According to those in political circles who are instructed by the intelligence community, funding for Ukraine is the highest national priority. As an outcome we see all the DC politicians and beltway pundits pushing the same story, funding for Ukraine is the highest priority.
The key politicians within the dynamic exist inside information silos, essentially control mechanisms, where the intelligence community (IC) constructs reality by briefing the politicians about what is going on in the world. The IC tells the politicians what is happening, defines the importance and instructs the politicians on the priorities. The IC is never challenged because ultimately the IC has “seven ways to Sunday” to target the politicians if any non-compliance is identified.
Speaker Mike Johnson is one of the “gang-of-eight” members within the legislative branch. The Go8 are briefed and controlled by the IC, using the exact same intelligence given to the President. Speaker Johnson has the funding of Ukraine as his top priority, because the IC officials who set priorities have told him it must be. WATCH (prompted):
.
(Via Fox News) – […] “When we return after this period, we’ll be moving a product. But it’s going to, I think, have some important innovations,” Johnson told Fox News’ “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy.”
Both the House and Senate are currently on the second week of a two-week recess, when lawmakers are working in their home districts. The House is back on Tuesday, April 9.
Johnson said he has been “working to build consensus” on a supplemental national security and foreign aid package, though he signaled it would look different from prior attempts. He said the House would “be moving it right after the district work period.”
It comes after Republicans killed a $118 billion package with aid for Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel and the U.S. border earlier this year, arguing it did not go far enough to tackle the ongoing border crisis. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and President Biden have been pressuring Johnson to take up a slimmer $95 billion package without border measures.
“We’ve been trying to use that as the only leverage we have to force change on the border. We’re still trying to force the president to use his executive authority, and most of the American people know that he has that authority. He’s not using it,” Johnson argued.
On Ukraine specifically, he said, “There’s a lot of things that we should do that make more sense and I think we’ll have consensus around.”
Johnson highlighted three details specifically – the first being the REPO Act introduced in the House last year by Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, which would liquidate seized Russian assets and send that as assistance to Ukraine.
The speaker also pointed out that former President Trump recently floated the idea of aid to Ukraine in the form of a loan, though he did not mention specific terms save for Kyiv paying Washington back if they win the war against Russia.
[…] Johnson described the third proposal, “And then, you know, we want to unleash American energy. We want to have natural gas exports that will help unfund Vladimir Putin’s war effort there.” (read more)

Latest US POLLING – […] “poll shows that two years after Russia’s initial invasion, the Ukraine war has become a partisan dividing line: Majorities of Democrats think it’s extremely or very important to prevent Russia from seizing more Ukrainian territory, to negotiate a permanent ceasefire between the two countries, help Ukraine regain its land and provide general aid to its military, while less than half of Republicans and Independents agree.” (read more)
Retired Magistrate here: Speaker Johnson; another fake “Christian.” Yes, let’s give more money to Ukraine so more people can be killed all in the name of money laundering. I don’t think that is what JESUS had in mind.
Pray!
The continued funding of the money laundering operation, aka, save the ukraine from Russia. Is only important to the deep state and those dc politicians getting their palms greased. The ukraine ranks right up there with the climate change hoax, in importance.
Gallows on the Mall.
This continuing betrayal of America only stops then.
And lots of them, so the bodies can hang for awhile, as crows peck at their eyeballs.
Last time was 1865, and its been far too long; needed to ‘send a message’.
I really hope “Those that forget history are bound to repeat it”!!! Especially when it to comes to United States history!!!!!!
I’m convinced that if we were able to look at the employment and bank records of these entrenched politician’s families and close relations, we would find that joe biden and his family are not the only ones benefiting from foreign policy.
Imo, that’s why joe wont be impeached!!!
They cant blame one person for stealing cookies, If everyone has their hand in the cookie jar!!!!
Sadly, they have a similar plan for us which includes all of the MIC and all of their tools. We are no longer in a valid, functioning government and there is no rescuing the current structure. It’s going to get very, very ugly. Sadly.
MAGA MIke isn’t MAGA.
Mike Judas Johnson–
another member of the cabal stabbing American citizens in the back.
Fake Christian.
Fake patriot.
Fake!
Coward.
I don’t remember anyone calling him MAGA Mike. Vacate the chair.
Mike

Great
America
Didn’t take long for Speaker “Cheap Tent” Johnson to fold. Wonder what they have on him?
Well, in Schumer’s own words, “they have seven ways to Sunday” to get back at him if he doesn’t toe the IC line. Doesn’t take too much imagination to figure that one out.
I don’t think he folded at all. I think he agrees with most of the globalist agenda.
you may be correct
I see this comment a lot and I don’t think DC works in that way. To imply that someone was threatened into doing something or somebody got to them also implies that they are good honest upstanding people who really, really want to do the right and correct thing but by Golly they got a phone call and all that went out the window. I don’t buy that at all. They do what they do because they want to. They are all on the same team and don’t have to be threatened into complying. A truly good and righteous man wouldn’t allow himself to be threatened into compliance. They would fight no matter what. Just a different way to look at these things!!
I believe it is a mixture.
Got to keep the money laundering machine working. Fact: Never elect someone that recites the Bible and called a Christian. Action speaks louder than words
I agree. Render to Ceasar and render to God. I cannot stand these do gooder’s like this guy who then turns around and caves to the left. I can barely look at Johnson without balling up a fist.
First the house needs to be in order. It’s not. An example : Sheriff:
‘Well-Trained’ Chilean ‘Ninjas’ Robbing Rich Americans After
Getting into U.S. through the Visa Waiver Program
Sheriff: Chilean gangs are back targeting high-end homes for burglaries in Oakland County
Speaker johnson is right though : We’ve got to stop the Biden agenda
The “Biden Agenda” is the globalist agenda. It’s what Johnson is funding.
Speaker Johnson has no intention of doing anything of the sort. He’s a Democrat. Vacate the chair.
We gotta also stop the Speaker Johnson agenda as well.
I want Russia to overrun all of Ukraine. Please capture all the documentation of US corruption in the country for the past decade or more. Please lay it bare for the rest of the world to see. Name names! Maybe then the American people will realize what is being done in their name and finally get the courage to clean house.
That is what the Intelligence Community REALLY FEARS ! It is not just the corruption. It is confirmation of all the biological weapons labs funded and built inside Ukraine by the U.S. government via the DOD and CIA. That information could and should trigger Nuremberg trials and hangings of MANY U.S. government employees for their MANY crimes against humanity.
They can’t allow those labs to be exposed until they have the replacements all ready to go inside the US.
I think there is way more dasradly evil that happened in Ukraine than we know about.
And exactly which “information venues” will put out this information? Even IF the information is widely disseminated, those currently asleep will remain asleep.
The Second Coming will occur before the sleepers awake.
I don’t know why the Ukraine needs so much money when the Tajik terrorists they hire only charge $5,000. That’s a hell of an upcharge.
Big guy gets his 10%, The Republicons in the House, the Republicons in the Senate, the Democraps in the House, and the Democraps in the Senate ALL need to get THEIR cut, and then the Cee Eye Aye and State Dept have to get THEIR cut,…everybody needs to get their beak wet.
Pop gets half of hunters salary…would that make barry the big guy?
Yes, more “Octopus for all”
Good point!
Russia is still gathering
evidence on who ordered
and paid for the Crocus Hall.
If it is found that Ukraine was
behind the attack…..
Wouldn’t we be funding
a Terrorist Country. 🤷♀️💁💁❓
P.S….Pretty sure Ukraine ordered
the attack.
BIG question is whether we helped
coordinate the terrorist attack.
Even without the Crocus attack there were already attacks that could be considered terrorist attacks by some.
For example the blowing up of Dugins daughter, the blowing up of a coffee shop with a small statue I believe it was. Those were attacks on what we can tell are only civilians. The actions admitted to by Ukraine’s Budanov and others.
Plenty of reasons already to see Ukraine as a terrorist country.
BUT that is what Nuland meant with “suprises” and assymetric warfare. It could be interpreted as nice way of saying “We can’t seem to beat Russia straight up so we’ll go on a terror campaign, see if we can help a color revolution against Russia’s government”
Also US seems to have no trouble funding terror groups today: it was proven to fund ISIS in Syria (where and when it suited and ISIS seemed to have the same goal) to topple Assad and regime change Syria.
–“P.S….Pretty sure Ukraine ordered
the attack.
BIG question is whether we helped
coordinate the terrorist attack.”–
I’m thunking more along the lines that ‘deep state US’ ordered and coordinated the terrorist attack by puppet strings and Ukraine as a puppet helped in any way they were told to.
Ukraine is directed/told
Patriot batteries cost over 1 billion dollars each when loaded.
Russia destroyed a couple of them only last month.
Seal the border.
Do we have enough ‘Seal Teams’ to accomplish that? < a big sigh combined with my chuckle>
To any involved in the corruption that may read this to see what we know:
There will be a reckoning. There will be a time when everyone must give an account for all that he/she has done. For those that are selling out their brothers and sisters for the gain of wealth or power or pleasure, it will come to an end. When that end comes where will you stand? Please repent now for the Lord will not tarry forever. His lovingkindness is great, but so is His fury and His wrath. Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ therefore, and escape the coming judgment.
Just as Congress was exempt from Obamacare, they will be exempt from CBDC. Their wealth stolen from us, ours controlled by them. That, is the glazed look of deceit we see in their eyes.
Commenter Matthew Hoh (not a Trump supporter) explained why unthinking democrats support the Ukraine: in their minds, it’s good versus evil. Russia equals Putin and Putin equals Trump.
Putin is the last holdout in this attempt to have the devil rule the world. Trump is too but he is being hamstrung by his own circle of ‘supporters’.
Mike McJohnson is for Congress, what Bondo Barr was for the DOJ, and what Roberts is for SCOTUS, focusing on ‘preserving the Institution’ (actually preserving the APPEARANCE of the Institution, while destroying it!).
They cars more for their own preservation than the institution(s) they serve because they are controlled by the IC (See first sentence of post & a few subsequent references in SD post).
BTW, did you notice the word and 1 of 3 details mentioned by Johnson in italicized portion at end? NATURAL GAS.
Exactly!
My first thought….
Hey Lindsey Graham..
Lets revisit the blowing
up of Nordstream .😆😊
And he even said..
A blow to Russia 😂😂
Blowing up the Nordstream
didn’t work quite like it was
expected to…..
So …we will just send Billions
of dollars…🤷♀️💁🤷♀️
What an idiot….
We need to activate the grass roots against Mike Johnson. It’s time to enact a LA Mike Johnson boycott. Or something this man is such an utter slug
It’s imperative that people not die for these criminals. If there’s a draft, a direct war, a push for boots on the ground in Ukraine. Active duty need to disobey orders
Johnson’s face looks photoshopped and his voice sounds like Adam Schift.
Oh….isn’t THIS priceless! Speaker Johnson….who turns out to be just another fricking rat establishment traitor…..speaking with another formally do nothing establishment rat traitor who made us all think he would DO SOMETHING! Now good old Gowdy works for another traitorous organization…instead of the one he used to work for…the US Government!
Shill! Precious few in Washington are not shills. What’s another $T, the peasants will pay for it.
He must be terrified of something. He needs to be replaced today.
Washington doesn’t need paying back! WE DO!!!…..more silent outrage….
WTAF?! REPO Act to take Russia’s assets (cash) and give it to Ukraine? WTAF?
Sounds like something communists would do….. Ohhhhh that’s because they (Biden Regime) are commies.
They really think this will have no consequences. If it were not for Justin Trudeau freezing trucker’s bank accounts, most people might have accepted a retail CBDC. However, the trucker incident exposed the whole scheme. Now think about a foreigner who has investments or money in the United States or Europe, the REPO Act functions the same way the trucker’s incident did for us, it is their wake-up call:
“Don’t Beg West For Money, Invest In Russia”: Putin To Business Elite
“Recent events have convincingly shown that the image of the West as a safe haven, a refuge for capital, is a phantom, a fake,” Putin said.”
“No ordinary citizens felt sympathy for those who lost money in foreign banks or were forced to give up their yachts and palaces abroad, Putin said, remembering Russia’s 1990s privatisation drive that saw state businesses sold for next to nothing and the “ostentatious luxury of the so-called new elites”.
“Launch new projects, make money, invest in Russia,” he said. “This is how you will multiply your capital and earn people’s recognition and gratitude for generations to come.”
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/putin-urges-business-elite-not-to-beg-in-west-invest-in-russia-instead-3801832
Then combine that with what they are doing to DJT in New York.
Our leaders live in an impenetrable consequence-free iron bubble.
And, of course, China is not that big of an enemy in their commie eyes
All the democrats are getting rich via (China slave labor) along with their Billionaire donors who manufacture almost every product they sell in China. This is why they have to target Russia instead of China. (the real enemy)
In my mind, I do not want to fund ukraine one thin dime. They have squandered all the “cash” and arms sent to them (against) my wishes. ukraine is not going to win this war. biden will make sure USA funds any rebuild, and keep that btard in office. All along demanding Israel stop. AND our borders are worse every day.
I don’t know what to make of Mike. I do know what to make of lindsey.
It’s amazing how Obama and Biden go into Ukraine overthrow their Govt’ in 2014, try to launder a bailout package of $100 billion + and 10 years later there is now a massive war going on. Are the american people really this ignorant to vote for Genocidal Maniacs pretending to be something otherwise?
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
Constantly being distracted by the details of peripheral issues that are just the SYPTOMS of a fundamental problem one doesn’t understand accomplishes nothing but a higher blood pressure.
And why MUST the COMPLEX root problem be known and FULLY understood?
Because NOT understanding it is how these SCUM have gotten away with this crap for over 100 years!
From Dr. Lindsay’s video about his book, “The Marxification of Education: Paulo Freire’s Critical Marxism and the Theft of Education” on the danger of NOT understanding the problem:
“How bad is it? Well, this summer Ron DeSantis… signed a piece of legislation written by the super based Florida legislature called the Stop Woke Act. Stop Woke couldn’t be more explicit and how humiliating that section 4 of that bill which was passed and signed literally includes the social emotional learning five competency areas as mandated!
So the Stop Woke Act itself introduces the primary woke tool into Florida schools putting them in a perfect bind with a perfectly useless piece of legislation in the most based state allegedly in the country from the most informed governor and most informed legislature that we have… the Democrat ones, they’re driving this thing as hard as they can but the other 30 whatever Republican Governors are sticking around with their thumbs up their asses with no idea what’s going on… most of them haven’t even heard of these words…”
The problem with Ukraine is not money or military hardware, It’s lack of manpower. Too many men killed and wounded and those left are fleeing the country.
oldguy: None of that is our problem.
Agree!
Lack of Manpower.
And it has been reported
many times…
Russia is producing
3x more military
arms and munitions….
than US and NATO
COMBINED.
And it will take YEARS
for us to produce even
half of what Russia does
right now.
And Russia will be increasing
its production at the same
time….🤷♀️💁
I believe that it is probably
5 or 6 times more production.
Russia just increased military
spending budget.
And their priority is…
Product before Profit.
our MIC is
Profit before Production.
The manpower issue is worse than it seems at first glance.
Ukraine had 52 million to Russia’s 148 million in 1991.
Now Russia has north of 150 million, due to rising birthrate, life expectancy, immigration/guestworkes, refugees and new territory.
Ukraine is down to something around 25-to-30 million at best, and it’s long-term demographic trends are catastrophic.
That’s why they can’t push through a new mobilization bill, there weren’t many 18-to-25 y/o men to start with.
This was an obvious factor in any war that dragged on for years. Of course the MSM remains oblivious to basic mathematics.
Fix the US border first, then deal with lending foreign nations money.
🤷♀️💁🤷♀️🤷♀️
Well..when he took the
gavel, was his first act
for the U.S.A…..
Nope.
It was for a Foreign Country.
That was my first clue.
He is not America First.
Fix the US border first. Period.
No more “lending” money to foreign nations. No, no, no.
Exactly – simple motto even congress critters should understand. Fix all infrastructure of the US in a bill solely devoted to it and stop all foreign funding until it is realized.
I wonder what the “deep state”….
has on johnson….
Maybe johnson’s johnson is the problem….????
Sometimes it’s about their loved ones, re: Mike Flynn.
They really despise the average American.
The average American is of zero importance to any of them.
When I started viewing all but a handful of them as sociopaths this impending disaster became clearer, and I needed to adapt.
Cheers!
So, in part, the mission is to become ‘important’. 🙂

Speaker Johnson Tells Zelenskiy No Ukraine Aid Without Border Deal – YouTube
☝️☝️☝️ 40 second clip
That is still garbage.
We all know that the “border deal” is going to be a toothless, worthless deal. We already have laws against foreign invasions. This is just more of the Uniparty Two-Step on the Potomac, just another song and dance pretending to “solve a problem” that they created.
Their job is to protect our borders. Period. That mission should not have to be held hostage and used as a bargaining chip for their corruption.
I loathe these people.
Yup.
It should serve as a
reminder of what he said….
and what he is doing.
🤷♀️💁🤷♀️
More money we don’t have going into the pockets of the criminals running this nation.
Just what are the Democrats and RINOs getting out of their war support. It has to be financial. Is it just just bribes, labeled “donations”, or is it a direct(or nearly direct) kickback from Ukraine?(10% for “The Big Guys”)
Ive heard there is a massive human smuggling operation there with many thousands of miles of tunnels, but i have no tangible proof of it. Also i heard biden and others have homes there
sounds likely has to be things a bunch want to keep hidden
Not another dime, We the People scream into the wind and not a single politician hears us.
Ukraine can figure it out without laundering US money. The biggest problem in the US is the illegal aliens that have crossed our borders. Mike Johnson needs to find some other work as he is useless.
This would be like sending money to the Germans in WW2 when the Russians are at the gates of Berlin.
No amount of money is going to actually help them with the war. It’s so obvious that money is not for Ukraine.
🎯🎯🎯
I noticed that “genius” over at cfp stopped calling him maga mike.
If the rinos agree on a leader, i will automatically assume that leader is severely compromised.
This development does not shock me
If Linda Graham is for it, then how could it be bad for America? /s
Not saying I like it, but is this the way he is trying to hold on to a slim majority without further defections…..errr retirements, so a Jafferies house can’t pass a “keep Trump off ballot” law in the next few months? Or is the majority already lost with saying their plans? I can’t remember.
They have blackmailed Johnson. Heh Mike, either pass Ukraine funding – OR more Republicans will “retire” and the House will flip to Democrat control.
It sounds like Speaker Johnson does not have the votes to defeat a discharge petition for an opposition Ukraine bill. Therefore some sort of poison pill should be inserted in the “product” that will be moved to head that off. It is nice to hear some good, old-fashioned boilerplate from Johnson, when one has been conditioned to expect the screaming hysterics of the Biden crowd.
On the specifics: Using seized Russian assets to fund Ukraine will only encourage other countries to seize our assets. Loaning money to someone who can’t pay it back is an idea for blockheads. Funding natural gas exports by ship will be a boondoggle, when the Germans will once again get gas by pipeline for much less after the war is over.
Thank you for your excellent post. Like your poison pill idea.
Between the sanctions and seizing financial assets we have birthed BRICS and the rest of the world now backs away wondering if we will one day weaponize our financial system against them too. We damage the value of trading internationally in the US dollar by weaponizing the dollar.
He’s Just Another Traitor….and to think he’s next in line to be “president”…..
Look free money … Free Money Mike
I predict Speaker Johnson will be handing the gavel with great joy over to his fellow globalist Speaker Jeffries, leading this country down the pathway of doom and gloom.
That is not a prediction; it is a sure bet.
SAD.
If Graham, Schumer, Durbin, or Rubio is “happy”, it means we Deplorables are about to take another fleecing or enter another war.
Criminally insane comes to mind.
That’s why nothing changes! They only put bad people in high places! That’s Why, they fought against Jim Jordan! They don’t want a good guy as Speaker!
DUMB AS A BRICK. Total L O S E R.
Get him outta’ here, and take his coat.
Mike “fiddles” while “Rome” burns, making his priority something which is close to last on the list for most Americans. Nothing that Americans actually care about is being resolved. Mike is all politicians.
“…making portions of the aid a LOAN helping the American taxpayer”
“Loan”. Yeah, right. Graham at least, backhandedly, reveals that just giving money to Ukraine HURTS the American taxpayer.
But a loan?? Really? We know that will never be paid back. They might as well call it a Student Loan and then “forgive” the debt.
I believe Trump said he would give ISR a zero percent loan.
I can’t help but notice that all of the talk is always about: “money.” But, there is no effort made to see where the money is actually going. Most of it appears to be going to the laundry workers in the present Ukranian government. And then, no doubt, “straight back to DC.” You cannot win a war with “money,” but that’s obviously not what these people really have in mind. Never did.
Rand Paul tried to attach an amendment to previous Ukraine funding requiring a dedicated financial tracker/auditor to follow the money. Was voted down.
Rand Paul, once again, doing a toothless, worthless, meaningless gesture long after the horse left the barn. Perhaps he and McJordan can write a sternly worded letter.
Anyone in Congress who even tries to something that benefits the Citizen is scorned for his effort. The handful of people who even try are likely as discouraged as all of us.
Did someone say 3 point plan to fix everything…
