WTH? Janet Yellen Makes ‘Surprise’ Visit to Kiev to Announce Another $1.25 Billion in Aid to Ukraine
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 02/27/2023 11:31:53 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made a ‘surprise’ visit to Kiev on Monday to reinforce the US’s support for Ukraine.

(snip)

Shmyhal, speaking through an interpreter, said the two discussed further U.S. sanctions on Russia aimed at weakening its economy and military and “confiscating frozen Russian assets and putting them to the benefit of the recovery of Ukraine.”

But Yellen told reporters in a phone briefing that there were still significant legal obstacles to fully seizing the $300 billion in Russian central bank assets frozen by sanctions.

Yellin visits....

Locals: We barely can find food for our families and now all the milk has gone sour. She should have worn a mask. Or stayed away.

What is a Treasury Secretary doing flying to a war zone? Perhaps to get in on the grifting herself?

The Gnome named Yellin has no authority to hand out/dispense funds; especially for Slush Funds.

WTF? Now we have the New World Order zealots just giving away Taxpayer money, and nothing in Government does ANYTHING about it?

Get used to it......no national sovereignty exists anymore, for sure.

It certainly is. It’s sickening.

"Dear Republican House, I thought you controlled the purse strings."

Thank you for mentioning that.

Evidenced by Justice Joseph Story pointing out that foreign aid is unconsitutiional, so-called House majority "MAGA Republicans" should be warning Yellen about impeachment imo.

If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

Trump's first round of primarying RINOs in 2022 was hopefully practice for 2024.

Patriots, the bottom line is this imo. What is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments controlled by bully, constitutionally undefined political parties, from oppressing the people under their boots?

The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...

All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.

If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.

If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.

With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.

In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.

Again, Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.

The Secretary of the Treasury can issue these Billion dollar checks but they aren’t worth the paper their written on if Congress gets the balls and voids the expenditure now.

Congress had better wake up before we’re a third world crap hole.

We’re getting close to that now.

“Dear Republican House, I thought you controlled the purse strings.“

That’s the problem… they DO.

(They’re not on OUR side either..)

You’re forgetting the lame duck session late last year pre-empted that. That was a dirty trick by Ditch and the other RINOS. We’re stuck with it for now.

There is a world government out there - it just has nothing to do with any nation’s supposedly elected representatives.

When they get down to the White House Pastry Chef visiting Ukraine, maybe the Republicans will put their tiny little feet down.
