Whatever you think of Ukraine, our own house is on fire while we send the bucket brigade to another house. We have an invasion of our own border that goes unreported by the alphabet media. We have an economy in crisis, skyrocketing crime, and perhaps worst of all we have burgeoning crises in our own military and health care systems that have been caused by our own government and are also largely unreported. We have a moral crisis of major proportions affecting our schools and our children. America has internal enemies that have and are doing more damage to America than Putin has done to Ukraine. So tell me why I am supposed to be more upset and energized about what is going on in Ukraine than what is going on right here in my own country? The fact that my elected representatives seem more interested in Ukraine than America is an abomination and highly offensive to me. Where is the $12 Billion in aid for OUR border, where OUR invasion is taking place? Who is coming to the aid of Texas border ranchers who sit with their families every night in their homes with all the lights turned out, weapons on the tables next to them? I could go on and on. What is happening inside this once great nation of America is the most degenerate and disgusting thing imaginable. Crickets from our politicians and the fourth estate who are supposed to protect us. God help us!
We'll be paying for this atrocious disregard for the criminals being allowed to recirculate ALL OVER OUR COUNTRY, for years, nay decades! ICE should have no trouble rounding up a posse of lawful gun owners to take care of this problem, right? (Name withheld)
Thanks Ralph. This may come to a hot Civil War, although nothing like 1861.
Their plan is to implement a Digital Dictatorship which is the purest form of tyranny. This means all your money will be digital dollars controlled by the government, and the digital surveillance state will know everything about you 24/7. This will make any organized uprising extremely difficult. They are not planning on taking on the 400 million weapons. They know that would be foolish. Their strategy is not to match bullets with bullets, it is to match bullets with starvation(for you and your family), financial destitution and the gulag.
Another excellent article Bill! As alway's, thank you for your hidden advice, well written into your post, for those who have the insight to read between the lines. For the other dear readers, who just read without seeing, continue on your path in life and wish you well.
Russia is weak, but has real weapons of mass destruction, that we really wouldn't appreciate seeing in our part of the hemisphere. Keep on poking the bear, and it's a question of when it will bite you.
I understand those who live in the past, and dream of America's once super power status, and how incredible our strength was. The day's when we could destroy one of the most powerful armies in the Middle East in one day. When the thought of provoking America would make Xi and Putin cringe in fear. They have caught up, and even surpassed us in technology, thanks to the same corporations that created the monsters and now cry for war with those same monsters as they continue to make billions.
While our generals were busy fighting for "equity" and helping our men change into women, their equals were busy training their men to fight.
Yes, elections have consequences, especially corrupt elections, and as our Military, FBI and CIA were being purged of it's finest American's, and replaced with corrupt progressives who promote wokism over patriotism, our enemies supported the insanity of our those same fake leaders they helped place into power. They are treasonous. They are bought and paid for by China, and will do whatever told.
I always believed Liberalism was a mental disorder, but now realize it's a well planned conspiracy, created by those who want America destroyed, and supported by those who have been indoctrinated to believe in the lies they hear, or are just useful idiots that honestly don't know better.
War is not an option for this current America. Yes, we can continue to send money and weapons to extend the suffering of the Ukrainians, and the wealth of those pushing the insanity, but as more innocent die, more evil profit.
I did not interpret Bill's spirited observation about guns v butter; that is, our representatives quickly spending money we don't have to help the Ukrainians defend themselves, as an endorsement of Putin nor as tolerance for the consequences that will affect everyone on this planet.
However, I did find perplexing his question, "What are we fighting for?" Of course, the answer is: we are not fighting; we are only helping a country of 40 million inhabitants defend themselves from a brutal invader who covets their property and with, murder and mayhem, plans to acquire it.
PG V, I have to say, love your enthusiasm for how the US has defended democracy and “freedom” and we only invaded when others were invaded, but I am sorry I completely disagree. The US has been sticking it nose and meddling in other people’s business since Teddy Roosevelt, all in the name of protecting you the average citizen. Look at Central America, it is our foreign policies that have destablized the region, given rise the the cartels and supported two bit dictators which in turn caused a whiplash of socialist movements seen today. Let’s face it, how many dictators and all around bad people has US policy created? Noriega, Hussein, oh and yea wasn’t Bin Laden one of our original creations to fight the Russkies in Afghanistan?
Definitely a different lens. Agree completely on FDR. Basically, I don't believe we should have ceded the power to our government that we have. What happened to the Consitution? Either way, hope the Ukrainians kick their ass, got to respect what they have done. Would support anyone who wanted to go over there and help them but suspect anyone that wanted to supply their own equipment would not be permitted to travel. After all, it is the UN pushing the Small Arms treaty; I guess that means thank God for the CIA.

Give them credit for overwhelming support to keep daylight saving time all year.
Remember Hillary, Uranium One, and $145 million dollars

So my brother, we can agree to disagree, as family's often do!
That is what makes us human. Progressives are not in our family.......
It seems our politicians have already learned the process Putin used to obtain his power!
dc/wall st/fed/congress. what a cluster of f#&ks.
but as a wise guy once said, do we blame the master for being the master, or the slave for being the slave.
Right on, PG
Look at the stocks of Booze Allen Hamilton(up 15 points)and Northrop Grumman(up 100 points in less than 10 days
Indeed!
Having a bad day? My observation was innocuous.
I did not interpret Bill's spirited observation about guns v butter; that is, our representatives quickly spending money we don't have to help the Ukrainians defend themselves, as an endorsement of Putin nor as tolerance for the consequences that will affect everyone on this planet.

Looks like USA doesn't understand Russian mentality. Sanctions won't work (no matter how 'SWIFT and severe')...
You missed the 25% raise for themselves that Congress added to the bill.
Useful idiot
You forgot Trump, and Bush
nobody cares what you think troll.
I care. Good post PG V!
naughty naughty. We all have a right to express our opinions!
