Pentagon reveals total cost of aid to Ukraine — $182.99 billion

The US Congress has allocated $182.99 billion to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s military operation in February 2022, according to a report from the Pentagon’s Inspector General released on Thursday.

Of the total amount, around $131.36 billion has been directed towards security-related activities. This includes $46.51 billion earmarked for an increased US military presence in Europe and $45.78 billion for replacing weaponry supplied to Ukraine. In addition, $43.84 billion has been allocated for governance programs, which include salaries for Ukrainian public servants, while $4.08 billion has been designated for humanitarian assistance.

The US has provided a range of military equipment to Ukraine, including vehicles, ammunition, weapons, artillery, and demolition equipment. The aid packages have specifically included Bradley fighting vehicles, which Ukrainian troops have come to prefer over Abrams tanks due to their speed and agility on the battlefield, the report says, adding that American maintenance experts continue to offer remote support for this equipment through secure communication channels.

Douglas Macgregor: Looking at Trump’s Cabinet Picks – Not Sure about his Foreign Policy Vision

UPDATE: Macgregor describes Trump’s cabinet nominees as: ‘Elite capture. There is nothing more reliable than a man who can be bought for cold, hard cash. All of these people have been bought and paid for. There have been investments for twenty years, ranging into 100s of millions maybe billions of dollars by Israel and its agents in the United States to drive us into war against Iran. Now, they are positioned to finally get what they want’. ABN

UPDATE: Maybe I am clutching at straws, but it could also be that Trump’s many pro-Israel nominees are also the best people to say no to Netanyahu, no to war with Iran. ABN

Government funded NGOs contradict the definition of an NGO and have been a source of major corruption — Ashley St. Clair

It is critically important to defund + investigate the NGOs who facilitated the migrant crisis with billions of federal taxpayer dollars.

Corrupt federal officials have quite literally been the architects of an incentive structure in which taxpayers pay them billions of dollars to destroy our nation.

This is why Democrats attempted to hide a $1.4 BILLION allocation just for NGOs in their disastrous border bill. That allocation was set to be disbursed by FEMA to the NGOs if certain metrics were hit such as detention beds being filled.

In other words, all the NGOs had to do to unlock another $1.4 billion is get more people to come here illegally.

Officials such as Mayorkas have been using these organizations such as HAIS for far too long to launder money and rip the fabric of America.

Defund and investigate every last NGO who received any federal funding above $10 million during the Biden-Harris Administration. A lot of people have made a lot of money off of this crisis and it’s time for transparency.

Most of these NGOs facilitating the migrant crisis have no business being called NGOs when their primary source of funding is from the government while also doing operations on behalf of the government!

Members of Congress have taken hundreds of AIPAC-funded trips to Israel in the past decade

While AIPAC is well known for sponsoring trips for lawmakers and aides to Israel in an effort to build support for the Jewish state, the full extent of that travel has not been clear until now.

A new analysis of thousands of records shows that, thanks largely to AIPAC’s nonprofit arm, Israel is far and away the No. 1 destination for privately sponsored foreign travel by members of the House and their aides.

More than a quarter of the roughly 4,100 privately sponsored foreign trips they have reported taking since 2012 were for travel to Israel, according to a study by the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the University of Maryland, which is publishing its findings in partnership with POLITICO.

That’s more trips to Israel than to the entire Western Hemisphere and the continent of Africa combined.

The essence of mind-control is inducing a trance state. Going to Israel on their dime and being ushered around by skilled hypnotists (that’s what this is) ensures a trance state. For readers unfamiliar with this idea, notice how hypnotic it is to go to a doctor or hospital. Medical facilities reek of collective hypnotic trance. This trance is induced in medical schools, from which only the trance-susceptible will graduate. It affects doctors, nurses, receptionists and patients. Nurses tend to be less lulled by the medical trance because they can leave and find work elsewhere, whereas doctors may lose their license if they speak against the covid vax. I mention the hospital example not to detract from what Israel has done to Congress but to provide a common example of how large groups can be be profoundly entranced. Another example is college and university departments, nearly all of which are liberal and donate proportionately almost exclusively to Democrats. This does not happen by accident and is decidedly not because academics are smarter than others. It is because people with some higher cognitive training (but not quite enough) tend to become deeply entranced by the mores and strictures of their fields of study and those who teach them. Math, some hard sciences and engineering are somewhat less likely to have this problem because of objective rigor and subject matter less conducive to hypnosis. Once instilled, a trance state will be passed down from one generation to the next, often causing one generation after another to become weaker, less thoughtful, and even more entranced. It’s not hard to see this if you know what to look for. ABN

BREAKING: Colorado voting machine passwords LEAKED online by the Democrat Secretary of State

Specifically, over 600 passwords for machines in 63 of the state’s 64 counties were posted for anyone to see

“BIOS passwords are highly confidential, allowing broad access for knowledgeable users to fundamentally manipulate systems and data and to remove any trace of doing so. Due to the sensitivity surrounding BIOS passwords, Colorado election regulation (8 CCR 1505-1), Rule 20.5.2(c)(11), requires limited access to a select few at the Colorado Department of State; neither county clerks nor commissioners have access to these files.” – @cologop

Someone signed an affidavit swearing under the penalty of perjury that they downloaded the file from Jenna Griswold’s website and discovered the hidden tab by simply clicking “unhide.”

Hey, Secretary of Fraud @JenaGriswold, how about you start upholding election laws instead of spending all your time gaslighting the rest of us about how safe and secure our elections are? We The Voters of this state would really appreciate it. Exactly one week from now, we will finally vote to restore Trump back to the White House to bring these crooks to justice.
