SENATE PASSES AID BILL FOR UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND TIAWAN

Of this massive boondoggle, Tiawan will use in excess of $2 billion to buy container ships from China. According to Reuters, Evergreen Marine has purchased 44 ships from Ship since 2018. Evidently they needed an infuse of money to buy the lastest from China.

Speaker Johnson says he will not allow this bill to be voted on in the House. (Others say the bill already passed last year in the House but will need to be re-voted on after Senate changes.)

So glad that the House is focusing on important issues, like impeaching a cabinet secretary.

Under Mayorkas and Kamala Harris's control, record numbers of illegal aliens have slipped past our Border Patrol.
This incompetence has ruined the morale of these units that they are having to offer $30K hiring bonuses. Border guards have become Welcome Wagon employees.

You're right, they should have been focused on impeaching the guy who gets lost every time he gets on a stage. Biden started the problem on the debate stage when he encouraged the world to surge our border and then he reversed all of Trump's border policies.

As for the topic, I'm so glad the most corrupt country on the planet is getting more money that we can't track while our homeless population is massively growing by the day as hundreds of thousands of poor people breach our border (every month) and become dependent on American taxpayers to survive.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

I hope you realize that the majority of the money that we are "giving" to Ukraine is actually staying here in the U.S. We are giving weapons and ammunition to them, which creates jobs here.

No that is the talking point the left uses to make their stupid followers think that the Government spending and giving away tax dollars is a good investment and causes economic growth.

How many non Governmental jobs does it take to pay for 1 Governmental job?

46.3 billion total military support
23.5 billion weapons
26.4 billion financial

Much of the aid has gone toward providing weapons systems, training, and intelligence that Ukrainian commanders need to defend against Russia, which has one of the world’s most powerful militaries. Many Western analysts say the military aid provided by the United States and other allies has played a pivotal role in Ukraine’s defense and counteroffensive against Russia. U.S. and allied leaders consider Russia’s invasion a brutal and illegal war of aggression on NATO’s frontier that, if successful, would subjugate millions of Ukrainians; encourage Russian President Vladimir Putin’s revanchist aims; and invite similar aggression from other rival powers, especially China.


I'm still unsure why you are against giving aid to Ukraine to help against Russian aggression.

America is 35 trillion in the hole. Every year it takes one trillion dollars to service that debt total. Currently we are adding another trillion dollars every six months.

And K wants to give tens of billions to the US military industrial complex. We then ship our old military equipment to Ukraine. And corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs get rich selling it to others, possibly terrorists?
