Volodymyr Zelenskyy's leadership

Just when there seemed like a leadership shortage on the international stage, that leadership arrived bigtime. I wish it'd been Joe Biden but that would've required Divine intervention. Then again, I'm a firm believer in Divine intervention.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy stepped into that leadership void without hesitation. When Ukraine needed leadership the most, that's what Zelenskyy supplied. Saturday morning, Zelenskyy provided inspiration when Ukraine needed it most.

Rumors had circulated that President Zelenskyy would flee Ukraine once the going got difficult. That didn't happen. President Zelenskyy took to social media to tell his fellow countrymen that he wasn't going anywhere.

At this point, Ukraine is surviving because of President Zelenskyy's leadership, and Ukrainians' fierce patriotism. They're surviving despite Joe Biden's decisions. Last March, when Russia amassed 70,000 troops on Ukraine's border, Biden should've sold Ukraine Javelin anti-tank missiles, night vision goggles and whatever other hardware Ukraine wanted to buy.

Biden should've announced that the U.S. was ramping up energy production again, with the intent of selling the excess production to Europe. If AOC and Bernie complain about that, tough. Ask them if it's more important to strengthen our economy, lower inflation and cut off financing to the Russian bear than it is to fix a minor challenge that we're already making progress on.

President Zelenskyy summed things up this way:

Volodymyr Zelensky reaffirmed his commitment to fight against the Russian invasion at a news briefing in the Ukrainian capital, refusing an American offer to evacuate. "The fight is here," he said.
This is the face of another portrait in leadership:

It's time for the U.S. to stand up and help the Ukrainian people. Ukrainians are effectively fighting the Russian bear. In the words of Ukraine's leader, he needs ammunition, not a ride. The U.S. should expedite (that means to move swiftly) shipments of lethal military aid to Ukraine before the end of the weekend.

Whether Joe Biden orders that from Delaware or from the White House, this lethal military aid is required immediately. A ton of urgency is required to save the freedom-loving people of Ukraine. They don't have a month.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
