BREAKING: Russia might be devastated! It looks like Europe is stepping up in a major way, potentially committing $732 billion in additional aid to Ukraine—nearly 2.5 times the total global support Ukraine has received since the war began.

If this happens, it would deal a crippling blow to Russia’s war efforts, significantly strengthening Ukraine’s defenses. Unlike Trump, who appears eager to accommodate Putin, European leaders recognize the stakes and are standing firmly for democracy and sovereignty.

@EdKrassen He sure did. And I hope people are listening.

BREAKING: Trump's former VP Mike Pence just called Trump out for his pro-Putin propaganda, saying:

"Mr. President, Ukraine did not 'start' this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth."

More Republicans need to call Trump out for his lies, propaganda, and love affair with Putin. What does Putin have on him?

Wouldn’t that be great…seeing children clothed, fed, a roof over their head and an education.

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett torched MAGA Reps like James Comer and Gym Jordan pushing lies about the Bidens:

"How did not a single House Republican or their staff catch the significant inconsistencies and lies within Mr. Smirnov's story in nearly two years of congressional investigations?"

Methinks because they're lying clowns.

You wanna hear a little story of how it all began? Once upon a time, there was a man named Ronald Reagan. He was known as the "Great Communicator" because he was good at spinning words.

He was a failing actor who decided to run for president. His campaign slogan in 1980 was "Let's Make America Great Again" and he won. Yeah, it was Reagan first.

Before Reagan was elected, the very wealthy paid 70% in taxes. He was so good at spinning words that he convinced the poor people of America that the rich needed to pay less in taxes. So he lowered it to 28%. He said this would create more jobs and opportunities for the poor - "Trickle Down."

Upon seeing his blunder in loss of tax revenues, in 1984, he decided to tax social security to make up some of the lossed tax revenue.

He wanted to end welfare and Medicare, saying, "Let's send those bums back to work (meaning blacks)." Americans (many) were like, hell yeah, I'm cool with that!!!

But, "Reaganomics" never worked. It didn't work then, and it doesn't work today. Oh, I forgot to mention how much he hated Unions and dismantled many of them.

His biggest achievement was separating the races and convincing poor people that the rich needed more. End of story?

Just a heads up for those of you telling me to “cry harder” right now…

When your special needs child can’t get the services they need because the school cut the program, and your other child who is lucky enough to be able to travel the 25 miles to the closest school gets measles, and your wife ends up with cervical cancer because she couldn’t get regular screenings, and your elderly mom passes away because she couldn’t afford her insulin, and the hazardous chemical factory job where you work 60 hours a week but only get paid for 40, doesn’t provide healthcare, and you can’t take a day off to deal with that lingering cough of yours, and the medical bills wipe out your life savings, and the bank takes your home and you end up on the street, I won’t tell you to “cry harder.”

Because I’ll be too busy reminding you that eggs never got any cheaper.
