President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy engaged in the prerequisite dog and pony show Tuesday on Capital Hill, all part of the White House strategy to appeal to the American people to continue supporting the financial backing of the Ukraine war effort against Russia — which is up to $75 billion and counting.
The 81-year-old U.S. president got a bit cranky with reporters as his Oval Office meeting with Zelenskyy was coming to an end after they began calling out questions like the pack of jackals they are.
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, hush up a second, okay,” the geriatric president demanded.
“I got one more thing to say,” Biden continued. “I just signed another $200 million draw down from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. That will be coming quickly. Thank you.”

Zelenskyy’s visit to America comes as Republicans call on Biden to address the broken southern border before they entertain more funding for Ukraine — the public relations campaign appears to be designed to pressure the GOP to live up to its creed and eventually cave on its justified stance. After all, 8 million illegal immigrants have entered the U.S. in just three years under Biden.
Speaker Mike Johnson made it clear Tuesday that the White House needs to articulate its strategy on the Ukraine war.
“I have asked the White House since the day that I was handed the gavel as speaker for clarity,” he said. “We need clear articulation of the strategy to allow Ukraine to win. Thus far, their responses have been insufficient.”

Did you hear what he said ? He is drawing funds from our National defense and giving it to Ukraine. He is weakening our defenses

Right? Of course he did! I guessed 100 million. 200 million. Who cares. Whats the difference? We’re broke and he’s a treasonous dictator.

I guess the people have no say in how our money is used…
