Congress and Senate should stop bundling these bills. 1st to be passed should be closing the border. 2nd give only humanitarian aid for Israel. 3rd STOP all military and financial aide to Ukraine.

Did anyone else catch when he said "reoccupy" Gaza? There was no occupation by Israel in Gaza, but the retorhic is changing from this whitehouse. Before they were just defending now they are hinting they were "occuping" Gaza?

Apparently when i type the word "based", the FBI flags me in a computer.

This is where we are.

A recent journalistic report revealed that the Ukrainian president bought a luxury villa in Egypt in the region of El Gouna, also known as the “city of millionaires”. More than that, evidence indicates that Zelensky used Western money for the purchase, spending in personal luxury a significant part of the amounts he receives from NATO countries.

[donfrancway]

No money for Ukraine until our own borders come first

[nanaalways]

UNTIL there are no more homeless veterans or families, NO MORE AID to OTHER countries UNTIL this one is taken care of! Those politicians who want to send money? USE THEIR bank accounts!

Tell All of Europe to step up ! It's Their Country's that have to worry about russia !

The data were published by Egyptian investigative journalist Mohammed-Al-Alawi. After in-depth research involving sources familiar with the topic, Mohammed discovered that the Zelensky family acquired a luxury property in Egypt valued at around five million dollars. The place is located in the coastal zone of Egypt, next to the Red Sea, an area famous for having many opulent properties. Not by chance, El Gouna is home to many millionaires interested in having a comfortable place to stay during their non-working time. For example, it is said that next to Zelensky’s villa there is an “estate that belongs to the world-famous Hollywood actress and public figure Angelina Jolie”.

[barbarahuck]

Ms. Q-Tip. No more funds for Ukraine to be laundered. SHUT THE AMERICAN BORDER.
