Breitbart reported, “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that taxpayers in the United States and European Union send the country even more aid if the West wishes for elections to be held next year. “In an interview published by the president’s office on Sunday evening, Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections despite the ongoing martial law amid the war with Russia, so long as the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process.”
None of us should have to pay for anything in the Ukraine. Our Federal Republic is dying a death by 10,000 cuts. Everywhere we look there is corruption galore. God has removed His protection and has turned our nation over to reprobates. We who love our Republic must continue to fight and pray for His mercy and a great awakening. I see no other way.
Watched a sermon a month or so ago by Pastor John MacArthur on YT; he stated the reason everything is falling apart in this country is because we’re already under God’s Judgement.
Got it Tony. Didn't think you praised him. I just hate people who "accept" collateral damage or no forethought to actions affecting others Much like our federal gov
I don't know if you read all the notes, but one senior agent said this: "If you have a problem with federal officials, there are plenty of places you can get into a firefight with them. You don't need to involve children."
It's been around 30 years since I heard the comments and my version is paraphrased, but the clarity is Astounding.
God's giving me great clarity while I ask for his ever tightening grip during my mourning for Mary so that I may make fewer embarrassing mistakes. I feel the lovely presence of Jesus.
Sorry for your loss 4DC. I relate though it was my special needs daughter died unexpectedly in a tragic way at age 37. She was and remains the love of my life. May God continue to bless you!
Oh DC! What a tragedy! I am so sorry. Yes, we are not supposed to outlive them. Suicides are so shocking. My ex wife took her life. Especially hurtful to my son. May God continue to embrace you in unending love! It will be wonderful to be reunited with our loved ones!!
A follow up on my embarrassing mistakes. I haven't mentioned on how I called the cops on a postal worker who I suspected wrongly was the ex-husband of my lovely neighbor who will no longer speak to me because of that incident. I have no longer have my supernatural spidey sense that tells me of evildoers. Hence my new profile picture of the hooded hawk along side of my HANNIBAL THE CANNIBAL profile picture. So many stories to tell. So little time. (I'm riffing Jack Nicholson's THE JOKER IN THE ORIGINAL BATMAN MOVIE WITH MICHAEL KEATON.
I am beginning to suspect that Surber Nation has a more permanent place in my life than I had originally fought. You are a wonderful group of friends and therapist and the benefits that I am reaping is amazing me. I LOVE YOU GUYS.
This is such bullshit it’s hard to compare it to any other scam I’ve ever watch unfold in my life and I’ve got 3/4 of a century to look back on.
There is no way, anyway the Ukes would elect a Jew as their leader, not yesterday not today and not to-morrow.
For Biden to send this crook bazillion’s of $ while American citizens in Maui or FLA are suffering is Treason and Criminal and everyone who signed off on this is complicit and needs to hang from a lamp post in Washington and be left there.
Wanna know who needs a re-appraisal, Putin! There I said it! Do you really think he can’t focus enough of his military on the Ukrainian shit pile to blow it sky high? He doesn’t need or want a war with the West, but jerk him around enough and watch. How confident are we in the American Military these days… yeah the same Military who hasn’t won a major war since WW2!
Folks this is all a scam… all of it, and in the end the ones who will be left to, or made to suffer are the ones who always wind up suffering… us!
I said it yesterday and I’m saying it today
Ammo and Supply UP because this can’t go on much longer!
Would that asshole be doing this at all if he wasn’t dipping his beak for a considerate sum. Immediate trial and summary executions for him and everyone he’s ever had a conversation with, lucid or not!
I understand why Biden wants to keep the war going. It is the same reason he commenced our involvement in it in the first place, viz., he is being blackmailed by Zelensky. Seriously, use Occam's Razor and you will agree. The Hunter /Joe/Ukrainian connection seems to obvious to ignore. Unfortunately, there being no precedent in this country of a President who was owned by a foreign power, the citizens are reluctant to come to such a conclusion, and thus have been led to believe that American support of Ukraine has something to do with American national interest; patriotism is still a thing here, and it's easy to gin up with the right kind of propaganda. That explains how such a large swath of Americans have been brainwashed to support American involvement in this debacle. Then again, one can't dismiss the financial interest our war machine has in the continuation of hostilities. Check the financials of Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, and the myriad of other defense contractors whose stock values have gone up spectacularly during this period of economic malaise. And then there are the top brass, the generals and admirals, as well as the colonels, majors, and others of lower rank who want to become generals and admirals, with America on a war footing being the best way to insure promotion. And certainly last but not least, we have the Quisling politicians like Ms. Lindsay Graham, Mittens Romney, et al., whose power and prestige depend upon their remaining on top of the political heap down in DC. But soon, I suspect, the pendulum will swing the other way, especially as it becomes clearer that the Biden Family Business (tm) interests took precedence over any American interests. At least, that is fervently to be wished.
Let's not forget Obama and his trans-wife, Nuland, Hillary, Vindman and all the demonic players that got this fiasco rolling in high gear in 2014. Obama, that great fraud, and his administration were hell bent on regime change throughout the world. ie Arms from Libya, after targeting Khaddafi, ended up arming ISIS in the Middle East. Why do people think "Rocket Man" fires missiles? It's his shot across the bow to say not me you MFers!
Yep. Biden blackmailed. I keep thinking of how Uke gave money to the Biden Crime Family, then, when Zelensky gets in a war, he blackmails Biden...at a time when Biden can pay him with our tax dollars, not his riches. Biden will keep his houses, thank you very much.
"If this is such a good investment, why not have Bain Capital invest its money? BlackRock too. Paul Pelosi. Bill Gates. Mittens has net worth of $450 million. Why isn’t he investing it in Ukraine?"
No kidding.
Tucka floats the idea that the Junta's only choice out of its current malaise is war with Russia and using War Powers(national security!) to finally subjugate us. My brother counters with Congressional signoff won't happen and I side with that.
However... As Tucka has stated(paraphrased), "They disagreed with Trump, then they protested him, then they impeached him, and now they have indicted him. Where do they go from here?" Tucka says assassination. Or total war. Or complete implosion. For the first time in my life I am totally unsure.
Yes, Tucker has the pecking order correct, I think. I have said here, the deep state will stop at nothing to keep Trump out. Assassination at this point would cause an earthquake among 75 million citizens. It does make sense to use the war as the needed distraction to steal the 2024 election, especially if they can push Putin into dropping a nuke somewhere and we all go into Martial Law . . . at election time. As I have said, they will stop at nothing to stop Trump. As good a man as he is, and as hard as he is willing to fight, I am beginning to doubt he will ever be allowed to succeed. He won't back down and they will stop at nothing. Without a miracle, they have the upper hand.
Do not forget establishment republicans like drooling McConnell and Cornyn are fully on board. A republican pundit was caught on camera last year saying "I wish Trump would just die."
Please don't encourage any of these idiots even suggesting use of Nukes. Once it pops, everyone will fire them off trying to prevent their destruction before they can use them.
I’m not encouraging it - and you are correct. It would lead to massive destruction and life on planet earth would change - probably forever. It will bring the New World Order very quickly . . . and keep Trump from running.
No one wants to fire nukes, they are just the ultimate gold standard used by political bodies to affect policy. The use of nukes is the ultimate “big stick”. Not for war but for coercion.
We listened to Adam Corollas interview of Tucker last night. There are many interesting things they hit on. Well worth the hour on YouTube. Also fascinating is Tucker’s conversation with Victor Orban from Hungary and his comments on Ukraine. Both were excellent
Viktor Orban is an excellent leader; I've come to think. You know that a plane load of supplies was delivered to Maui from Hungary aboard a C-17 NATO transport aircraft?
I spotted an article late last night/early this morning. Only one and I think they go their info from the interview. Hungry took in 250 families at least. Our FEMA is not doing a damn thing. The response is worse than Katrina and MSM is praising Xiden. If it is been a red state, this would have been 24/7 coverage and all of it bad.
Tucker is now openly saying that he fears Trump will be assassinated. He also asked Trump about that during the X interview with him. Trump did not give a direct answer.
Scary thought, especially if Tucker keeps yapping about it like he was the Oracle of Delphi! But if assassination is in our future, I am reminded of a baseball umpire named McKinley. Every bad call would set off a round of "They shot the wrong McKinley!"
For many years I have been a periodic listener to Carolla's podcast. My pattern was usually that I listened and enjoyed his comedic insights until I couldn't take any more of his masturbation jokes. Then I would miss hearing his wisdom and go back for a while. At any rate, it looks like he grew up quite a bit since his wife decided to walk out on his marriage. Or perhaps he just matured. He always impressed me with his intelligence, insight and wit, not to mention that he pulled himself up out of what he described as a home where his mother was a left-wing lunatic and his father was generally absent. He has done a myriad of things in his life, from his radio and television shows to writing best-settling books, to acting, directing and producing, in addition to his early years doing construction labor, where he picked up carpentry skills. I don't agree with many of his political or philosophical positions, but he strikes me as someone who develops his positions after actually thinking about them. His combination with Dennis Prager, in "No Safe Spaces" shows him at his most thoughtful, yet funny best. But he is very definitely not for everyone, so a word to the wise.....
May I suggest that those US Representatives and Senators who support this war, this insanity, get their gear and advance on foot, clearing the mine fields for the advancing Ukranian troops. The sacrifices of Biden, Sullivan, Nuland, Graham, Schumer, Pelosi (Nancy and Paul), and all those saying "aye" to this madness, will be greatly appreciated by the American people. And it'll be good riddance! FJB
Hey all the Uni-party showed up in Kiev for their taste, shaking hands and all. At that point, I knew the war was fake. Lots of ordinary people dying for this unwinnable war but not all the evil persons behind it.
Polls are designed to shape public opinion, not reflect it. Besides, I don’t care about Ukrainians’ opinions because although I am sympathetic to the plight of the ordinary Ukie I am as mindful of the causes and consequences of what’s happening there as I am of NYFC, which is a lot closer to me geographically and temporally. My family has roots in both places, and as they’re both going to hell because of criminally, well, criminal leaders, I’ve no mind to try to slow the trip for either down. Democracy here and abroad is a bad joke anyway - I didn’t vote for Biden, Zelensky, Kathy Hochul or Eric Adam. So stop stealing my money to fund this crap. I’ve got my own ammo to buy.
The ordinary Ukie and the ordinary Russkie are the ones who suffer death and severe harm during war. The ones that orchestrate it are usually safe and secure while sipping a fine bourbon.
"The only reason we are involved in Ukraine is Putin taking over is a threat to the bribes Biden and others in Washington collect through surrogates."
Damn straight! This comes to mind:
"...there are none so blind as they that won't see."
—Jonathan Swift
As plain as it has been almost since the start, the only ones clinging to the lie that it is a legitimate cause are the ones who prosper from the corruption — this nation's Political, Corporate, and Donor Classes.
Yep. HW lost his bid for re-election less because the war ended but because he revealed himself to be a liar ("Read my lips: no new taxes!"), as well as utterly out of touch with those of us desperately searching for work after having lost our jobs to the recession — we were just a faceless segment of the population, a statistic to be managed. I held my nose and voted for him because I would not support the Democrat agenda, even then.
Snacking on pork rinds doesn't mean you're one of us who have to work for a living, run a small business, live within our means and pray nothing catastrophic wipes out what little we've managed to save. F'ing poseur.
"We gave him $100 billion. What is he doing with all that money?"
He's livin' it up! After affording the lifestyle of an emperor, the lion's share is kicked back to the blue wing of the Uniparty, and a significantly smaller share to key members of its red wing.
"The best thing we could do for the people of Russia and Ukraine is for the United States to step up and broker peace."
With all due respect, Brother Don, but brokered peace agreements don't last, and really, they are just costly theater that an administration is doing something. Al Haig, in his brief stint as Sec'y of State, logged more frequent-flier miles on Air Force II with the Reagan administration's shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East than HW did in the eight years he was veep.
More often than not, the world ends up with a Treaty of Versailles, or worse - all it really does is give busy-work to Foggy Bottom careerists.
On the other hand, we demonstrated to Japan that we were prepared to wipe it off the face of the Earth - it surrendered in short order, and hasn't dared pull a stunt like that since.
No, a US-brokered peace between Russia and Ukraine is a fool's errand. To the extent that I care, I'd prefer to see Russia prevail in decisive fashion, and the sooner, the better.
"I say to hell with the Ukrainian election. It would be all for show. Why should I pay for it?"
Amen.
While the difference is infinitesimal, Wilhelm is easily the most corrupt.
The article pointed out that the Germans did not hold an election in 1944, unlike Britain and The United States. Uhm, yeah they did. It happened on July 20, 1944. That certainly would have ended the war in Europe almost by a year, but it failed.
As far as Zelinski and Putin and who is more powerful or popular, instead of politicians stuffing their pockets with CAMPAIGN Re-election FUNDS, stop subsidizing these wars and get us out.
Xiden has been the master of corruption for a lot longer than the others. Circumstances have limited his amount of theft compared to the others, but still, an easy choice.
The Demonrats have installed like-minded idiots throughout our government for ages, it's accelerated with Obama in 2008. The courts and all the administrative heads and policies all have Marxist, progressive and liberal leanings. Not quite right, I say.
Lest we forget, Romney has more in common with Biden than just their support for giving millions in taxpayer dollars to the corrupt oligarchs in Ukraine. Like Biden, Romney also had offspring that went to Ukraine and made substantial money from the criminal elements there. Having criminals in both parties helps insure there won't be any serious investigations into their crimes against Americans. There's plenty of hush money being spread around the swamp.
Zelensky is our puppet. Not the other way around. We put him where he is. We are specialists in election interference, internationally and at home. Like many puppets he’s feeling a little drunk with his power. If the war can be stopped, it should be stopped. It’s just a meat grinder for young men who will be no better off with “victory”. There are no good guys here. Not Ukraine, not Russia, and not us and our EU lapdogs.
Romney loves it because he’s a Neo-con Neanderthal. He’s bought and paid for just like Biden. You think the grifters are just the Bidens and the Clintons? Get real. It’s most of DC.
The ruling class doesn’t care what we think unless it means they lose power. That’s why they hate Trump. Most Americans don’t even know what’s going on in Ukraine. It’s not a hot button topic for them.
This is a big dangerous mess that is not helping anybody who’s not a ruling class criminal.
All you have to do is look at who all showed up to shake Zelensky's hand. All of them are getting a taste, including a couple I thought knew better like Cruz. I would say Zelensky is the Deep State puppet. not 'Our'. He jailed the opposition, jailed priests, closed Churches. And has the goods on Biden to keep our money flowing to him. Bet if Biden actually loses the election, all kinds of records from the Ukraine show up.... I need more coffee and to touch grass today. I hope you all have a Blessed day in your endeavors.
Exactly... agreed... time to stop the nonsense in so many ways. No need to list them here; those of us with an open mind know. We need more people like you AND Miranda Devine.
None of us should have to pay for anything in the Ukraine. Our Federal Republic is dying a death by 10,000 cuts. Everywhere we look there is corruption galore. God has removed His protection and has turned our nation over to reprobates. We who love our Republic must continue to fight and pray for His mercy and a great awakening. I see no other way.
We, Western liberal democracies, are breaking the Covenant with God. We are unleashing chaos and evil. Fight and pray, yes.
Watched a sermon a month or so ago by Pastor John MacArthur on YT; he stated the reason everything is falling apart in this country is because we’re already under God’s Judgement.
Timothy McVeigh tried.......
Sorry to disagree with you. Murdering children, indiscriminately, as collateral damage, McVeigh deserves no praise from anyone.
Double dittos. All McVeigh did was give Bill Clinton a couple minutes of looking like an ephemeral president. What did that get us?
I'm not praising the man or saying he was right in his target. He tried to warn us. So, for that matter, did Charles Manson.
Got it Tony. Didn't think you praised him. I just hate people who "accept" collateral damage or no forethought to actions affecting others Much like our federal gov
Right action, wrong target.
I don't know if you read all the notes, but one senior agent said this: "If you have a problem with federal officials, there are plenty of places you can get into a firefight with them. You don't need to involve children."
It's been around 30 years since I heard the comments and my version is paraphrased, but the clarity is Astounding.
God's giving me great clarity while I ask for his ever tightening grip during my mourning for Mary so that I may make fewer embarrassing mistakes. I feel the lovely presence of Jesus.
You will always miss Mary, but God and time will help you heal.
So sorry for your loss. May you continue to feel the lovely presence of Jesus. God bless you rev!
My condolences. Stay busy and let time do the heavy lifting!
My dearest Gloria passed two1/2 years ago. God's blessed me and gave me trials. It will get better. Prayers to you Rev.
Sorry for your loss 4DC. I relate though it was my special needs daughter died unexpectedly in a tragic way at age 37. She was and remains the love of my life. May God continue to bless you!
Thank you. I lost my stepson to teen sucide . We are not supposed to outlive our children.
Oh DC! What a tragedy! I am so sorry. Yes, we are not supposed to outlive them. Suicides are so shocking. My ex wife took her life. Especially hurtful to my son. May God continue to embrace you in unending love! It will be wonderful to be reunited with our loved ones!!
Sorry to hear about your loss Rev.
God Bless you and your Family
Fortunately I am blessed with a wonderful group of friends called Surber Nation. God bless you everyone. Tiny Tim.
The Tiny Tim in The Christmas Carol, not the TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS version.
A follow up on my embarrassing mistakes. I haven't mentioned on how I called the cops on a postal worker who I suspected wrongly was the ex-husband of my lovely neighbor who will no longer speak to me because of that incident. I have no longer have my supernatural spidey sense that tells me of evildoers. Hence my new profile picture of the hooded hawk along side of my HANNIBAL THE CANNIBAL profile picture. So many stories to tell. So little time. (I'm riffing Jack Nicholson's THE JOKER IN THE ORIGINAL BATMAN MOVIE WITH MICHAEL KEATON.

The scam is that it is a huge convenient distraction. The left needs lots of distractions.
So do Rinos like Graham and Romney.

It's Kiev to me and I am now saying I am on Team Putin. Peace out!

Snacking on pork rinds doesn't mean you're one of us who have to work for a living, run a small business, live within our means and pray nothing catastrophic wipes out what little we've managed to save. F'ing poseur.
"We gave him $100 billion. What is he doing with all that money?"
He's livin' it up! After affording the lifestyle of an emperor, the lion's share is kicked back to the blue wing of the Uniparty, and a significantly smaller share to key members of its red wing.
"The best thing we could do for the people of Russia and Ukraine is for the United States to step up and broker peace."
With all due respect, Brother Don, but brokered peace agreements don't last, and really, they are just costly theater that an administration is doing something. Al Haig, in his brief stint as Sec'y of State, logged more frequent-flier miles on Air Force II with the Reagan administration's shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East than HW did in the eight years he was veep.
More often than not, the world ends up with a Treaty of Versailles, or worse - all it really does is give busy-work to Foggy Bottom careerists.
On the other hand, we demonstrated to Japan that we were prepared to wipe it off the face of the Earth - it surrendered in short order, and hasn't dared pull a stunt like that since.
No, a US-brokered peace between Russia and Ukraine is a fool's errand. To the extent that I care, I'd prefer to see Russia prevail in decisive fashion, and the sooner, the better.
"I say to hell with the Ukrainian election. It would be all for show. Why should I pay for it?"
Amen.
While the difference is infinitesimal, Wilhelm is easily the most corrupt.
... and besides, GHW put ketchup on his cottage cheese. I'm just sayin'.
There is no accounting for taste...
I am totally in favour of forced peace and the partitioning of Ukraine.
Indeed, and that is different than a brokered "peace."
The article pointed out that the Germans did not hold an election in 1944, unlike Britain and The United States. Uhm, yeah they did. It happened on July 20, 1944. That certainly would have ended the war in Europe almost by a year, but it failed.
As far as Zelinski and Putin and who is more powerful or popular, instead of politicians stuffing their pockets with CAMPAIGN Re-election FUNDS, stop subsidizing these wars and get us out.
Are you referring to the assassination attempt of der Fuhrer as an election? LOL
The ."Will" of the people. Isn't that what VOTING is supposed to be ??
Another poll that is difficult to answer. The cat is getting too smart.
Xiden has been the master of corruption for a lot longer than the others. Circumstances have limited his amount of theft compared to the others, but still, an easy choice.
The Demonrats have installed like-minded idiots throughout our government for ages, it's accelerated with Obama in 2008. The courts and all the administrative heads and policies all have Marxist, progressive and liberal leanings. Not quite right, I say.
Lest we forget, Romney has more in common with Biden than just their support for giving millions in taxpayer dollars to the corrupt oligarchs in Ukraine. Like Biden, Romney also had offspring that went to Ukraine and made substantial money from the criminal elements there. Having criminals in both parties helps insure there won't be any serious investigations into their crimes against Americans. There's plenty of hush money being spread around the swamp.
Zelensky is our puppet. Not the other way around. We put him where he is. We are specialists in election interference, internationally and at home. Like many puppets he’s feeling a little drunk with his power. If the war can be stopped, it should be stopped. It’s just a meat grinder for young men who will be no better off with “victory”. There are no good guys here. Not Ukraine, not Russia, and not us and our EU lapdogs.
Romney loves it because he’s a Neo-con Neanderthal. He’s bought and paid for just like Biden. You think the grifters are just the Bidens and the Clintons? Get real. It’s most of DC.
The ruling class doesn’t care what we think unless it means they lose power. That’s why they hate Trump. Most Americans don’t even know what’s going on in Ukraine. It’s not a hot button topic for them.
This is a big dangerous mess that is not helping anybody who’s not a ruling class criminal.
All you have to do is look at who all showed up to shake Zelensky's hand. All of them are getting a taste, including a couple I thought knew better like Cruz. I would say Zelensky is the Deep State puppet. not 'Our'. He jailed the opposition, jailed priests, closed Churches. And has the goods on Biden to keep our money flowing to him. Bet if Biden actually loses the election, all kinds of records from the Ukraine show up.... I need more coffee and to touch grass today. I hope you all have a Blessed day in your endeavors.
When I said ours I was referring to the US Government.
Sorry Tanto, I took that wrong. I was pretty grumpy and cynical this morning. I appologize.
Thank you, no problem, tj.
Grumpy is my middle name.
Exactly... agreed... time to stop the nonsense in so many ways. No need to list them here; those of us with an open mind know. We need more people like you AND Miranda Devine.
