Ibime:Chatbot tell me this about America aid to Ukraine since the invasion to Feb 2025. Total Military Assistance: Approximately $65.9 billion in military aid has been delivered to Ukraine. Emergency Funding: The U.S. has allocated around $128 billion in total commitments dedicated exclusively to support Ukraine during the conflict. Recent Aid Packages: On January 9, 2025, the U.S. approved its 74th package of military aid, valued at $500 million Who doesn't know that data can be manipulated to suit the occasion. Chatgpt According to official records, Congress appropriated or otherwise made available nearly $183 billion for Operation Atlantic Resolve and the broader Ukraine response. Additionally, the United States provided $20 billion in loans as part of the G7 nations' extraordinary revenue acceleration loans initiative. UKRAINEOVERSIGHT.GOV |
Tales from two worlds. Under Joe Biden, Chris Wray confirmed the worst threat to America was Domestic Terrorists aka white nationalists. Joe Biden repeated April 2021: “.. the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today is from white supremacist terrorism". Biden 2 months later doubled down "According to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. Not ISIS, not al Qaeda — white supremacists....... .” Attorney General Merrick Garland “told congress that violence incited by white supremacists poses ‘the most dangerous threat to our democracy.." White supremacists are Trump supporters. Biden went for the J6ers, went for Trump,spied on Catholic churches for pro- lifers and parents in school.board meetings , embedded itself on social media deplatforming critics and went for grandmothers praying outside abortion clinics. Now Tulso Gabbard has identified terrorists who swarmed through the borders as the most serious threat. 99 on terrorist watch list had already been arrested crossing the border . In short Tulsi Gabbard knows that jihadists are the worst threat to national security. Joe Biden admin viewed Trump supporters as the worst threat .. because had they prevailed they would have kicked the liberals out from power. This is a terrible misuse of resources to go after your political opponents. I think it rises to the level of a crime. There were reports of an Iranian anti aircraft missile smuggled in by Iran that can shoot down a plane. The trappings of power and it's pursuit does absolutely corrupt individuals. |
bemeruca:Just watched the whole 48 minutes. Zelensky has no shame, dictating what he wants. Future security guarantee with American companies on the ground. In other words America troops guarding the Ukraine boundaries at the minimum. Extrapolating about future peace he wants more aid to beat back Russia and retake Crimea. On top of that he spoke over both Trump and Vance. Utterly disrespectful. Coming to Europe who have small armies, their population won't fight , they just want the easy life and for America to prop up their defences. Their migrant population didn't go there to fight for Europe they are there for self economic benefits . The migrants who want to fight like in UK went to join ISIS against their own countries. More of them joined ISIS than the UK military. EU can puff their chests, offer aid but no soldiers , they are too cowardly to engage direct with Russia. |
givedemwotowoto:Total nonsense. Russia has been unable to take Ukraine for 3 years,they will manage EU? . You are repetitive of what EU leaders say. They want to weaken Russia and take control of it's vast wealth, they are using Ukraine to wear down the Russians. Don't think EU loves Ukrainians. They want Ukraine wealth,then they go for Russia wealth.They dont care how many will die before they own the grain fields and oil mines of the Russians. |
Norway has the largest sovereign wealth fund over $ 2Trillion. They can finance Kiev . |
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth privately warned Mexican officials that US military was prepared to take action against drug cartels: report Mexico is not happy , he told them he would bomb fentanyl labs as govt moved to protect the cartels. The tarriffs issue is big. Mexico extradited 29 cartel criminals to America for trial yesterday. Tariffs do work. 25% import tarriffs work much better . |
cococandy:Was he lobbying to chop up forests,sell all the trees and buy himself a beach home ? Schultz previously served as vice president of resources and government affairs at Idaho Forest Group, where he led timber procurement operations and managed relationships with government officials at all levels. A former U.S. Air Force officer, Schultz also served as director of the Idaho Department of Lands, overseeing the management of several million surface acres of endowment lands and minerals. He held leadership roles in Montana’s Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, managing the Trust Lands and Water Resources Divisions. Schultz holds a bachelor’s degree in government from the University of Virginia, a master’s degree in political science from the University of Wyoming, and a master’s degree in forestry from the University of Montana. |
Friday A federal judge blocked EO that blocked funding for hospitals that perform gender transitions. The judge was appointed by Biden. A judge has ruled on the case of fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel. The judge ruled that the firing was illegal. The DC judge is Amy Bernan , appointed in office by Obama. That's why I called America judicial system shambolic. Democrat judges and Republican judges. A democrat SCOTUS judge cannot define a woman because she is not a biologist. She could have simply said a woman is a birthing , menstruating , chest feeding or inseminating persons. |
When is enough enough Former Gov announces plan to run for mayor of NY . Now that Eric Adams is facing prosecution. Cuomo the guy who housed infected COVID patients with the elderly now wants a political position. Eric Adams case. A judge appointed by Biden has refused to dismiss the case pending a hearing . **How is it that Trump political cases always end up with Democrat appointed judges? All of them. |
feedthenation:These protesters are on a speed dial in every city. They are paid agitators, when needed they are contacted via messaging apps. They are then bused to where needed. Well printed posters are a giveaway as to the central planners. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2016/10/17/exclusive-okeefe-video-sting-exposes-bird-dogging-democrats-effort-to-incite-violence-at-trump-rallies/ There were many bused to Washing DC on Jan 6 to create chaos. ****I reply to you knowing you are impervious to reason on any matter Trump **** These ones attacked a Tesla car dealership in NYC. How would someone be rooting out govt corruption?

Zelensky releases video of meeting with bipartisan house members just before he went to the Whitehouse. They were all fawning over him , treating him better than their president.
The list Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) Jacky Rosen (D-NV) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Charles Grassley (R-IA) Chris Murphy (D-CT) Peter Welch (D-VT) Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) Lindsey later blasted Zelensky confirming he been to Ukraine 8,9 times to shore up the war. Zelensky actions at the White house _disrespected the US President and his cabinet _spoke over both President Trump and VP J.D. Vance _called J.D. by his first name and not the title _Called Vance a bitch in Russian _Argued with Trump and Vance _Disrespected the American audience And then, he was escorted from the White House.

descarado:The west is proud of it's freedoms . China , you know what not to say. Decadence is the modern way in the west. Disregard of religion . Funny most of those who don't believe in a good God believes an evil Satan , both are spirits. Then there are those who worship the Devil and poke fun of the believers China social life is pretty decadent too with their atheism state policy. The Chinese are not known to be proud of any truth or freedom. You echo the CCP position if you are Chinese. No ifs or buts. |
bemeruca:Everything is always coordinated Seems there is a Central Clearing House that sets what words to use for everyone on the group. No coincidence those tweets are almost identical. |
descarado:The west is a million times better than Chinaman. Wait till he dislodges America. They have a long term plan to be the world's superpower , they will steal IP, manufacture fake and substandard goods, send fentanyl to the west, force every citizen of theirs abroad to always put mother China first before anything else, use slave labor, manipulate their currency , etc to achieve that. They don't allow FB, IG, X, Google etc . They have the most advanced public face recognition CCTV operated by their police department. You can't establish a factory there if you won't have Chinese partners ( I'm not sure whether that's still the case today) meaning once they know your trade secrets they open a similar factory next door. |
cococandy:He doesn't lie but he embellishes. If it stinks then it's bad. $1B is bad enough for a war that should never have been started. If I caught you kissing your neighbor and tell your husband I saw you redhanded in the act, would you convince him that the only body fluids you exchanged was saliva? ![]() |
Seems like Zelensky took advice from Victoria Nuland, Blinken , Susan Rice and Vindman to reject the deal . On X it's said he took calls before meeting Trump. Makes sense. He is the one who insisted on coming to DC to sign the deal. There is a small act Logan Act that Joe Biden had suggested in Dec 2016 could be used to nail Michael Flynn..... Susan Rice was in that meeting at the oval office then. Trump revoked security clearance for a DC lawfirm Covington and Burling plus any contract they have with the govt. Eric Holder is a partner there. Victoria Nuland is a partner there after being the Ukraine Shadow president.

bemeruca:Zelensky telling Trump they "can't feel it " because of a nice ocean surrounding America was just outrageous. |
descarado:Be careful what you wish for. If it's the Chinese who were the superpower, you'd be dreaming in Mandarin. For example , China influence in WHO is immense,yet they are not among the top 15 contributors to the body.. |
bemeruca:How long is the video The meeting lasted 48 minutes, the last 10 minutes or so is what I've watched. Marco Rubio said the disrespect was before what I have watched. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14449431/marco-rubio-zelensky-reason-apologize-trump.html |
budaatum:Deflect. I will put you to the sword before long. Datarepublican who has been doxxed for exposing where USAID funds go to( She is waiting for a DOGE job). She is readying a tool to query voter matters. I doubt you've heard about her ,your leftie media will not cover her unless when she is exposed.
|
feedthenation:Are you sure EU countries have given more to Ukraine than Biden did?. Macron factchecks , were probably for media benefit, maybe the same thing Zelensky wanted . To be praised by media for standing up to Trump? Trump says $350B, Someone here says $175B ostensibly Trump doubled his figures. Audit needed
|
budaatum:So that gave him the right to try and pander to media present in the office, dressed like a cowboy and call Vance a bitch. He also goes on to say nothing is acceptable without American boots on the ground. Reuters reports. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency, had already begun probing potential problems with large sums of U.S. economic and security assistance provided to Ukraine, but those efforts would now be sped up. "They're already finding problems," the official said, without providing additional details Methinks he has some blackmail material on congress critters loudly supporting him. Time will tell . |
bemeruca:Yes note Russia is trying to win over the Ukrainians who are being wooed by NATO. But months to occupy some villages and Ukraine still has anti-aircraft missiles on. Ask Iran where their S-300s are. Taken out by Israel from thousands of kilometers away. Israel can fly in and out , those manning their SAMs better switch them off. Russia has that Oreshnik only that they have used once. It does not want to destroy Ukraine at the same time , but in a war you take out the enemy defences or breach them at will. Russia also is not using other ballistics that rained on Israel from a thousand kilometers away Why doesn't Iran send their ground army to Israel they have to use cowardly terrorist attacks and then scream genocide when no nonsense Israel retaliates. Russia has been warning NATO not to send long range weapons that can reach Moscow to Ukraine.Tells you a lot about their much vaunted S-300,400 and 500 efficacies. |
descarado:Not only that he has halted repairing the power transmission project America was to undertake. |
budaatum:Liar, Zelensky has refused to sign a deal 3 times in the last two weeks. The last deal yesterday was about $90 billion to repay America, which means there had been negotiations. He came to sign the deal, not to call Vance a bitch in the WH. |
bemeruca:Bemeruca..Those western militaries are deadly. They have mastered the art of warfare. Russia has been struggling for months to take a few villages and outposts. Mainly because they don't control the airspace, they can't use close support helicopters or gunships instead relying on artillery . America is far advanced in terms of everything including intelligence. Western militaries are hamstrung by lawyers and armchair generals away from battle fighting humane wars. If there was no nuclear weapons threat they can wipe the floor with Russia . Chinese , noone knows about them. They wars they fought relied on numbers and zealots throwing themselves like ants into a battle. These western armies are dysinfunctional because they want to follow rules of engagement. Take that out ,their weaponry and tactics are immense. Europeans also know they have NATO backed by America. |
MERCHANDISER:Zelensky was silent when Trump was impeached for asking him to investigate the now proven Hunter Biden corruption. It seems he might have blackmail material on Biden and other globalists wrt funds sent to Ukraine. Teeming with arrogance ,he set out to embarrass Trump Infront of media.He forgot Trump has a very long history with media and reality TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLD1yhxNik |
cococandy:We can agree that not everyone who works at FAA is an ATC . Which as I pointed out, will have an increased workforce of ATCs and a higher pay. At the time of that midair collision there was one ATC on duty doing helicopter and normal planes which normally is handled by two.Its ironic to fire staff when there is already a shortage. Maybe you can explain that logic. That's why I always take every anti Trump article with a pinch of salt. |
cococandy:You do a good job and Elon has said he Asperger's Syndrome. My AI chatbot tells me Asperger's Syndrome, now considered part of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), manifests in several key ways: Social Interaction Difficulties: Challenges in understanding social cues and emotions. Difficulty making eye contact and engaging in conversations. Repetitive Behaviors and Interests: Intense focus on specific topics or hobbies. Preference for routines and resistance to change. Communication Challenges: May have a formal or monotone speech style. Difficulty understanding sarcasm or idiomatic expressions. Sensory Sensitivities: Over- or under-sensitivity to sensory inputs like sounds, lights, or textures. You might want to delete what you wrote above fresh from this knowledge infusion. |
cococandy:Preempting you from saying he is firing ATCs. |
cococandy:Wage increase for Air Traffic Controllers due. On Thursday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced that the Trump administration is actively working to address the air traffic controller staffing shortage by exploring a 30% pay increase for new recruits. “This staffing shortage has been a known challenge for over a decade, and this administration is committed to solving it,” Duffy stated. “The new streamlined hiring process is just the first step to deliver on President Trump’s agenda to prioritize the American people’s safety and modernize the federal government.” Under the proposed plan, the starting wage for air traffic controller trainees would increase from $17.61 to $22.84 per hour. Duffy emphasized that this adjustment is designed to provide a livable wage during training, with certified controllers potentially earning an average of $160,000 annually within three years. However, he noted that the pay increase would need congressional approval to secure the necessary funding. He still your public enemy number one ![]() |
Insiders claim President Vlodymyr Zelenskyy "begged to stay" at the White House after his furious confrontation with Donald Trump and JD Vance. The Ukrainian leader, who was slammed for his outfit choice amid a 'dictator' scandal, clashed with the US President and Vice President in an explosive Oval Office meeting that descended into chaos. According to Fox News, Zelensky "begged to stay and work this out" but a seething Trump "kicked him out", meaning a lunch meant for the Ukrainians was left for White House staffers to eat. A 2017 CNN top headline story was that Trump gets two scoops of ice cream while the rest get one. GRRR. Dont I just love the media.
