U.S. To Give Ukraine ‘Everything It Needs for as Long as It Takes,’ Biden National Security Adviser Says (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A top Biden administration official on Sunday said the United States would continue to send Ukraine aid and weapons “as long as it takes” for the war with Russia to come to an end.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan made the comments on ABC News’s “This Week” with host George Stephanopoulos, saying that the American people have really “hung in there” in terms of being supportive of the aid. Sullivan noted that, despite some Republicans in Congress expressing their discontent with continued assistance, high-ranking Republicans such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have continued to support it.

“I actually think there is a strong backing for Ukraine in the Congress, not just among Democrats, but among Republicans as well,” Sullivan said. “Therefore, we believe that we can back up the statement that we will give Ukraine everything it needs for as long as it takes.”

Asked by Stephanopoulos whether he was worried about the support of the American people as the war continues to drag on, Sullivan said opinion polls today show Americans are largely supportive of aid to Ukraine.

“If you look at the Republican Party, there is a small cadre of Republicans who stand up and say, ‘we should stop helping Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression,’” Sullivan told the host. Despite this, the national security adviser pointed to McConnell and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) co-signing a statement expressing their continued support for assistance to Ukraine.

Kamala Harris Declares U.S. Must ‘Reduce Population’ to Combat Climate Change in Yet Another Gaffe

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris made yet another gaffe during a speech about green energy on Friday. In Kamala’s latest slip-up, she accidentally said the United States needs to “reduce population” in order to combat climate change.

Harris gave a speech about “building a clean energy economy” at Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland.

Harris touted President Joe Biden’s “ambitious goal” of reducing America’s greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and having the U.S. economy reach net zero emissions by no later than 2050 — with or without approval from Congress.

She argued that the “climate crisis” is “one of the most urgent matters of our time,” adding that we “must act” because “it is clear that the clock is not only ticking, it is banging.

Harris told the audience, “When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.”

Trump: I’ll Give Ukraine ‘More’ Weapons ‘Than They Ever Got’ If Putin Does Not End War (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said during an interview over the weekend that his plan to end the war in Ukraine in just 1 day involves threatening to give Ukraine “more” weapons “than they ever got” if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not bring the war to an end.

Trump made the remarks during an interview Sunday morning with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Bartiromo asked Trump to give details about how he would allegedly end Russia’s war in Ukraine in just 24 hours.

Trump started by praising Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as being “very honorable” because “when they asked him about the perfect phone call that I made, he said it was indeed, he said it was, he didn’t even know what they were talking about. He could have grandstanded —” . . .

“I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship, very good, with both of them. I would tell Zelensky, no more. You got to make a deal. I would tell Putin, if you don’t make a deal, we’re going to give him a lot. We’re going to them more than they ever got if we have to. I will have the deal done in one day. One day.”

The Deserved Suffering of the Regime Media Hack

/0 Comments/in , /by

Imagine, if you dare, that you are a regime media reporter. It’s a horrible thought, I will grant you, but consider this part of understanding your enemy so that down the road you can defeat him. So, put yourself in their cheap suits and bad shoes and think about your position in the universe. Right now, entirely as a result of their own choices, regime journalists are about as respected as groin fungus, and their career prospects in this ever-changing media marketplace are significantly worse.

And at some level, the smarter ones understand that. Try hard to consider what some of them probably feel inside. Not all of them. Some are mindless, Marxist robots, but there are some who have a glimmer of understanding of what they truly are. Sure, they can tell themselves the lie that they are the good guys, or girls, or non-binary individuals, but the ones who are not totally gone know the truth.

Regime media journalists are trash.

Many of them live in denial, but they understand the reality. They see the lies they are part of, and they know the truth.

You know, if you grew up, thinking about “All the President’s Men” and Watergate and bringing down Nixon and that whole largely-bogus myth, you probably thought that as a young journalist you were entering into a field where you could crusade for truth and justice. You were going to find the truth, dammit, and tell it to the people because that’s what the Fourth Estate did. You despised the spinners, flacks, and spokesholes who tried to lie to you and throw you off the story. (Read more from “The Deserved Suffering of the Regime Media Hack” HERE)

Epstein ‘Pedophile Island’ Guest Donates Nearly $700K to Biden Campaign Fund

/0 Comments/in , /by

A joint fundraising committee raising dollars for President Biden’s re-election effort received a large donation from a tech billionaire revealed to have once traveled to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean.

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman dumped $699,600 into the Biden Victory Fund war chest, a joint fundraising committee authorized by the Biden campaign, in April, federal election records show.

The donation came one week before The Wall Street Journal reported Hoffman had visited the late serial sexual predator’s US Virgin Islands compound in 2014.

The close timing of the donation and the article was first reported by Fox News on Sunday.

Hoffman, 55, had reportedly planned on returning to the island with Epstein later in 2014 before traveling to Boston to raise funds for MIT on behalf of fellow island trip attendee Joi Ito, a then-media lab director at the institute.

Many in the 2024 GOP Field Didn’t Fare Well Against the ‘Tucker Stress Test’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tucker Carlson hosted a candidate forum at the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa, on July 14. Politico described it as the “Tucker stress test,” and many 2024 GOP candidates failed. The former Fox News host outright brutalized them. You could argue that Mr. Carlson was the grim reaper to many candidacies this week.

On the other hand, some folks, like Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, and Mike Pence, didn’t have a shot at winning the nomination anyway. Asa Hutchinson got cornered on transgender issues, which the former Arkansas governor felt wasn’t significant. Carlson reminded him that it’s one of the top cultural debates today.

Chris Christie did not attend but sealed his fate when he defended FBI Director Chris Wray this week. Trump couldn’t attend due to a scheduling conflict. But we know this is his race to lose. DeSantis is the only person who could overtake the former president, but his campaign has been in a neutral position for weeks.

Trump: First Term ‘Mistake’ Was Some of the People I Picked for My Cabinet

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said on this week’s broadcast of “Sunday Morning Futures” that the only mistake he made during his time in office was some of the people he picked to serve in his cabinet.

Anchor Maria Bartiromo asked, “Is there is anything you could look back on in 16 that you think maybe you want to do differently?”

Trump said, “The mistake would be people. I mean, I wouldn’t have put a guy like Bill Barr, and he was weak and pathetic. I wouldn’t have put Jeff Sessions. And there are some people that I wouldn’t have put in. You know, most people were good, but I had some people, we had Esper. I didn’t like him. He was incompetent. I thought we had other people I didn’t like.”

Bartiromo asked, “Why did you put them in the job then?” . . .

He added, “All of a sudden, I’m the president of the United States, and it’s like a different society. I was New York, and, you know, it was a different thing. So I didn’t know people. I became president. I’m riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady. I had 250 motorcycles. I had armies. I had everything. I said, do you believe it? We’re president. Take a look. This is wild, right? But I never was involved in that.” (Read more from “Trump: First Term ‘Mistake’ Was Some of the People I Picked for My Cabinet” HERE)

Donald Trump Dominates Turning Point Action’s GOP Primary Straw Poll at 87.5%

/0 Comments/in , /by

Attendees at a major conservative conference over the weekend overwhelmingly voted for former President Donald Trump in a Republican presidential primary straw poll.

According to the Trafalgar Group poll, attendees at the Turning Point Action Conference in West Palm Beach, Florida, chose Trump at 87.5% among Republican candidates and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at only 4.3%.

DeSantis actually came in third behind businessman Perry Johnson, who garnered 7.8%, despite the conference happening in the governor’s state.

About 3,000 attendees responded to the poll, half of the approximate 6,000 total attendees. Half of the attendees were between the ages of 18-21, while the other half were of varying ages.

Trump attended the event on Saturday, delivering a lengthy speech that covered a number of different topics. Meanwhile, DeSantis did not attend the event in his home state. (Read more from “Donald Trump Dominates Turning Point Action’s GOP Primary Straw Poll at 87.5%” HERE)

Things Get HEATED as Tucker and Pence Clash Over Ukraine; Former Governor Spars With Tucker Carlson Over Child Gender Transitions

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Although Mike Pence pledges to be a Christian leader, he sure has a strange way of showing it when it comes to the treatment of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine.

Tucker Carlson pointed out that “the Zelenskyy government has raided convents, arrested priests, has effectively banned a denomination — a Christian denomination.”

Pence recently met with Zelenskyy, which begs the question — did he address this issue in their meeting?

“I’m wondering,” Tucker said, “if during that meeting, as a prominent Christian leader … you broached the question of his treatment of Christians within Ukraine.”

“I did raise the issue when we were there … with the leader of the Orthodox Church,” Pence responded. “He assured me that the Zelenskyy government in Ukraine was respecting religious liberty,” he continued.

Frustrated Ex-Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson Spars With Tucker Carlson Over Child Gender Transitions at Iowa Forum

By New York Post. Former Arkansas governor and 2024 presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson got a rough ride at an Iowa forum Friday while trying to defend his veto of a ban on gender procedures for minors, at one point asking forum moderator Tucker Carlson to change the subject.

The former Fox News host questioned Hutchinson during the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines about his 2021 rejection of a bill that barred hormone therapy, puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgeries for minors, which state lawmakers immediately overrode.

“What I believe in is that parents ought to raise their children. I believe that parents ought to be in control. And I also believe in the Constitution,” Hutchinson told Carlson. “I believe that God created two genders, and that there should not be any confusion on your gender. But if there is confusion, then parents ought to be the one that guides the children. That to me is an important fundamental principle.”

“Now obviously, you could take it too far,” the former governor went on. “And if there would have been a bill that said, ‘You should not ever have transgender surgery as a minor,’ I would sign that … because no parent should be able to consent to that permanent change.” . . .

“In the subsequent two years, I think we’ve learned that hormone therapy for prepubescent children is permanent,” Carlson said. “It changes the bone structure. It changes the brain of the child. A lot of people believe, including me, that it destroys the child’s life. But it is permanent. It’s not reversible.” (Read more from “Frustrated Ex-Arkansas Gov.

Why Is the FBI Helping Ukraine Shut Up Americans?

/0 Comments/in , /by

I’ve had the unpleasant duty to remind people that the rhetoric about the Ukraine war as one between a free people living in a liberal democracy versus an autocracy is not really true. Ukraine has been embarked on an ultranationalist cultural project meant to transform the internal politics of Ukraine. It is doing so for reasons I find perfectly legible and, in some ways, understandable. But it is not a liberal or democratic undertaking. It is more like a combination of civil war and radical reconstruction.

Ukrainian nationalists want to reorient Ukraine to Western Europe, and to do so they are pursuing a project of cutting up the cultural and political ropes that keep them tied to Russia. This was the whole subject of Putin’s essay on Ukraine’s unity with Russia. While it was popularly portrayed as denying a Ukrainian identity at all, the essay argues that Ukraine can’t have an authentic identity that is also anti-Russian, given their shared historic, linguistic, and religious patrimony. . .

Ukraine began banning political parties in 2014, starting with the Communist Party. It then banned the Party of the Regions, the party that typically won most of its support from Ukraine’s eastern region, where Russians settled during the Soviet era. It has banned almost all successor parties to the Party of the Regions. It has passed a series of harsh language laws that require Ukrainian competency to hold office or to be appointed to civic positions. It banned opposition media. It banned Russian-language schooling. More recently it has banned the importation of more than a handful of Russian-language books. . .

But it wouldn’t be my business except for the fact that our assistance to Ukraine goes beyond military aid and includes paying for this kind of illiberal government. And now, I find out that our FBI is assisting Ukraine’s security service in censoring American citizens expressing their political views on American-founded tech platforms. Don’t tell me we’re not at war while treating my morning news reading to a foreign government’s wartime censorship. . .

I’ve long worried that getting deeply enmeshed in this blood-soaked area of the globe would begin to corrupt our politics, that it would tend to make our Congress more and more resemble their Rada. Hunter Biden was just the beginning of it. I would just like for one of these chest-pounding defenders of the liberal world order stand up for liberal institutions and liberal conversation for once.
