The Dems got a real smack on their fingers in the Nov. 5th election-Are they going to take a look inside themselves and figure out why they lost ?

Or are they going to throw accuses towards all the others ?

Right now they are playing the blame game. It's fun to watch.

I was expecting this-Instead of look inside them self they blame others-The same happens here in Denmark, Sweden and Germany after an election.

You seem not to want to believe that it was Russia which invaded Ukraine, a sovereign country, member of the United Nations, and is attempting to conquer it in one of the most naked Imperialistic land and resource grabs since WW2.

NATO is not pushing up against anyone and never has. It is not an offensive organization but rather a purely defensive one. The border nations being eyed by the land and resource hungry Russian bear on their eastern doorsteps very understandably want to be protected from that menace and NATO membership is the best way, the only way, to get it.

Resource,hungry Russia ? Looking at the landmass of Russia proper.They don't need anything.It is America and Europe and the Scandinavian countries who have let their populations grow. By natural birth or immigration continue to use up their country's resources. It's the Globalist elite,by country and their mindset is oh ya you know.We and our families have for Decades taken care of you! And that hasn't worked out to good for the everyday man or the other bipeds in society. Now for these Globlist,an old 007 movie the world is not enough.NATO we must have Russia.

I don't know about all that globalist crap you're spouting here but "resource hungry" is absolutely an accurate description of the modern day Russian regime. Their oligarchs have already carved up those captured Ukrainian provinces and the gas and minerals they sit on and they have plans for the rest of it.

It's not the only description of Russia though. "Empire Hungry" also describes them. They want to rebuild the Russian Empire, which at one point stretched between the Elbe River and the Rocky Mountains. Ukraine and Georgia are now being swallowed but every country in the way have good reason to worry, and every right to join a mutual defense organization like NATO, to keep the Russian bear from eating them next.

We are absolutely right to equip and arm the Ukrainians fighting for their national survival and to drive the Russians from their country, and we should give them much more than we have so far, because if we don't stop the Russians westward expansion there we'll be stopping it in Poland and the Baltics with American blood, not just bullets.

Trump want's to stop support for the Ukraine. It's my hope the more real world aware people in Trump's Cabinet will prevail upon his common sense. I think it's in the United States best interests to support Ukraine for the very reasons you mentioned. If Russia wins in the Ukraine, they won't stop there.

Russia is already maneuvering for War with their posturing. Chinese ships, most likely at the behest of Russia, dragging anchors, cutting lines, etc....

As some point, NATO will see action against Russia. It's a matter of time. Especially, if Russia prevails in the Ukraine.

Lest we forget

The discovery of cocaine in the White House made headlines in July 2023. A small bag of the substance was found in a heavily trafficked area of the West Wing, raising significant questions and concerns about security and access protocols in one of the most secure buildings in the world.
Key Details:

1. Location of Discovery: The substance was found in a storage cubby used by visitors to store personal items, located near the West Wing entrance. This area sees a high volume of staff, guests, and tour participants.
2. Initial Investigation:
   • The substance was subjected to field testing and confirmed to be cocaine.
   • The Secret Service conducted an investigation, including reviewing security footage and fingerprint/DNA analysis, to identify the individual responsible.
3. Outcome:
   • The investigation did not identify a suspect due to a lack of physical evidence linking the cocaine to any individual.
   • The case was closed without further action, citing the difficulty of pinpointing ownership in such a busy area.
4. Reaction:
   • The incident sparked criticism and calls for stricter security measures, with some questioning how such a substance could bypass rigorous screening.
   • Officials noted the challenge of balancing accessibility for public tours with maintaining the highest security standards.

The White House emphasized that no members of the First Family were present at the time of the discovery.


The exact amount spent on security services for the White House is not publicly detailed, as it involves classified information related to national security. However, overall funding for protecting the White House, the President, and other government officials is part of the broader budget allocated to the United States Secret Service (USSS).
In recent years, the Secret Service's total annual budget has been approximately $2-3 billion, covering protective services for:

1. The White House complex: Including physical security, electronic surveillance, and personnel.
2. Presidential travel and security: Both domestically and internationally.
3. Protecting the First Family and other VIPs: Such as the Vice President, visiting dignitaries, and presidential candidates during campaigns.
4. Investigative operations: Including counterfeit currency investigations and cybersecurity.

A significant portion of this budget goes directly to the security measures for the White House, though the exact breakdown is not public. Costs include advanced security technologies, personnel salaries, and maintenance of a secure environment.

Interesting how many Jan 6 patriots they have tracked down but not the coke head or the DNC/RNC Jan 6 bomber

I wonder why Trump has not yet nominated Jake Angeli for some ministry

Yep, but barely. 49.97% to Vice President Harris’ 48.36% as of 12-3-24 with 95% of the vote in.

It also looks like Trump will now allow FBI background checks of his cabinet stooges, or clay pigeons as things appear.
