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...

Time to primary him!
YES. May I repeat: Time to primary him!
Only real thing here is that it really ain’t “tax dollars.” It is play money printed by the Federal Reserve. We are so far in debt now that the $35 TRILLION DOLLARS, PLUS Social Security and Medicare / Medicaid, PLUS free crap for illegals, could not be paid off if mankind lasted another 10,000 years!!
It is not new for him. He is easily re-elected, but worthless toward helping our State. He only serves special interests.
What happened to the concept (law) that money bills originate in the house?
Agree . Cornyn WILL be primaried in 26
Right now we are fighting Soros to get Cruz re-elected.
It won’t stop until people remember their names at election time.
Who do you blame them or yourself.
Vladimir Putin Drops a Truth Bomb on US Politicians: Why Is America Fighting for Ukraine’s Border but Refuses to Defend Its Own Border?

As the Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Tucker Carlson released his highly anticipated interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday evening.
In the interview, Tucker Carlson discussed many topics, such as the war in Ukraine, imprisoned WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, NATO, Bill Clinton, and much more.
At one point during the interview, Vladimir Putin discussed the open US border with Mexico.
Putin asked Tucker Carlson why America was fighting for Ukraine’s border and refusing to defend it’s own border?
That’s the question we ALL want to know. Why does Ukraine matter but our own border does not matter?
Vladimir Putin: “Do the United States need this? What for? Thousands of miles away from your national territory. You have issues on the border, issues with migration, issues with the national debt, more than 33 trillion dollars… You have nothing better to do so you should fight in Ukraine? Wouldn’t it be better to negotiate with Russia? Make an agreement. Realizing that Russia that will fight for it’s interest to the end. Return to common sense and look for solutions.”

Todd Young is on his last installment of being a Senator.
“Agree . Cornyn WILL be primaried in 26
Right now we are fighting Soros to get Cruz re-elected.”
Yep. I know absolutely nothing about the dems who are campaigning to win the primary to face Cruz.
None of those names are recognizable to me, but I’m sure that whoever comes out on top will be guaranteed a boatload of Soros money in their battle with Cruz.
The magnitude of hatred & bias against Cruz by the Texas media has only increased since the O’Rourke days. However, I sense the ‘charisma’ with these opponents is not at the same level that O’Rourke generated. Nine months away....
Meet The Republican Senators Who Lied About Prioritizing Border Security Over Ukraine Funding - In their own words...
Good old cornball, still a whore.
also politicians can give their campaign coffers to the cause and do fund raisers
“Better yet, repeal the 17th Amendment.”
This a thousand times this. The people aka the rabble are too stupid to directly elect our most important representatives.
John C is an abomination but we will get a damn Beto if we try to replace an establishment money prick like him. Too well funded and deep state protected.
Cruz like him or not is arguably the most conservative senator by voting record. We need hin because John C is a snake we will get Beto or worse if the deep state throws all in for flip they probably can’t flip Cruz he has a strong conservative backing , John is meh we hold our noses and pull th lever to keep our gun rights and taxes lower nothing he does makes us happy
I support Cruz all the way! He’s the best fighter Texas has.
Thank you! Calling Cornyn out, sincerely and politely, is a grave priority for Texans, on this UKR give-away of American taxpayer treasure. He will not stop.
Who are his donors? I suspect Big Business and KOCH Industries.
