Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Thursday on FNC’s “America’s Newsroom” that the United States helping Ukraine defeat the Russians “is the single most important event going on in the world right now.”

Co-anchor Dana Perino said, “What is Biden’s responsibility in trying to make sure that people in America whose support for Ukraine is softening will want to continue to try to help them?”

McConnell said, “Well, I’m going to try to help explain to the American people that defeating the Russians in Ukraine is the single most important event going on in the world right now. It will save us an enormous amount of money down the road if the Ukrainians can succeed.”

I think the immigration issue will settle itself before the elections get moving. Thinking anything is going to change soon is a waste of energy.

The stuff about mutilation and drag queens are targeted issues to raise funds.

Go to your local library and school. Ask them what their practices are. They will tell you it’s very, very low on their priorities and when they do stuff like that...no one shows up.

The drug trade is my top concern. The economic condition of the country is my second top. Urban violence is a concern. Some of those are issues you share.

People need to start asking why they are being spoon fed these “dramatic” stories that pull at either end political bell curves. The answer is easy—they drive clicks and fund raising. Once you realize that shit isn’t really going on in any significant amount that you can start looking at what is REALLY going on.

If you have a 401(k) invested in “the market” you are benefitting from that money laundering as well.

If we turned off the spigot to the MIC, the country’s economy would literally collapse overnight.

You should get on the gravy train. It will be the last part of the train to derail and fall off the cliff.

There are about 25 million Russians that live in areas that were in the Soviet Union but are not in the Russian Federation.

Russia will ensure that these Russians are not severely discriminated against.

In 1957, President Eisenhower sent federal troops into Little Rock to ensure equality for black Americans.

In 1976, Israel sent forces to save Israelis in Entebbe, Uganda.

In 1776 13 American states declared their independence.

In 2014, the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic declared their independence.

Starting in 1778, the King of France helped the 13 American states I believe.

Meanwhile, western media fails to mention another HUGE missile attack all over Ukraine, shutting down even more substations and Ukie AA. Third huge one in the past week, no doubt why the Turtle is spouting war, war, war, ( they are getting clobbered). Does the west go into escalation mode? Neo- cons tend to do that when their narrative starts to fail.

Oh and yes, these strikes can be verified by NON western media, if anyone cares to check.

Turtle is the enemy just as much as Biden and Obama, doing their bidding, destined for an eternity in hell all.

Another China stooge. Biden is destroying our country and this piece of garbage tells us Ukraine is more important. Kentucky needs to get rid of this loser.

A nation that doesn’t protect its borders will cease to exist.
———-
Correct, but a sane nation that can no longer protect its population logically enters negotiations to save its population….that said, with current demographic estimates of only 16-18 million Ukies in country left, “ winning” is unlikely, rebuilding even more unlikely.

Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP.

What did we declare war on Russia? Maybe these warhawks and chickenhawks can take their own selves and families over if they think it is so important.

“The drug trade is my top concern.”

There have been special almost anything goes areas in the past.

“Early in its history, the location just outside Philadelphia allowed the area to thrive in manufacturing, as mills, breweries, leather tanneries, paints and chemical works, tool making factories, and iron and stove foundries once lined the neighborhood. It also holds the status as a famous red-light district in the United States.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Liberties,_Philadelphia

“Just west of the Bridge was the Liberty of the Clink manor, which was never controlled by the city, but was held under the Bishopric of Winchester’s nominal authority. This lack of oversight helped the area became the entertainment district for London, with a concentration of sometimes disreputable attractions such as bull and bear-baiting, taverns, theatre and brothels.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwark

Special junkievilles might be created in far out rural areas where junkies can partake of FDA quality-controlled recreational drugs.

Meanwhile, friends of Mc Connell’s wife in China are planning to invade Taiwan, which Mc Connell and Biden are not the least bit concerned.
