of lets go brandon. when the music stops will those trillions and mega trillions be worth as much as Monopoly money? will a trillion brandons buy 10 lbs of flour?
Great for starting a fire
…or making a trouser patch, or lighting a fire if you have a match, or making a bunny a paper collar…
Worked for Pablo Escobar.
Putin described US dollars as candy wrappers. He may be a murdering thug but at least he got that right.
don’t “candy wrappers” usually have candy inside?
He’s not a “murdering thug.” Certainly not any more than any of our own elected officials. He does seem to truly care about the Russian people. At least that’s what comes through in his speeches. Read them at the Saker. They’re all posted there.
I have one of his speeches. It was about the duty of immigrants to learn and speak the Mother tongue.. When I first read it, I thought an American statesman wrote it. Then I realized it was Putin’s and was his about pride in Russia. I felt bad we don’t have a leader like that, and now we have Biden, a dribbling fool and Globalist traitor.
We used to have a leader like that. That leader didn’t just start killing because they disagreed with him.
I can think of many others that are murdering thugs across the globe, but ya Putin is the only one. bs. I trust President Putin a hell of a lot more than the evil American Government. Amen.
That’s where I’m at.
We would be better off with a stable currency like Venezuela’s.
Which one? The American dollar? That’s the one (unofficially) moving Venezuela’s real economy in the last few years, based on money laundering at a giant scale. The bolivar (Bs.) was killed by HYPERINFLATION (beware America!) and is, in fact, just a monetary unit the criminal regime uses for accounting purposes… and because there is no formal agreement with the Federal Reserve for using the dollar.
Not likely.
In order to use said toilet tissue, you’ll have to acquire it first. Then, pay taxes on it.
Part of the ploy is that obtaining the stuff in the first place to restore the value of the devalued stuff you may have is going to be harder and more regulated.
At this point I’d be adding “Let’s go McConnell” as well. HE supported fast tracking this obscenity.
RINO’s got to go! Heat up the tar. I’ll get the feathers and you get the rails.
He’s compromised. He is in on all the money laundering too.
I think the stock market is going to crash big time. My husband thinks to March 2020 levels of about Dow Jones 17000. Some think to 2009 levels of about 8000.
It has a downward trajectory but seems artificially propped up maybe to give the big investors a chance to get out before the crash.
If you cannot afford to do all those things, you need to be out of the market now. Just sayin’ . IMHO.
… Or short the living snot out of the index.
Gonna go the way of crypto (which is so deep in the tank I can’t even see its little pink hands waving for help).
The Russians aren’t “Soviets”. Most of them never were, in their hearts. The USSR no longer exists. The bolsheviks who overthrew the White Russian Czar in 1917 were Khazars and they exist to this day – especially in Ukraine. They also became the Nazi’s in Germany in the 1920s.. and today they are all over the world, especially in Israel, masquerading as Jews. Khazars adopted jewish identities and religious rituals in the 8th century A.D. to avoid being wiped out by neighboring nations because they were despised for practicing blood sacrifices and satanism.
Putin is a Russian nationalist first. True communists (Khazarian bolsehviks) hated the Russian Orthodox (Christian) Church; Putin defends it as a priority. That’s another reason he went after the evil godless Khazars (Nazis) in Ukraine who were persecuting and killing Russian orthodox Christians in the Ukraine eastern provinces (aka the Donbas – Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic).
Well said.
If you want to know the ugly, bloody truth of what’s been going on in Ukraine for more than one hundred years, checkout thepostil dot com. This is a very scholarly on-line imprint of St. Augustine Press. The pieces here are written by people with impeccable military, diplomatic, and academic credentials, but they are not a quick nor easy read.
Also check out articles and op-eds recently published on rt dot com, which of course is partly sponsored by the Russian government but which publishes material written by authors all over the world. They recently published a piece detailing the gruesome violence of this place in gruesome detail. It hits very hard.
The ancient history of this region is not “nice,” and by the way Zelenskyy is also not a “nice” man, no matter how the West tries to dress him up and parade him around as though he was “a Westerner.” If you want to learn about things that you never knew nor suspected, you can do so if you just know where to look.
Thank you, GB Bari. I wish more people would understand the true facts.
