The war in Ukraine has been raging for over five hundred days, with no end in sight. In the first year of the war, the U.S. Congress approved over $113 billion in aid for Ukraine.

Someone needs to tell Pence
$100 billion here, $100 billion there, pretty soon you’re talking real money.
One sentence? That’s it? And then (Excerpt) Read more at? I mean, it is your blog. Nothing is stopping you from posting more of it before the ONEWEIRDTRICK.
And we don’t have $10 billion for our border.
Meanwhile, fentanyl and low IQ trash pours into our country.
Thanks Neocons.
“Dr Biden” has created a Frankenstein monster
(albeit a laughable pipsqueak) by slavishly supporting shortstuff Zelensky.
His activities indicate the self-serving Zelensky feels supremely entitled to whatever he asks for......
US weapons, billions in US tax dollars, our SS benefits, etc......
go to him, with total disregard for Americans’ safety and security or America’s global interests.
The Grayzone conducted an independent audit of US funding for Ukraine and discovered a series of wasteful, highly unusual expenditures the Biden administration has yet to explain.
Zelensky is a phony. America is being drained dry. We are being fleeced.
The war/welfare checks are far, far more than being reported…......
including scarce US Social Security funds going to Ukraine.
US taxpayers may be shocked to learn that as their families grappled with fears of Social Security’s looming insolvency, the Social Security Administration in Washington sent $4.48 million to the Kiev government in 2022 and 2023 alone.
In another example of bizarre spending, USAID paid off $4.5 billion worth of Ukraine’s sovereign debt through payments made to the World Bank — all while Congress went to loggerheads over America’s ballooning national debt.
Beneficiaries of USAID’s Ukraine aid:
<><>Polish NATO lobbyists,
<><>a private equity firm,
<><>rural Kenyans,
<><>a TV station in Toronto
<><>$21.8 billion to Ukraine throughout fiscal years 2022 and 2023, roughly 41 percent of the 53.4 billion it spent during that period.
<><>Mysteriously, a portion of USAID funding earmarked for Kiev was sent to Kenya and Ethiopia via other agencies, with the award description stating projects in Africa were “partially funded with response funds and Ukraine supplemental funds.”
<><>USAID sent $4.5 billion to Ukraine via the World Bank to pay off Kiev’s debt and fund various social programs, including government pensions.
<><>USAID made a total of $21 billion worth of direct payments to the World Bank in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 (9.1 Billion and 11.9 Billion, respectively), more money than all of the funding Washington sent to the bank between fiscal years 2008 and 2021 combined.
<><>The $4.5 billion allocated for Ukraine funded programs directed by the bank’s International Development Association and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
<><>USAID supplied a $1 billion grant to the World Bank’s International Bank for Reconstruction and Development to subsidize projects “Ukraine cannot fund at this time.”
<><>USAID has supplied $20 million to “Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees” since February 2020. Recipients include a Polish think tank called the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, a Toronto-based Ukrainian TV channel, a collection of Ukrainian “anti-corruption” organizations, and other groups listed in the screenshot below. These awards were issued on top of $26 million worth of funds USAID sent these groups between 2016 and the February 2022 war escalation.
<><>USAID allocated $500,000 for the Casimir Pulaski Foundation in 2023 to fund a program dedicated to “advanc[ing] U.S. foreign policy objectives by supporting economic growth, agriculture and trade; global health; and democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance” in Ukraine. The funds were earmarked “to strengthen the International Center for Ukrainian Victory (ICUV) initiative in implementing international advocacy campaigns to keep high levels of international solidarity with Ukraine.”
……and much, much more…..
One word fits Biden and cast INSANE.
Criminally insane.
Corrupt hellholes like Ukraine keep the stupid sons and daughters of DC’s ‘Elites’ in enough cash to preserve their ‘dignity’ and appearances....
Of course it would be cheaper to buy them off but they don’t accept bribes from American citizens. Any more $400,000 ‘speeches’ in Arab countries Hillary?

No kidding, the guy totally flubbed his recent event interview with Tucker.
