WAR MONGERING JOE BIDEN - Biden Regime is Funding the Destruction of Veterans’ Lives And you’re paying for it.

 PROFILE OF A SOCIOPATH GAMER LAWYER:

JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes.  In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Biden Regime is Funding the Destruction of Veterans’ Lives

And you’re paying for it.

The Biden regime is indefatigably committed to the baseless and dangerous – indeed, life-destroying – delusion that women can become men and men can become champion female swimmers and International Women of Courage, and so when its budget proposal for 2024 included taxpayer money for genital mutilation surgeries and hormones for veterans, the regime was just being consistent. This budget item, however, makes it abundantly clear that “tolerance” is not on the agenda, either for the regime or for the LGBTQ industry. Authoritarians to the core, both are after total compliance: we not only have to believe in their insane fantasies, we also have to pay for them.

The groundwork for this budget proposal was laid in June 2021, when the Department of Veterans Affairs lifted a 20-year ban on what Rolling Stone called “gender confirmation surgeries for trans people,” and what the budget itself refers to as “gender affirming care.” These bland euphemisms are designed to hide the fact that what is really being discussed here is physical butchery, making people dependent upon pharmaceuticals for their entire lifetime, and destroying their possibility of having normal relationships and families. There can be no doubt that future generations will look upon today’s society approval, and indeed, celebration of all this with unmitigated horror, but those days are still a ways off. Right now, we have to sign the checks for the destruction of our fellow human beings who have fallen prey to this delusion.

The evils are being sold as a positive good, as evil always has been sold throughout history. And so back in 2021 when the Veterans Affairs Department lifted the ban on these mutilation surgeries, VA Secretary Denis McDonough announced happily that the department would now be “allowing transgender vets to go through the full gender confirmation process with VA by their side.” He had the sinister audacity or jaw-dropping ignorance to add: “We’re making these changes not only because they are the right thing to do, but because they can save lives.”

Now the budget that will force all Americans to pay for this crime against humanity for veterans states in the same vein that it is doing so in recognition of “the diversity of America’s veterans,” and also as part of action that the Biden regime is taking in order to “advance equity across veterans’ services.” It goes out of its way to point out that “the VA announced that it was extending survivor benefits to certain survivors of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex veterans.”

Terrific, but the downside of all this is already becoming apparent. The Daily Caller reported Thursday that “former Navy Seal Chris Beck announced in a Dec. 1 interview that he was transitioning back to being a man, after nearly a decade of living as a woman and advocating for trans people in the military.” Was Beck consulted when the new budget, requiring Americans to pay for the genital mutilation of psychologically disturbed veterans, was formulated? Was anyone, anyone at all, who was involved in putting the 2024 budget together apprised of the extent of the butchery involved in “gender-affirming” surgeries, and the physical and psychological harm that can ensue? (For evidence, see here and here, but be forewarned: these images and accounts are not for the fainthearted or weak of stomach.)

There is a great deal that is monstrous about the Biden regime, not least its ongoing attempts to destroy the freedom of speech (remember the “Disinformation Governance Board,” and make no mistake, such initiatives continue) and criminalize dissent (as we see with the ongoing Jan. 6 “insurrection” hoax). It has actually become an open question whether or not America will survive this regime as a free society. Certainly if the Left succeeds in attaining its authoritarian goals, the human cost will be catastrophic, but that cost is apparent right now in the regime’s commitment to “gender affirming care.” The recipients of this “care” will find their gratitude turning to resentment, horror, and rage as they have to live with what was done to them when no less an authority than the United States government was touting their mutilation as physically and psychologically affirming.

If there were any justice, we would ultimately see Old Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and all the rest of them on trial at Nuremberg. But as the elites usually do, they’re likely to escape the horrific consequences of their actions, and die laden with awards and honors for their services to humanity. The only people who will have to pay the price are those who will be the recipients of their taxpayer-funded largesse.

DeSantis Labels Russia's War Against Ukraine a 'Territorial Dispute'

Florida governor says United States must avoid becoming further entangled in European conflict

March 14, 2023

Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) called for less U.S. involvement in the "territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia," an apparent break from traditional Republican foreign policy voices who have urged staunch United States support for Ukraine.

DeSantis, in a statement provided to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, said that "while the U.S. has many vital national interests … becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them." DeSantis stopped short of calling for a freeze on U.S. military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine but said the United States cannot provide advanced weapons like missiles and aircraft.

"F-16s and long-range missiles should therefore be off the table," DeSantis said. "These moves would risk explicitly drawing the United States into the conflict and drawing us closer to a hot war between the world’s two largest nuclear powers. That risk is unacceptable."

DeSantis’s call for less U.S. involvement in Ukraine has set up an early showdown between 2024 Republican presidential candidates as they attempt to set themselves apart on the foreign policy front. The governor's remarks appear to put him somewhere between former president Donald Trump, who has also opposed intervention in Ukraine, and declared presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who has been a strong supporter of aid for Ukraine—and are similar to the Biden administration's position of support for Ukraine that stops short of F-16s and long-range missiles.

Trump, who is widely seen as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, said earlier this week that instead of sending military equipment to Ukraine, he would be pushing both sides to accept a deal, even if that means Russia ultimately wins parts of Ukraine.

"I could have negotiated," Trump told Sean Hannity on his radio show. "At worst, I could have made a deal to take over something, you know, there are certain areas that are Russian-speaking areas, right, like, but you could have worked a deal. And now Ukraine is just being blown to smithereens."

Trump and DeSantis are at odds with the rest of the declared and likely-to-announce Republican field, including Haley, former vice president Mike Pence, and former secretary of state Mike Pompeo.

Haley, who has already begun campaigning, is a strong proponent of U.S. aid to Ukraine.

Haley, in comments also provided to Carlson, called "opposing Russia in Ukraine a vital American national strategic interest." She made clear that the United States cannot stop supporting Ukraine until the war has ended.

"Russia’s objective is to take over all of Ukraine by military force. Our objective should be to help the Ukrainians prevent that from happening," she said. "If Russia stopped fighting and left Ukraine, the war would end instantly, and America would no longer need to play a role. If Ukraine stopped fighting, Ukraine would no longer exist, and other countries would legitimately fear they would be next."

This support, however, should not include "blank checks" or "American troops," according to Haley.

Pence, who served under Trump and has not yet officially announced his candidacy, has taken aim at GOP isolationists like his former boss and a small cadre of Republican members of Congress.

"While some in my party have taken a somewhat different view, let me be clear: There can be no room in the leadership of the Republican Party for apologists for Putin," Pence said. "There can only be room for champions of freedom."

Pompeo, who also has not formally declared his candidacy, has been a vocal advocate for Ukraine. He said in late January that the United States should do "everything the Ukrainians are asking us to do. They haven't asked us to send our soldiers. They haven't asked for the 82nd Airborne. They've simply said, provide us the stuff we need. And it is their lives that are at risk."

Tech executive Vivek Ramaswamy, who threw his hat into the race last month and has virtually no foreign policy experience, described the war in Ukraine as a distraction from efforts to counter China.

"The main thing should be the main thing: focus on China," Ramaswamy said on Twitter in late February. "China wants the Ukraine war to last as long as possible to deplete Western military capacity before invading Taiwan. It’s working: we think we *look* stronger by helping Ukraine, but we actually *become* weaker vs. China."

Pew: Percentage of Americans, Republicans Who Oppose Military Aid to Ukraine On The Rise

(CNSNews.com) -- A recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that the percentage of Americans and Republicans who oppose military aid to Ukraine is growing, with major increases in opposition to aid in January 2023 compared with the percentages from March 2022.

For instance, in March 2022, when asked if the U.S. was providing "too much" military aid to Ukraine, only 7% of American adults said yes, too much aid. But in January 2023, 26% said "too much" aid, an increase of 19 percentage points.

Among Republicans and independents who lean Republican, in March 2022 only 9% said the U.S. was providing "too much" aid to Ukraine.

However, in January 2023, 40% of those Republicans/Leaning Republican said the U.S. was providing too much support to Ukraine. Only 17% of that group said the Biden administration was providing "not enough" aid.

In addition, "There has also been an increase in the share of Democrats who say the U.S. is providing too much support to Ukraine," reported Pew.  "Still, only 15% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents currently say this, up from 5% last March. About six-in-ten Democrats either say the U.S. is providing about the right amount of support to Ukraine (40%) or that the U.S. is not providing enough support (23%)."

As for whether Americans view the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a "major threat to U.S. interests," 51% of Republicans/Lean Republican said yes back in March 2022.

In January 2023, however, only 29% of Republicans/Lean Republican say the conflict is a major threat to U.S. interests. That's a decline of 22 percentage points.

"The share of Americans who see the conflict as a major threat to U.S. interests has declined in both parties since March 2022," reported Pew.  "Today, Republicans are far less likely than Democrats to say this (29% vs. 43%).

Commenting on the Ukraine-Russia war, former President Donald Trump, in a statement to Tucker Carlson Tonight, said opposing Russia in Ukraine is not a vital American strategic interest. He also opposed pursuing regime change in Russia.

"We should support regime change in the United States, that's far more important," said Trump. "The Biden administration are the ones who got us into this mess.”

Potential GOP presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) also said that further entangling the U.S. "in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia" is not among America's "many vital national interests."

"We cannot prioritize intervention in an escalating foreign war over the defense of our own homeland, especially as tens of thousands of Americans are dying every year from narcotics smuggled across our open border and our weapons arsenals critical for our own security are rapidly being depleted," said the governor.
