Ukraine news reports U.S. Admiral Eric Olson captured.

Ukraine News: US Admiral Eric Olson (Highly decorated special ops commander) born in Tacoma, Wa USA captured in Azovstal Mariupol.

There are a lot of theories floating around the web on this story. That, allegedly, he was, or wasn't, working in a US/Ukraine bio-lab.

That he was, or wasn't, on "vacation" and just happened to be captured. 

Other theories include this being staged and organized...or not. Or that it never happened at all and is propaganda serving as a pretext for Biden putting U.S. Troops in Ukraine to fight against Russia. 
 
Whatever the story is, or isn't, it portends, "Welcome to the precipice of WW3, brought you by The Globalists and their puppets: Biden and his handlers."

It took SIX months for a liberal "think-tank" to invent for Biden the term, "Ultra MAGA."

Daily Mail: Woke think tank spend SIX MONTHS coming up with 'ultra MAGA' slur Biden is now using to target GOP - even though former spokeswoman Jen Psaki claims president created it himself.

Biden's use of the term 'ultra-MAGA' followed six months of research, reports show.

That comes despite his former press secretary Jen Psaki last week insisting the president had coined the phrase himself.

Me? I'm amazed Diaper Joe is able to, so far, pronounce it correctly.

Market Screener: Top Truck Stop Love's Is 'Monitoring' Diesel Supplies Amid Shortage Fears.

One of the U.S.'s largest truck stops, Love's, said Wednesday it is closely watching its diesel fuel supplies in the Northeast amid growing concerns of industry-wide shortages, but said it has no plans to limit purchases. 

Truckinpreneur: Diesel shortage fears grow for the east coast, Love’s ‘monitoring’ situation.

 

A recent message sent from Love’s Travel Stops warned that drivers may see temporary diesel fuel shortages in several east coast states.

Amid skyrocketing diesel fuel prices, multiple news outlets have reported that there could be major diesel fuel supply issues on the east coast in the coming weeks and months.

In the Bloomberg article “U.S. East Coast Diesel Supply Is Running on Fumes” the outlet reported that “east coast inventories of diesel plunged to the lowest seasonal level since government records started more than 30 years ago.”

Phil at Bustednuckles wrote on the diesel shortages the other day:

Heating oil, gas, diesel, propane and Natural Gas are already at historic price levels and now there is a looming Diesel Shortage staring us in the face.

As Paxlovid has become more widely used, some patients have reported that COVID-19 symptoms recurred after completing treatment and experiencing improvement.

Rand Paul just shat on the dems and rinos $40 Billion Ukraine Aid Gibsme.

Daily Caller: Rand Paul Just Hit The Brakes On $40 Billion Ukraine-Aid Package.

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul stymied efforts by the Senate to pass a $40 billion military and humanitarian aid package for Ukraine.

Paul blocked the votes Thursday, objecting to an amendment vote on his proposal by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

The Kentucky senator wants the aid bill’s language to be changed to require an inspector general to oversee spending on Ukraine. Schumer and McConnell’s offer would have required Paul’s provision to get 60 votes in order for the amendment to the bill to occur, according to The Hill.

Under the Senate’s rules, it only takes one senator to object, the outlet reported.
[.]
Schumer blasted Paul, saying the senator was acting as if it was “my way or the highway.”

"Schumer blasted Paul, Schumer blasted Paul." Oh - it's different now, eh, from when Schumer blocked John Cornyn and Richard Blumenthal's bi-partisan Prescription drug bill from passing. Oh, but's different now, huh Chucky. Tough shit. Seethe. Cope.

McConnell doing his usual worthless, spineless performance of a politician. Step aside Mitch and let a real Conservative do your job.

Good for Senator Paul.

I hope this bill dies. It shouldn't have gotten this far, it shouldn't have ever been created.

Uncreative Old Man Biden hurls a new "slur" at Former President Donald Trump.

Yahoo (Archived): Biden calls Trump 'MAGA king,' vows to push GOP contrasts.

[Biden's] remarks at the fundraiser followed a speech earlier Thursday in which Biden offered a new nickname for Trump, who himself enjoys bestowing often unflattering monikers on political opponents.

“Under my predecessor — the great MAGA king — the deficit increased every single year he was president,” he told the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers conference, which was also being held in Chicago.

This is the best the script writers for Diaper Joe can create..."the great MAGA king"?

They don't understand that a large and considerable swath of this country considers that a compliment, if not an affirmation of what America achieved during the Trump presidency,  which is now being deliberately dismantled by Biden's handlers. 

"Vows to push GOP contrasts." By all means, please continue revealing the unending depths of moral bankruptcy, depravity, anger and violence harbored by the Radical Left and the "adults" currently "in charge" of our failing nation.

The Left can't create clever "insult" names any better than they can Meme.

Baby formula being shipped by pallet loads to the border for illegal immigrants.

Washington Examiner: Illegal migrants first to get ‘pallets’ of hard-to-find baby formula.

The nationwide shortage of baby formula that has sent mothers desperately rushing from store to store has evaded one lucky group: illegal immigrants detained by Border Patrol.

According to videos posted by a Florida lawmaker, the Biden administration has been shipping “pallets” of baby formula to migrant holding facilities.

“They are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border,” said Republican Rep. Kat Cammack in one of two online postings yesterday. “Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula,” she added, holding a photo of empty shelves where the formula would be.

THE RISK of heart inflammation after receiving doses of the Moderna or Pfizer Covid vaccines has be laid bare in a huge new study of 23 million people.
[.]
...epidemiologist Professor Rickard Ljung of the Swedish Medical Products Agency and his colleagues studied health data on a total of some 23.1 million people from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden from late December 2020 to early October 2021.

The team looked for incidences of myocarditis and pericarditis and, for each case, considered the subject’s sex, age and vaccination specifics.

They focussed [sic] in particular on cases where the inflammatory heart conditions developed within 28 days of either an initial or second vaccination shot.

By the end of the study period, the researchers reported, 81 percent of the subjects had been vaccinated.
[.]
Overall, the team identified 1,077 cases of myocarditis and 1,149 of pericarditis among their four study cohorts.

Examining those subjects who had been jabbed, the team found that the likelihood of developing myocarditis was higher following a second dose of coronavirus vaccine.

Specifically, the risk appeared to increase by 75 percent with the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine, and 557 percent with the Moderna vaccine.

Moreover, the team found that myocarditis risk following two jabs was highest for young men between 16–24 years of age.
[.]
The researchers wrote: “Results of this large cohort study indicated that both first and second doses of mRNA vaccines were associated with increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis.["]

“For individuals receiving two doses of the same vaccine, risk of myocarditis was highest among young males after the second dose.

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel cranks up the Covid fearporn. More boosters=More $$$$$$!

Yahoo (Archived): COVID-19: 'We might not be in a great spot in the fall': Moderna CEO.

The majority of Moderna's (MNRA) revenue comes from governments abroad — which are bracing are for an ongoing need for COVID-19 vaccines this year.
[.]
"This virus is not getting less infectious," Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel told Yahoo Finance. "As you see more and more infectious variants ... We are not done with this virus mutating," he said.

The biggest risk in the fall, if boosting is delayed, is the potential for hospitals to fill up with those that are the most vulnerable all over again, Bancel said.
[.]
"We have a risk in the fall — if we don't have the booster campaign early enough —that we might not be in a great spot in the fall," Bancel said.

...the majority of Moderna's m-RNA revenue comes from abroad. And there's the money quote.

...the variants are going to become more infectious. He doesn't know this, no one does. 

...the vibrus will continue to mutate. Yes, that's what viruses usually do. Whether the mutation is stronger or weaker isn't known. Most often, viruses weaken over time.

...an early booster campaign. Spring booster, summer booster, fall booster, pre-winter booster, winter booster, spring booster, lather, rinse, repeat.

We've heard this fearporn before from FauciDwarf, the CDC, NIH, Walensky and their merry band of filthy liars.

Bancel is a Froggie. Shouldn't he be waving the white surrender flag?

Sweet asteroid of death once again fails to impress.

Additionally, regulators added warnings about the blood clots and a rare neurological reaction called Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Law Office (Archived): Seattle burglary suspect unintentionally shoots self in [head].

Seattle burglary suspect unintentionally shoots self in head while fleeing crime scene.

SEATTLE – A residential burglary suspect in North Seattle was hospitalized and later arrested after negligently shooting himself in the head as he tried to flee the scene of a crime, authorities said.

Police received a call from a Seattle homeowner who heard noises coming from his garage early Wednesday morning, according to the Seattle Police Department Blotter.

The victim investigated the sounds originating from the garage and discovered a masked suspect. The home intruder bolted after being spotted while the victim grabbed a broom and chased the suspect to a van in a nearby parking lot.

When the thief reached the vehicle, which turned out to be stolen, he raised a firearm and cautioned the victim to retreat.

SPD said the victim turned away from the suspect and later heard a gun discharge as the suspect’s vehicle sped away.
[.]
Soon after, officers received a radio broadcast that a man had arrived at First Hill Hospital with a gunshot wound to his head.

“Officers went to the hospital, found the injured man was wearing the same clothing as the suspect in the earlier burglary. Police believe the suspect accidentally fired his handgun while climbing into his van, striking himself in the head,” SPD said in the Blotter. “Officers also learned the suspect’s van was reported stolen and had been used in another crime outside of Seattle. Additionally, the suspect is also a convicted felon, unable to legally possess firearms.”

The unnamed suspect is still being treated for the gunshot wound. He faces a number of charges, which include burglary, felony harassment, possession of a stolen vehicle and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Once he is medically cleared the suspect is expected to be booked at the King County Jail.

🤣 Sweet Karma 🤣 !

Vaxxed Carnival Cruise overwhelmed with Covid!

Washington Examiner: Cruise ship overwhelmed after more than a hundred test positive for COVID-19.

Over 100 people who were on a Carnival cruise ship have tested positive for COVID-19, overwhelming the ship, which docked Tuesday in Seattle.

Passengers infected with the coronavirus have spread out, going to hotels in the Seattle area to wait out the virus and quarantine, according to a report.
[.]
"As soon as I got diagnosed with COVID, I did not feel safe," one passenger said.

"They didn't have enough staff to handle the emergency that was happening, period," the passenger continued. "They were overwhelmed, and they didn't have a backup course in how to handle about 200 people affected with COVID. We all suffered."

Another passenger echoed the sentiment that the crew was not ready for the surge in cases.

"I think that they were unprepared. I think they were understaffed. I think that they were overwhelmed," according to the passenger. "I don't think they had clear guidance as to how to handle this."

During the experience, passengers said they waited hours for food, could not get properly isolated, and that it has hard to reach medical staff. 

Carnival's policy requires proof of "vax" and a negative test prior to embarking.

If you have any doubt the Left is severely and violently mentally ill, here's your proof.

White House Correspondents' Dinner COVID outbreak begins: Journalists from multiple outlets test positive.

Attendees of Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner have started testing positive for COVID-19.

Most notably, ABC News' Jonathan Karl tested positive Monday night after sitting next to Kim Kardashian at dinner and interacting with President Joe Biden.

CNN reported Tuesday that some staff from CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News and Politico have tested positive since the dinner.

At a minimum, events required vaccination, but cards weren't always checked - others, like the Creative Coalition dinner, had COVID testing on-site.

Our event implemented protocols that went beyond any guidance or regulation issued by the CDC or the D.C. health department,' WHCA President Steve Portnoy said.

Children's clothing labelled as "green" and "non-toxic" turns out to be not "green" and toxic.

Daily Mail: Children's clothing labelled as 'green' and 'non-toxic', including from Lands' End, Columbia and Old Navy, have been found to contain toxic PFAS chemicals, with researchers warning these can lead to cancers and asthma.

A number of children's products labelled as 'green' and 'non-toxic' have been found to contain toxic PFAS chemicals, which can pose a threat to human health.

Clothing, furniture and bedding aimed at children, and produced by a number of leading brands, were among the products found to contain PFAS, by a team from the Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Massachusetts.

Some products, labelled as being 'green' or 'non-toxic' were among the items, many of which were water resistant. Products came from a range of brands including Columbia, Old Navy, Gap and Lands' End, among others.
[.]
Studies have linked PFAS with a range of health effects including cancers, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, low birth weight, and asthma, and a number of states have passed legislation to prevent manufacturers including PFAS in products.

Most of the products tested by the team had been manufactured in China for US brands, they explained.

As well as the cancer risk, there is also evidence that PFAS can suppress the immune system, potentially weakening the effectiveness of childhood vaccines and the body's ability to fight infections, according to study co-author Dr Laurel Schaider.

'Children's bodies are still developing and are especially sensitive to chemical exposures. It makes sense that parents would want to steer clear of products that contain ingredients that could impact their children's health now and in the future.'
[.]
'These are products that children come into close contact with every day and over a long period of time. Given the toxicity of PFAS and the fact that the chemicals don't serve a critical function, they should not be allowed in products,' says co-author Kathryn Rodgers, a doctoral student at Boston University School of Public Health.

The clothing was manufactured in China? The toxicity might weaken the body's ability to fight infections? Sounds like we need a new "vaccine".

Reminder: Joe Biden voted to allow States to overturn Roe v Wade.

Townhall: Senator Joe Biden Voted to Allow States to Overturn Roe v. Wade.

As a relatively new U.S. Senator, Biden voted for a 1982 proposal that would have allowed individual states to overturn Roe v. Wade within their jurisdiction.

Early in his senate tenure, Biden "concluded that the Supreme Court went 'too far' on abortion rights in the Roe case," a position that would be entirely foreign to President Biden today. In fact, Biden's old position is not far off from the argument made in the leaked draft of Justice Alito's decision.

Biden's stated and voted opposition to Roe's invention of a constitutional right to abortion that overruled state prohibitions and restrictions came as pro-life conservatives pushed for the newly-inaugurated Reagan administration and a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate to take action to protect the unborn.
[.]
During his early years as a senator, Biden said "that a woman shouldn’t have the 'sole right to say what should happen to her body,'" but had fully reversed — or as the flip-flopping left likes to day, "evolved" — his position by the time he was serving as Vice President in the Obama administration. In 2012, Biden denied that the government had “a right to tell other people that women, they can’t control their body."

Biden votes and acts in a manner that is politically advantageous for him, or, what his Masters tell him to do. He doesn't have any true core beliefs...other than sniffing the hair of little girls and groping them. Oh...those are things deeply ingrained in the Diaper President.

"I AM ANGRY!", screams an unhinged Elizabeth Warren over the possibility of Roe v Wade being overturned by SCOTUS.

"We should be preparing right now for a potential surge in the summer across the southern United States because we saw it in 2020 and we saw it in 2021," Birx said in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation."
[.]
Birx forecasted the country's summer surge following her observations on South Africa, which is currently experiencing what local health officials and scientists claimed was a fifth wave of COVID-19 infections caused by omicron's BA.4 and BA.5 sub-variants.

What is she talking about? Omicron didn't lead to a spike in death rates in South Africa (Scrubs), it was less severe, even for the un-jabbed (NY Post) and Omicron variant symptoms ‘unusual but mild’, says South African doctor (NY Post).

Why would omicron increase near the southern U.S.? Does Dr. Schaf mean, like ... border states? Well, the CDC and NIH are checking everyone crossing the border to make sure they're covid-free, aren't they?

It's only the fifth wave of BA.4 and BA.5? Heck, I thought it was much worse than that. I figured we're closing in on the twentieth wave of the Almighty Deadly And Unpossible To Avoid teh Coof. So it sounds like we're doing pretty well.

Think of how much off worse everything would be if it weren't only the fifth wave.

Anyway, yeah Dr. Scarf...because she was right on so many things in the past.

Fearmongering, attempting to instill a permanent anxiety and panic attack aimed at the most vulnerable people, using anything and everything - any possible issue - is what these people are paid to do.

There appears to be a "person of interest" in the abortion draft leak.

He clerks for Sotomayor.

The Ancestory (Archived): Who is Amit Jain?

Amit Jain, a Supreme Court clerk, is accused of putting his job in jeopardy in order to uncover the truth about the abortion draft.
[.]
Amit, the CEO of Sequoia Capital India, is stepping down to follow his passion for entrepreneurship. In a 2017 post for Politico, Josh Gerstein cited him. Today, Gerstein released the proposed SCOTUS Roe opinion.
[.]
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s clerk is Amit Jain, the individual who recently released the abortion draft.

FOX News (Archived): Liberal Alan Dershowitz appalled by the leak.

[Said Dershowitz]: "And I have a theory and it's only a theory: I think this was leaked by a liberal law clerk who is trying to change the outcome of the case – either by putting pressure on some justices to change their mind or by getting Congress to pack the court even before June, which is very unlikely."

Even The Jeff Bezos Peoples' Republic has an Op/Ed from a Bloomberg writer that the leaker should come forward (Archived): The Supreme Court Leaker Should Come Forward.

I do not, as a rule, like leakers. Leakers are liars.

Among such lying leakers I include whoever provided Politico with what is apparently a draft of a majority opinion by Justice Samuel Alito overturning the court’s almost half-century old precedent in Roe v. Wade. Whatever our views of Roe, or of the sphere of choice generally, none of us should be celebrating the leak.

The filthy, repugnant reprobate Liberal POS NY Senator Cluck Schumer, on the other hand, is inconsolable over the possibility of abortion being returned to a decision made by States, not the Federal government.

Who leaked the SCOTUS draft abortion opinion?

Reuters (Archived): U.S. Supreme Court launches probe into leak of draft abortion opinion.

U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday said the Supreme Court will investigate the leak of a draft decision indicating that a majority of the nine justices are set to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, a breach of the court's trust that he called a "betrayal."
[.]
The leak can be considered a major break from the longstanding tradition of confidentiality and trust surrounding deliberations among the justices.

Amid speculation about the source of the leak, [Chief Justice John] Roberts sought to defend the institution's structure.

Who leaked this? The clerks and/or staffers for Kagan and/or Sotomayor?

Speculation abounds.

This "leak" is an abomination, an unprecedented attack, on what is supposed to be the most non-politicized branch of our government.

Tuesday's Friday Morning Music Video

"Through The Mists Of Time" by AC/DC from 2020's Pwr Up. 

Recommend viewing it in full screen mode.

Crank up the volume; a great tune and video. It's a reflection of their their 50 years in R&R. The miles of power cables laid, the sets constructed and taken down, the pyro, the unpacking and packing of gear, Bon, Malcolm, the number of concerts...over 50 years.

Political Wire lib whines of, "stop smearing Biden's cognitive impairment."

Political Wire: Stop Smearing Biden’s Mental Capacity.

It's only a two paragraph story.

["Whaaa! Whaaa! It's so mean to smear Biden's mental capacity. Whine! IT WAS EVEN WRONG WHEN DEMOCRATS SAID IT ABOUT TRUMP."]  - [Oh, and there's the comparative reletivism (or 'whataboutism'). Libs now defending attacks on what's obviously Biden's mental sundowning by saying it was wrong when dems said the same about Trump. Where were these people when dems accused the same of Trump? - DD]

Republicans believed that President Barack Obama was so stupid that he was incapable of functioning without a teleprompter (despite the obvious fact that Obama was constantly seen in public giving perfectly cogent statements without one).”

Barry McTeleprompter? Could he say anything without it?

Joe? Yeah, he's "all there." Sharp as a tack.

Vaxxed and Boosted Jimmy Kimmel has Covid!

Hollywood Reporter via Yahoo (Archive): Jimmy Kimmel Tests Positive for COVID-19.

Jimmy Kimmel has tested positive for COVID-19.

On Monday, the late-night host took to social media to announce his diagnosis.

“Our daughter brought us COVID (even though we specifically asked her not to),” Kimmel tweeted.[...] "I am double vaxxed and boosted," [said Kimmel]
[.]
Kimmel is the latest late night host to test positive for COVID-19. Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon and James Corden have all tested positive over the past few months.

 

Double Vaxxed and Boosted. 🤣 Blames his daughter for him catching it. 🤣

That's quite some trustworthy "vaccine" ya got there, Big Pharma!

Don't worry human pin cushion jab addicts...your seventeenth booster will fix everything.

India: Nobody can be forced to get Covid-19 vaccination, Supreme Court rules.

Khaleej Times: India: Nobody can be forced to get Covid-19 vaccination, Supreme Court rules.

It also said that vaccine mandates imposed by various state governments in the context of the pandemic are “not proportionate.

The Supreme Court on Monday while saying that bodily autonomy and integrity are constitutional rights and no individual can be forced to get vaccinated against Covid also affirmed the Central government’s Covid-19 vaccination policy.

A bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao and BR Gavai also held that the vaccine mandates imposed by various state governments and other authorities in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic are “not proportionate”.

Saying that restrictions on unvaccinated individuals in relation to public places and access to resources are unreasonable, the bench suggested the states remove such restrictions.
[.]
On the Covid-19 vaccination for children, the apex court said that it is not possible for it to second guess the opinion of experts and the vaccination indeed follows the global standards and practices.

India's Supreme Court reached the right conclusion in not forcing people to be jabbed with the clotshot. 

Regarding "second [guessing] of the opinion of experts [...] [to] follow global standards and practices," - - - it seem they have more work to do, if I understand their statement correctly.

Liberal Fragility: Pillow Man Mike Lindell sure scares the liberals. He returns to Twitter only to be banned again.

The Blaze: Mike Lindell returns to Twitter, gets banned again.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced on Sunday that he was back on Twitter being permanently banned in 2021 for allegedly spreading conspiracy theories about voting machines being fixed to sway the 2020 presidential election in President Joe Biden's favor.

"Hello everybody, I'M BACK ON TWITTER. My only account is @MikeJLindell! Please RT and FOLLOW to SPREAD THE WORD," Lindell said on Twitter Sunday afternoon.

Lindell confirmed his return to Twitter in person during former President Donald Trump's rally today in Nebraska:

    .@MikeJLindell CONFIRMS to RSBN that his new Twitter account is legit. Follow him now!pic.twitter.com/5r3lvZng9n
    — RSBN \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@RSBN \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1651432115

But Lindell's new account was quickly flagged by blue-check tattlers on the platform:

    I've reached out to Twitter regarding Mike Lindell being back on their platform. So far, no comment on the matter.
    — Zachary Petrizzo (@Zachary Petrizzo) 1651430091

And within hours, the pro-Trump pillow guy was back in Twitter exile...

    Mike Lindell has been re-banned from Twitter.pic.twitter.com/K1viOoto2a

...much to the delight of certain self-appointed speech police:

    I reported him too - looks like Twitter is doing the right thing today!

Pelosi, Schiff and other dems make surprise visit to Ukraine.

CBS News: Pelosi meets with Zelenskyy in Kyiv, vowing U.S. support for Ukraine.

A U.S. congressional delegation led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praised the courage of the Ukrainian people in remarks during a visit to Poland on Sunday, a day after a surprise trip to Kyiv to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
[.]
Pelosi and a half-dozen U.S. lawmakers met for three hours late Saturday with Zelenskyy and his top aides to get a first-hand assessment of the war effort to date.
[.]
"This is a time we stand up for democracy or we allow autocracy to rule the day," said Rep. Gregory Meeks, a Democrat from New York.

"This is a struggle of freedom against tyranny," said Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California. "And in that struggle, Ukraine is on the front lines."

Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, a veteran and a member of the House intelligence and armed services committee, said he came to Ukraine with three areas of focus: "Weapons, weapons and weapons."

"We have to make sure the Ukrainians have what they need to win. What we have seen in the last two months is their ferocity, their intense pride, their ability to fight and their ability to win if they have the support to do so."

They all should stay there and fight then, if they believe this is so integral to U.S. interests. It's not though, dems are beating the war drums, setting up what I believe will eventually be U.S. Soldiers on the ground in Ukraine.

This entire conflict is about one thing: protecting the Ukraine gravy train that feeds the Bidens, the Pelosis (her son Paul), the (John) Kerrys and the Romneys. They're all on the Ukraine payroll.

Dems complained and fought the price of Trump's border wall but there's no limit to the financial and military aid we can provide to Ukraine? What a crock.

Recommended reading from 2015: The Guardian - Welcome to Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe.

Since 1991, officials, members of parliament and businessmen have created complex and highly lucrative schemes to plunder the state budget. The theft has crippled Ukraine. The economy was as large as Poland’s at independence, now it is a third of the size. Ordinary Ukrainians have seen their living standards stagnate, while a handful of oligarchs have become billionaires. 

Does the above sound like a blueprint for what the U.S. is now experiencing?
