Do a search - Biden stated publicly that it would be OK if Russia did a 'little' invasion. The Ukraine/Russia war is Bidens war. He never did enough to break the stalemate.

I can understand Trump not wanting to pile on Russia. We all know who invaded whom, now is the time to stop the dying. Like after WWI the goal was to hurt Germany and make them pay, those that understand history see how that worked out. After WWII the approach was different, when peace was reached the goal was to rebuild and make it a lasting peace, not to make Germany suffer any more than they already had.

Methinks the time has arrived that we free ourselves of the UN. Make them pay all their NYC parking tickets, give them 90 days to find a new home, and then cart that entire building out to the Marianas trench and drop it in. Ukraine, at one time, was a sovereign nation. Russia, another sovereign nation brutally attacked Ukraine, on the very flimsiest of provocations. The UN stood there with their fingers up a dark and stinky place AND DID NOTHING! The UN is useless. We certainly don't need the UN, especially in our country. Let them go play somewhere else and stop squandering our resources in their direction.

93 voted for it...but 83 nations abstained or voted against the ridiculous measure demanding an "Unconditional withdrawal" which included handing Crimea back....non-starter. Zelensky hasn't offered to "Unconditionally" withdraw HIS forces from east of the old lines... It's similar to the UN demands on Israel to withdraw to 1967 borders...to which the proper response is "Which MONTH of 1967?", during that year Israel held all of Sinai, and controlled the canal.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is holding a Ukraine summit in London today with EU leaders, following two phone calls with President Trump. According to the outline Starmer proposed on BBC News, following the disastrous Zelenskyy meeting in the White House, the British PM called President Trump and also Emmanuel Macron. According to his statements, Starmer told Trump he would work with Macron +2 unidentified countries (a “coalition of the willing”), to organize an EU security force for a Ukraine ceasefire; then the group will require Trump to provide a U.S. troop “backstop” as an insurance policy. Starmer completely ignores the NATO provocations against Russia that preceded the military operation

Not unexpectedly, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ruled that unelected bureaucrat, Hampton Dellinger, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel head has more unilateral power within the executive branch of government than President Donald Trump. [RULING pdf HERE]This ruling stems from the same mindset as former AG Bill Barr, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy AG Sally Yates, former IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson, and the entire organization of professional Lawfare activists that includes Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen. The collective belief is that in the modern “continuity of government” framework, the bureaucracy of government controls things, not the elected and plenary President.

America’s Catholics are facing a crisis of authority. The social and economic realities of mass migration contradict the Vatican’s facile theologizing on open borders. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), in accord with Pope Francis’ globalist conceits, opposes President Donald Trump’s resolve to curtail illegal migration. Catholics are caught between fidelity to ecclesial leadership and obedience to the just laws of our own country. Francis’ hostility to Trump is no secret. Damian Thompson, former editor of Britain’s Catholic Herald, wrote: “In 2016, Francis gave his blessing to the Hillary Clinton campaign’s Catholic front organizations, motivated not just by their shared obsession with anti-racism and climate change but contempt for Donald Trump.”

The House Judiciary Committee issued a series of subpoenas to the FBI on Monday aimed at obtaining documents related to President Biden’s weaponization of the agency against his political opponents. The move is an apparent attempt to eliminate any legal obstacles used by the bureaucracy to hide evidence of the prior administration’s abuse of the agency. “Under the Biden Administration and the tenure of former Director Christopher Wray, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) departed from its core public safety mission, suffered from senior leadership failures, and refused any real transparency or accountability for its actions,” committee chair and Rep.

The five largest U.S. public school districts stand to lose more than $5 billion in federal funds per year if they refuse to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order barring progressive ideologies such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in schools. Under a Jan. 29 executive order from Trump, districts face federal funding cuts for maintaining personnel, training, or instructional functions centered on providing special or separate treatment to any employees or students based on race or gender. The order, which cites federal civil rights laws, also prohibits curricula that suggest that the United States and its public institutions are inherently racist.
