The libtards and Haley lovers are all in for Ukraine that's for sure.

What an ignorant, anti-Republican thing to say.

If my beliefs in low taxes, personal responsibility, Capitalism, fighting Communism, supporting democratic republics, property rights, Second Amendment rights, zero illegal immigration, term limits, freedom of religion, pursuit of happiness, parental rights, merit pay for teachers/government employees, right to work, the North American Wildlife Conservation Model, wise use of resources, conservation not preservation, anti-Obamacare, the Bill of Rights, support of the US Constitution, the rule of law, support for the US Armed Forces, professionalism, etc… aren’t Conservative values and beliefs, I don’t know what to tell you. These are my beliefs. I’ve never received or taken a dime from this country that I didn’t pay in to begin with. Didn’t receive any of the $1200 COVID checks or any PPP funds. I’ve been working since the 8th grade, put myself through college and I’ve been a member of the NRA since I was 16 years old. You don’t know me so let’s not pretend that you do.

Just because I don’t love your Trump God, but will vote for him if I have to, has nothing to do with being a libtard. It has to do with having a brain and THINKING for myself. I don’t have to like Trump’s unprofessional behavior to be a REAL Republican. I am a Republican and have voted for every Republican presidential nominee since Reagan. So KMA.

Here's a fun one:
According to a 2024 paper by Giesecke's (scholar/economists), 90% of pension funds in the US have been underfunded. The shortfall is estimated at 1.6 trillion bucks.
Also, Factcheck.org confirms that the US is funding pensions in Ukraine.
Any of the usual Libs here volunteer their 401K to help out? Ya, I thought so. They just want YOU to do it..........stay free.......................FWB

A person can support supporting the war effort without supporting Ukraine pensions. Last I checked, nobody asked me to support pensions and supporting Ukraine pensions is wrong. I am quite sure that bills passed by Congress that you have supported in the past also contained things you didn’t support. The sausage sucks and it’s messy. I don’t like it.

Moscow concert massacre and the Tajik connection

The Moscow attack suspects are all from Tajikistan, where many young people have been radicalised.

Hillsdale College has a free publication called “Imprimis”. I still donate money to them but anyone can get it for free.

They have guest authors for most of the publications.

Do yourself a favor and sign up for this.

This latest one covers some inconvenient truths

excerpt below

“We must stop apologizing for Western Civilization. To be sure, slavery and segregation were grotesque violations of America’s founding ideals. For much of our history black Americans suffered injustice and gratuitous cruelty. Today, however, every mainstream institution is twisting itself into knots to hire and promote as many underrepresented minorities as possible. Yet those same institutions grovelingly accuse themselves of racism.

The West has liberated the world from universal squalor and disease, thanks to the scientific method and the Western passion for discovery and knowledge. It has given the world plumbing, hot showers in frigid winters, flight, clean water, steel, antibiotics, and just about every structure and every device that we take for granted in our miraculously privileged existence—and I use the word “privilege” here to refer to anyone whose life has been transformed by Western ingenuity—i.e., virtually every human being on the planet. “

Long read but kinda eye-opening if you didn't have a clue about these operations...

Power grab: the hidden costs of Ireland’s datacentre boom

The long read: Datacentres are part of Ireland’s vision of itself as a tech hub. There are now more than 80, using vast amounts of electricity. Have we entrusted our memories to a system that might destroy them?

The Whitehouse is not allowing Easter eggs to be decorated with religious symbols at the Whitehouse Easter egg hunt.
Someone needs to inform Satan's disciple what the meaning of Easter is all about.

 

[Hunt anything]

Unbelievable, I played baseball with a guy that’s in the SS, he would always send me an egg from the egg roll, these were from GHW Bush and Clinton administrations.

Funny text from my friend earlier today:

"This was the intro to one of the many political texts that I get. I guess this guy Chris Walker is running for Congress. I usually delete them, but I think I'm gonna give this guy a little bit of kudos for originality."

Scott, I think what you are missing is they redefined the word "Republican" to mean something different, and now are weapons free on calling anyone who doesn't fit their new definition "RINO".

Beware the people (of any persuasion) who define their own terms.

We need more like him in DC

Years ago, my Mom worked for Dr. Richard Carmona when he was the head of the Trauma department at Tucson medical center.
When he became Surgeon General, he sent her official Whitehouse Christmas ornaments as a gift .
I've met him multiple times. Seemed like he was a good dude .....for a Democrat anyway.....LOL

Exactly. The "Republican" big tent nowadays is the equivalent of a two-person pop up tent. Regardless of the fact that they are in the minority, the only thing the House Chaos Caucus can do is obstruct and call anyone that disagrees with them to be RINOs or libtards.

Heck, they vote against their own bills if it seems like a compromise. I recall Chip Roy getting real mad at his own caucus for voting against a funding bill he negotiated. At the end it passed with LESS concessions from Democrats as it needed Democrat votes to pass.

I also don't see the logic of wanting to shut the government down to make a point. Especially, in an election year, it has never worked. It results in the other side winning. Then again, logic does not seem to be the calling card of the MAGA crowd.

Fascinating cut from an interview of a Polish volunteer fighting in the Ukrainian Army. They are discussing Russian tactics. Russia has burned through most of its modern armor, and are deep into their reserve stocks of more antiquated materiel. New production can not begin to make up the deficit. The tactics the Polish soldier describes take advantage of Russia's untrained mobilized troops and their relatively few remaining experienced troops to empower their revitalized superiority in artillery - a revitalization almost solely due to Ukrainian shortages of 155mm artillery munitions for its NATO howitzers. For that Russia can give thanks to its loyal allies in the Freedom Caucus and their astute grasp of American national interests.

Hopefully, Mike Johnson has enough strength of character to ignore MTG and ilk and bring the package for Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel to a vote as he has promised.
