Report: Ukraine Planned to Funnel Aid Back to U.S. to Reelect Biden
https://thenewamerican.com/us/crime/report-ukraine-planned-to-funnel-aid-back-to-u-s-to-reelect-biden/
“The Ukrainian government led by corrupt dictator Volodymyr Zelensky planned to send hundreds of millions of dollars of U.S. aid to the regime back to the United States to help reelect President Joe Biden in 2024.
The scandal might surpass that of the Biden-Burisma influence-peddling scheme, as well as the Biden-China connection, which permitted China to penetrate Barack Obama’s White House.
The kickback to Democrats from Ukraine is described in a declassified intelligence report, details of which were reported by Just the News.”

“This is Hitler’s last days with Persian characteristics.” —LH Grey on X
On the ground, in the apartments, the cafes, the offices, the grand bazaars of Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Shiraz life has already gotten super-impossible. Whatever’s left of the government just issued banknotes in the denomination of ten million rials, worth seven US dollars. Everybody there has plenty of money. Everyone is a millionaire, but they won’t be swanning around Fereshteh Street in top hats and monocles, shopping for Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Rolex.
In actuality, nothing can function normally anymore when the currency is absolutely worthless, including the regular distribution of food and fuel, and you know from history that revolution is always only nine missing meals away. Something will have to give.
The American news media, especially The New York Times, remains implacably peevish over Operation Epic Fury. The news media remains locked in its own epic fury at Mr. Trump running the executive branch, because, uh, why? The tweets! The mystifying hair-do! The gold filigree plastered around the Oval Office! Ucchhh. . . ! It drives them batshit. They want the Iran op to fail because then Mr. Trump will fail. . . and then. . .? And then. . . ? You detect that maybe they haven’t thought that through exactly.

“… Here’s a fun question to ponder:
what if the Iran war wasn’t *only* about stopping its nuclear program? What if the global energy crisis was the primary objective? To see this clearly, just swap a single assumption around. Media assumed that the energy crisis surprised President Trump.
But what if it’s the other way around? What if he *knew* this would happen? Remember, Trump has been thinking about oil, the Strait of Hormuz, and even tiny Kharg Island *since the 1980s*.
Remember— we don’t know the plan. (Nor should we.) But also, for the first time since the start of the Cold War, the Europeans don’t know the plan either.
…
Here’s the astonishing timeline. On March 3rd, Trump posted on Truth Social: “If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible.” It sounded reasonable, but something else happened. Instead of ordering the escorts, Trump pivoted. He demanded that other countries send their warships to escort their own oil tankers.
Predictably, they refused.
The President rhetorically blasted Britain, Germany, Japan, and South Korea for their reluctance— but most significantly, he still didn’t send naval escorts. Except now he had a good excuse. *They won’t even protect their own ships.*
The Europeans sputtered indignantly, signed a joint letter pledging generic support, but dragged their wooden-shoed feet. EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas told Reuters, “Nobody is ready to put their people in harm’s way in the Strait of Hormuz.” France’s Macron said he’d send the French navy when “the conflict stabilized” — which is Parisian for no soufflé. NATO chief Mark Rutte told reporters it was “only logical that European countries needed a couple of weeks” to rally, since they were not given notice before the initial strikes.
Get that? They were *not even given notice*. Not even a heads-up to get their citizens and diplomats out before the bombs began to fall.
🔥 Meanwhile, on March 12th, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that the Navy “may be able to start escorting ships through the strait by the end of March.” May be able to. The most powerful navy in history, already deployed in the region, and the best we can do is maybe and end of March?
Iran’s navy is deployed to an artificial reef assignment. So, what’s stopping us?
Iran’s ability to project force in the Strait has been functionally destroyed. We face no capability problem. It’s a choice. For a smarter analysis, see { gCaptain’s excellent article from last week: } “What if the US Navy isn’t in a hurry to reopen the Strait?”
…
Instead of naval escorts, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced just yesterday that a new US government insurance program for Hormuz shipping will “begin soon” — with promises that the plan will “get oil, gasoline, LNG, jet fuel and fertilizer flowing again to the world.”
Remember, for something like 400 years, London has controlled insurance availability to the Strait. But after Trump launched the Iranian operation, they had a TDS-fueled temper tantrum and peaced out. To teach Trump a lesson.
But London’s departure from Hormuz insurance leaves only the US. Which means the US decides (a) who gets an escort and (b) who gets insured. And by logical extension, who gets the oil.
Can you see it yet? If the US is the only country providing either escorts or insurance, guess who actually controls the Strait of Hormuz? Correct, we do. As our chief executive, President Trump does. He will soon hold both de facto (US Navy escorts) and de jure (US insurance) control.

No Kings BS
So the justification for these No Kings protest is they don’t like President Trumps policies. They never say which ones except possibly the ICE enforcement. They just hate Trump and any made up justifications.
Messaging
I don’t think any of these protesters actually know what the MAGA movement is all about or what President Trumps policies actually are. They just listen to the leftist trash President Trump and MAGA and believe what they claim.
I believe President Trump has instigated 240+ Executive Orders. I don’t know what they all are, but I would bet they for America First and MAGA policies that benefit all of us including the moronic protesters.
Maybe if President Trump had these EOs published, like no men in women’s sports and many others that show he is working for us citizens and legal immigrants they might recognize he’s actually working for everyone’s benefit.
There is just so much lying and misinformation out there that the left and media pushes. People are being brainwashed to HATE.

The people you are referencing are not capable of critical thinking, are consumed with envy, and are like sheep needing to be told where to go next. All they know is TDS all day every day. They are not the same as us, don’t waste your time on them.

Do you all think we will lose both houses in the mid-terms?
I would like to see both parties replaced with those who would truly serve the people.

Do you all think Republicans will lose the house and senate in the mid-terms?
You already asked that. No.
Unless things magically become fantastic for most people – Republicans will lose the House and likely lose the Senate, although winning the Senate will be a tougher task for Democrats (math).
It’s crazy how nobody talks about how No Kings is really just a front for mass voter registration. They were registering people en masse today. Democrats have a much stronger ground game than Republicans.
Except that almost all new registrations since the 2024 election show a massive lead for Republicans over Democrats in just about every state, so your ground game theory is very suspect.
And I guarantee you that most of those paid Soros and other far left groups newly signing up will be doing very little voting.
