President Joe Biden’s proposed budget released Thursday requests nearly $7 billion in new funding for Ukraine and other European allies.
More than $6 billion would be provided by the budget to “support Ukraine, the United States’ strong alliance with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and other European partner states,” the budget proposal says. Funding would be prioritized to enhance the capabilities of U.S. and allied forces against Russian aggression.

“”and other European allies.””
He’s worse than a drunken sailor - apologies to all sailors. What a racket!
Double what Trump asked for for the wall
Take that 6 billion and totally finish the border wall and add more security.
Ukraine is not and should not be our priority.
“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world”

Why not just give Zelensky the keys to Ft. Knox and say “Help yourself!”..................
That's right. McConnell gave Trump and US nothing.
Ukraine is a de facto member of NATO. They have already caught up with their fellow European deadbeat allies of ours. We’ve pi$$ed away enough on Uke corruption that this new ally is firmly entrenched as official generational American taxpayer money pit just like the rest of official NATO.
Why was the treasury secretary in Ukraine. That ought to frighten every taxpayer and every friend, family and member of the armed forces.
Biden orders BLM to plant more and bigger money trees.
Did CCP Joe clear this with Xi who interestingly has a meeting with Zelinski soon?

I don't hear "power of the purse," House majority, so-called "MAGA Republicans" screaming that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to appropriate taxes for the purpose of foreign aid.
“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).
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Trump's primarying of RINOs in 2022 was hopefully just for practice. He needs to primary RINOs again in 2024 so that he can hopefully win Oval Office supported by a fresh new MAGA Congress.
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.

By the end of this month Russia will have lost more than 20,000 barbarians so far this year.
That’s 20,000 rapists and murderers who will never pose a threat to civilized countries.
Makes my Monday all that much better.
