The Biden administration is sending another $600 million in military aid to Ukraine, the State Department announced on Thursday, as the U.S. rushes more weapons to fuel Kyiv's counteroffensive against Russia. The White House said it was the 21st time that the Defense Department has pulled weapons and other equipment off the shelves to deliver to Ukraine. The package will include more of the same types of ammunition and equipment that have helped Ukrainian forces beat back the Russian forces in portions of the east and south.

Only concern is that these weapons and ammunition transfers will prevent the IRS, EPA, FDA and other non law enforcement federal agencies from being fully equipped to confront Americans. The thought that the additional 87,000 IRS agents have to audit small businesses, churches and individuals making less than $400,000 with just a handful of bullets and only a sidearm is frightening. Recall the video of the FBI agents blocking the entrance to Mar-a-Largo last month with serious automatic weapons in their hands. Do you really expect an EPA inspector or a Food & Drug employee to have less than these weapons of war? Come on, man. As to Ukraine, Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons, so this arms shipment is backing Putin, who appears to be as ill as Biden, into a corner,

This is wrong. Not one more dollar or one more bullet goes to Ukraine. The American people deserve a total accounting of everything that has already been sent. I want to know who authorizes this spending. Has Joe decided he is King now? It is unconscionable that one dollar or one bullet goes out of this country when Americans are suffering. We demand full accountability of how much has been delivered there and exactly who authorized it. Do we even know what happens to it all when it gets to Ukraine?

The Baltics? Poland? Undoubtedly Moldova was on the agenda. Romania? Turkey?

This is the same scam the Democrats ran in the runnup to the Civil War. Back then they tried to arm the slave holding states while disarming the north. Because the country is organized differently, there is no geographically safe (for them) place to send the armaments inside the country. And from what we've already seen, those armaments are shipped out of Ukraine elsewhere, to America's enemies around the globe. Meanwhile, are they being replaced in our arsenals? Somehow I doubt this.

The recent flurry of propaganda showing progress against Russia is being paid off. Biden probably told them they need to freshen up the propaganda and make it appear as they’re winning so he could get away with sending more. No mention of the 10% for the big guy, here, but you can bet the Biden family is getting theirs.

Help the Ukrainians stop the Russians in Ukraine, or fight the Russians with NATO troops in Poland, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. There is no actual third option, regardless of how much the fantasy spinners say that there is. Reality is hard sometimes. And no matter how much you plan for "what you would do"........The enemy gets a vote. And Russia is the enemy, and they mean to move their borders out to what they deem as 'more defensible locations', which happen to be in other people's countries. But then, Putin thinks the USSR was perfectly wonderful, and that the Eastern Bloc countries should still be his property. Putin thinks he is correcting "an error in history".

I am really amazed at how propagandized the commentors are on this issue. I would suggest getting some REAL sources of information. Look at some actual videos by folks who are there. Read accounts by people who have been fighting. Look at some foreign military breifiings, there is an Austrian briefing that is useful. And look at some non-US sources. There are some Australians reporting which shows up on youtube which are pretty factual. This is normally a pretty sensible crowd of folks....but not on this issue. Minds are so closed to the facts on this. Spend a bit of time on independent research....look at a range of youtube videos. You'll find a lot of pro Russian stuff and some pro Ukrainian stuff, and there are a lot of folks working to try to get the facts, too. Snark and 'cool comments' aren't actually a substitute for facts and learning. It saddens me to see so many closed minds here, with so much disinformation and so little actual information. There are some long videos done by Perun, an Australian/ which look at the larger issues such as logistics and economics, based on best information, but then, that takes a lot of time and effort to listen and learn. I suspect too many will just enjoy their snark and stay disinformed and misinformed.

Here's a challenge. Watch this video, and see if you learn anything. This is an Austrailian who normally reports on military logistics, economics and battle planning. The title is "Myths and Claims of the Russian-Ukraine War". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x0O_oObJBU&ab_channel=Perun But only watch if you are looking for a fresh, outside view, and some facts.

Despite the White House fury that GOP governors face for sending migrants to sanctuary cities, El Paso's Democrat-led city government has been doing the same for weeks -- and is asking for the Biden administration to pay for it. Led by Mayor Oscar Leeser, a Democrat, the Texas border city has dispatched at least 28 charter buses filled with migrants to New York City since August 23, at a cost of more than $600,000, KFOX-TV reported this week. City officials say that they expect the buses to be paid for by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as part of a quarterly reimbursement process covering emergency food and shelter for migrants.

Next time, Joe Biden should be more precise when he calls for national unity. Because he and his fellow Democrats don’t like the kind of unity they’re getting from Republican governors. The decision by GOP leaders in Texas, Florida and Arizona to “share” their abundance of foreign migrants with northern cities and states that boast of their sanctuary status is apparently not a gift the Dems appreciate. In fact, the president and his party are so mad they’re setting fire to the welcome wagons. Shipping the migrants north is outrageous, a stunt, pure politics, they wail.

My Son Hunter, the new movie from Breitbart News, is a fact-based dramatization of the life of debauchery and corruption lived by the first son Hunter Biden. Although the movie takes certain artistic liberties, many scenes portray true accounts of the Biden scion’s life; this “True Fact” series will detail those accuracies. True Fact: Hunter Biden sat on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, while his then-Vice President father was in charge of U.S. policy toward Ukraine. Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in 2014 — while his father was described as the “public face of the administration’s handling of Ukraine.”

“The documents were declassified!” “Trump had every right keep them!” “They posed no risk to national security!” Conservatives have been defending Trump with these kinds of arguments ever since the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago last month. They’re missing the point, though. Seeking to prove that Trump did nothing wrong in possessing these documents is like trying to establish that the victims of Stalin’s show trials weren’t in fact Trotskyites. Well, of course they weren’t. But Stalin didn’t care if his enemies – perceived or real – were Trotskyites or “counter-revolutionaries.” What mattered to him was that they were his enemies.
