A pro-Ukraine group launched a six-figure ad buy in key districts in a bid to urge Republican members of Congress to push forward the supplemental legislation, which includes military aid for Ukraine, for a vote on the House floor. The minute-long spot from Republicans for Ukraine, “No Weakness in the Face of Aggression,” features lifelong party members across the country describing the importance of the United States’s continued support of Ukraine. In the ad, a Republican man from California says, “If we don’t support Ukraine, I fear China to potentially see that as a signal where they believe that they can invade their neighbors, too.”

What do people not understand here? We have no money. We are 35 TRILLION dollars in debt. We are being invaded with the willing assistance of at least 90% of our government. Spend the money we do not have to close the borders we do not have...

It's sickening that we now have advertising for war. It may not be the best war, but it's the only one we've got.

China sees the US sending weapons to Ukraine and not being able to keep up our own stocks to protect ourselves. Hoe does that show strength to anyone, especially to the country (China) who owns our president?

Communism coming out of Russia has not been our biggest problem since well before 9/11/2001. Now if their concern was communism out of China, we would need all of the congressmen to get off of China's payroll first. Their true motivation is protecting the money laundering operation and the biolabs in Ukraine.

So they found some ignorant woman in freaking Wyoming who thinks the money is being used to fight communism and the Democrats see that as ‘Republican support’ for continuing to pour taxpayer dollars down a rathole to support a war that Ukraine is losing. What we are supporting is an extremely corrupt regime who is spending our money on anything they wish while American needs are ignored. This ad will not change minds are foment constituent blowback. It’s just going to p**s everybody off.

Answer the ad with a very simple message. For example: It's more important to Biden to spend more billions in Ukraine than to protect Americans by sealing the border and ejecting people here illegally. WHY? how about this? Why does Biden support the fascist dictator of Ukraine who closes churches and arrests priests and imprisons oppositionists --and has murdered some, to the one in Russia who does the same (except the attacks on religion... at the moment)? how about this? Why does Biden accuse Trump of having dictatorial aims when he himself has imprisoned dozens and dozens of Americans, many without trial or adequate representation, or the harassment and often arrest of "dissidents" or former associates of a former President, the persecution and malicious prosecution of same, who ignores Supreme Court rulings, who runs a "command-and-control" fascist-communist regime? Here's another, Does Biden keep lying to the American people that the economy is great because he wants to trick you into not objecting to he sending billions to Ukraine? Maybe? Which foreign commie/fascist dictatorship has stuffed more money into the Biden family pockets, Russia, Ukraine or China? Some messages may be better for general ads. The Biden White House and campaign are loaded and larded up with obama and clinton people are among the most vicious. Evey Repub must steel their spines.

BORDER TOWN USA: A Venezuelan migrant who illegally crossed the Mexican border into Texas in 2022 is charged in the murder of a Georgia nursing student.

If you've been paying any attention at all to the news for the past couple of years, you've no doubt heard about the increased levels of crime and violence in Chicago, along with so many other large, blue cities. At the same time, we've seen a disturbing rise in school shootings and other criminal activity in our public schools, with the Windy City's public schools additionally being overrun by the children of illegal migrants. Rushing to the rescue this week was Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. His brilliant plan to address these concerns involves keeping a campaign promise he made while running for office.

Citing data obtained from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Fox News reports that “Chinese nationals are the second-largest nationality encountered at the border in San Diego Sector since the fiscal year began in October.” “There have been 21,000 Chinese nationals encountered, second only to Colombia (28,000),” the data revealed. “Third is Mexican nationals with 18,700, followed by Brazil (8,700) and Ecuador (7,700).

The Democrat-controlled state of New York has been quietly handing out cash payments to thousands of migrants under a rule change qualifying non-citizens for welfare. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) modified its Safety Net Assistance (SNA) program’s parameters in 2023, making migrants who have filled out asylum application forms eligible to receive even more taxpayer dollars. A memo quietly sent out to New York welfare office workers from the Hochul administration on May 12, 2023, carefully revised the standards needed to qualify for SNA, expanding them to include “non-citizens who are considered permanently residing under color of law (PRUCOL).”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned allies Saturday that an “artificial deficit” of weapons for his country risks giving Russia breathing space, hours after his military chief said he was withdrawing troops from the eastern city of Avdiivka. Zelenskyy spoke to the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of security and foreign policy officials. Ukraine is back on the defensive against Russia in the nearly 2-year-old war, hindered by low ammunition supplies and a shortage of personnel. “Ukrainians have proven that we can force Russia to retreat,” he said. “We can get our land back, and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin can lose, and this has already happened more than once on the battlefield.”

A jury found Wayne LaPierre and the National Rifle Association liable in a New York state civil corruption trial Friday, ruling that LaPierre misappropriated millions of dollars when he was NRA chief executive officer to finance a lavish lifestyle while the gun-rights organization neglected proper financial management.

The trial in the lawsuit brought by New York attorney general Letitia James in 2020 came after a three-year investigation into the NRA, which is registered as a nonprofit organization in New York.

Joe Biden may be trying to revive his presidency by bringing out his inner "Dark Brandon," but according to all the polls the American people aren't buying it one little bit. It's just any poll. It's every poll. Including the granddaddy of them all, Gallup, which just released its new numbers on Biden's ratings with the voters, and the news is simply devastating. WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans’ approval of President Joe Biden’s job performance has edged down three percentage points to 38%, just one point shy of his all-time low and well below the 50% threshold that has typically led to reelection for incumbents.

The headlines are full of stories about illegal aliens: They’re raping children, murdering young women, crashing their cars into children, assaulting and murdering police officers…and the list goes on. However, we’re told that we’re stuck with them. Well, we’re not. In the 1950s, when there was political will—and a plea from Mexico to send its citizens home—we did mass deport illegal aliens. Like Pakistan deporting its illegal Afghan aliens, El Salvador jailing its gangs, or Argentina balancing its budget in nine weeks, it just requires political will. I made a lot of assertions about illegal aliens in my opening paragraph. Let me back them up with just a few examples.
