American Thinker, Apr 29, 2024
According to a report out at Breitbart yesterday, Volodymyr Zelensky recently released a statement revealing that his regime and the government of Washington D.C. were in continued contact, “working on a bilateral security agreement” that would see “monetary aid” sent to Ukraine for an agreed-upon time of ten years. Here are the details, from the article:
[...]
But those latter points about the (im)morality of these battling nations is just a matter of getting into the weeds, because the crux is that their war has nothing to do with American security—this is a territory dispute, and a reignition of long-standing conflict. Therefore, using American taxpayer dollars, and incurring debt for the American people for a war that has no bearing on American security, is a total scam.
There are wars over territory all across the world, and legitimate oppression where governments are murdering their own people (a much nobler cause to involve ourselves in), so why aren’t we there? I’m not arguing that we should be, but it should be evidence that it’s not about the cause, but about the arrangement between D.C. politicians and the Zelensky. (Cough, money-laundering scheme, cough, cough.)

"Also, our teams, Ukraine and the United States, are currently working on a bilateral security agreement, and we are already working on a specific text. Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all. We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation,’ Zelensky said. ‘We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and for the next ten years, including armed support, financial, political, and joint arms production. The agreement should be truly exemplary and reflect the strength of American leadership. I am grateful to both our team and the team of the American side for the progress in drafting the agreement.’

The Arizona rancher who became the face of the border crisis after he was charged with shooting a migrant dead on his land will not face a new trial.
George Alan Kelly, 75, was charged with the killing of Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, a Mexican national found dead on Kelly's sprawling ranch in January 2023.
Kelly insists he never shot him, instead only ever firing a warning shot to scare away groups of migrants who regularly crossed through his land.

« Last post by libertybele on Today at 09:36:18 pm »With the perceived tutu military of the USA, you better believe China is contemplating taking the USA on. Don't be surprised if Taiwan is attacked. Even the USA. We are being flooded by military age men from China. How many military operatives does China need to send to the USA that could be positioned in key locations to completely destroy, disrupt the USA militarily?
We have tens of thousands already in the USA, not counting the 400,000 Chinese nationals here in the USA at universities, many who may well be here to participate in an attack on the USA.
The Biden Idiocracy is out to destroy this nation, and he may well get four more years to continue with this destruction.
People should have connected those dots long ago -- China helped with Brandon's election and Brandon helped China with their release of COVID - all to bring this nation down. The fact that our borders are being invaded with so many Chinese nationals isn't by accident.
Let's Go Brandon!!

Elections 2024 / The new economic ideas Trump advisers are floating for second term — to campaign’s chagrin

Trumpworld is flush with economic advisers pushing different policy proposals for a possible second term — to the annoyance of the Trump campaign.
Top GOP advisers and those likely to gain places in a second Trump administration are jockeying to advance various economic policy proposals, some of which result in disagreement among the cast of characters coming in and out of former President Donald Trump‘s residence at Mar-a-Lago.
Advisers see a second Trump term as a way to undo some of the economic changes made during the Biden administration and also enact policies that would represent a major sea change in U.S. economic and monetary policy on the global stage.
The posturing and public discussions of some of the ideas have angered top staff on the Trump campaign, which is trying to focus squarely on winning the coming election, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The Trump campaign has emphasized that none of the policy proposals discussed in the media are cannon unless they come from Trump or an authorized member of his campaign team.
Alex Conant, a GOP strategist and a partner at Firehouse Strategies, told the Washington Examiner that the campaign watching these policy debates among Trump’s inner circle play out publicly is likely an annoyance.
“As somebody who has worked on a lot of presidential campaigns, whenever the advisers start talking to the media instead of the campaign, it creates headaches,” he said. “You want everything that’s out there publicly to be what the campaign supports and advancing the candidate’s agenda.”
