U.S. President Biden marked Ukraine’s independence day Wednesday by hailing its resolve after six months of “relentless” attacks by Russian forces and said the Eastern European nation will be sovereign and prosperous for decades to come. Mr. Biden announced nearly $3 billion in weapons and equipment support for Ukraine ahead of festivities commemorating Ukraine’s declaration of independence on Aug. 24, 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The money will help Ukraine upgrade its air defense against forces led by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invaded in late February after comments that seemed to deny Ukraine’s right to statehood. “Ukrainians have inspired the world with their extraordinary courage

Wouldn't it be grand if Americans could be freed from the Democrat Socialists and the Republicans who enable them?

Biden's handlers, believing that he's running out of ways to force the "Great Re-Set" on America and concerned that we won't all be forced into EVs by 2030, decide to crash the dollar in a tsunami of overspending/debt so that the Yuan can become the world's reserve currency and Hunter can pull in billions under the table from the CCP making the Biden family the richest family in the newly-impoverished United States of the World. So how much of that scenario is too crazy?

Money is really no object. If you can't get it by taxation, just print it. In our electronic age, it's a matter of just punching in a few numbers in a computer and bingo, magic money. Our economic downfall all started when we got off the Gold standard. Couple that with digital currency manipulation via computers, it's no wonder Trillions of dollars can be generated and spent in the wink of an eye.

Wasn't it just 3 weeks ago that this jackass send them some gazillions? I for one am sick and tired that we are depleting our money helping the Ukraine fight the Russians. Let Zelinski call the Europeans and have them step up and fork barrels full of cash to the Ukraine. Enough is enough. First the vegetable in the WH did not see the writing on the wall what the Russians had assembled when surrounding the Ukraine whilst we were busy showing the planet what a disgusting withdrawal from Afghanistan we were staging. We needed to underline what a moron who lived somewhere in the WH. Bathroom probably. Then we had Austin the disaster asking the public 'what can I do' when our guys died. This vegetable is in charge of the army??? My dog can do a better job. But we are not finished. We have Milley Vanilly doing what?? Oh, nothing. Enter absolute a@@hole Blinken blanken.... Instead of using the weapon etc. stuff that we could have shipped down to the Ukraine we left an 85 $ billion present for the Taliban. Enough already! I am sick and tired of our money being thrown around by the incompetent diaper stinking moron in the WH..... somewhere in one of the bathrooms!

Security guards at several high-end stores in the West Village and Soho say they feel like sitting ducks as thieves loot their stores in broad daylight with no consequences. The two NYC nabes—and their high-end shops—have become a target for enterprising robbers, like the group of seven men and women who sauntered into the Lululemon store on 14th Street and 9th Avenue around noon on Aug. 16 and made off with close to $30,000 in stolen goods. The gang grabbed clothing and other gear and stuffed them into large sacks and a shopping cart, walking nonchalantly by a security guard who appeared on video to do nothing

Washington—Pfizer’s COVID-19 pill appears to provide little or no benefit for younger adults, while still reducing the risk of hospitalization and death for high-risk seniors, according to a large study published Wednesday. The results from a 109,000-patient Israeli study are likely to renew questions about the U.S. government’s use of Paxlovid, which has become the go-to treatment for COVID-19 due to its at-home convenience. The Biden administration has spent more than $10 billion purchasing the drug and making it available at thousands of pharmacies through its test-and-treat initiative.(Snip)But people between the ages of 40 and 65 saw no measurable benefit,

The United States is facing a looming crisis of utility shutoffs, with a record number of households falling behind on their power bills, industry observers and experts say. About 20 million US households, or one out of six homes, are behind on their utility bills, the most on record, according to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (Neada). 'I expect a tsunami of shutoffs,' Jean Su, a senior attorney at the non-profit Center for Biological Diversity, which tracks the power industry, told Bloomberg this week. Electricity prices have soared due to rising costs for natural gas, which has skyrocketed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February.

The devastation along Lake Street in Minneapolis that followed George Floyd's murder in 2020 has attracted millions of dollars of public and private money to rebuild the distinctive urban corridor. But U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was in town Thursday to reinforce the role that public transit plays in the rebuilding. And he pointed to the federal government's $12 million grant to help Hennepin County upgrade the thoroughfare and prepare it for a new arterial bus rapid transit route called the B Line that will debut in 2024. "So much of life and vibrancy of this corridor is the small business community," Buttigieg said, standing outside the Mercado Central marketplace

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) voted for a coronavirus stimulus package that handed $75,000 to a social justice group his church founded. The group, the Martin Luther King Sr. Collaborative, is run by the church, which compensates Warnock $120,000, according to the Washington Free Beacon. The money flowing to the Martin Luther King Sr. Collaborative raises questions about whether Warnock personally benefited from the American Rescue Plan while taxpayers shouldered the $1.9 trillion price of the bill that likely fueled 40-year-high inflation. From 2016 to at least 2020, Warnock was the CEO of Martin Luther King Sr. Collaborative, which was founded by the Ebenezer Baptist Church,
