Fantastic news boys and girls and all others, someone is thankful for what uncle Joey has done for him! And thank the gods he’s not an American citizen lest Joey’s bullshit rhetoric of helping the ordinary, working Joe might be believed.
Zelensky Thanks Biden for Fresh $550M in Military Aid, Claiming Ukraine “Closer to Victory” – via zerohedge.com
Another Monday, and another massive military aid package for Ukraine approved by the Biden administration – this time with a price tag just over half-a-billion dollars.
“The United States is greenlighting another military assistance package to Ukraine, sending $550 million in ammunition for advanced rocket systems and other equipment to the country to fight the Russian invasion,” The Hill reports of the approved transfer. Ukraine’s President Zelensky was quick to thank the White House, curiously adding this brings the Ukrainian forces “closer to victory”.
The package is expected to include more ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, as well as mortar resupplies, including an estimated 75,000 rounds for 155 mm artillery.
For those keeping count, that’s north of $8 billion in total US assistance to Ukraine spread over the course of 17 packages so far since the Feb.24 Russian invasion.
Of course! Everything is jake here in the U.S. After all, our government psychofucks wouldn’t be sending $8B to Ukraine if things here were a bit awry, right?

Fauci Claims He Never Recommended Covid-19 Lockdowns – via theepochtimes.com
White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci claimed Monday that he never recommended “locking anything down” when pressed about what he would do differently regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
“First of all, I didn’t recommend locking anything down,” Fauci replied during an interview published by The Hill’s “Rising” program on Monday, suggesting it had been a recommendation from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
“Go back and look at my statements,” he added, “that we need to do everything we can to keep the schools open and safe.”
Although it’s unclear exactly what Fauci meant by lockdowns, in October 2020, Fauci had publicly recommended that former President Donald Trump “shut the whole country down,” although it’s not clear what he meant as presidents don’t have the authority to hand down sweeping lockdowns.
“When it became clear that we had community spread in the country … I recommended to the president that we shut the country down,” he said in an event with students at the College of the Holy Cross in October 2020.
If the United States didn’t “shut down completely the way China did,” then the spread of COVID-19 wouldn’t be stopped, Fauci continued to say at the time.
“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.” ―
