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.

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

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
