Scandal: Nearly $100 Billion in Ukraine
Aid Is Missing
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 2/3/2025 1:44:53 PM
Foreign aid to Ukraine has become a heated debate with Democrats — and a surprising number of Republicans — insisting that it’s essential for bolstering Ukraine’s defenses against Russia. Joe Biden even went so far as to suggest that Republican resistance to additional aid played a role in the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. I could easily rattle off more quotes from Biden and congressional Democrats emphasizing just how critical they claim this aid to be. Biden was quick to make sure that Ukraine got even more aid before Trump took office. Despite the alleged critical nature of this aid, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Hollywood star Ben Stiller has spread the false claim that Elon Musk performed a “double Nazi salute” during an inaugural event for President Donald Trump last month.
In a recent interview with Kara Swisher’s podcast “On,” Ben Stiller addressed his online feud with the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire
“I know he really likes Tropic Thunder,” the actor said. “Great. Good for him. But after the Nazi salute — the double Nazi salute — I’m not just into it. Never was into it.”
The establishment news media ran with the unfounded claim that Musk performed Nazi salutes during a Trump inaugural event at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. on January 20.
The Trump administration is making sure that the people of East Palestine, Ohio, are not forgotten, with Vice President JD Vance visiting the area on the two year anniversary of a toxic train derailment.
Vance was not alone, joined by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, as well as U.S. Sens. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and Jon Husted (R-OH), newly-confirmed Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, and Vivek Ramaswamy. [Tweets, videos]
“As a lot of you know, one of the first real crises that we confronted when I was United States senator for the great state of Ohio was the train derailment in East Palestine,”
You love to see it.
The Democrats have zero power so they are throwing tantrums and melting down over Trump exercising his executive power.
Tension started building up over the weekend after the Trump Admin put two top leaders at the US Agency for International Development on leave because they refused to give Elon Musk’s DOGE classified documents.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio took over as Acting Director of USAID after the agency’s staffers were told to leave the headquarters overnight.
Rubio said the USAID is supposed to respond to the State Department’s policies and it was refusing to do so.
“It’s supposed to respond to the State Department’s policies. It refuses to do so.
Amid the ramping up of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) round-ups around the country courtesy of the priorities of President Donald Trump, elected Democrat officials in places that have declared themselves "sanctuaries" for illegal immigrants haven't been shy about openly announcing their defiance. (Snip) Murphy, as it turns out, has admittedly taken his #Resistance efforts to a whole new level, strongly implying without outright admitting during a recent sit-down interview that he and his wife, NJ First Lady and failed 2024 Senate candidate Tammy Murphy, may be harboring an illegal immigrant above their garage. Immediately after the statement, he pretty much dared ICE to come after them:
President Donald Trump, just two weeks into his second term, has wasted no time in taking a blowtorch to the United States' traditional approach to foreign policy and diplomacy. Over the weekend, it was the DOGE-led effort to slow the roll of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) that garnered all the headlines as the world came to grips with the fact that Trump is all out of bubblegum.
RedState's Bob Hoge reported Saturday that, in the wake of an attempt by top USAID security officials to stop DOGE personnel from accessing USAID headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Trump administration suspended those officials
On March 4, 2002, as daylight was replacing darkness, Air Force combat controller John Chapman was fighting for his life. He was fighting alone on a snow-covered mountain in Afghanistan called Takur Ghar. The SEAL team he was attached to (codenamed MAKO 30), commanded by Senior Chief Britt Slabinski, had left him for dead. But Chapman wasn’t dead. After battling alone for the better part of an hour in the bitter cold, Chapman was almost out of ammunition. A Chinook (Razor 01) with a QRF of Rangers was 45 seconds from landing. Firing in three directions, Chapman was still killing Al Qaeda and laying down suppressing fire
Over the weekend President Donald Trump made good on his promise to implement tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.
"The extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, constitutes a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)," the White House released in a "fact check." "Until the crisis is alleviated, President Donald J. Trump is implementing a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China. Energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff." [Tweet, video]
"Canada has played a central role in these challenges,
The DEI Uproar Is All the Left’s Fault

The tragic midair collision of an American Airlines plane and a military helicopter last week in Washington DC has sadly brought DEI hiring practices to the forefront of American politics. It’s one thing, after all, for leftists to practice their dumb, counterproductive, unfair ‘social justice’ policies in the halls of academia or their woke corporations, but it’s quite another to do it when actual lives are at stake, and they’ve been doing it for years. So when dozens are snuffed out in an instant and there’s even the slightest chance DEI could have been a fraction of the culprit for what was obviously a huge series of massive mistakes,
Townhall previously reported how “wokeness” was implemented into the Golden Globe awards last month. This year’s Grammy Awards ceremony was even worse.
Ahead of the awards ceremony, singer Chappell Roan spoke to left-wing organization GLAAD on the red carpet. She went on a spiel about “trans joy” being taken away now that President Donald Trump is in office.
“It’s brutal right now, but trans people have always existed and they will forever exist and they will never, no matter what happens, take trans joy away and that has to be protected more than anything. I would not be here without trans girls. Just know that pop music is thinking about you
I don't know about you, but I need a break from politics and plane crash headlines today, so I'm going to share something a little more positive.
Say what you will about Verizon, but the company stepped up in a big way to assist victims of Hurricane Helene recently, and they asked someone who's a legend in North Carolina to help.
Roy Williams was the head basketball coach at the University of North Carolina from 2003 until 2021, leading the Tar Heels to the Final Four five times and winning three national championship titles. He's also from Western North Carolina. He was born in Marion,

"Can't stop the signal," the phrase popularized in the 2005 sci-fi flick "Serenity" has today been supplanted by "Can't hide the data," courtesy of Data Republican (small-r)'s ever-improving Federal government grant award search. For example, how does a private figure like William Kristol get taxpayer money to fund his political activities?
Answer: it's complicated. But I can show you the way.
Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors received nearly $38 million in grants last year, nearly evenly divided between USAID and the State Department. Because the Rockefellers don't have enough of their own money, I suppose.
RPA gave significant sums (the Data Republican chart did not make clear how much, but I'm still digging

On Saturday the US Army released the name of the pilot of the US Army Blackhawk helicopter that flew into a passenger jet landing at Reagan National Airport.
The crash was on Wednesday. The third pilot’s name, Rebecca Lobach, was finally released on Saturday, three days later.
All 64 passengers in the jet were killed.
The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash.
Kristinn Taylor at The Gateway Pundit reported:
After withholding at the request of the family the name of the female pilot killed in the mid-air collision Wednesday night between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a PSA/American Airlines passenger plane on final approach to Reagan National Airport
During Sunday’s broadcast of CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he was still at odds with President Donald Trump despite his election victory last November.
The Kentucky Republican said he still harbored ill-will for what he had alleged was Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
Partial transcript as follows:
STAHL: How would you describe your relationship with President Trump?
MCCONNELL: Well, we haven’t spoken for quite a while. I was very upset about what happened January 6.
STAHL: You had to be evacuated from the Senate along with other leaders. Your staff was in your office. The rioters
They actually did it. Democrats have just elected David Hogg as the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Ken Martin of Minnesota won the race for Chair. The diversity obsessed Democrats just elected two white guys to lead their party. (X Video)

BREAKING: Anti-gun influencer David Hogg elected Vice-Chair of DNC
Left-wing social media influencer David Hogg has been elected vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), making history as the first member of Generation Z to assume the position.
Former President Joe Biden signed with Creative Arts Agency, a rep announced on Monday, indicating that the 82-year-old may be ready to start more Hollywood ventures after leaving the White House.
Biden was previously represented by CAA after he left the vice presidency from 2017 to 2020. During that time as a client, he published his book “Promise Me, Dad,” and went on an “American Promise” tour across the country. (Photo) The former president has not specifically revealed what his life will look like in the coming years, but had said in the final days of his term that he expected his voice to continue to influence politics.
A French gynaecologist has been barred from practising for a month because he refused to examine a transgender patient on the grounds that he was only qualified to treat “real women”.
Dr Victor Acharian was accused of transphobia after he turned the patient away in August 2023, and LGBT groups lodged complaints.
In December he appeared before a disciplinary board of the French Medical Council and he has now been suspended for a month from March 1, with an additional five months’ probation.
Édouard Martial, a lawyer representing the patient, said: “We have the satisfaction of having confirmation that what happened that day was totally abnormal.”

Former President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, and former Chief of Staff, Kelly Magsamen, have sparked controversy by launching a personal attack on Pete Hegseth after a fatal plane crash involving a military helicopter and an American Airlines aircraft. In a sharp rebuke, the former defense official, who helped Austin cover up his absence from the Pentagon during a health crisis in January 2024, attacked Hegseth for his comments about DEI and falsely accused him of blaming the female co-pilot, Capt. Rebecca Lobach, for the incident.

James Carville has been complaining about his party for months and now he is telling everyone what he really thought of Kamala Harris as a candidate. It’s not good.
He threw Harris under the bus as a ‘seventh string’ quarterback who ‘couldn’t put together a sentence.’
Carville made the remarks during a live event for Firing Line.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy openly admitted that he and his wife, First Lady Tammy Murphy, are personally harboring an illegal immigrant in their own home—practically daring federal authorities to step in.
During a recent event with Blue Wave New Jersey, Murphy nonchalantly revealed that an individual whose “immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to” is currently residing above his garage.
Murphy’s comments came during a broader discussion about the new Trump administration’s policies. While refusing to disclose specific details, the governor made his position clear:

Republicans on Capitol Hill have largely fallen in line with Donald Trump’s move to impose tariffs on the US’s biggest trading partners, with the notable exception of the former Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, who called it a “bad idea”.
With even Trump admitting that the tariffs – 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% on China – might cause “some pain”, there was mostly strong support from the president’s loyalists. Jason Smith, chair of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives, said the tariffs would “send a powerful message that the United States will no longer stand by
Dozens of Democrat leaders are reportedly struggling to find a “coherent message” to fight President Donald Trump.
The New York Times reported Sunday that, at private meetings and public events, Democrats “appear leaderless, rudderless, and divided.”
Democrats have elected Ken Martin to be their next Democrat National Committee (DNC) chair, who will conduct a post-election review largely based on tactics and messaging.
Now, the Times said after more than 50 interviews with Democrat leaders they cannot figure out what the party should stand for, what issues they should focus on, and how to confront Trump.
Senator Chuck Schumer is a lawyer, so presumably he is familiar with the provisions of 18 U.S. Code § 115. In case he has forgotten—after all, there are a lot of statutes to keep track of—Edward R. Martin, Jr., the Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney, is in the process of reminding him. Among other things, that statute holds that anyone who threatens a federal government official or their family with the “intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with such official, judge, or law enforcement officer while engaged in the performance of official duties, or with intent to retaliate against such official, judge, or law enforcement officer on account of the performance
