Suggest you look BACK at all the 'promises' made and broken by previous administrations in regards to Ukraine/NATO. The 'color revolution' that installed Zelenski, and the money laundering going on to the benefit of US and OTHER world/European politicians. Can you say "Hello, SBF and FTX Crypto"?
Way to go Biden and the Democrat Party. Surprised they don't chant 'Kill the Boer'; 'Kill the Farmer'.
Sen. John McCain warned us about Tony Blinken. Events have proven McCain to be correct. The entire Biden Admin is full of 'idiots in high places'.😁
Unchecked immigration and Green Energy-- the TWO biggest scams of the 21st century. People better wake up and throw the Progressive/Communist/Leftists OUT!! Before they start stealing elections.👏👽
I can't blame Putin. We, the US, resigned on the promise to Russia, to NOT expand NATO to the east. NATO is/has become a 'backdoor' for US military action WITHOUT Congressional approval. Just like the 'Gulf of Tonkin' incident that NEVER HAPPENED, allowed LBJ to send US troops to Viet Nam. Fighting Russians won't be like Viet Nam; it will be WW2 level of casualties-- hundreds of thousands.
What about the American hostages?
newer listeners love the pod cast.seen u on gutfeld
Can't wait to hear the 'spin' when US body bags start coming back from Ukraine. Keep voting DEMOCRAT to save 'other country's DEMOCRACY'; and secure THEIR borders. 👎🤬
Recognizing terrorists? Nice move
Who will help when our military runs out of ammo?
The 35% are the HARD CORE American, let me say again, Americans, who HATE the country; who believe the country's founding was unjust, and are RABID Socialists or Communists. Talk about indoctrinated🤯🤖
My opinion, is that Blinken & Company, to help the 2024 election, will do their best to thwart Israeli efforts. Hamas must be defeated in detail. The Democrat Party will do ANYTHING to keep power!!👽🤖
Mayor Adams is an idiot. If the "demonstrators" would carry photo placards of George Floyd, wonder how many NYC residents would join in? You think DA Bragg is gonna prosecute any of these "students"? I hear Mayor Adams has a bridge for sale, too.🤣
Well, Mr. Wray, just what are YOU doing about it? Sounds to me like you are in CYA mode.
God already made it a one-state solution
A special "Thanx" to the Biden Admin, and Anthony Blinking and his 'foreign policy geniuses' for the BILLIONS in funds released to Iran so they can carry on their 'Death to Israel'; Death to America' PEACE efforts.🤮🤖
"Democracy" that is promoted by the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, AOC, Joe Biden, and the rest of the leftist corrupt, political "celebrities" is NOT something that has your best interest in mind. Their SOLE objectives are 1. Power, and 2. Your money.🤖
FISA was abused. CIA and others are corrupt. Maybe the 'Intel Community's should say ' We're sorry; it won't happen again' (🤞); only 'former CIA' would believe that. I'm all for letting it expire; other than spying on Trump and OTHERS in his circle, how has it helped...hmmm.?🤔 Asking for a friend.🤠
The Fed Govt has already shown it will abuse FISA. This should not be allowed. it WILL BE. abused. Trust Me👽👻
Since when are the DEMOCRATS going to do ANYTHING about border security? Biden OPENED the border with the stroke of his pen; he can CLOSE the border with a stroke of his pen. All you ILLEGALS, don't forget to register to vote to keep the 'free sheet' coming your way.👍👽🤖
