The Truth About the $40 Billion in US
Aid Ostensibly Being spent to arm Ukraine

I think Scott Ritter jumped the gun in calling the $40 billion dollar Ukrainian aid bill a “game changer.” Once you take time to parse the details you quickly realize the media is misleading the American public on the reality of the $40 billion dollars ostensibly designated to buy weapons and equip Ukraine with a cornucopia of lethality. Mark Cancian at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (aka CSIS) provides an excellent breakdown of what was actually appropriated. Here is a quick summary:

Comments:

Most of this "aid" money will probably be washed and dried end up in the democrats' and many republicans', bank accounts/campaign coffers, with 10% going to the big guy of course. That’s my humble opinion.

$40 billion is chump change compared to the TRILLIONS (as much as $15 TRILLION since 2020) whizzed away in response to COVIDS...on stimulus, paycheck protection, warp speed "vaccine" development and distribution, medical subsidies, and all the rest. But that doesn't rile too many...it's certainly not the cause of any domestic economic problems. But this $40 billion is the camel's backbreaker. And now we need to build new submarines, improve our nuclear missile fleet and their warheads, expand the navy, and reinforce the army, all while ignoring our national sovereignty as represented by its daily rape at the border.

Clearly the US military industrial complex is pleased as punch with all the government money coming their way to resupply the US military, NATO militaries with backfilled modern weapons, and the Ukrainians with all sorts of weapons and other military equipment. The question should be, how much of that money will be raked off through corrupt practices both in the USA, in Europe, and in Ukraine, as you surely can’t trust the wimpy Republicans to follow that money!

How Stupid Is Whoopi Goldberg, Really? 49 replies

That’s not a rhetorical question, by the way. Seriously, it’s hard not to wonder how it’s possible that Whoopi Goldberg fancies herself to be an authoritative voice on current events. Quite frankly, I can’t understand how that happened. She says a lot of dumb things. Like on Monday, she went into hysterics about the archbishop of San Francisco banning Nancy Pelosi from Holy Communion in his diocese over her pro-abortion views. “The archbishop of San Francisco is calling for speaker Nancy Pelosi to be denied receiving Communion because of her pro-choice stance,” Goldberg noted. “This is not your job, dude.

Is Kamal Harris trying to sound stupid? I suppose the theory would be that she is trying to get people to underestimate her. But I have a different theory: that she is really stupid, and having grown up as a hot chick, she suffers from hot chick syndrome. That is, she’s just not received an adequate level of negative feedback from male authority figures necessary to correct her behavior. I think that she doesn’t think in complete sentences, and when she begins a sentence during a speech or interview That would account for this level of ungrammatical inanity: “You know, when we talk about our children, I know for this group

These people will get us all killed. Mitt Romney called on our NATO allies to prepare for a nuclear strike from Russia. The US has already invested tens of billions of dollars in military weapons to Ukraine. The New York Post reported: The US and its NATO allies should prepare a “devastating” response to potential Russian nuclear action, Sen. Mitt Romney said on Saturday. The call to action comes on the heels of threats from the Kremlin and warnings from Russian diplomats that the country’s Ukraine invasion could lead to a nuclear strike, the Utah Republican wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times.

On Thursday – just hours after approving another $40 billion in US taxpayer dollars for Ukraine – the US Senate blocked a bipartisan $48 billion aid package for restaurants, gyms, and other small businesses that have been struggling in Biden’s post-lockdown economy. Presumably, they can’t launder that money as easily as shuffling it off to Ukraine, so American business owners get the shaft yet again from its traitorous elected officials. In other words, just another day in the DC Swamp…Needing 60 votes to move forward, the Senators killed the package with a 52-43 vote. Five Senators refrained from casting a vote at all

Months ago The Gateway Pundit was told that Michigan canvassers were being paid NOT TO collect signatures to expand Voter ID laws in the state. Democrats do not believe in Voter ID. It’s easier to cheat that way. Michigan activists told The Gateway Pundit they were having difficulty reaching their goal because GOP canvassers were being paid by someone NOT to work.

Last Friday was Jen Psaki’s last day as White House Press Psecretary. If you’re addicted to teen girl psnark, condescension, deceit, and ignorance, you’re going to miss her—and you can still catch those so-not-endearing qualities at MSNBC. The big question, of course, was whether Karine Jean-Pierre would be able to fill Psaki’s pshoes, in terms of snark and ignorance, or if she’d grow beyond Psaki and actually be a polite, intelligent person. So far, after Day 1, Jean-Pierre has done something amazing: She’s actually worse than Psaki.

Donald J. Trump was the best POTUS in my very long lifetime. His policies were effective, making America prosperous, energy independent, and lowering minority unemployment to record low levels. Everything he did, with the possible exception of the COVID lockdown, was quintessentially Trump; competent, encouraging, and salutary for America and her people. We were blessed to have him in the White House. Although many Americans cringed, we nonetheless put up with Trump’s coarseness and his inflated ego because he gave America back to the people.

Warped mass murderer Salvador Ramos was a failing high school loner with an 'aggressive streak', who was bullied for being poor and mocked for wearing eyeliner.That is how former classmates and colleagues have described the killer, 18, who slaughtered at least 19 innocent children in the second deadliest school shooting in American history in Uvdale, Texas on Tuesday, before being shot dead in a shootout with a border patrol officer. Described by one pupil as an 'emo', his lisp also made him a target, according to the Washington Post, with classmates claiming he endured gay slurs. Another said he was mocked for his clothing.

K-12 schools must allow boys into girls’ private areas to obtain federal funds for lunches, breakfasts, and snacks, the Biden administration announced this month. A U.S. Department of Education spokesman told The Federalist the Biden administration’s press releases from several agencies announcing this policy will be followed by formal rulemaking in June. “It seems to be playing politics with feeding poor kids, which is really unfortunate,” John Elcesser, executive director of the Indiana Non-Public Education Association, said via phone amid weeks of attempting to sort out these new demands with government officials on behalf of private schools in his state.

When in God’s name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?” Biden said in remarks from the White House just before 9 p.m.

President Biden will sign an executive order on Wednesday requiring new use-of-force rules for federal law enforcement and encouraging local police departments to make similar changes. The measure is the product of months of consultations with police professional groups and reform activists. The executive order is the fallback position for the administration after Congress failed to agree last year on a package of reforms dubbed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Senior administration officials say relatives of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, will be present for the signing. Both Floyd and Taylor died during police action — Floyd while in

AOC has announced plans to ditch her Tesla, weeks after Elon Musk told her to stop flirting with him on Twitter. The Green New Deal-backing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 32, told Bloomberg in an interview Wednesday that she wants to switch to an electronic car that is made domestically by unionized workers. Currently, the only such vehicles she could consider are Ford's huge F-150 Lightning truck, which will be released later this year, or a Chevy Bolt. The Democrat told the network that she purchased her Model 3 in 2020 around the time that the Covid-19 began.
