All I will say about Ukraine/Russia for now is:

If Biden actually cared about Ukraine, he wouldn’t have greenlit Nord Stream 2. And he would prioritize American ENERGY INDEPENDENCE instead of destroying it.

Peace through strength. Not weakness, incompetence, and belligerence.

And if Biden cared about fighting corruption in Ukraine, which is a serious issue (in fact a national security threat), he would not have allowed his son to collect massive bribes from Burisma, which was owned by oligarchs tied to Russia.

For those who defend Joe Biden, saying he had no control over it, here’s what he could’ve done on one of his many trips to Ukraine as VP: State publicly that Burisma offered his son a “job,” but he requests they withdraw the offer to avoid the APPEARANCE of a conflict of interest

A lot of people on here having meltdowns about “DeSantistan” have zero firsthand experience of living under an authoritarian regime, and believe me, it shows. 😒

Here’s the reality: Florida is the envy of freedom-loving people all over the world. 🐊

First, basic logic: If you actually lived in a dictatorship and dared to criticize your own government on TV or social media, you would get a knock on your door the same day and never make that same “mistake” again. Oh, your statements would be censored & the TV station raided.

And in authoritarian regimes, you don’t see journalists shouting aggressive bad-faith “gotcha” questions, chasing government officials to their cars, or publishing defamatory conspiracy theories under clickbait headlines.

Media do PR for government—kinda like WaPo & Biden regime

✈️ from DC, took mask off to drink water. Karen next to me asks if I’m vaccinated. I said yes sure because I didn’t feel like arguing. She proceeds to tell me how great the Biden vaccine mandate is. I told her it’s illegal, and she accused me of “disrespecting the presidency” 😝

For those wondering why I didn’t argue with her over 💉 or say let’s go Brandon — I don’t want to be on the no fly list. Even if she started the confrontation, I’m sure I’d get blamed for reacting to whatever she did.

Why I tell this story: because the 38% who still support Brandon would seriously do well in North Korea

@washingtonpost

Last week, a @washingtonpost Fact Checker reached out to me to “fact check” @GovRonDeSantis statement opposing the DOJ memo, which threatens to silence concerned parents exercising First Amendment rights.

WaPo “fact-check” essentially accused Gov. DeSantis of making things up:

@washingtonpost

Here’s the beginning of my response. I just thought it was important not to accept the framing of the @washingtonpost “fact check” on its face.

Media are supposed to challenge regime narratives, not enforce them. Democracy dies in darkness, right? 😅

@washingtonpost

And here’s where I explained very clearly to @washingtonpost — providing receipts — that the Garland DOJ memo was prompted by the NSBA letter calling parents “domestic terrorists” and urging the federal government to prosecute speech under the Patriot Act. 👇

The experience of living in a communist country (or post Soviet country) gives people some vital survival skills that Americans might want to learn in preparation for the next 3 years of #EmptyShelvesJoe.

The first one: Stop trusting state media. Mock it instead.

Second: Find a doctor who follows the science and respects medical freedom. Remember to check them out on social media before choosing a doctor, to make sure they aren’t political activists who will put partisanship over your health.

Third: Pay attention to what your kids are learning in school. Depending on where in the country you live, you might have to teach them everything yourself or find other alternatives.

Today, there was an election in the country Georgia, which became independent from the USSR 30 years ago. GDP is $16 billion, more than 1000 times less than the USA’s. Average yearly income is ~$2,000. Yet EVERY voter is REQUIRED to show photo ID. & no one has a problem with it.

So if you think it’s too “expensive” or “complicated” to get an ID here… voters in foreign countries, far less privileged than any American, are able to navigate MORE bureaucratic systems than ours. No one complains about voter ID because they don’t want to be accused of fraud.

PS: Georgians only have one Election Day — they do not have weeks of “universal early voting” and there’s no vote-by-mail. Mobile ballot boxes are brought to homebound people on E-Day. COVID is there too, but it didn’t change the basic parameters of election administration.
