Congress has one and only one Ukrainian in it's memebership. And she voted against the Ukrainian aid package.
What does that say about it?
If U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz,who was born and raised in Ukraine, thinks this is a boondoggle why do we doubt it?

Your tax dollars at work!

US buys 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Russia's ally costing on average less than $20,000 each, report says
Yes, we really ARE buying old Soviet MIGS from Khazakstan!
Hopefully we're giving them to Ukraine and not using them ourselves, but given the problems with Boeing who knows?
Any way you slice it it's a bad deal. It's perhaps better than nothing for Ukraine but not much.

Ukraine's defensive line is about to collapse, according to The Institute for the Study of War.
All the money we are about to pour into the Ukraine is money down a rat hole.
Russia will win this. They have the manpower, the equipment, and the determination. While Ukraine has Western aid they don't have the manpower to win; they will need NATO troops, boots on the ground.
I suspect we're going to see a movement to get "peacekeepers" in the region, and then an "incident" will occur to turn this war into a world conflict.

Well, well, well....
The National Archive story takes an intersting twist. Seems the GSA was holding a whole pallet of classified documents then called Trump and demanded he take them all shortly before the raid on Mar-A-Lago.
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/04/28/new-bombshell-evidence-emerges-was-trump-set-up-in-classified-docs-saga-n4928572
So the Biden Administration shipped classified documents to Mar-A-Lago to set Donald Trump up for this prosecution.
Even if that was not the intent, it was the GSA that mishandled classified material, not reviewing it before shipping it to Trump.
This has all the earmarks of a Barack Obama dirty trick.
Strange how little the media is reporting on this.
Meanwhile Joe Biden had classified documents from when he was a Senator and had no right whatsoever to be holding such material. Yet no charges were filed against him, ostensibly because he's senile.
Ameirica looks increasingly like a banana republic.

Peter Navarro has had his appeal to the U.S. Suprme Court that he be released from prison pending appeal dismissed by the supposedly conservative court.
https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2024/04/29/new-supreme-court-denies-peter-navarros-bid-for-release-from-prison-pending-his-appeal-n2173477
This is the second time John Roberts has refused Navarro's request.
Navarro, former trade advisor to Donald Trump, refused to obey a subpoena by Congress and was found guilty of contempt.
Interestingly enough both Obama and Biden have had multiple advisors who ignored subpoena's and nothing happened to any of them, but Navarro has to serve four months in the slammer.
One example was Eric Holder, who refused to comply with a subpoena over Fast and Furious. He was convicted of Contempt of Congress but never served any time,nor was criminally prosecuted.
Navarro, on the other hand, had the book thrown at him.
Navarro's great crime was in refusing to appear before the hyper-partisan J6 committee where he was going to be put in a perjory trap so they could squeeze him to finger Donald Trump.
So a man guilty only of not participating in a lynch mob is going to prison while Holder - whose Fast and Furious scheme cost lives - walks around free as a bird.
Something must be done about this.

Robert Spencer says the Biden Administration has sworn out a warrant with the International Criminal Court in the Hague to have Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders arrested for war crimes.
According to Spencer:[/linl]
The Israeli journalist Amit Segal published a Hebrew-language story in the popular Israeli news outlet Mako that reveals an American betrayal of Israel of stupefying magnitude. "Very senior officials associated with the International Criminal Court in The Hague,” wrote Segal, "have spoken about Israel’s fear of arrest warrants for senior officials in the context of the war in Gaza. The officials told N12 [Mako’s broadcast channel] that the intention to issue such orders would not have been possible without American consent.”
The threat of arrest from the International Criminal Court is not hanging over the heads of minor officials only. "Last week,” Segal reports, "the Prime Minister’s Office held an urgent discussion on the issue, in which serious concerns were raised about allowing the issuance of arrest warrants against senior Israeli security and political leaders, including against Netanyahu himself.” This could all happen quickly: "Reports that have recently arrived in Jerusalem,” Segal continues, "indicate that the chance of issuing arrest warrants has increased dramatically, possibly as soon as next month.”
Segal noted that this was happening with American approval: "Regarding the intention to issue arrest warrants for senior Israelis, the sources at The Hague said that it is impossible that the chief prosecutor would have decided on such a dramatic step, in a war that is still ongoing, with very little evidence, if he had not at least had a ‘green light’ from the Americans. If this is true, this is another and unprecedented low in relations between Israel and the US, at a very sensitive time, on the eve of the ground entry to Rafah.”
Biden and his leftist bosses are isolating Israel, in much the way that the Bible predicted so long ago.

Whereas:
Strong and credible evidence shows Covid 19 and Covid 19 injections are biological and technological weapons, and Pfizer’s clinical data revealed 1,223 deaths, 42,000 adverse cases, 158,000 adverse incidents, and approximately 1,000 side effects, and an enormous number of people have died and or have been permanently disabled after having been injected by the Covid 19 injections, and strong and credible evidence from Sweden exists that Covid mRNA shots alter human DNA, and government agencies, media, and tech companies, and other corporations have committed enormous fraud by claiming Covid injections are safe and effective, and The Florida Department of Health has called for a halt to the mRNA injections, and continued experimentation on humans and denial of informed consent are violations of the Nuremberg Code and therefore constitute crimes against humanity,
Resolved:
On behalf of the preservation of the human race, the 2024 Arizona Republican Party Presidential Nominating Convention Delegates call upon Governor Hobbs and the state legislature to prohibit the sale and distribution of Covid injections and all mRNA injections in Arizona, and for the Arizona Attorney General to immediately seize all Covid injections and mRNA injections in Arizona and perform a forensic analysis on these so-called "vaccines.”

Instapundit discusses the end of the university system and how this offers us an unique opportunity as colleges becomes cesspools and money pits.
I agree,although I think we need to ask afew fundamental questions.
We must ask "what is the purpose of college?" I really can't get an answer to that question most of the time.
Most people say "to get an education" but that clearly isn't the purpose any longer. College kids are often woefully educated on basic issues. And their professors are no better; a few years ago a bunch of them FLUNKED a 7th grade general knowledge test from the 19th century. So it is not about educating young people.
Nor does it teach them to think. Just try to reason with a college kid and see the giant gaps in their reasoning.
It's mostly about instilling values in kids - values that are at odds with those of the parents and of our society as we have always known it.
So what is the value in a college education?
Basically it's social life and having a degree so hopefully you can get a good job.
But so few college kids get good jobs these days. Often there is no market for their degrees. Who wants to hire a bachelor of women's studies? It doesn't prepare the kids for real life. And since everyone now has a degree it has become essentially worthless.
We need to have a serious alternative to college, not just change the institutions. For some an apprenticeship in a trade is fine, but for others we need to find a way to recreate the things kids go to college for without the framework of a university that has shown itself so easily corrupted.
We need a kind of self-study program with a kind of campus atmosphere where young folks can socialize and enjoy a bit of freedom without the professors twisting their minds.
We must find a way to certify kids as competent without making them kowtow to the professorial class, the leftists.
I remember there was a program years ago which helped give college credits to people with expertise (remember the commercial with Abraham Lincoln discussing the Kansas Nebraska Act?) We need more of that. Not just the AP test to cover credits, but a more comprehensive approach that certifies knowledge without the "benefit" of a communist prof.
More thought on this is needed.
One thing is clear; colleges are now the citadels of Satan, and the source of most of the misery in the Western World. They have outlived their usefulness and are now nothing but a disruptive and sinister force for evil.

When Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson claimed she couldn’t define "woman” during her confirmation hearings in 2022, it created quite a stir. The story only would’ve been better if Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who’d asked the then-judicial nominee to define the term, had followed up with, "Are you a woman, Judge Jackson?” The follow-up to that then should’ve been:
"How do you know?”
Do "Scientists” REALLY Claim There’s No "‘Simple’ Answer to Define ‘Woman’”?

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh warns that malicious prosecutions could spell the end of the Presidency as an institution.
FTA:
Justice Kavanaugh said that when presidents are subject to prosecution, history shows that it’s not going to stop.
"It’s going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president ... and the next president and the next president after that.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch, who said that the court is "writing a rule for the ages,” along with Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Kavanaugh all said that their concern was not so much the case against President Trump, but rather the effect of the ruling on future presidencies.
"This case has huge implications for the presidency, for the future of the presidency, for the future of the country,” Justice Kavanaugh said.
‘Rule for the Ages’
Former Deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben, who argued for Mr. Smith, said that the framers of the U.S. Constitution never intended for presidents to be above the law.
Mr. Dreeben also said that the crimes President Trump is charged with—including allegedly participating in a scheme to enlist dueling electors in battleground states won by President Joe Biden to cast alternate slates of electoral votes for him—weren’t a part of the president’s official duties.
Attorney D. John Sauer, who argued for President Trump, told the justices that without presidential immunity from criminal charges, the "presidency as we know it” will be changed, contending that the looming threat is that a decision to deny immunity would "destroy” presidential decisionmaking at a time in the nation’s history when it needs to be bold.
Mr. Sauer argued that the impact of the case would have implications far beyond the question at hand, raising the hypothetical prospect of President Biden facing charges of encouraging illegal immigration with his border policies.
Justice Kavanaugh expressed concern about the future implications of the case, warning of the prospect of a vicious cycle of malicious prosecutions that could hamper presidents for years to come.

According to 538Trump leads Biden in all swing states and is even with Commander McBiden nationally.
538 is the Democrats beloved pollster and no fan of the Donald.
"It's the moment you've all been waiting for: Today, 538 launched our interactive polling averages for the 2024 presidential general election. They show incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump essentially tied in national polls and Trump with a tenuous lead in key swing states.
Specifically, as of April 25 at 9 a.m. Eastern, our national polling average shows 40.9 percent of likely voters would support Biden if the election were held today, while 41.6 percent would support Trump."
So Biden is losing both nationally and especially in the battleground states.
Time to expect some fireworks. Biden and his ilk no doubt have an October surprise for Trump. Probably a war but it could be a number of other things. No doubt Biden is hoping for a conviction in New York.

Communist and seemingly perpetual Green Party candidate Jill Stein was arrested at pro-terrorism protests at Washington University in St. Louis.
I'm surprised the University City cops (not the campus police but the municipal cops) had the cajones.
Question; will Stein be prosecuted and treated in the same way Donald Trump was treated? Will she face hundreds of years prison time? Charged with insurrection?
Somehow I suspect not.
Washington University is 24% Jewish. Shouldn't this be prosecuted as a hate crime?

NPR says it is fair and balanced.
You may continue after your laughing subsides.
Yes, the good folks at NPR are defending themselves against the criticisms by their now fired editor by claiming they are perfectly fair and balanced.

Trump's attorneys tore some big holes in the prosecution's case in the bogus Stormy Daniels "hush money" trial.
Considering the gag order put on it, this should be the "hush Trump" case.
FTA:
On Friday, Emil Bove, an attorney for Donald Trump, continued questioning Pecker, (from the National Inquirer) who claimed during his testimony that he purchased the rights to multiple unfavorable stories about Trump to ensure they never went to publication. Pecker's actions were referred to as a "catch-and-kill" scheme.
Pecker claimed that he had an arrangement with Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen to ensure the stories never saw the light of day. Also, during his testimony, he said he expected to be reimbursed directly by Trump or the Trump Organization for the scheme.
Pecker gave former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal $150,000 for her story. She claimed that she had had an extramarital affair with Trump. Pecker admitted that Trump never reimbursed him for his purchase of the story. Bove attempted to poke holes in Pecker's testimony, noting that the story would have been beneficial for the tabloid to run, and McDougal was trying to restart her career at the time she made the allegations.
Additionally, Pecker said he paid $30,000 for the exclusive rights to another story that turned out to be untrue, though he admitted he would have run the article if it had been accurate. He also did not receive any money from Trump for that story.
Despite previously being interested in McDougal's story, Pecker claimed that he "didn't want anything to do" with porn actress Stormy Daniels' story. She also claimed she had an affair with Trump.
"I said to Michael Cohen that after paying for the doorman story and the Karen McDougal story, I wasn't going to pay anything further and I wasn't a bank," Pecker testified.
During his testimony earlier this week, Pecker claimed that Trump had thanked him for not running the unfavorable stories. However, Bove pointed out that in a 2018 interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pecker did not state that Trump had expressed any gratitude toward him or the tabloid for such actions.
"Are you suggesting the FBI made a mistake here?" Bove asked Pecker.
Pecker acknowledged that the bureau's notes were inconsistent with his testimony.
"I know what the truth is, I can't state why this is written this way. I know what was said to me," he responded.
Bove questioned whether Pecker still has equity in the National Enquirer's parent company, AMI. Pecker replied that he does.
"Part of AMI's business model was to purchase stories, correct?" Bove questioned.
Pecker confirmed that the company did regularly buy the rights to news stories and that the practice was not unique to Trump. The former publisher noted that there were other celebrities who were promoted by the tabloid and provided a warning when negative press was about to be published. Pecker previously said that he had a similar arrangement with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He admitted that publishing negative stories about Trump dating back to the 1990s was "not good for business." Pecker further acknowledged that he had never heard the term "catch and kill" prior to the case. Additionally, many of the negative articles about Trump's presidential opponents published by the National Enquirer were "not exclusive" to the tabloid, indicating that other media outlets had first reported the stories.

With this new package of aid going to Ukraine it won’t bring a win for Ukraine . It will only buy more time to inflict more death on Russia .Ukraine is out of fighting men ,they’re all dead .Recruitment from other nations won’t help .So the use of long range missiles into Russia will be used to keep killing Russians .Ukraine is mostly owned by foreigns now anyway and many of its citizens our refugees to western nations .The US doesn’t want to loose another war so soon .
Tim adds:
In the old '70's movie Rollerball the big executive named Mr. Bartholemew explains the purpose of rollerball to Jonathan E.(James Caan): " the purpose of the game is to illustrate the futility of individual action". I rather think that applies here, to teach the futility of war to the nations of the Earth by having the U.S.lose, Russia lose, Ukraine lose. See, we all lose so we need a world peace authority! I think that is why the Internationalists are so gung ho on this continuing. That and all the war profits of course.
Oh, and they want to drag Russia into the "rules based order" of the West and the dominion of the big international corporations.
Rollerball was prescient in that too. It predicted the decline of the nation states in favor of giant multinational corporations.

Originally published at the Washington Jefferson Madison Institute
"To our Founding Fathers, it was obvious, or "self-evident,”
John Adams stated it this way, "Public virtue cannot exist in a Nation
without private Virtue, and public Virtue is the only Foundation of
Republics.”[3] In this regard, the revolutionary war was as much a
battle against "the corruption of 18th century British high
society,”[4] as it was against financial oppression. While the Founders
and American colonists were very concerned with their civil liberty and
economic freedom, demanding "no taxation without representation,
George Washington said: "Virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government,”[6]
Benjamin Franklin said: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.” [8]
James Madison stated: "To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical [imaginary] idea.”[9]
Thomas Jefferson wrote,
"No government can continue good but under the control of the people;
and … their minds are to be informed by education what is right and
what wrong; to be encouraged in habits of virtue and to be deterred
from those of vice … These are the inculcations necessary to render the
people a sure basis for the structure and order of government.”[10
Samuel Adams said: "Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue.”[11]
Tim adds:Ours was a nation of individuals who govern themselves. Not anymore; now it must be governed by force because the individuals have been taught not to govern themselves but rather do as they please and allow government to provide guardrails to protect them from their own folly. Thus is tyranny born.
