Politico reported on Wednesday that the Biden administration had secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine and that Kiev had used them in their ongoing war with Russia.
Ukraine has long sought weapons that can strike deep inside of Russia, which critics argue could severely escalate the conflict.
How much deeper can America get in this war?
❗️ Ukraine in March secretly received more than 100 ATACMS missiles with a range of 300 km and a large number of cluster munitions, the NYT has quoted its sources as saying
It is reported that the missiles Ukraine received, in particular, hit the m ..read more

In late November, President Joe Biden touted the benefits of a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package during a visit at Dakota County Technical College in Minnesota.
Biden joined students in the college’s Heavy Duty Truck Technology area, where he toured the premises.
The president told the students that they were the next generation of American workers and emphasized why he thought they were important.
Then he kept talking, which of course meant he started making up fake stories, as Joe Biden often does.
Joe Biden says he used to "drive an 18-wheeler."

“Death to America!” We are used to that chant. Maybe too used to it.
If you are old enough, you heard it in 1979 during the Iranian hostage crisis when supporters of Ayatollah Khomeini invaded the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
Since then, it has been a recurring theme of Islamic fundamentalism, along with “Death to Israel.” Khomeini even went so far as to declare the United States “The Great Satan” in order to goad Muslims into a religious fervor aimed at destroying America.
Since then, we have heard “Death to America” shouted thousands of times around the globe ..read more

Hillary Clinton made shocking statements during a recent podcast in which she appeared to suggest that former President Donald Trump would like to “kill his opposition.”
The former First Lady made that declaration during a conversation with Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias. She believes Trump will model his presidency after that of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do,” she claimed. “Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balan ..read more

Representative Ilhan Omar’s daughter was arrested on Thursday alongside a 108-strong anti-Israel mob as the NYPD dismantled a protest encampment at Columbia University.
The incident occurred just hours after the Squad member’s wayward child was suspended from Barnard College for her role in the protest.
The Daily Mail reports that Isra Hirsi had “a worried face” as she was placed in “flex cuffs” alongside many other sit-in pro-Palestine protesters.
The protesters were issued a summons for trespassing and released, according to the NYPD.
It felt really really horrific to be standing by and wa ..read more

The International Monetary Fund warned the United States that government spending and increasing national debt are not sustainable and could hurt the global economy.
The Washington, D.C.-based group that represents 190 member countries also called the U.S. economy “overheated.” The debt warning follows several other high-profile calls to address growing U.S. debt.
“Amid mounting debt, now is the time to bring back sustainable public finances,” according to the latest IMF Fiscal Monitor report.
In its latest World Economic Outlook, the IMF w ..read more

House Speaker Mike Johnson is forging ahead with a House vote this weekend to send tens of billions overseas.
The $95 billion bill provides aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other American allies. Johnson (R-LA) posted on X that the bill would be broken up into separate votes.
“The text of three bills that will fund America’s national security interests and allies in Israel, the Indo-Pacific, and Ukraine,” Johnson reportedly texted to other House members.
A fourth vote will consider making Ukraine aid a loan, a potential nationwide ban on TikTok, new sanctions on Iran, and a measure allowing ..read more

Most conservative Republicans are very much against the over $60 billion in new Ukraine aid that the GOP and Democratic establishments desperately want. Especially considering the billions America has already spent there.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has a great idea: House members who insist on voting for this aid can also go over there and fight in the Ukrainian military.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced an amendment requiring members to “conscript in the Ukrainian military” if they vote for the Ukraine supplemental bill. pic.twitter.com/n0SykKpA3I

MSNBC host Joy Reid could hardly contain her excitement over the fact that several “DEI officials” are behind the prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
The acronym DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Critics of such policies suggest it is outright racism, using skin color or other demographics in hiring practices. In other words, affirmative action. Something the Supreme Court recently ended for college admissions.
Reid, in a segment with fellow host Lawrence O’Donnell, says black attorneys going after Trump is “wonderfully poetic.”
“But for me, there is something wonderfu ..read more

Many conservatives for many years have wanted to end the government funding of National Public Radio.
Recently resurfaced tweets from NPR CEO Katherine Maher combined with the suspension of an NPR editor after he called out the outlet’s leftwing bias has renewed the idea that maybe taxpayers shouldn’t be funding it anymore.
