Biden Just Destroyed Putin’s Last Hope

Original Article

The long-range missiles matter. So do the super-accurate artillery shells, the surface-to-air missiles, and the winter weather gear; the training in the English countryside or the muddy Grafenwöhr maneuver grounds; and the intelligence provided from the eyes in space and the ears on airplanes that circle outside the battlezone. President Biden’s visit to Kyiv matters just as much as any of these. Other heads of government preceded him, earning deserved credit. But it is an altogether different thing when the president of the United States—who is, indeed, the leader of the Free World—shows up. His words mattered.

OP got it right. They all know that we know that this was a meaningless stunt (and they know we know they know it), so they are puffing up their chests and loudly proclaiming "It's not a stunt!" It's a stunt.

Eliot Cohen is playing the role of Pee Wee Herman in the Sarasota adult cinema's Nurse Nancy fantasy. That's unbecoming, Eliot. Politics can turn smart people into drooling idiots, like the superannuated pols they support. The Resident walks down the street / He says, "Why am I soft in the middle, now? / Why am I soft in the middle? / The rest of my life is so hard / I need a photo-opportunity / I want a shot at redemption / Don't want to end up a cartoon /In a cartoon graveyard...." You're there, pal. Enjoy your upcoming place in history. The only major attraction that will be named for you is Brandon Falls.

Cohen is a GIANT neocon, anti-Trumper, Russophobe. He is a credentialed fool whose opinion is not worth the time it takes to refute it. Time will prove him to have been wrong, perhaps tragically so if Biden continues to stick his decrepit thumb in Putin's eye. Turn the tables; what would America do if Russia started sending billions of dollars of military aid to Mexico to support a border war with us? Do you suppose that Russia is so different?

You can give a monkey a calculator, but that does not make him a mathematician. The Ukrainians have no idea how to fly these planes, drive these tanks, or launch these missiles. The United States is trying to start World War III, and they’ve been at it for two years now.

Some leftist and socialist Democrats are claiming that Biden is the best President since Roosevelt. Some others say that the country was in a deep financial crisis under Roosevelt, and that Roosevelt and the country were bailed out by the Second World War. Today the country is mired in inflation with a high national debt under Biden. So you have to hope that Biden does not stumble into a Third World War thinking that such a conflict would diminish inflation and the ongoing national debt situation.

The Atlantic warmongers. Who knew? President's words matter? Not when Biden speaks them. He's a demented stooge. Biden has never done one thing right in foreign policy, or in domestic policy . Propping up a Nazi regime because they funneled huge amounts to the Biden Crime Family is treason, not "leadership". Biden is a leader of the slave world. Slaves to totalitarian socialism. And a mediocre one at that.

Vivek Ramaswamy, the millionaire entrepreneur and author of Woke, Inc., told National Review on Monday that he is “strongly considering” a run for president and expects to make a decision “very soon.” Ramaswamy said he’s been drawn to the idea of running to address a “national identity crisis” that has left Americans hungry for purpose, meaning, and identity. “We are at a point in our national history when the things that used to fill that void — faith, patriotism, hard work, even family — have disappeared,” he said, adding that in its absence, “wokeism, climate-ism as an ideology, radical gender ideology, Covidism” have become secular religions that fill

Washington — In its first case about the federal law that is credited with helping create the modern internet, the Supreme Court seemed unlikely Tuesday to side with a family wanting to hold Google liable for the death of their daughter in a terrorist attack. In two and a half hours of arguments, the justices seemed concerned about upending the internet in their interpretation of a 1996 law, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, that shields Google, Twitter, Facebook and other companies from lawsuits over content posted on their sites by others.

Multiple indictments were recommended by a special grand jury investigating alleged 2020 presidential election interference by Donald Trump in Georgia, the jury’s forewoman revealed in a Tuesday interview. “It is not a short list,” Emily Kohrs, the forewoman of the jury, said as far as the indictment recommendations, but she would not reveal any specific names to the New York Times in an interview. The big question is whether former President Donald Trump would face an indictment, and Kohrs’s words likely won’t inspire a ton of confidence in the Republican’s supporters. “You’re not going to be shocked. It’s not rocket science,”

Project Veritas board members are accusing the conservative watchdog’s founder, James O’Keefe, of engaging in “financial malfeasance” by spending an excessive amount of donor money on “personal luxuries,” including booking a $14,000 flight to meet someone to fix his boat, according to a prepared statement. The statement by the nonprofit’s board of directors was released Monday after O’Keefe recorded a video from his Project Veritas office announcing that he had been indefinitely suspended from his role as CEO and removed from the board. O’Keefe, a guerilla filmmaker, launched Project Veritas over a decade ago and used under cover reporters and hidden cameras to expose left-wing politicians and institutions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is suspending his country's participation in the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty with the United States, imperiling the last remaining pact that regulates the world's two largest nuclear arsenals. Putin made the declaration in his much-delayed annual state of the nation address to Russia's National Assembly on Tuesday. The treaty puts limits on the number of deployed intercontinental-range nuclear weapons that both the US and Russia can have. It was last extended in early 2021 for five years, meaning the two sides would soon need to begin negotiating on another arms control agreement.

Once upon a time we mocked the Soviet Union for its gerontocracy. Aged party leaders, bundled up in overcoats and fur hats to the point of near-unrecognizability, would be wheeled out to sit, immobile, as parades passed or party congresses opened. Their withered, stale leadership was emblematic of the decaying USSR’s withered, stale ideology — and industrial base. But now the joke’s on us. A leading United States senator, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), can’t seem to remember important things, like her just-taken vote on a judicial nominee and her just-announced retirement. “Did I vote for that?” she asked an aide Wednesday, moments after leaving the chamber.

I think he felt it was really important to stand up next to President Zelenskyy and speak the way that he did today,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on a conference call with press. “[He] felt he had an important mission to undertake, and he was eager to do it,” he added.

The boy was bullied, then choked, leaving visible marks on his neck, and scars on his psyche. Yet, despite Brock bringing the incident to their attention with the video and photographic receipts, the Fairfax County School District took little to no action on her son’s behalf. Brock has since retained the counsel of Cheri Belkowitz and is speaking out to other outlets, including Fox News.

We were told there were 14,000 hours of surveillance video, but now it appears there are roughly 41,000 hours of tape. Tucker has long questioned whether J6 was an actual insurrection. The FBI stated in August 2021 they found little evidence that the crowd tried to topple the United States. A Harvard University survey released in August 2022 said the same thing.

Now, the reports are that he’s made good on that and released 14,000 hours to Tucker Carlson and his crew, that they’re reviewing it, and that there may be even more footage. Carlson said there was never any valid reason to withhold this footage and that it would begin airing in the coming weeks.
