Wow almost like, withdrawing from the JCPOA was a bad idea
make no mistake if the Communist had gotten increased funding for so-called border security they would have just used it to enable bringing more criminal Invaders across the border it's what communists do they subvert society and twist the law
Taiwan -- so much 'governmentese'; they are still trying to weed out "white supremacists" and "systemic racism" and increase promotions of 'underserved' communities. No one in 'Today's Inaction Military' signed up to fight; they signed up to 'go to college'.🤣🤷♂️🤪
"Peace Summit in Switzerland" == WEF 'Lite'. Total BS, but a swimmingly good time was had by all. 👽🤖
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.🤮🤖
