I gave up on National Public Radio. They are a big part of the problem. Be good to let them find a REAL job and not be elitist folks on welfare.

The only election meddling was done by the Democrats. And the Chinese Communist Party.

They’re threatening Joe’s bankers in the Ukraine. He has to protect his payola. Corrupt asshole. Hope Putin still has some of those darts left over.

Democrat thirst for power and control doesn’t stop at our borders. Russia is not amused.

It’s okay to read or listen to NPR as long as one is skeptical of every word. It is also worthwhile to consider the stories they bury.

#9. Re “Like what do we really buy from Russia”?

Let me list them:

* Steele Dossier” hoax, fake, KGB/SVB disinformation to affect the US elections of 2018 and 2020.

* Their lies about not invading Ukraine, again.

* That Putin is NOT really a typical communist aggressor dictator and Olympic quality athlete.

* That the Russians really want peace in Europe. The Biden/Dems missed the deliberate misspelling of “piece of Europe”.

* That their strategic attack bomber flights along the US borders are just their practicing for the 2023 post-nuclear attack aviation Olympics.
