    Now that McCarthy's speaker of the house, "No more wasteful spending," right?

    Wrong!

    Biden has announced another $500,000,000 in aid being handed to Zelensky. With oversight right? Wrong! No oversight. Just more cash being dumped. Who needs cash anyway? Not the American people. Especially not the people who live in East Palestine, Ohio.

    Biden'a got to go! Zelensky's got to go! And McCarthy has GOT to go!!

    Hello Aaron,

    Now that McCarthy's speaker of the house, "No more wasteful spending," right?

    Wrong!

    Unspent covid funds. Available for everyone who needs it, through
    December 31, 2024. Only wasted if it is never claimed.

    Biden has announced another $500,000,000 in aid being handed to Zelensky.

    An additional aid package of $460,000,000 that includes military
    supplies and weapons.

    With oversight right? Wrong! No oversight. Just more cash being dumped.

    "For all the disagreement we have in our Congress on some issues,
    there is significant agreement on support for Ukraine."
    ~ President Joe Biden, in Kyiv, on 2/20/2023

    Who needs cash anyway? Not the American people.

    "Unchecked aggression is a threat to all of us. One year later, Kyiv
    stands and Ukraine stands, democracy stands, Americans stand and the
    world stands with you"
    ~ President Joe Biden, in Kyiv, 2/20/2023

    Especially not the people who live in
    East Palestine, Ohio.

    We the people, regardless of where they are, support democracy
    everywhere, including in Ukraine and the USA.

    Biden'a got to go! Zelensky's got to go! And McCarthy has GOT to go!!

    Only George Santos has to go. Everybody else can stay.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Where did they say the money is coming from? Did congress pass another
    bill, or is Biden promising it from spending already voted on in the past?

    supplies and weapons.

    "Ukraine defeats Russia" will never be a headline. They can't win. Joe's
    either silencing Zelensky or he's preparing for some rebates on all this cash.

    "For all the disagreement we have in our Congress on some issues,
    there is significant agreement on support for Ukraine."
    ~ President Joe Biden, in Kyiv, on 2/20/2023

    "Significant" is an ambiguous adjective. Cori Bush agrees, does that make it "significant?"

    "Unchecked aggression is a threat to all of us. One year later, Kyiv stands and Ukraine stands, democracy stands, Americans stand and the
    world stands with you"

    The aggression is still unchecked; we're not doing anything about it. Handing cash to Zelensky doesn't scare Putin. Wanna scare someone? Send a moab to their office!

    Those are good questions. Fox News doesn't have the answers yet. Just Joe
    went to Ukraine and "announced" it over there.

    Right..... We all knew he was a RINO. I had hoped that the Freedom First group that blocked him for so long would have gotten a leash on him, but
    it looks like that's not the case.

    That's a good point. Where is the money coming from?

    Last time I checked, congress had control of the purse strings.

    I thought they were the RINOS because of their seemingly strict conservative agendas, but now I think that maybe I had it backwards, and they might be the last good remaining Republicans.

    I've been busy today, but I am still interested in finding the answer to that question. I wrote to my congressman about it yesterday just like this:
    ----
    Mr. Congressman, I don't approve of the president's recently announced war aid to Ukraine. I thought that winning a GOP majority would prevent this but I was wrong. I suspect the president of funneling the money, I suspect Zelensky of squandering it, and I suspect Speaker McCarthy of being complicit. The taxpayers need to know and see how the money is being spent, without a penny
    to waste. Thanks for your commitment to this country. Please let McCarthy know that there are gigantic elephants in the room. Thank you!
    ----
    (I won't hold my breath for a reply from the congressman, but I'll be checking in the news for answers....)

    I'll add your name to the list. But first you'll have to do like
    your pal in New York, George Santos, and lie your way into Congress -

    Putin's Troll Army -

    Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida
    Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona
    Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado
    Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona
    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
    Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida
    Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky
    Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois
    Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama
    Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina
    Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana

    These are the traitors in the US House of Representatives
    who want to end all military and economic aid to Ukraine -
    which is to say wave the white flag to Vlad Putin showing
    their master what brave and patriotic future soldiers for
    his evil empire he has in this part of the world.

    Imagine that. 11 traitors out of 435 members of the House
    of Representatives. Matt Gaetz sponsored the bill, the other
    ten co-sponsored it. I wonder what they will think of doing
    next?

    I suspect the president of funneling the money, I suspect Zelensky of squandering it, and I suspect Speaker McCarthy of being complicit.

    Speaker McCarthy's name is not on the list. Must be due to the fact
    that Congress has already appropriated the funds.

    The taxpayers need to know and see how the money is being spent, without a penny to waste.

    Ukrainian President Zelenskyy assures you all funds appropriated
    have been spent wisely, as will all future funds.

    Thanks for your commitment to this country. Please let McCarthy know that there are gigantic elephants in the room. Thank you!

    That's a lot of poop to clean up.

    For Life,
    Lee
