Under Obama and Biden, USAID was corrupted from its worthy putpose to become a slush fund for the far left and globalists. American taxpayers should not pay for luxury junkets to an ideological indoctrination conference at Davos.

I reckon these numbers express the purpose of a new school taking the place of two fully functioning schools to build a state-of-the-art school: at $383.00 per square foot; on the lowest point of the land; because "Free Money" was available, which only cost the Beaufort County taxpayers $10,500.00 ... so far.

Illegal aliens are a big reason our health care costs are so high. Illegal aliens are mostly freeloaders who go use Emergency Rooms and don't pay, and the cost of their care is shifted onto the rest of us. Maybe we should make failing to pay a medical bill a deportation offense for illegal aliens.

Why should a mental health conditiion EVER be a protected class? What group will they protect next? Kleptomaniacs? Pyromaniacs? At least Iowa finally comprehended how stupid this was and ended it.

As Mollie Hemmingway points out, Zelinsky was following the advice of Team Obama to the letter in his White House meeting with Trump. They were using Zelinsky and Ukraine to try to play American politics. Zelinsky is a fool to allow himself to be used like that and he needs to resign for the good of everyone. x.com

Zelinsky should remember that when Russia invaded Crimea and the DOnbass, Obama only sent non-lethal aid like radios and tents. It was Trump in his first term that started sending Ukraine weapons to defend itself.

So many people have suffered for this aggression toward Ukraine and the subsequent money laundering scheme response to it.

Some have gotten very, very rich. I hear Zelensky is a billionaire now, but only 20 million shows. It's hard to say. There is much speculation because of the opportunities presented by so much largely unaccounted money flowing. U.S. taxpayers have added 200 billion or more and other countries have provided billions, too. At the individual level, Hunter Biden has been on the payroll for about 50 thousand a month for a period of time. Other influence peddlers, also. Boom time for munitions production. It's a sorry business with masses of victims and substantial beneficiaries.

I've noticed that a number of people wanting more United States involvement in Ukraine don't give two flips about defending the borders of the United States. They don't seem too concerned about a WW 111 scenario, either.

Now it is out. A group of Democrats and RINOs met with Zelensky just before the White HOuse meeting at the Hay-Adams Hotel and blew smoke up his ass. What they did to poison the White House meeting was a huge disservice to both America and Ukraine and indeed the world. www.thegatewaypundit.com

IT would not surprise me if the Democrats pumped up Zelensky to do this, but I suspect the EU elite were in on it, too. They are using Zelensky and Ukraine to get at Trump, and Zelensky was foolish enough to fall for it. Ukraine needs a new president as this one may be manipulated into destroying his country.

This whole sorry event was painful to watch.

It tore out a piece of my heart today to see the chance of peace ruined in plain sight.

Why did the President of Ukraine NOT realize that the Idiot President is comatose in Delaware; Mr. Trump is a real American president; JD Vance is a popular Vice President; these guys DO NOT play?

Why r ppl the way they are?
For some, chaos is th goal.
Many politicians r lazy & let their staff do their thinking 4 them.
Their staff may b th types that support chaos or r just part of th pay-to-play game. The loudest of activist r hired & want a national collapse.
Jan.1, 2000, we feared all computers failing, one woman sd she wanted collapse bec her debts would b erased. She didnt stop to think that she would hav worse problems than debt, if th world collapsed.
Governing has become too big & complicated for most humans to excel at. They r either incompetent or too lazy to give it th time/energy needed.AS u saw under Biden, Govts kinda runs itself.

why do corrupt ppl support each other. Because they see each other at Church, soirees, or Insider Clubs & then 'wannabe' accepted into th club. They will sell their souls, not for $$ but for th opportunity to rub elbows w an "insider" ...EVEN n a small-town. LOL Its a human thing. Dont blame yourself, just try 2 build stronger character

This is a good move on the part of the administration. Destroying the cartels will not only be good for America but for Mexico and countless people throughout South America. Elevating them to the status of terrorist organizations and not just criminal ones will make it easier to bring other agencies and assets into the effort to end the criminal activities perpetrated by the cartels. We should look at them in the same light as Al Qaeda, ISIS and the pirates operating in Middle Eastern waters. Members of these organizations are not entitled to the rights, privileges and protections of U.S. citizens, nor should they be. Armed drone strikes and special operations forces can have major impact when properly utilized. Maybe the war on drugs will finally see results.
