Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, fresh off his allegations that the U.S. was behind the Nord Stream pipeline explosions, has published a report that alleged the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is aware of widespread corruption in Ukraine and the embezzlement of US aid. Hersh’s report accuses the Ukrainian government of using U.S. taxpayer money to purchase diesel from Russia to fuel its military. He further suggested that Ukrainian officials are “competing” to set up front companies for export contracts to private arms dealers around the world.

Why does everything funded by US Taxpayers cost five times as much as it should and involve some level of corruption? We should not be funding this at all. I detect a pattern here.

Not surprised about this news. Assumed it was happening the whole time. Just wondering if the Big Guy is getting a bigger cut because of the inflation he has heaped upon us? And FJB just approved sending another $2 billion. Please, please, please will someone blow the toilet lid off of this crap a$$ crime family. It's all about the kickbacks and the corruption.

When this Russia-Ukrainian war is over, we will most likely find Zelensky and other top level Ukrainian officials overflowing in dollars are living in big mansions in London and Paris with multi million dollar kickbacks having been sent to the “big guy” and his bagman son through foreign bank accounts. After that occurs the leftist Democrats will blame Trump with half the stupid US electorate believing that falsehood.

“Zelensky’s been buying discount diesel from the Russians,” one knowledgeable American intelligence official told Hersh. “And who’s paying for the gas and oil? We are." Ukraine is buying fuel from its enemy? Always thought something fishy was going on with this quote, unquote war. Ukraine is the size of Texas and Russia is twice the size of the U.S. Ukraine should be crushed by now, but instead we have a WW1 type war where both sides are stalled.

And low and behold, here come the stories of the grift. My question is: where do we go to get our money back we sent to Ukraine? Where is Congress who appropriates the money sent to Ukraine?

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit tossed a Berkeley, California, ban on gas stoves on Monday, saying that the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act preempted state and local authorities in regulating natural gas. The Courthouse News Service reported: The three-judge panel’s ruling reverses a federal judge’s dismissal of a lawsuit by the California Restaurant Association claiming the Energy Policy and Conservation Act preempts the San Francisco Bay Area city’s ban. The group said the ordinance would affect chefs’ ability to prepare food the way they are typically trained — using natural gas stoves.

The Democratic Party and President Joe Biden are wrecking the country. Their ongoing economic blunders, perverse cultural agenda, and corrupt foreign policy, if unchecked in the near future, will turn the United States into a dystopian nightmare comparable to Venezuela. This can be averted if former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis run together on the 2024 Republican presidential ballot. Neither can win in 2024 without the other, even if the Democratic alternative is an unpopular incumbent whose running mate is a running joke.

The state of California is implementing full Marxism before our very eyes under the guise of “equity.” And so now there can be no possible doubt if there ever was for anyone: instituting Communism has been what “equity” initiatives have been about all along. Now three of its most powerful utility companies are saying that they’re going to charge based not on how much of their product was used, but on how much money the user makes. In simpler times, if you bought something, you paid for it. Rich or poor, tall or short, black or white, female or male, wise or foolish, everyone paid the same amount for a product.

In her remarks, Harris urged rallygoers to “stand up and fight,” describing the situation as a “critical moment” in U.S. history.

Twenty-first-century America was on a trajectory of gradual decline—until it began to implode. Was the accelerant the COVID-19 pandemic and unhinged lockdowns? Or was the catalyst the woke revolution fueled by the 2020 summer of exempted rioting, looting, arson, and violence? Or was it perhaps the deranged fixation on removing Donald Trump from the presidency and destroying the rule of law in the process? Or all that and more? Now with the election of Joe Biden, what had been a fast-tracked decline has accelerated at such an astonishing rate we can scarcely recognize our country.
