Ukraine

Representatives Matt Gaetz of Florida and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and joined by Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri have made wild statements and taken absurd positions. The three of them want to abandon Ukraine, which will allow Russia to overrun Ukraine. Their geopolitical ignorance is astonishing. Greene stated “Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine, our country comes first”. Gaetz proposed a resolution calling for an end to aid for Ukraine and Hawley said the U.S. policy of supporting Ukraine’s survival has to stop.

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has joined them by saying the Ukraine War is “not a vital national interest but a territorial dispute.”

These government officials put politics first to the detriment of our country. They are trying to make President Biden look bad, and don’t consider the impact of their positions on the world stage. Thankfully, the majority of our government officials understand the world situation and the need to stand up to Russian aggression. They should not allow politics to threaten our national security and the security of other countries.

Preventing Russia from conquering Ukraine, attacking NATO countries, and then drawing the U.S. into a major war with millions of casualties and costing hundreds of additional billions of dollars should be a very high strategic priority.

Biden approval

One third of U S adults disapprove of what Joseph Robinette Biden is doing as president but if you listen to Joe, all he can say or whisper is that MAGA Republicans are a threat to democracy.  Mr. President, stop the blame game and focus on what your plans are for the next four years.

Electric vehicles

EV’s are not reliable in the cold. They sell, if at all, because a $7,500 kickback from the government helps in affordability.  It is a progressive sleight of hand that creates a fake economic push to help dealers move a product nobody wants.

Hertz is selling off 20,000 EVs from its fleet because customers don’t want to rent them.  I also heard that about 100 private jets a day were landing in Davos, Switzerland, where the elite globalists were meeting to plan the future for you and me. These same people want to stop oil and gas energy production.  How much do you want to bet that their planes don’t run on solar or wind power?
