Maher: Biden Has Bad Approval Ratings Because of Homelessness, Theft
According to a Department of Homeland Security report reviewed by Breitbart Texas, 61,471 migrants from “Special Interest Countries” entered the United States in Fiscal Year 2023. According to a source within CBP, most of the migrants, mainly single adult males from countries subject to travel warnings by the U.S. State Department due to terrorism, were released into the United States to pursue asylum claims.
The number of migrants from special interest countries climbed by more than 140% from fiscal year 2022 when Border Patrol agents encountered more than 25,500 Special Interest migrants across the southwest border. In all, more than 86,000 “Special Interest Aliens” made the crossing in two years.
According to a 2019 DHS fact sheet, the term “Significant Interest Alien” (SIA) is defined as follows:
Generally, an SIA is a non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests. Often such individuals or groups are employing travel patterns known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism. DHS analysis includes an examination of travel patterns, points of origin, and/or travel segments that are tied to current assessments of national and international threat environments.
This does not mean that all SIAs are “terrorists,” but rather that the travel and behavior of such individuals indicate a possible nexus to nefarious activity (including terrorism) and, at a minimum, provide indicators that necessitate heightened screening and further investigation. The term SIA does not indicate any specific derogatory information about the individual – and DHS has never indicated that the SIA designation means more than that.
More than 15,000 Special Interest Migrants from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania were apprehended entering the United States from Mexico during the latest fiscal year, which ended on September 30. According to the CIA World Factbook, the Northwestern African country is still working to address a continuing practice of slavery and its vestiges. Although officially abolished in 1981, slavery was not criminalized until 2007. As of 2022, the practice of slavery still exists among most ethnic groups inside the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, according to a United Nations report.

In July 2023, the State Department’s travel warning to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania lists crime and terrorism as the main concern to discourage travel by United States citizens.
More than 15,400 Turkish nationals were apprehended as well. Concerning travel to Turkey, the U.S. State Department cautions:
Terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Turkey. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, local government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, educational institutions, airports, and other public areas.
According to the CBP source, many of the migrants from Special Interest countries may be fleeing the issues related to terrorism, crime, kidnappings, and unlawful detentions in their home country as cited by the U.S. State Department. The source, however, is alarmed by the potential national security risk posed by some within that category.
“It’s understandable that people will flee from countries where terrorism exists, but with such high numbers of migrants from everywhere crossing daily, it’s hard to distinguish between those fleeing the conditions and those who may be actively participating in those activities,” the source explained.
Although most of the focus on illegal immigration at the southern border with Mexico falls on the high number of migrants from Venezuela and Central America, little media attention is focused on migrants from Special Interest countries. This is, in part, because the statistics regarding their apprehension and any disposition of their immigration cases are closely guarded by the Department of Homeland Security and not generally released to the public.
According to the source, in Fiscal Year 2023, migrants from more than 280 countries were apprehended by the Border Patrol, including those from 34 countries listed as Special Interest countries. Among the remainder of Special Interest Aliens entering the United States during FY 23 were more than 5,600 Afghans, 3,000 Egyptians, nearly 2,500 Somalis, 2,500 citizens of Bangladesh, nearly 1,300 Pakistanis, 1,200 Eritreans, and almost 1,000 nationals of Tajikistan and Kazakstan.
Nearly 1,700 special interest migrants from Iran, Syria, Morrocco, Jordan, Djibouti, Iraq, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Algeria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates also made entry into the United States.
The SIAs enter in small numbers daily at almost all parts of the southwest border. As reported by Breitbart Texas, larger numbers of migrants from outside the hemisphere, including those from Special Interest countries, are more frequently encountered in Arizona.
During one recent trip to the border region near Lukeville, Arizona, Breitbart Texas observed more than 300 migrants surrender to awaiting Border Patrol agents from a multitude of non-Spanish speaking countries. The migrant group included citizens from mostly western African nations, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, and China.
In just one day in September, according to the source, more than 240 migrants from Special Interest countries entered the United States from Mexico. Most, according to the source were released to pursue asylum claims within the United States.

Maher: Biden Has Bad Approval Ratings Because of Homelessness, Theft
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are low “Because it just doesn’t feel good when you see tents everywhere on the street. It just doesn’t feel like the country’s right. It just doesn’t feel good when I’ve got to get a sales associate to unlock the hair scrunchies.”
Maher began by lamenting that we can’t seem to find a “middle ground between what a lot of these liberal cities are doing, which is…they say, it’s not a violent crime. Yeah, it’s not if you don’t try to stop it.” And 2024 GOP presidential candidate former President Donald Trump talking about shooting shoplifters.
ABC News Contributor and The Dispatch Editor Sarah Isgur stated that the left-wing belief Maher described is “a luxury belief” held by people who “aren’t actually affected by crime.” And that these beliefs are a fake form of compassion, and “It’s not compassionate…to be paying drug cartels billions of dollars that are going to drug cartels to move people, to smuggle humans over the border. … It’s not compassionate to say, well, like, I’m fine with the homeless people in tents shooting up fentanyl. In fact, I’ll give them a clean syringe. It’s not compassionate to tell someone that they should die on the sidewalk.”
Maher responded, “I agree. And it’s also just psychologically demoralizing these things, like if you’re in a store and you can’t shop freely. Biden’s always saying, why don’t people like me more? And then they cite numbers. Because it just doesn’t feel good when you see tents everywhere on the street. It just doesn’t feel like the country’s right. It just doesn’t feel good when I’ve got to get a sales associate to unlock the hair scrunchies.”

Maher: ‘Sanctuary City Hypocrite’ Dems Got Their Bluff Called
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that Republicans who bused migrants to sanctuary cities “called the Democrats’ bluff about sanctuary cities,” and the Democrats “look like sanctuary city hypocrites” and “I understand a little, I told you so from the people on the border.”
During his opening monologue, Maher said, “Here’s how serious the situation is: You know, they’ve been busing the migrants to the cities now. They kind of called the Democrats’ bluff about sanctuary cities, and they said oh, you love them so much? Here you go. And the cities don’t like it so much. Eric Adams (D), the Mayor of New York, said this is going to destroy our city. … I love Eric Adams…he went today, to Mexico. He’s going to Mexico, Ecuador, and Colombia, I think door-to-door, no, really, just to tell people personally, we don’t have room, I’m not kidding, don’t come. That’s pretty amazing. No, he’s telling these people, we don’t have room. This is New York City. Don’t you know our catchphrase? We’re the Little Apple. And our theme song, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, so go anywhere, don’t come here.”
Later, he stated that “the border crisis has sort of become a national crisis. It was always something like oh, it’s down there, and yes, it’s bad. But it’s — and now it’s all over the country because they’ve been busing the migrants and so forth.”
Maher added that the idea of military action against Mexico is ridiculous, and “it looks like Biden is adopting [Trump’s] policy. This does not look good for the Democrats. Also, they look like sanctuary city hypocrites. They were the ones who said, look, we’re the compassionate people. Everybody should get a shot here. And then when they started sending — I mean, the [quotations] from Eric Adams, this is the Mayor of liberal New York, this issue will destroy our city. The governor, if you’re going to leave your country, go somewhere else. Keep walking, is from the governor of New York. They put out a flyer, New York City, now, it says, New York is one of the most expensive cities in the world, you are better off going to a more affordable city. And also, the club scene is dead. But, there is a little — I understand a little, I told you so from the people on the border.”

10 MILLION OF JOE'S ILLEGALS WITH THE 40 MILLION ALREADY HERE
Chicago Alderman: We Need ‘Serious Policy Changes’ and a Vote on Repealing Sanctuary City Policy
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Chicago Alderman Chris Taliaferro stated that Chicago needs “to make some serious policy changes” due to the city being on “the brink of not being able to take any more migrants in.” And called for a referendum on if the city should remain a sanctuary city.
Co-host Carley Shimkus asked, “New York is running out of space, and so is Chicago. And authorities are bracing for up to 25 buses of around 1,250 people aboard them arriving daily in Chicago. You have people sleeping in O’Hare Airport, which has sort of become a migrant shelter in and of itself. If this keeps happening, Alderman, what happens to Chicago?”
Taliaferro responded, “We are already at the brink of not being able to take any more migrants in. We’re closing down our public spaces in order to accommodate the asylum seekers. So, it’s becoming a very — and not to speak of the financial restraint it’s placing upon the city. So, we have to make some serious policy changes, in my opinion, and put this matter out to voters to determine whether or not we continue and how long we continue to be a welcoming and sanctuary city.”

LIKE BIDEN, THIS FUKER CAN'T OPEN HIS MOUTH WITHOUT MORE LIES FALLING OUT!
Illegal Immigration is Being Driven by Corruption in DC
Watch Mayorkas Mislead Americans on Border Wall
President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is trying to quell progressive outrage and GOP glee after he announced he would build another 17 miles of President Donald Trump’s 450-mile border wall.
“There is no new administration policy with respect to the border wall,” Cuban-born Alejandro Mayorkas insisted at a press conference in Mexico on Thursday.
“The law requires the government to use these funds for this purpose,” he said.
But Mayorkas is a careful lawyer and politician.
He picks his words carefully as he tries to calm left-wing anger over the 17 extra miles of border wall — while also trying to persuade swing voters that the Biden administration has not opened the border.
His political zigzag is spotlighted in this sentence: “From Day One, this administration has made clear that a border wall is not the answer.”
\Left-wingers were pleased by Mayorkas’s claim that “a border wall is not the answer.” They include Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who demanded Mayorkas’s agency pull down the existing wall.
But his “not the answer” statement also allows ordinary Americans to falsely believe that Mayorkas wants to stop illegal migration.
The statement tricks Americans into thinking that Mayorkas is answering the public’s question — How do we stop illegal migration? — responded John Feere, a former top enforcement official in President Donald Trump’s administration.
In reality, Feere said, Mayorkas believes his most important question is, “How do we welcome mass illegal immigration?”
So Mayorkas is really “telling us that a strong border wall won’t impede his efforts to welcome mass illegal immigration,” Feere said.
“And it is true,” Feere added. For example, Mayorkas has opened numerous legal loopholes along the border that let millions of economic migrants walk past, sneak through, and fly over the border wall.
Voters are “confused, and the reality is the [migrants] are still coming,” Feere said.
On the same press conference stage as Mayorkas, Biden’s pro-migration Secretary of State Antony Blinken sketched the question facing Mayorkas:
Under the [2022] Los Angeles Declaration … at the last Summit of the Americans, we’re charged with taking coordinated actions [Added: so what must we do?] to stabilize flows, to expand regular pathways, to humanely manage all of our borders.
A top White House official at the press conference also described the border challenges and questions facing Mayorkas. Immigration czar Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall said:
We have discussed the importance of developing approaches that enable us to tackle the human [Added: not economic] crisis of irregular migration. That is both a humanitarian challenge, a public health challenge, and environmental challenge, and a security challenge [Added: but not an economic challenge] for the entire hemisphere.
The term “irregular migration” does not include the migrants invited through loopholes by Mayorkas.
On multiple occasions, Mayorkas has publicly described his goal of “expanding regular pathways” so employers can get all the foreign workers they want without offering higher wages to Americans.
“Regrettably, our legal immigration system is not designed to meet the needs of employers here in the United States,” Mayorkas told the Senate’s judiciary committee in May. He continued:
We have employers who are striving to hire, to find people who could fill jobs to contribute to our country’s economic prosperity. Regrettably, regrettably, our legal immigration system is not designed to meet that need of employers here in the United States, despite the fact that individuals from other countries want to come here to work — even seasonally, even temporarily — earn the money that they can bring back to their home countries and support their families there.
In December 2022, Mayorkas told ElPasoMatters.org:
We look to our partner to the north that has a much more nimble immigration system that can be retooled to the needs at the moment. For example, Canada is in need of 1 million workers and they have agreed that in 2023, they will admit 1.4 million … immigrants to fill that labor need that Canadians themselves cannot. We are stuck in antiquated laws that do not meet our current needs. And they haven’t been working for many, many years.
Canada’s cheap labor migration policy has been disastrous to millions of ordinary Canadians who have been damaged by falling wages and higher housing prices.
But Mayorkas “does still believe that there is some political value” to building more walls, Feere laughed, adding:
All of these people at Fox News [are] talking about “Oh, its really a border wall! It’s really a border wall” when in reality it doesn’t matter at all, and that [fuss] is a political distraction [from Mayorkas’s migration].
Since 2021, Mayorkas has made much progress in his effort to flood Americans’ labor market with migrants.
For example, he has allowed more than 4 million migrants through the border. That flood has helped to cut wages, spike rents, and reduce inflation. In September, he also won a court battle that will allow him to import many more foreign graduates for the Fortune 500 white-collar jobs needed by American graduates.
Extraction Migration
The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.
The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.
The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.
The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites and the establishment to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elite opinion about “the values of our country” Mayorkas claims.
Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.
Illegal aliens get rooms reserved for vets heading to the Army-Navy game
On December 9, 2023, the 124th Army-Navy game will take place at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Unfortunately, many of the veterans who planned to see the game may find themselves out in the cold because the government of Massachusetts has claimed their hotel rooms for illegal aliens.
The Army-Navy game goes back to 1890 when the cadets at West Point first squared off against the midshipman at the Naval Academy. It is the preeminent game of the service academies. The game continued even during World War II, which must have been wrenching for those viewing the game, as they understood that the players engaged in sporting combat would soon be overseas fighting a real war when losing was a matter of life and death, not just academy prestige.
This coming December, the game will be held for the first time ever in Massachusetts. Fans from across America, many (most?) of whom are veterans, have already bought their tickets and made their reservations. However, some of them are discovering that there’s no room at the inn. And just as there was no room at the inn one December over 2,000 years ago because of government activity, that’s the reason there’s no room this time around, either.
Image: No vacancies by Tim Green. CC BY 2.0.
It turns out that the Massachusetts government has a “right to shelter” law that requires state officials to provide shelter for families in need—and it doesn’t matter whether the person in need is legally in the country.
[In 1983], [Governor Michael] Dukakis signed what became known as the “right-to-shelter” law, which has for 40 years required state officials to quickly provide shelter and other necessities to homeless parents with children, pregnant women, and most recently, a large influx of migrant families arriving in Massachusetts.
While most of the illegal aliens flooding America’s southern border are single, military-aged men, there are large numbers of families coming through, too. And now that governors Abbott and DeSantis are shipping illegal aliens to the smug, Democrat-run states in the north that proudly proclaimed themselves to be “sanctuary” cities, the “right to shelter” law is straining Massachusetts finances while proving to be a boon to hotels.
Think about it: Sure, vets are pouring in for the Army-Navy game, but they’ll stay a few days and then be gone. The hotels will then struggle to fill vacancies.
With illegal aliens, though, hotels go from mostly empty to always full, with the state reliably footing the bill. And if the illegal aliens trash the place (as they are wont to do), that’s not a problem either. The hotels carry insurance, and the insurance companies would be hard-pressed to deny coverage when it’s the government that’s placing people in these hotels. Thus, a slightly fraying hotel suddenly gets the chance to do a remodel, courtesy of its insurance.
These facts may explain why the hotel chains in Foxborough canceled veterans’ reservations and are so enthusiastic about their new guests. (I’m surmising, of course. I have no actual information about whether the hotels have less than honorable intentions.)
First, the cancelations:
Tickets to the game sell out quickly and hotel rooms become a hot commodity.
That's why it was all the more troubling when Mark Mansbach, a travel agent out of New Jersey, started getting calls from clients that their hotel rooms for the game were being canceled. He decided to call the hotels his agency was partnering with for the game.
"They were leasing out the hotels to the state of Massachusetts for refugees," Mansbach said he was told. It was the response from three hotels owned by Giri Hotel Management, according to Mansbach.
The company, he explained, was working with the state to house migrants under the right to shelter law. His clients' previously booked hotel rooms were canceled to continue the lease with the state. Mansbach said at least 70 of his reservations were impacted.
And now the enthusiasm:
The three hotels where he lost rooms to migrants are the Best Western in Sharon/Foxboro, the Best Western in Franklin and the Comfort Inn in Foxboro. They are all run by the same company, Giri Hotel Management.
The management company said in a statement:
“Giri Hotel Management is thrilled to announce our commitment to providing shelter and support to refugees at our hotels. As a gesture of solidarity and humanitarian responsibility, we are opening our doors to those seeking refuge in our community. We consider it a privilege to offer a safe haven to those who have been forced to flee their homes due to challenging circumstances, and our enthusiasm stems from our belief in the fundamental values of compassion and unity. By providing shelter to refugees, we aim to be a part of a global community that stands together in support of those in need. We look forward to working with local authorities and organizations to ensure a smooth transition for all those who will call our hotels home during their time with us.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis, a vet, was quick to call out the leftist state’s solicitude for illegal aliens over America’s veterans:
There’s really nothing more to say, is there?
Trade Ukraine for the border
Kevin McCarthy was always accused of being a "deal-maker," and that was somehow part of his downfall. So, too, Donald Trump was hailed for the "Art of the Deal." Neither man, though, as I see it, really was much of a negotiator on national legislation or much else — largely because they had little to offer the other side.
Right now, as weak as the Republicans in Congress are, they have the potential to make a great deal for themselves. They have something Biden and the Democrats are desperate to have (as are Mitch McConnell and the Zelensky Republicans) and which, at the same time, should be no major problem to conservatives.
That is aid to Ukraine. For some reason the liberal Dems, after decades of being squishy-soft on the old Soviet Union, and then Obama's outright appeasement of Putin's Russia, have decided we need to fight it out to the last Ukrainian trans spokeswoman.
As I noted earlier this year, Ukraine, after wrecking much of the Russian army and its modern equipment, was going to exhaust its own resources, and we would be at some kind of stalemate by autumn. A lot of Ukrainians still want another year of support to regroup and wear down the Russians to the point they might still collapse. Possible, but not likely.
Still, they are doing a great service for the world as a whole. The Russian military is so weak now that it will be decades, if ever, before the Russians can again bother the NATO countries, or embark on other misadventures. They are so hard up for equipment that they are even stripping the defenses on the sensitive Kuril Islands off Japan.
The usual folks on our side are unalterably opposed to helping Ukraine, for peculiar reasons — Tucker Carlson, Doug Bandow, etc. But for most conservatives, another year of supporting Ukraine's military seems like hardly the worst thing our tax money supports.
Rather, we should exult in our good fortune. Democrats have adopted the Ukraine War as closely to their hearts as Drag Queen Story Hours. They care about nothing else these days. They want it so badly now, so let's trade for the thing we really want: fixing the southern border.
This would include restoration of Remain in Mexico for asylum-seekers and strict limits on the number of immigrant paroles and Temporary Protected Status waivers. Things are so bad that Biden is doing a bizarre flip-flop on building more sections of the border wall. So Democrats are finally starting to crack on this issue, anyway.
Let's hope the next speaker will take yes for an answer, and we can make a deal to finally close off the millions of illegals flooding our country. That would be a real Art of the Deal.

Corruption Is Driving the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
In a recent article, Jonathan Tobin reviewed the events surrounding the introduction by Anthony Roka, Speaker of the Canadian House in Ottawa, of Yaroslav Hunka as a 99-year-old Ukrainian hero in World War II who was in attendance in the Canadian House gallery. It turned out that this “hero” of Canada and Ukraine was a dedicated member of the Nazi SS and was instrumental in the persecution and death of many Jews during World War II. To celebrate this individual and to ignore the travesties of his past was a monumental faux pas, and Roka resigned as head of the Canadian House. This honoring of Hunka seemed to support Russian accusations against Ukraine that there is a strong thread of Nazification in Ukraine which is poisonous to the body politic of Eastern Europe.
Tobin finds reason after reason to see active anti-Semitism in the Ukraine despite the fact that Zelenskyy is Jewish. Yet throughout the article he keeps inserting that Putin’s motives are very bad, implying that we can’t just abandon Ukraine for that would be throwing out the baby with the bath water. Ultimately, the badness of both the Ukraine and Zelensky on the one side and Putin on the other side is so problematic that we are faced with a type of political gordian knot with so much evil that it seems impossible that any policy could have a good end. He even points out that the 17th-century national hero of the Ukraine, Bohdan Khmelnitsky, was a horrible murderer of Jews. But then he rushes to say that Putin is a very bad dude, so the reader should not think that he is taking the side of Putin against Ukraine. Still, he feels comfortable asking about all the money we are spending in the Ukraine.
It has already been revealed ad nauseum that Ukrainian government and business ventures are deeply beset with a subculture of bribery. The country and its institutions move forward with too many individuals who are seeking personal aggrandizement at the expense of the institutions they control or represent. That is why both ethical and legal restraints should be in play and are in play albeit in some countries and companies more than others. Ukraine is a place where ethical restraints are less in play.
However, despite the recent incident in Canada, do not think that there is only anti-Semitism in Ukraine and not in Russia. The Jews were hated in both those countries long before the Nazi presence. Do not pose the issue as Ukrainian anti-Semitism vs. Putin on a power trip, which is what Tobin does, and not only Tobin but other commentators. Catherine the Great of Russia created the Pale of Settlement with its restrictions on where Jews could live, and czars after her and Cossacks under their command set up many restrictions on Jews. My mother’s cousin, who eventually got out of Russia and had her own lovely family and a peaceful life in Tennessee actually was raped repeatedly by Cossacks who had gone through her town or shtetl in Russia before she emigrated. These societies are generally cruel and corrupt whatever achievements they may lay claim to.
Anti-Semitism was not created by the Nazis, but the Nazi policies were the most harsh. The East European Slavic people did not themselves establish concentration camps and gas chambers, but the Jew hatred of the Nazis was not the main reason the Slavs were opposed to the Nazis. The main reason they opposed the Nazis is that they did not want Germans ruling over them.
Too many columnists like Tobin see the leaders and events within a framework of civil rational discourse. He and others strain to make sense of that which cannot be understood from a western civilization or American civilization mindset. Too many political figures -- especially in the former communist countries -- are power-mad pigs beholden to criminals masquerading as officials and top businessmen (oligarchs).
Who knows who is pulling Zelenskyy’s strings? Are there oligarchs telling him “Do diss,Volodymyr, or you vill vake up dead.” Stop thinking of oligarchs as though they are simply overaggressive lobbyists. No. They are mobsters. And we know that Hunter, and most likely our President, had dealings with these people.
Consider Hunter Biden as he sat on the board of Burisma. He was obviously corrupt. He was paid for his connection to his father, and Tony Bobulinski already told Tucker Carlson that Biden’s brother told him that they could do this because of plausible deniability. All that means is that with the network of over 15 companies set up in Biden family members’ names, a specific payoff to Joe for a particular policy decision or moneys to Ukraine could not be proven or tracked. That’s the way of oligarchs, and Joe essentially became part of the Ukrainian oligarchal setup. He was bought and paid for, body and soul. The corruption of Ukraine and of Russia and the Bidens is the main story here.
Hopefully the above commentary and reflection on history is beginning to open our eyes to the reality that we are sending a fortune to Ukraine not because of its higher moral standing. There is no higher moral standing there, any more than in Russia, regarding ethical conduct or attitudes and practices of government and “business.” And both countries have a reprehensible history related to Jews. Rather, the multiple LLCs in the names of Biden family members as well as conversations with Bobulinski and Devon Archer suggest that our President was the “big guy” in a brilliant but illegal scheme of influence peddling.
It seems likely that Joe Biden was on the receiving end of so many bribes from Ukraine, he must now pay off his “owners.” They are calling in the years of payoffs. Give us support or we will out you. Give us support because we supported you. We bought your services and you willingly promised to supply the needed services at a time of need. This is that time, and we are calling in what we bought! That demand coming from the oligarch class in Ukraine is probably why we are throwing so much support to Ukraine, and this writer is also assuming that there are also corrupt dealings between the Bidens and Russia, which is why the President has not taken an even tougher line against Russia.
True statesmanlike leadership from the U.S. would have put our political currency into establishing a truce, not in defending Ukraine to the extent that we have. Our policy seems to be an expression of U.S. corruption at the highest level.
Tobin sidesteps the entire issue of Biden corruption and Russian and Ukrainian oligarch corruption in favor of addressing neo-Nazism in Ukraine.
