Picking up checks from congress along with some supplemental Christmas shopping likely a high priority. Because, why not.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be in Washington DC on Wednesday to deliver a speech to a joint session of congress and visit with Joe Biden at the White House.
WASHINGTON DC – President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine intends to make a surprise visit to Washington on Wednesday, the first time the leader has left his war-torn country since Russia invaded 10 months ago.
Zelenskyy’s plans to address a joint session of Congress and at the White House as the Biden administration plans to announce the delivery of a Patriot missile battle system to help Ukraine with its air defenses, according to two people familiar with the plans but not authorized to publicly discuss them because of security concerns.
The trip is not certain to happen, the people cautioned. Zelenskyy was still in Ukraine on Tuesday evening, and there are concerns about his ability to leave his country and then return again.
His visit to Washington would come as Congress is on the verge of passing another $45 billion in assistance to Kyiv in the year-end omnibus bill, which would bring the total to over $100 billion in emergency aid from the United States.
News of Zelenskyy’s planned trip was first reported by Punchbowl News.
The White House pushed Congress to include substantial Ukraine aid in the bill, facing an imminent Republican majority in the House that seems to be less inclined to fund the embattled country. If passed, it would bring the total to over $100 billion in emergency aid from the United States. (read more)
While Putin is in Belarus with his Generals.
I think this may be the truth in the story “there are concerns about his ability to leave his country and then return again.”
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again. Oh, Ukraine, I hate to go.’
Gone to join his wife and half million in gifts at their mansion in Florida. Scumbag DeSantis may even carve the Turkey!
Putin was in Belarus yesterday with Shoigu (the Minister of Defense) and Lavrov (the Foreign Minister) and Peskov (Press Secretary). Today, Peskov reported that Putin visited the military zone of combat and met with combat commanders. Tomorrow, Putin meets with his Department of Defense, with possibly an announcement to follow.
And after the repulsive standing ovations, the clapping, the cheering, will they hand him one of those gigantic checks, so beloved of Lottery winners, with $45,000,000,000 written on it?
They’re just rubbing our faces in it now. I despise them all, every last one.
Yup that’s what is in the budget bill they are rushing to sign. 4,000 pages of pure swamp payoffs. The man of the year will be happy for a week or 2, then coming back for more.
He’s got his claws in them.It will never be enough, puzzled. Never…
Or vice versa. He is the ultimate willing stooge, like so many of the performers in the alternate reality that is presented to us as our government at work. Wonder if he will favor the Washington creme de la creme with one of his virtuoso piano presentations.
Ugh…please no…
Speaking of swamp payoffs –
My spouse said that the FBI wouldn’t just move, that there is no reason to move HQ out of DC. Could it be a legal maneuver now that everything’s coming out? Lawsuits?
Perhaps the FBI will put those sensitive documents in storage – “Oops, sorry, we can’t comply with FOIA because those documents are in secure storage until GSA picks a new location for the HQ.”
As my spouse says: They are wholly corrupt.
FBI Headquarters (Hoover Building) is largely not used anymore, it doesn’t meet the current code and is too close to the street with the roof overhanging. There is a big day care center in the middle open air plaza.
It’s been slated for demolition for years, so this isn’t big news. Trump wanted to ensure that the new FBI building was of normal, i.e. not post-modern, architecture. But I guess they will be moving to a suburban location a la NSA and CIA that the public has no access to.
This isn’t really enormous news.
The city of D.C. (i.e. the entity people live in) wants very badly to return a lot of these government building sites to the normal street grid and put in regular buildings that generate revenue for the city.
Regular buildings? Prefer other than post-modern architecture? Keeping with the Classical architecture style common to the area, may I suggest a modest sized Colosseum be built on the site? Perhaps with enough room to house a small pride of lions too. Of course they will need to be fed. There’s an ample supply of congress critters nearby for them to munch on. I’m sure that revenue could be generated selling tickets to witness and perhaps assist at feeding time.
Give the site the Carthage treatment: Raze the structure to the ground then salt the earth.
Doesn’t this clown have a grand mansion in Florida? This nonsense (since Feb 2022) is what Hollywood “B” writers salivate over, now we are living this gong show in real life and everyone (all politicans/ MSM/ liberal bobble heads) pretends it’s normal.
Yes, I believe that’s the case. Plenty of upmarket shopping for Mrs Z to take advantage of.
Yes, Betsy, I am right there with you!!
While I count my pennies and try to figure out what I can and can’t buy for Christmas gifts and pray the 20 year old Honda still has a few more miles in it, our “elected Representatives” in DC will be laughing at us, while dining on caviar and Chardonnay, and handing tens of millions of dollars of OUR money off to a corrupt actor who will wink, nod, and hand 10% of it back to his benefactors!
I despise them all and honestly struggle to rest in the knowledge that God sees and God knows and that He is a God of justice…but when my own family has been torn apart by the political chicanery of the past three years (and before that, I realize) I am really having a tough time these days and know that I am not alone!
I remember your family’s story very well.You are anything but alone, vikingmom.
Think how much good here, in this country, that sum (not to mention all the other previous sums) could accomplish. Not the schemes that through back doors we don’t even know about which benefit The Friends of Congress.
Honest to goodness desperately needed help.
I was not endowed with patience, yet we are admonished over and over to have it…to keep our faith strong and firm. And I admit the patience part is very difficult for me, as I’m sure it is for us all.
Thy will be done, I keep saying and praying. It’s a thing to accept that if it is not in God’s time, nothing we do can make it happen.
If it IS in God’s time, NOTHING can stop it.
I watch and read of people in desperate need and worry because of these clueless, greedy people…loads of tears this Season of Expectation. I know justice will eventually come, when He decides. But I will say for the sake of us all, I really do hope it comes soon.
Am late to the party…I said the same thing about God’s Time….
Tis true, Aggiegirl.
Viking Mom- The great thing about being a member of the Fellowship of the Tree House is that you are never alone and always among kindred spirits.
Whenever I am down as I am now for some of the reasons you mention, I know that I can come to this amazing site and get some good vibes and great information.
Hope you have a peaceful and serene Christmas season.
Thank you Seneca! I think of you often, as I know our stories of having prodigals are similar…but in the end God has our children and He is always at work, even after we have lost hope!
May the LORD bless you and keep you, and your family, this Christmas and I pray for good tidings for ALL men in the coming year!!
More than 10%.
Vikingmom…we hear you and remember…maybe not details but the pain….
Wage theft are actions that scream for justice…
Be at peace…Love and honor The Lord. Things happen in “God’s Time”….which is different than ours, (Dear let my cry come unto You…we are so ready!).
I don’t wonder…about “their trillions at stake” and the new congress/house, for all these in your face type actions.
The grifters in DC are envious….another crime/sin against the Holy Spirit….their envy led to other sins of greed and theft and then more envy, they are sick, in many ways….pray for them and be at peace. And me as I take the log out of my eye…
This grifting graft, is a strategy to raise up the poor/immigrants etc…and lower the standards of the formerly secure middle class….to make us all ‘equal’. Fabian socialism/communism.
“Do not be afraid….for I bring you tidings of great joy…For unto you a Savior is born…..”
We are here for you!
I believe they want a war to cover for the great reset of our currency (fiat) to digital (even worse); a war or riots. The past shows that distraction works…unfortunately….
Oh I absolutely believe they do, Lori. They’ve pushed, prodded, threatened, and incited Putin in every way possible. They are itching for a war. Whatever they have to do, inch by grotesque inch, they will do. Nothing is out of bounds. We are ruled by madmen.
Indeed we are. Unfortunately we let them close the mental health facilities due to our good nature. Psychopaths love good natured people….
People who were born with pieces missing. That’s how I view them.
Bingo.
Well actually the Zeester is in DC handing out those million dollar kickback checks. Sort of like the successful mobsters who always greased the palms of the little people who support them
10% for the Big Guy. Nice payday.
Year end bonus.
Most people won’t be able to see him too clearly , but standing right next to Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be the ghost of Europe’s previous Maximum Dictator, Adoldf Hitler.
And so too, although it will be beyond extremely crowded, will be the ghosts of more than 100,000 died for nothing Ukrainian troops.
Remember in the film “Ghost”when in the final moments the minions of Hell dragged the murderer off into the eternal darkness?
Yes….t’would be fitting…
Hitler dragging Zelenskyy down to Hell would be an excellent photo-shop
Throw Biden, Harris, Schumer, Pelosi, and Mitch in with Zelenskyy.
Let’s see the financial statements and tax returns of every member of Congress and give them all a good old fashion forensic audit. The courts didn’t say President Trump’s returns were the only ones which could be examined and no one else’s. The courts have opened the door for everyone in the House and the Senate to be required to submit theirs as well.
Let’s have them…so we can see who, through the spider’s web of money laundering and corrupt family connections, is benefiting from the profligate spending of our tax money (without oversight, I might add).
I suspect, TL, we might be able to add a few more names to your list.
Would that include FARA act compliance for all who have pledged allegiance to Herr Schwab et al?
Whatever it takes. The sky’s the limit. No stone unturned.
Excellent idea. If we had functioning opposition party, they would have proposed that.
If their hands weren’t as dirty, yes they would.
They are hiding their illicit gains. Not even Timmy Turbo Tax Geitner could follow the Bitcoin trail.
As I said…spider’s web. But now I think of it, let’s see the tax returns of their adult children as well.
And by the way, on Zerohedge just posted, Dems have just released President Trump’s tax returns.
Where’s Code Pink ?
Jokes that we all took serious once. Rat poison would be too nice for them.
They were protesting back in February, but looks like they got their cut from Z also. Crickets
Would like nothing better than to see this guy get shut out from returning to Ukraine.
Maybe McConnell could put him up in one of his his guest rooms for the holidays.
McConnell needs to sacked from the party.
I know that I shouldn’t hate this man, and should probably be praying for his salvation, but right now, I just can’t…
And who is that in the background? I recognize Joni Ernst from Iowa (another turncoat who talked big and then sold out so fast it would make your head spin) but I don’t know who the tall guy over Cocaine Mitch’s other shoulder is?
John Thune, his replacement to carry on in his corrupt stead.
🤬
He’s the Hitch…just hooks himself on up to Mitch’s azz
A headless Thune.
Addison’s hand – picked and personally groomed heir to replace him as the leader of the Senate Repubs.
Ahh, Mitch, the Hitch, and the Biatch!
Yes- it was very interesting to read in the press release that he may have a problem getting back into his country. WTF?
Hello Seneca the Elder, from time to time, I check out what Gonzalo Lira has to say, and this is now almost two weeks old and painful to listen to:
https://rumble.com/v1zul9s–gonzalo-lira-unconditional-surrender-is-now-russias-goal.html
A new house representative from Florida? Oh now the dots are looking suspicious….
Guarantee you he isnt vax’d but the show must go on…
A Russian bomb hit his closet, destroyed all his suits, and all he has left to wear is this green hoodie from Target.
Disgusting. There should be massive anti war rallies. Anti war in Syria also.
US politicians looting the treasury, why not foreign ones. Asked why he went in to politics, he said that’s where the money is.
Ukraine is the most corrupt shiitehole in europe. his wife in london spending 40,000.00 on who knows what. Ukraine looks like a huge money laundering operation to me with the military industrial complex making out like bandits.
Reports are she came back with loads of S&M gear….and other toys…
“…the first time the leader has left his war-torn country since Russia invaded 10 months ago.”
Wasn’t he recently in Paris??
Or was that just Mrs. Z dropping the forty thousand euros in an hour?
Just the Missus.
He has Hollyweird directors setting up his TV bites with a green or blue screen. He can do that from anywhere.
its time for another stroll down Shakedown street..
Bumper sticker material…
Our Congressmen and Senators are really looking for an insurrection this time aren’t they?
don”t allow the spending bill to pass. Americans voted in a Republican House. Let the new majority rule.
Is he coming here to rally for the support of the bill? Who is on his side?
Grifters gonna grift.
Translated from Russian FYI. As at Dec 20, 2022 AFU losses attributed by the Russian MOD:
A total of 350 aircraft have been destroyed since the start of the special military operation:
– 350 aircraft,
– 188 helicopters,
– 2,694 unmanned aerial vehicles,
– 398 anti-aircraft missile systems,
– 7177 tanks and other armored combat vehicles,
– 931 multiple rocket launcher combat vehicles,
– 3,695 field artillery guns and mortars,
– 7,684 units of special military motor vehicles.
According to EU President Ursula Von der Leyen the Ukrainian Army has over 100,000 Killed in Action and 300,000 wounded. If the Bolsheviks behind the monkey in the White House (Joe Biden) drag this out any longer the Ukrainian Army will lose another 100,000 White Orthodox Christian soldiers…and for what? The Russian Army is going to crush Ukraine and there’s nothing the United States and NATO can do except prolong the suffering!
What happened to all the hipsters singing “All we are saying is give Peace a Chance?”
They all wanted peace and cheered Russia when it was Athiest and Communist but now that it’s a White (Czarist) Orthodox Christian Russia again they want to destroy it.
Yes, my great grandparents were forced out by the Bolsheviks a little over a century ago: https://chrishydeservices.com/blue-skies-golden-grains-and-about-my-daughter-published-on-rumble/
Last I read, 4 million of their people high tailed it outta there….and 400k incapacitated…serious population reduction.
I can’t stand that actor.
Maybe he’ll ask Brandon and the sycophants in Congress to simply load the billions of American Tax Payer dollars he’s getting onto an
Am-Ex card.
Would save a lot of time and graft…. Ahem, I meant pesky “exchange”, Ahem, money laundering “rates”.
USA! USA! USA!……
https://newspunch.com/zelenskys-wife-spent-40000-shopping-in-paris-while-demanding-us-give-ukraine-more-money/
The same White House weasels, senile senators and congresscritters who fawn over Zelensky would never meet with or listen to ordinary Americans.
Does the guy ever wear anything other than tank driver gear?
At least he is not donning the tanker’s headgear, he probably saw the picture of Michael Dukakis from the 1988 Presidential campaign.
He’s coming to sit on Santa Claus’ lap with his list of how many billions he wants for Christmas.
Will he come dressed as a statesman like Churchill, or as a military thug like Arafat?
He’ll will come dressed as the new fashion plate of the U.S. Senate, John Fetterman/woman.
” The trip is not certain to happen, the people cautioned. Zelenskyy was still in Ukraine on Tuesday evening, and there are concerns about his ability to leave his country and then return again.”
Key statement in bold above!
He may only be allowed to return if he has the $45B check/cash in his possession. Otherwise Zaluzhniy will replace the national clown/beggar acting as social media warrior hero/presidente.
He is being drawn to the Washington Congressional stage lights/cameras, because of his ego and waning profile. Snubbed by FIFA in the final game, he must find ways to remain in the spotlight!
He may, thou, see this as a timely opportunity while abroad to pick up some last minute cash and attempt to disappear in……perhaps Texas, Florida or Martha’s Vineyard?????………..but his compatriots will eventually track him down.
Perhaps he would be wise to consider claiming asylum in Russia instead – his chances there may be better than with his Nazi/Azov ‘friends’.
Defeat is on the frozen horizon in the east and someone will have to accept blame for all the death, destruction, chaos and vanished $$$,$$$,$$$,$$$.
WHERE IS SBF?
Zelenskyy needs to convert some cash into crypto and leave no trail!
SBF is busy raiding churches.
Russia will never lose this war. It’s hard to believe how amazingly stupid most of Congress is. It’s gonna get scary, when Putin decides to really put the hammer down. He will never let the “Motherland” be defeated.
Well said
Putin loves his country.
Our legislators, not so much love for America….
We see two aged ideologies in conflict….
For such a serious “war”, a country’s President feels it is okay for him to leave and visit another country while his people are supposedly fighting and dying back home? What a total farce this bullshit is.
Not unheard of. Both Roosevelt and Churchill traveled during war. I don’t think they broadcast their itinerary first, though. Then there was that time we intercepted both Yamamoto’s plans and his plane. Careful. History has a way of repeating itself.
Fake War. When is CTH going to make the official announcement?
For a supposedly ravaged war-torn country, a surprising number of its people are, and have been, selling their wares on eBay and shipping worldwide steadily during the past year. Go figure?
It may be ravaged but its not because of a Russian invasion.
Like Burberry trench coats that retail for $2400 in the US.
19th Ward Chicago: Putin Drops HUGE BOMBSHELL On What’s Next in Ukraine War!!!
IF THIS PLAYS OUT NOTHING ELSE WILL MATTER.
So he is showing up in person to collect his prize money.
Maybe he going to assure them that his lips are sealed and he will keep their secret.
Welcome, Mr President, enjoy the meet and greet with the people that helped you in the money laundering.
Poetic justice would be this grifter overthrown while hobnobbing in DC and his replacement immediately signs peace with Russia. I would laugh, yes, I would.
Just another distraction for the Twitter file dumps.
Will he be dropping in on the Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute, home of the Election Integrity Partnership and the Stanford Internet Observatory, like he did the last time he was in the US?
https://fsi.stanford.edu/news/%E2%80%98everything-possible-ukraine%E2%80%99-president-volodymyr-zelensky-addresses-stanford-community-during
Which multi-million dollar property of Zelensky’s will he stay at while state side?
This is disgusting
Spitballing here:
Could this have anything to do with the nuclear false-flag our Derps have been making noise about?
“Sure, nuke us, but bring me and my family out so we don’t get all icky like my people will be . . .”
In such an event he wouldn’t go back, too dangerous, and his extraction would be complete, his Nazi freres couldn’t take him out as they would if he ever sought to flee.
Even if “we” don’t false-nuke ’em, this could serve as an extraction opportunity.
Hell, he might even sue for peace.
Giving credit for the opportunity to do so to the Odious Occupant.
Your point is worth serious consideration.
Especially since Zelensky is desperate for any type of “victory ” right now.
Ukraine has been unsuccessful so far in hitting the nuclear Zaphrohys plant where if hit—-would not be good……….
Indeed.
Those attempts on the Russian held nuclear power plant are done with American weapons, and who the hell is gonna believe the Russians shelled a plant they are occupying anyway?
The Farce is strong with these folks.
And we are distracted with inflation, unemployment, weather, Christmas, Christmas travel….and the new spending bill.
Blue Skies & Golden Grains: https://rumble.com/v20gie0-blue-skies-and-golden-grains.html
The patriots are there to defend the HARM radar-seeking missiles. The only reason for Ukraine to take out radars is to attack ulrawith an air force and I am pretty sure Putin has pretty much destroyed the Ukrainian air forces so it will be ours.d
Will he be playing the piano?
They should tell him the bank is closed.
How about sitting down for peace talks?a
If all the died for nothing dead Ukrainian troops (100,000 plus) were stacked end to end, vertically, they would reach 100 miles high. And that’s so far .
Z cares nothing for his people – he uses them as bloodied props to fleece the US and line his pockets and divert a cut to the Big Guy and the Uniparty.
Wednesday, tomorrow? Think I’d rather watch the Kari Lake hearing, think that’s scheduled for tomorrow, and might actually accomplish something to improve our nation.
Voldamort can have his little time with his adoring fans in congress; have a hunch the smart people will stay home and not attend the Pelosi command performance.
RSBN plans to go live, 11 a.m. east coast time, tomorrow, to air the hearing in Arizona.
Where you gonna watch that?
I don’t have cable, but that’s a huge event worth seeing!

Used to be able to watch all live and other videos on their uTube channel. YouTube just couldn’t handle their movement, so they have joined Rumble where you can still hear/watch their broadcasts, live streams and previously aired contents on computer.
Try and see if this is viable for you.

The real Z? Not the holographic image? Why, I sure hope congress listens.
Because the money Congress (read the American taxpayer) gave to him and his oligarchs never made any improvement in the lives of the poor Ukrainian people now without heat and electricity. They have water though via eating snow so its not totally bad.
Come to think of it, this money transfer from US taxpayers to the Ukrainian leadership is a lot of wealth redistribution. It impoverishes the people of both nations and enriches the elite who serves the WEF. What a spectacular scheme! And the peasants still go to work and hoping for a Christmas deal on eggs at the gas station.
Boy, I’ll have to figure out a way to watch his speech somewhere in some Sh**sville Starbucks or BMW dealership. They stand with ukraine, don’t ya know.
So… Z-manhas gone from the Comedy Channel to C-Span… Is there a difference????
Just what we need in DC, a penis piano playing panhandler.
Plenty of those already in DC at the Drag Bars and Pizza Houses.
“The trip is not certain to happen, the people cautioned. Zelenskyy was still in Ukraine on Tuesday evening, and there are concerns about his ability to leave his country and then return again.”
Interesting quote from the article. Who wouldn’t allow him to come back and how would they stop him if he attempted to?
The Economist had an interview article lately with Ukraine General Zalusky(sp).
Much talk has been going on about it.
If there is one person I would put money on that could/would oust Zelensky–it would be him.
The article is definitely worth reading.
The liars, thieves and fools in Congress will welcome this nice conman with open arms.
The shops in Tysons Corner better hang out the best Gucci green hoodies in their windows to lure Anna Spenderina
All he needs now is a Hawaiin birth certificate and a stolen SSN to become the Democrat nominee.
He wouldn’t even need that to be US Secretary of Defense.
He is kind of that already.
If they are all in Congress listening to him could Putin give us an early Christmas gift?
The best thing to do is troll the living crap out of all of the US media and *.fed.gov.co.
Just mention the Minsk accords as a starter and then go to Germany’s recent comments on that.
Perfect time for an assassination..
which would be by the CIA, not Russia
Russia would prefer the Ukrainians take control of their own disaster
Predicted this summer by Gonzalo Lira:

I miss Gonzalo’s Twitter, he has a great take and is always worth considering.
Yes, Z-Bag might be martyred on his way here.
With a “Russian” missile.
But his body would never be found . . . while we charge to war.
