Biden Regime Sends $325 Million More in Security Aid to Ukraine, Following $2.1 Billion Arm Aid Sent 4 Days Earlier

In another move symptomatic of its overly aggressive foreign policy stance, the Biden regime has once again invested a substantial amount of US taxpayer money into Ukraine’s ceaseless conflict with Russia.

This Tuesday, Biden approved his 40th military aid package for Ukraine, $325 million, bringing the total US aid to the country a staggering $40 billion since the start of the invasion in February 2022.

“[Package] includes key capabilities to aid Ukraine’s efforts to retake its sovereign territory and support Ukraine’s air defenders as they bravely protect Ukraine’s soldiers, civilians, and critical infrastructure, as well as artillery, anti-armor systems, and ammunition valued at up to $325 million,” according to the news release.

The capabilities in this package include:

Additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);

Stinger anti-aircraft systems;

Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);

155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;

15 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles;

10 Stryker Armored Personnel Carriers;

Javelin anti-armor systems;

Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;

AT-4 anti-armor systems;

Over 22 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenades;

Demolition munitions for obstacle clearing;

Tactical secure communications support equipment;

Spare parts and other field equipment.

This latest chunk of money comes only four days after a whopping $2.1 billion package of military support was sent to Ukraine.

This underlines how the administration prefers spending much money on a war in another country rather than focusing on urgent domestic issues.

While the White House statement has proclaimed that the new package includes “key capabilities to aid Ukraine’s efforts to retake its sovereign territory and support Ukraine’s air defenders,” the regime seems blind to the potential for escalation this level of intervention could provoke.

The insistence on continuing to fan the flames of the conflict with these substantial aid packages is arguably contributing to a volatile and potentially dangerous situation on the ground in Ukraine.

Earlier this year, Putin fired back, warning that Moscow’s response to the threat would go far beyond armored vehicles as the delivery of Western-made tanks to Ukraine looms.

“Those who expect to win a victory against Russia on the battlefield don’t understand that modern-day war with Russia will turn out totally differently for them,” Putin said.

“We aren’t sending tanks to their borders, but we have the means to fight back and they won’t be limited to armor. Everyone should understand this,” he warned.

Moreover, the timing of these vast monetary infusions into Ukraine’s military endeavors raises questions about the regime’s priorities. With numerous pressing issues facing Americans at home, from health care to economic recovery, border crisis, drugs, and job creation, many will question whether this costly international intervention truly serves the best interests of the American people.

Instead of promoting diplomatic resolution and peace negotiations, the Biden regime appears to be taking a stance that favors an aggressive military response.

CDC director: Getting 'hit by a truck' after COVID vax must be reported to vax injury system

Often criticized for making far-fetched COVID claims, Walensky turns heads in heated exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in CDC guidance hearing.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has faced recurring criticism for two years for overstating the power of COVID-19 vaccines, going so far as to claim that clinical trials and "real-world data" showed that "vaccinated people do not carry the virus," which her agency walked back a few days later.

She made another claim that puzzled observers at a House Oversight Coronavirus Pandemic Subcommittee hearing Tuesday, about what must be reported to the federal government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) noted that COVID vaccines were the subject of more than 700,000 VAERS reports in 2021 compared to about 14,000 for the next-most reported vaccine, for shingles. The Biden administration imposed large employer and federal contractor COVID vaccine mandates that fall.

Laughing incredulously, Walensky said VAERS was designed for "over-reporting" because anyone can submit a report and that "untoward event[s]" aren't necessarily vaccine-related.

But she also nodded toward mandatory reporting requirements by healthcare providers and vaccine makers. "If you got hit by a truck after you got your vaccine, that was reported" to VAERS, which is why officials "comb through" every report "to see if they are related," Walensky told Greene.

In some circumstances, reporting a truck injury would seem to be required under the COVID vaccine section of the FAQ page for VAERS. It requires mandatory reporters to submit all serious adverse events, which include death, "life-threatening" reactions, inpatient hospitalization and "substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions."

The CDC and Department of Health and Human Services, which runs VAERS, did not respond to requests to comment on Walensky's response to Greene.

‘This Is Election Interference Like We’ve Never Seen It Before” – VIDEO: Kari Lake Joins RAV Hosts Ed Henry and Karyn Turk Outside Courthouse in Miami

Kari Lake joined Real America’s Voice hosts Ed Henry and Karyn Turk outside the Miami Courthouse today prior to President Trump’s arraignment on more junk charges by the criminal Biden regime.

Every legitimate Republican politician should be standing outside that courthouse today. We are losing our country and a majority of the Republicans don’t seem to give a damn.

Kari Lake told the RAV audience what this is really about, “This is election interference like we’ve never seen it before.”

Kari Lake: We need to show President Trump that we’ve got his back. He has had our back since he came down that escalator almost eight years to the date. …And they have thrown everything at him. A witch hunt, impeachment, hoax number one, impeachment hoax number two, Russia-gate. It’s really just an effort to continue to disparage the one man who is standing up for we, the people. We need a president who’s going to stand up for the people. He’s not owned by the donor class. He’s not owned by the lobbyists. He’s not owned by the establishment. He is working for us. and we’re here to support him and tell him, we know what this is. It’s another witch hunt. We know he’s an innocent man and we’re here to support him. And by the way, this is one of the most beautiful settings I’ve ever seen. The love here. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people here.

FLASHBACK: Biden Promised to Use His Power to Prevent Trump From Returning to White House

As Donald Trump faces charges from the Biden administration over his possession of classified documents, many of his supporters and advocates have pointed out how the administration’s actions parallel corruption long associated with third-world dictatorships.

And yet, during a press conference last November, Joe Biden actually promised he would do exactly that when asked about Trump’s possible return to the White House.

“So the entire genesis of that G7 conversation was tied to your predecessor, who is about to launch another campaign. So how do you reassure them, if that is the reason for their questioning, that the former president will not return or that his political movement, which is still very strong, will not… once again take power in the United States?” a reporter asked Biden.

“Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run,” Biden said. “I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next president again.”

Make no mistake about it. This was clearly a thinly-veiled threat to use the federal government’s power to prevent Trump from becoming president again. Democrats tried twice with two impeachment attempts and failed. Now, Donald Trump has been indicted for mishandling classified documents, something both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have done, yet have avoided being held accountable.

“None of them came into possession of those documents while they were president,” Trump attorney and spokeswoman Alina Habba explained. Hillary Clinton only served as secretary of state, and Joe Biden obtained and retained classified documents as a U.S. senator and vice president. “None of them were president—who, as the head and sole member of the executive branch—has the power to summarily declassify documents. The decision to pursue charges against President Trump while turning a blind eye to others is an emblematic of the corruption that we have here.”

Habba noted that targeting “a leading political opponent is the type of thing you see in dictatorships like Cuba and Venezuela,” where it is “commonplace there for rival candidates to be prosecuted, persecuted and put into jail.”

And yet, months ago, Joe Biden bragged about doing exactly that. He didn’t express confidence that Trump would lose in a free and fair election; he said he’d use the power of the government to stop Trump.

Let that sink in for a minute.

Trump Indictment: Israeli Intelligence Fears Ex-president Compromised Top Secret Intel

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to classified documents charges ■ Among hundreds of documents removed from the White House were most probably references to Iran and Israel

Top brass in the Israeli defense establishment, particularly in the IDF Intelligence Corps and the Mossad espionage agency, are concerned that secret documents seized from former U.S. President Donald Trump include material whose exposure has damaged Israel’s security.

Last week Trump was indicted for allegedly having more than 300 classified documents in his possession without permission or authority. Trump was arrested and appeared in federal court in Miami on Tuesday on the indictment – the first time that an American president has been indicted on federal charges.

‘It’s an absolutely reasonable possibility that some of the documents are about Israel and its capabilities.’

He pleaded not guilty to allegations including deliberately concealing classified documents, concealing information relating to national security, refusing to return a classified document, involvement in a plot to conceal information, obstruction of justice and making a false statement.

The first batch of papers was provided after illegal delays to the National Archives in January 2022. A second batch was returned to the Justice Department by Trump’s aides. A third cache was confiscated in an FBI raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August, while an additional small quantity of papers was found in other searches last year. Some of the documents allegedly taken by Trump were classified at the most restrictive level – Top Secret/Special Handling.

Two weeks ago, the New York Times reported that the FBI had obtained a 2021 recording in which Trump described a classified military document that he had kept at his golf club in New Jersey after leaving the White House. Two sources told the newspaper that Trump is heard on the recording complaining about the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, who at the time was described in the American media as the person who had prevented Trump from attacking Iran in his final days as president. In the recording, Trump reportedly said that the document was written by Milley and related to an attack on Iran, according to the sources.

The documents allegedly taken by Trump are sowing major confusion among America’s allies.

Navy veteran Walt Nauta, who worked as Trump’s valet – a personal assistant at the White House and later as an assistant to the former president at Mar-a-Lago – is also charged in the case. According to the indictment, Trump ordered Nauta to move boxes of classified papers prior to the search of the premises and also directed the assistant not to tell his lawyer or the FBI.
