The recent election of Mike Johnson as speaker of the House has struck terror in the heart of the uniparty, with neoconservatives and Democrats fearing that their reckless Ukraine spending may finally be put to an end.
President Biden is currently exploiting the conflict in Israel and Palestine to secure more funding for Ukraine in a joint package for Israel and Ukraine aid. However, only a small portion of the $100 billion the president is requesting would go to Israel, with the majority — $61.4 billion — going to Ukraine.
With Johnson now speaker and leading the House, Biden’s Ukraine funding request is in a precarious situation. Johnson voted for the initial Ukraine spending bill In April 2022 but has taken a dramatic turn since then, opposing all new Ukraine funding requests and demanding transparency from Ukraine on its use of American tax dollars.
Back in February, Johnson wrote on X: “American taxpayers have sent over $100 billion in aid to Ukraine in the last year. They deserve to know if the Ukrainian government is being entirely forthcoming and transparent about the use of this massive sum of taxpayer resources.”
Likewise, in May 2022, Johnson expressed America First sentiments, saying, “We should not be sending another $40 billion abroad when our own border is in chaos, American mothers are struggling to find baby formula, gas prices are at record highs, and American families are struggling to make ends meet, without sufficient oversight over where the money will go.”
“Republicans for Ukraine,” a nonprofit that believes “the Republican Party must continue to support Ukraine,” has given Johnson an “F” on his support for the war.
Meanwhile, neocon Republican turned Democrat grifter Bill Kristol fretted on X before the speaker vote, writing, “If Mike Johnson wins, and unless he’s made private commitments for a floor vote on Ukraine and funding government: Gaetz wins, MAGA wins, and Trump wins, and institutionalist, responsible, moderate Republicans lose, once again having pitifully folded when the crunch came.”
Ending funding to Ukraine means that President Volodymyr Zelensky will finally be forced to negotiate a peace deal with President Vladimir Putin. From the onset of the war, there has been no end strategy presented by Ukraine or the American Uniparty other than the “total defeat” of Russia. If there is a plan, no one has cued in the American taxpayers who are bankrolling the war effort.
Like with Iraq and Afghanistan, the Uniparty leaders in support of fueling conflict in Ukraine do not have a strategy, arguably because they do not want the war to end. As Federalist Senior Contributor Jonathan S. Tobin wrote, “The continuation of the current stalemate as the death tolls rise benefits only the political interests of Zelensky, Putin, and those who profit from the war.”
Meanwhile, Americans have been suffering under a potentially compromised executive branch, an inflationary economy, and an open border crisis. Perhaps Johnson’s election represents a turning point for Congress, and the issues impacting American day-to-day life will finally be a priority.
Just heard a little bit of Mark Levin. He took a swipe at “The Eight” and said that the three weeks without a Speaker hurt the country, and seemed to say it might cost us the House the next election. McCarthy sent the entire House on a six-week vacation in August.
Mark Levin must be losing his mind. Dan Bongino has the same attitude about getting rid of McCarthy. They are so afraid that Gaetz will look good if a conservative Speaker makes a difference.
“The funding is going to continue-it is a matter of how much and the concessions.
Tie it to oil well permits and I’m in.”
Agreed. Tie it to something. So many on this website dont understand how to negotiate. We dont hold the White House or the Senate, what can the House do? Those are brainwashed by the RINO’s. The House has equal power and can make a ton of things happen if they are smart.
““Republicans for Ukraine,” a nonprofit that believes “the Republican Party must continue to support Ukraine,” has given Johnson an “F” on his support for the war.”
This makes me think even more highly of Johnson.
“Perhaps Johnson’s election represents a turning point for Congress, and the issues impacting American day-to-day life will finally be a priority.”
And that’s exactly why many of us have supported the ousting of establishment/insider/Uniparty Kevin McCarthy.
“Is anyone who supports sending U.S. to Israel a neocon?”
Yes, the citizens don’t even want us there.
That is not true. Roughly 50% of Americans support sending aid to the Ukraine.
NO; they are not, they are LAZY, LYING, THIEVING, pieces of crap!
And just as a matter of interest everyone is a MASTER PLUMBER, ELECTRICIAN, MASON, CARPENTER or any other trade you can think of, just ask them.
Then go down to Tijuana and take a look at their “MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP”!

Beautiful!!!
Conservative Evangelicals are the strongest supporters of Israel (far more than secular Jews).
Ukrainians should stop saying "Glory to heroes".....Ukraine has no heroes..Only cannon fodder forced to die for the corrupt regime in Kiev..This is just a bloody sacrifice!
Wow amazing video clip. At the 23 second mark, if you pause just right you see, what look like, the incoming “shell” that hit them!
damn sure hope they’re right!
.
but keep “vacate” locked and loaded just in case.
“That is not true. Roughly 50% of Americans support sending aid to the Ukraine.”
Sure because they are brainwashed into signing away the future of their own Grandchildren.
Just like the Patriot Act did.
