Serious question. Is the Biden negative test requirement still in place for Americans fleeing Ukraine this weekend? “Sorry your test is positive, you’re stranded in a war zone”
There’s one direct flight a day from Ukraine’s capital to NYC. Can’t even remember how many times I have taken that flight. At the airport in Kyiv there is a separate line for the USA flight; they check your documents right there to ensure you have permission to enter the USA.
And if you DO NOT have a required document, like a US visa or green card, you can’t board the plane. You are stuck at Borispol Airport. Given the Biden COVID test requirements, a negative rapid test would be a required document like a visa as far as I know.
If I were in Ukraine as an American citizen this weekend, I would not take my chances with the flights to the USA — I’d just drive to Poland as fast as possible and figure out my next move there. Crazy if Poland is more welcoming to Americans than America is, but 🤷🏼♀️
Think about it. Our government is telling Americans to leave Ukraine NOW. Yet you have to look around for a rapid COVID test place where they have appointments open, make appointment, wait for appointment, wait for result, book flight—how long does that take? Just drive to Poland
Yes there are a lot of places to get COVID tests in Kyiv. But what happens when everyone is trying to leave at once? Hard to get an appointment right. Someone should ask @StateDeptSpox about this conundrum. It’s urgent.

This isn’t the point Jon wanted to make, but since he brought up Georgia, can we talk about how the international approach of ONLY delivering vaccines (and no treatments) to developing countries cost lives? My Georgian friends had never heard of mAbs, this is a shame.
And before someone informs me that we don’t have enough mAbs for Americans, I know that. It’s a travesty. And it could have been prevented if the federal government had focused on doing everything in their power to increase the supply for the last year.
Sorry but I am not going to silently accept the gaslighting from the same “experts” who assured the world that lockdowns, greenpass and mask mandates would stop COVID, and that treatments weren’t necessary. Eastern Europe listened. And… Eastern Europeans died of poverty. & COVID
More power projection by elite Democrats who aren’t afraid of anything, but want to keep you terrified & your kids compliant.
- immunocompromised HIV patient with LA Mayor
- Oregon Governor, whose state has a permanent mask mandate
- Texas Democrats flying maskless
And let’s not forget California’s own Eric Swalwell, pictured in the lobby of a South Beach hotel with his unvaccinated baby and no masks anywhere in sight (indicating he didn’t just take it off to drink). Lockdown Libs LOVE the Free State of Florida 😁👏
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
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:
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? 😅
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. 👇
