This week, 17 Senate Republicans joined Democrats to approve sending Ukraine another $60 billion. Twelve of those Republicans previously suggested they would not help send Ukraine any more American taxpayer money until the United States’s border was secure from illegal immigration.
On Thursday, Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Susan Collins (R-ME), John Cornyn (R-TX), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), John Kennedy (R-LA), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), John Thune (R-SD), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Roger Wicker (R-MS), and Todd Young (R-IN) joined every Senate Democrat excluding Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to send billions more in taxpayer dollars to Ukraine.
The money, if approved by the House, will fund weapons and military training, among other things, for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Twelve of those Republicans who voted for the Ukraine funding, coupled with $14.1 billion for Israel in its war with Hamas, previously suggested to the media that they would not support more funding for Ukraine until America’s own southern border was secure.”So in order for our national security interests to be served, we must have a four-prong approach here. Israel, the border, Ukraine, and Taiwan,” Capito said in December 2023, for example, while Cassidy said, “We got to support our allies, but we got to secure our own border first and the Biden administration has not done so” the same month.
Similarly, in December 2023, Ernst said ,”The issue is not Ukraine, and it’s not President Zelensky. It’s our own national security at our southern border” and Collins called reforms at the southern...

Ye shall have World War III and ye shall like it
All getting kickbacks.
Pierre stays right on brand.
Didn’t the KY legislature override Beshear’s veto, thus forcing him to appoint a replacement from the same party as McConnell?
Another reminder that democrats alone did not wreak all the destruction on America we have experienced in the 75 years.
Democrats had a lot of help from republicans who place their allegiance to the Deep State above their allegiance to America and the US Constitution.
A sworn oath means nothing to people like that. To them acheiving the end they desire justifies the means.
It is the Deep State equivalent of muslim taqiyya whereby they rationalize the action of committing an otherwise unethical or unlawful act, such as lying, to achieve their goal.
*Thune and Rounds. I’ll be looking for a “good” reason for their bad vote.* They’re both safe. No challengers in the past either.
Pretty much what can be called a safe seat. There will be challengers when they are up for reelection. Can they prevail against the folks who keep voting for the establishment??????
Hey, Texas! Wake-up! Someone please primary Cornyn.
We’re stuck with this traitor until Jan 2027.
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!!
Pierre Delecto continues to disappoint...
certain people. I’m betting he still has quite the following, among the democratically minded, just like the late grandson of the late WWII Navy Admiral.
Cornyn did it again!
Our fellow Texians need to get rid of this guy pronto.
Congress should just say no more money until the border wall is complete and illegals are sent back to their home countries on the trains that brought them to the US border.
John Kennedy, This one surprises me..
A ping out to the Texas Ping list, founded by Windflier.
And why is Sen John Cornyn voting with the DC elite, when Texans send him to Washington to be our voice?
Time to primary him!
Another special Texas winter edition for your perusal.
As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the Texas Ping list.
Blessings, and stay warm!
Cornyn will likely get very conservative again around the middle of 2025. The pattern is obvious- and unfortunately people have short memories.
I thought better of John Kennedy. This puts him into the class of pols that need new employment.
“why is Sen John Cornyn voting with the DC elite”
? Follow the Money.
Yep, follow the money indeed.

The best Republican senators money can buy?
Wicker as two challengers on the March 12th ballot. I will be voting for one of them once I have vetted them.
Tell Ukraine to go to hell,stop paying bribe money to prevent exposing Hunters and Joe Biden’s graft.
He has to pay American Taxpayer dollars to cover their treason.
