January 20th can’t come fast enough.
The Biden Regime on Saturday announced another $1 billion in military aid for Ukraine.
“Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the Pentagon will send nearly $1 billion to Ukraine, bringing the total the United States has committed to Ukraine to more than $62 billion since Russia launched its invasion in February 2022.” ABC News reported.
“The package dedicated an additional $988 million to Ukraine and will provide the country with more drones, rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, and support for maintenance and sustainment.” ABC News reported.
The Pentagon announced:
Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced a significant new security assistance package to ensure Ukraine has the tools it needs to prevail in its fight against Russian aggression. This security assistance package commits an additional $988 million in support through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) that will provide Ukraine with munitions for rocket systems and Unmanned Aerial Systems. This package also includes support for maintenance and repair programs to help Ukraine reconstitute its forces and build and sustain combat power.
The capabilities in this announcement include:
*Ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
*Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS); and
*Equipment, components, and spare parts to maintain, repair, and overhaul artillery systems, tanks, and armored vehicles.
This is the Biden Administration’s twenty-second USAI package. The United States will continue to work together with some 50 Allies and partners through the Ukraine Defense Contact Group and its associated capability coalitions to provide the support Ukraine needs to win the war.
In September, the Biden Regime announced an eye-watering $8 billion in military aid for Ukraine during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Washington.
This massive giveaway comes as Americans continue to face economic hardships, skyrocketing inflation, and an unprecedented crisis at the southern border.
Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Congress has approved nearly $175 billion in aid and military assistance for Ukraine.
According to the Council on Foreign Relations:
Since the war began, the U.S. Congress has voted through five bills that have provided Ukraine with ongoing aid, doing so most recently in April 2024. The total budget authority under these bills—the “headline” figure often cited by news media—is $175 billion.
The historic sums are helping a broad set of Ukrainian people and institutions, including refugees, law enforcement, and independent radio broadcasters, though most of the aid has been military-related. Dozens of other countries, including most members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU), are also providing large aid packages to Ukraine.
This is why the Deep State-media complex is attacking Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The incoming Trump Administration will put an end to the Ukraine cash grab and endless war.
I ask why but.....
Does Congress do anything anymore?
People in North Carolina are absolutely suffering!
I am sure those in Western North Carolina will understand.
Joe’s getting his 10% - that’s the only thing important to the current President right now ....
One of the few things that ever mattered to the big guy.

Ukrine gave the “Biden Crime Family” A LOG OF MONEY.
DO WE THINK THEY DID NOT EXPECT ...SOMETHING...IN RETURN?
We don’t want to make them mad at us. Ukraine has a different LAWS.
AMERICANS LAST
AMERICA LAST
I hope everyone keeps poor old Salamander in their prayers.
While BILLIONS flow overseas, she’s not going have enough money or time to get the house fire fixed, is literally starving and freezing to make sure her remaining dogs have all their needs met while she’s dressed in Goodwill rags, driving a failing car.
Because liberals are all about the “ little people”.
If they “cared” any more about me, I’d be dead by now.
If “ they” hadn’t tanked the economy I’d have had enough to get back home.
Quadrupled building material costs are crushing me.
I sit alone and night and wonder who I can give my dogs to, though they be the only things I have left, if things get even worse here.
F the demonic leftist crime syndicate and the fortunes they cheerfully throw to those unworthy or illegal.
The totally evil murderous deepState/neocon grift must go on to the last second and to last nickel !
How does Biden have $ billions to spend on pet projects when Trump had to fight for years to fund the security wall?
You’re in my prayers, Salamander. God is with you and has a plan for you.
God bless you for the prayers.
In desperate need of them now.
Thank you. He does every day :)
We’ll see what the House does with this:
This week, House Speaker Mike Johnson rejected a request by the administration for Congress to authorize $24 billion in additional funding.
“It is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision now,” Johnson said. “We have a newly elected president, and we’re going to wait and take the new commander in chief’s direction on all that. So, I don’t expect any Ukraine funding to come up now.”

He’s going to be surprised when he gets to the Pearly Gates and is told he’s at the wrong gate and he can’t take anything with him.
