House Speaker Mike Johnson has the fate of a democracy and a people in his hands.

Obama, or whoever else is the puppet master running the Bidet Regime, has the power to close the Southern Border. It's not being done and we are being invaded on a daily basis.

They'll never close the border. They don't care that Ukraine will get conquered by Russia. Honestly, I think Mike Johnson needs to shut down the government until November. Many of the programs will be shut down by March 9. Mike Johnson just needs to say the border is being invaded and he'll send everyone home in recess in the meantime.

CNN will cover for Joe Biden. But he'll get criticized on social media. So that's probably the best play right here. But Mike Johnson does not have the guts to do it. So he'll cave in. Joe Biden will get everything he wants.

He will let it go. I don’t have the ability to say otherwise, I am just a US taxpayer.

Secure our border and then we can talk about other countries.

What Johnson needs to do now is schedule a series of important votes on new libraries named after exceptional Americans across the United States.

Our children were deprived of education for two years during the pandemic and new libraries is just the ticket.

Some of the exceptional Americans like Robert E. Lee might be controversial and could lead to long arguments and even filibusters, but that's as it should be.

Important legislation requires time and attention.

IT IS TIME FOR GOV. ABBOTT TO SEND ILLEGALS INTO AFLUIANT SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES.

Ukraine ping

The hyperventilating is off the charts. Europe has an economy 10x Russia’s. It has plenty of reserve capacity to supply Ukraine without a single dollar from DC. Like Biden, Europe is merely choosing to send most of its aid in the form of non-military goods.

Now, Ukraine should have stepped up, substituted its own military production for the shells and bullets the West failed to supply - simple things that were perfected a century ago. For some reason, Zelensky has failed to make this a priority, despite foreign aid supplying an amount greater than Ukraine’s prewar economy.

Some have likened Zelensky to Churchill. He’s not. Churchill got the UK’s resources focused on a single objective - beating Germany. He did many unpopular things that caused significant hardship, from rationing to a universal draft, that caused his party to lose its first - postponed until war’s end - postwar election. To date, under 27s are exempt from the Ukrainian draft, which has been limited even within the age ranges affected. And nothing like the kind of forcible redirection of the civilian economy towards the war effort has occurred. While displaying uncommon courage in choosing to stay and fight, and real talent in making the case for supporting Ukraine to foreign donors, Zelensky has fallen down on the nuts and bolts of managing the war effort.

Another reason to shut the government down is that they are using federal money to secretly fund getting the illegals here through NGOs. Shutting the federal government down is the best thing to do to keep the money from being siphoned off for the wrong purposes. No money for the USPS will make it harder to use it for fraudulent mail-in ballots.

The Ukrainians are the ones who are choosing to fight for their independence and we should support them.

It is time for you to wake up! Ukrainian men have absolutely no choice in this matter... they allow themselves to become cannon fodder by their US backed leaders or they are killed by their own government. The young men have either found some way to get away or they are already dead. This is why the average age of a Ukrainian soldier is now 43. This is a crime against the Ukrainian people.

I feel for the Ukrainian people.

But sending money to Zelensky won’t help them. It will help the Democrats and RINOs line their pockets.

Why doesn’t Ukraine get free bullet from another country other than the US?

At least he hasn’t folded like some cheap suit. He’s representing the American people not the military industrial complex.
