What a surprise to learn that Sen. Chris Murphy and other Dems got to Zelensky before the disastrous meeting in the Oval Office. Murphy even posted on his social media, bragging about derailing the upcoming meeting. Is it any wonder that the left has been acting as saboteurs within our own government , undermining foreign and domestic policy? Just goes to show where their loyalties lie, certainly not with the American people. The reality remains, Dems would rather see Trump and the Country fail, than be successful and gain in the polls. Yes, today’s Democrats are nothing more than a band of liars, thieves and grifters.

Zelenskyy letting his head get turned by Democrats self-serving interests, is an ultimate deal breaker. There is zero value doing business with him, what he claims to be his country, or allowing both to be leveraged by self-serving Democrats.

Babylon Bee cuts to the chase, as usual- conscript every local flower-garlanded, embroidered peasant shirt-wearing, perky Ukrainian folk dancer and yellow and blue lapel festooned cookie pusher. Enlist themselves for the cause. Don't ask the rest of us to commit US treasure, when they turned "Ukraine" into flag-waving cartoon joke from their own safe space over 6000 miles away.

This is what Chris Murphy posted on social "Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine." That's all.

How does that get conscrewed into bragging about derailing the meeting?

Fact: Murphy and others met with Zelensky BEFORE a scheduled Presidential meeting and discouraged him from signing the “mineral deal.”

Fact should be easy to prove. I'm not saying it didn't happen - just it wasn't on Murphy's social media posts like you said.

Just copy what Mr. Eringer does and put the source after the 'fact'

Democrats continue to believe Trump is a one dimensional, thin-skinned egotist who will explode irrationally when goaded by even the slightest pushback. They set up Zelenskyy to carry out this role on their behalf. Yet again, Democrats badly misjudged reality to further their own selfish agenda.

The Dems meet with Zelensky? I am shocked.

Democrats would never do that! But wait it is an open secret and documented with Nixon talking with the NVA out of Hanoi at the Paris Peace(?) Accords the Democrats in charge of the Senate were meeting with the NVA outside of the official meetings (that is a violation of law).

Note Gen. Giap states in his autobiography that he never understood why Nixon stopped the bombing of the north and Hanoi. They were only 2 days away from "unconditional surrender" because they had no radar, little electrical generation, most of their food supplies gone and a completely destroyed air force. Democrats promised Ho's boys to string it out because they would threaten Nixon with cutting off military funding if he did not fold to the communists. Think what China issues today would be if Vietnam was capitalist and in the American camp.

So now we find the losers like Chuckie have and continue to undermine the President of the nation by meeting with Zelensky?

Langley to solicit their assistance for countering the onslaught against him. ???? Nixon???

What have we seen recently with the Biden Administration? Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, open borders, proven lap-tops and more?

So if Mr. Eringer is even half right it really cast a very dark shadow across the not so loyal opposition.

Interesting read

Next best thing, Vietnam today is pretty much "capitalist and in the US camp". And yes, sticking it to China still motivates them, had we only fully understood what was really at stake in their 2000 year history of Vietnam.

As an American tourist shortly after we were allowed to visit northern Vietnam, I was struck by an awkward moment with my young guide over US war engagement and asked how did she feel about Americans today.

She replied, you were only there for a few years, nothing like the long and bloody history with the French, and especially not as long as their very hated millennials of Chinese occupation. She also asked at the "Vietnam War" Museum in Hanoi why I kept calling it the "Vietnam War", when to her it was the United States War. Travel is broadening.

Ukraine is not NATO. We never had any business there.

Democracy, what a joke! Why did we not help the war in Ethiopia if it’s about democracy.

No, it’s about money laundering for the deep state.

Billions gone “missing”.

But imagine Mexico & Canada joining BRICS. And Russia running bio labs in Mexico.

Do you think we might get upset.

Americans are ignorant, wake up.

Europe is getting paid bs I every dollar they loaned Ukraine.

Europe kept Russia afloat by buying their fossil fuels throughout this entire war and did not boycott or seek alternative supplies from allies like US.

What a frickin joke!

Once again American Politcians are not looking out for America! Like 2nd & 3rd generation money that has no idea to make money they spend it.

Because it grows on trees for them and they squeeze you for whatever is left over.

Admittedly, I have always been a fan of Richard “Tricky Dick” Nixon. Maybe it was because I once lived down the street from his birthplace and library in Yorba Linda. Nixon, in my view never seemed to catch a brake, nor did history ever acknowledge the credit he deserves. Too bad he got swallowed up by the same swamp that sees Trump as a threat as well, and wants to devour him in the same way.

Interesting how Bob Woodward is now being called out by Bill Murray as being a well paid hack and liar that many have known for a long time. Yes, Woodward went on to sandbag Bush II and Trump, but has been curiously mum about Biden’s monumental cognitive decline while in office…what a surprise! Interesting, those who helped bring down Nixon; Ehrlichman, Haldeman, Kissinger, Woodward and Bernstein.

Like the JFK assassination, there is still more to learn from deep state files about the Nixon "assassination" too.

When Nixon was elected he asked my father, who was a lawyer, if he would head the IRS - with the stipulation that my dad use it to punish Nixon's enemies list. My father refused. He knew Nixon from way back in CA when he smeared Helen Douglas in her campaign very similarly to Lois Capps smearing Chris Mitchum. Nixon was not a good guy who just happened to get taken down.

Polly, I shared that same long perception about Tricky Dick, and even lived in Wash DC during the whole Watergate affair take down and DH was able to watch helicopter trip out of the Wash DC from the WH grounds. National news was our local news and we saw many of the parties in person, in real time.

Only of late, when I see more revealed about deep state CIA take-downs of their own "enemies lists", am I finally re-evaluating my own Tricky Dick fulminations -- in a much larger and longer historical context. Bob Haldeman, living locally, to his dying breath did claim it was all a set up. He may still be proven right.

I cast my first election vote for Nixon because I believed he'd end the Vietnam War and he did, it just took him a while. I think both things are true: Nixon was not a good guy and he did some great things. Which makes him a better president than all of our recent presidents except Trump - Biden, Bush, Obama, Clinton - what great things did they do?

I’m not sure about all this politics stuff, I only know one thing - walk loud and carry a huge stick. I suggest we focus on doubling our military - Trump will know what to do with it . . . “If and when”

With regard to DOGE, I looked up the term definition of "abuse." Grok stated, "... suggesting that abuse—whether misuse of funds, authority, or resources—is a key concern alongside waste and fraud. Also stated, ... "its focus seems to blend ideological cuts with investigations into potential misuse." Myself, I'm gearing up on reporting the FBI's wasteful spending on planting stuff and spending money/time on a "character assassination." It has been four years, and I bet anything between being ousted out of SB and ongoing here in Dalton, GA for four years, I bet several million has been spent on myself. I'm on X with a Premium+ account and can write articles. After watching the three-hour Rogan/Musk discussion from last Friday ... I have some technical ideas to share with Elon and then I'll get into my SB city-FBI-neighbor induced trauma. I'll be suing the city for tens of millions along with pulling down the pants of the FBI and cutting off their balls.

ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I’m sure most of you know about the State of the Union address tonight from your lord and master. I’m sure he’ll drone for at least 90 minutes on about how fabulous he is and all the miraculous things he’s done, he will talk about how he kicked Zelensky out of the White House. He’ll make excuses of why he’s not willing to help an ally fighting for democracy for their country. He will praise Putin. trump wants Zelensky to bend and accept what trump and Putin want. Then he’ll get to the most important part of his speech, which is, for America to get behind cryptocurrency. Both he and the Mrs. are involved in this business now. He is using the presidency for profit.

One quick question Julia, do you get your talking points from the same source that created the 22 Democrat mocking birds putting out TDS videos using the exact same script just yesterday?

JL. I've commented that you're like Kellanee Conway. Where do you get your talking points from? Trump cheerleader camp? If you disagreed with 1% of the current dogma, I'd have respect for you. But you seem to take the whole program in with no pushback. That's weak.

JL, I had not seen that video with the Democratic representatives, thank you, that was enjoyable. Actually, I think they were mocking the trump loyalists. The ones that come out and parrot what he meant, after he did or said something stupid. I mean, everyone comes out of the woodwork to make excuses for him, his press secretary, his vp, all his cabinet, they just all come out and say the same thing making excuses for the moron.

By the way, you seem to have forgotten I tried to straighten you out, but anybody infected with TDS are the diehard magas.

Julia, If they are stopping the massive bleeding, then indeed they are helping the "hard core Democrats". The problem is the patient is already in extremis, and losing more moderate, non-government employee union Democrats every day. See you in 2028.

JL, honestly we will not need to worry about 2028. By then Trump should have finalized the sale of America to Russia. Putin will have his own elections, and we already know how those turn out, then trump will join the Russian oligarchs he admires so much, so don’t worry about it.

From a purely economic standpoint, is it cheaper to obtain "rare earth minerals" from other sources, instead of going to bed with a long-standing kleptocrat nation who is a perennial member of the top 10 list of most corrupt nations on the planet?

My vote is to outsource these rare earth minerals demands elsewhere, and include expanded domestic production or research into alternatives when alternative costs are factored in to either option. Defending ersatz US economic interests in Ukraine that exist only on paper, is a foolish venture and a misalignment of US interests.

Mining lithium from the Salton Sea makes far more sense to me, than guaranteeing US security entanglements thousands of miles away.

I read this long-winded article by Intelligence Person Mr. Eringer with an even longer title

"U.S.-Ukraine-a-Twist! Rolling Stone on Epstein's List! Did Second Shooter Really Exist? Bob Woodward Dissed!" I quote from Mr. Eringer "Such a situation checkmates Putin’s imperialist ambition to resurrect the old Soviet Union."

I will provide a new Title "Russian & Ukraine Mafia in the Old Soviet Union of Santa Barbara"

Mr. Eringer, as usual, you have your mishmash of 20 to 30 half-truths and conspiracies, yes, I know I’m exaggerating, but it seems to be a habit on this website anyway. If the Democrats did meet or speak with Zelensky before the trump meeting, I’m sure it was to warn him that trump’s word, like Putin’s can’t be trusted. The only thing trump wants from Ukraine is their “raw” earth. You would think by now, his second term, he would learn to speak correctly, he kept saying “raw” earth instead of rare earth. Such a moron.

I have a question if you would kindly explain. Today’s chorus line of sheep, you have dressed in masculine clothing, but yet they’re all wearing high heels is this some sort of subliminal message.
