I’ve been critical of him in the past, but I think it’s proper to state here, for the record, he did the right thing regarding Ukraine aid.

In addition to other considerations that have been reported, such as intelligence briefings that Johnson got as Speaker, his deep Christian faith helped him reach this decision.

Senator McConnell explains why it’s taken so long to pass the same foreign aid bill that was introduced last year.



I knew most of this story. I’m surprised that Tucker Carlson still has so much influence, even after his ouster from Fox News.

The reason Democrats will probably vote, if necessary, against a motion to vacate is that (as far as I know) once Speaker Johnson gives his word, he can be relied upon to keep it, so as long as he's willing to deal with Democrats in good faith, he's acceptable.

Find any of those videos yet that I supposedly posted here showing that the "Ukrainians were all Queers?"

When I first saw the title of the thread-I figured that you were up to your old stunt from the initial Israel/Hamas thread and doing something like the "Jim Jordan/Pedophilia" Thing whatever the heck that was.

Biden’s remarks after signing the foreign aid bill:



Though he’s never an eloquent speaker, he forcefully explains how this bill strengthens our security.

At 8:30 he chides Congress for not strengthening the border as well. Surprising considering the years of criticism he has endured on this issue.

Then you were wrong - as usual.
