Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have asked Congress to pass additional appropriations in order to further assist U.S. efforts to aid Ukraine by May 19.

In a letter to House and Senate leadership shared with The Hill, Austin and Blinken said the administration needs the money by then “if we are to continue are security assistance at the current pace.”

The officials said that they expected the $3.5 billion in drawdown authority that was passed in March as part of the $1.5 trillion government funding bill to be exhausted later this month.

Yeah. They’re still compiling the list of Democrat donors to funnel the money to.

California has to replace Ed Buck. He probably be nearly as high in the Big House when he is defecated upon as he was when he was running the streets with his buddy Schift but that is the way Democrats roll.

The Democrats must have been up to some really dirty stuff in Ukraine.

Pretty soon, they are going to let Ukraine draft our kids.

This is ridiculous. Keep giving billions to the corrupt government in Ukraine. We have no idea what they are doing with the money and weapons we give them. How much is going back to our corrupt politicians in kickbacks? Joe Demented was sucking Ukraine’s teat for years. Scumbags all around.

They upped this weeks to $40 Billion.

And Republicans don’t care what they add, they race in to vote YES.


And there is no end to this money. This is no opposition in any corner.

Lindsey may well be right in the thick of it, but the organization running all this is The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

I know you’re here to muddy up the water, but getting rid of the Democrat Party is the key to saving our nation.

Ax yourself why there’s no opposition to this.

And why people like Fauci, Biden, & Mark Warner make $149,000 for years and end up with $14 Million in the bank (not counting retirement accounts).

Even Comey had almost $20 Million.

If this was a Dem thing, why are Republicans voting for it?

Why did they support Trillions in Biden Spending already? Why did they just Fund more $$$$ for Covid spending and fund a Federal Vaccination Tracking Database?

The key to saving the country is the demise of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make.

Spit it out.

Not important.

535 members of Congress and virtually no organized resistance to Biden.

Biden was elected and McCarthy, Pence, and McConnell spurned Trump and attended functions with the Bidens.

Hard to explain that.

They couldn't cough up $5 billion that Trump wanted to protect our border, but they are falling all over themselves to send money to Ukraine to protect their border. Jiminy Cricket.
