GOP senator says Republicans won’t budge on Ukraine without border action

Of course, they will fold on the border…as they have so often in the past. It is what the GOP does, really.

But the issue of any further aid to Ukraine should be off the table entirely. None, zero, nada. No more aid. They have spent all the money we gave them…..in ways that are, apparently, unaccountable. No one really knows where the money went. They are, at best, an ally of the US……maybe. The trickle of aid from other countries, tokens at best, show what the rest of Europe thinks of their plight.  The fact that Ukraine blew through over a  a Hundred Billion Dollars in less than a year tells me that the money isn’t going to fight the war, at least not most of it.

Is it going to the pockets of other people? I suspect so, but have no idea, really.

But now they want more, Biden and Zelensky are asking for another 61 Billion dollars. For what? Where will this money go? Who will receive the money and what will it buy (besides a few senators and their families, perhaps? )

I agree with the idea of Not one DIme for Ukraine until the border is secured and the invasion via the South is stopped….. as a lever….but start at Not one Thin Dime for Ukraine at all. Not another cent for them until the monies already given are accounted for….and then still no more money. Stop ALL foreign aid until the border is secure….including aid to Israel. Let THAT be the lever for border security for the US….BUt NO MORE AID TO UKRAINE.

If there is anything that goes against the concept of a free citizen in America, Civil Asset Forfeiture is one of those things.

I urge you to contact your representatives and tell them to get behind  this bill:

H.R.1525 – FAIR Act of 2023

This time, it has a chance of getting out of committee for a vote. Let’s make sure that that happens.

You may or may not know that many people lose millions over 1.3 Billion dollars every year to “Civil Asset Forfeiture”, where federal or other law enforcement searched a person for some reason (say, a traffic stop, or at an airport) and finds a sum of cash on your person or otherwise in your possession. In many instances, they assume it is money from the proceeds of a crime (without any evidence to sustain that “suspicion”) and confiscate it….without charging the person with a crime…..In other words, the law enforcement personnel steal the money and force you to sue them to get it back, often with help from federal prosecutors. You get fined without the benefit of a hearing before a judge or a jury of your peers. (Seems unconstitutional and illegal, right?)

Now, you gotta realize that the whole concept of “Innocent until proven guilty” goes out the window in such instances….They DO NOT charge the individual with a crime, they simply take the money (because if you weren’t up to no good why would you carry $10,000 or more in CASH?) and let you sue them to recover it….You have to prove that YOUR money is Yours, and was obtained or earned legally…without any proof to the contrary. The officer gets to judge.  Despite the fact that carrying cash inside the borders of the United States in not illegal, the presumption is that if you are carrying a sum of cash that the officer finds to be “suspicious” then he has the right to confiscate it, even with no proof that a crime has been committed (or will be committed).

This bill would make such confiscation without proof (or reasonable articulable suspicion) illegal.

Please, email, call, write, telegram, whatever but get your US representative to get behind this and make sure it gets out of committee and goes to the floor for a vote.

If you think this is bullshit and doesn’t happen, do a Google search for civil Asset Forfeiture and see. It is government sanctioned theft.

Feel free to repost to Boost the Signal on this.

Much like the schoolyard bully, cannot really do much against targets that have the capability, equipment, and training to fight back, or even pursue them….

It’s easy to terrorize unarmed civilians, be they residents of Gaza (there is no such thing as a “Palestinian”) or unarmed Israelis. It appears that when faced with real soldiers the Hamas folks fold like straw men.

Apparently they are getting their asses kicked on their own turf….But that’s Syrians (Which is the stock from whence came “Palestinians”) in general….all bluster when they hold the upper hand, but they fold quickly when pressed.

And so many folks said we were “Conspiracy Theorists”…labeled us as crazy and paranoid when we said that there was a bunch of “Experts” saying what they were supposed to say….when we said that they were lying.

But now?

BIDEN’S ex-Covid advisor admits pandemic may have been caused by a Wuhan lab leak

But those of us who suggested that were Xenophobic and biased against the Chinese when we suggested that maybe (just maybe) the Chinese might be lying about where the Covid came from….(Hint: T’wasn’t bats from a hundred miles away sold in a “Wet Market” just blocks from the lab…)

Anyone who spread Fauchi’s lies (and those of the governments, both Chinese and the US) should be jailed…They lied to the American People, likely for gain. Helped spread the disease by not shutting the borders, stopping air travel, by aiding and abetting the spread of the disease.

And slowly, a trickle at a time, the truth is coming out.

The Israeli Government knew of the attack BEFORE it occurred on Oct 7th, 

They had at least 12 hours warning.

And they chose to do NOTHING.

Again. Israeli government officials knew of the attack preparations at least 12 hours before it happened.

The deaths of the civilians, all those babies and children, are on them as much as on Hamas.

I guess they needed the excuse to start the invasion of Gaza.

I said then that there was something fishy…that it was odd that the intelligence people had no clue what was coming….now we know

I mean, I suspect that the whole George Floyd thing was a put up just to rile up the black people before the election….

And this makes me think that even more. I expect that officer Chauvin will get released early due to his injuries…….

Chauvin stabber was an FBI informant

Odd coincidence, doncha think?

82 years ago, the Japanese Navy attacked the fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Never forget that.

While there may or may not have been foreknowledge by the US government, there was no formal declaration of War by the Japanese.

And the Fleet at Pear Harbor was at peacetime status.

The surprise was total, the devastation…devastating.

Yet today we are peaceful partners in commerce.

Of course, it was the Japanese that changed their way of life to accommodate the rest of the world, especially the West and Europe.

But never, ever forget.

The News Media is showing the worst parts of the DNC debates….the least good parts of every candidate attendee….

But no one points out that there has been no debate on the DNC side….’Cause Biden could not handle one. .
