Operation Ukrainian Liberty

It's time to throw away the metrics used to measure whether the U.S./NATO/EU response to the war in Ukraine is a success. At this point, the only metric that matters is whether Ukraine's military is throwing Putin's military out of Ukraine. While it's true that some sanctions are helping the Ukrainian military, the only true thing that matters is whether Putin's troops are thrown out of Ukraine.

Anyone thinking that Putin will call it a career after retaking Ukraine haven't studied him. They haven't paid attention to him recently, either. Putin wants Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland back in Russia's federation, most likely within the next 5 years.

The Biden administration continues clinging to their strawman argument against a no-fly zone. That's ancient history. There's a growing bipartisan (and bicameral) support for sending the MiG-29 jets from Poland to Ukraine. Additionally, this bipartisan group is pushing for beefing up air defense systems to protect Ukraine, especially Kyiv, from Russian airstrikes.

The newest option getting discussed by former generals on TV is the Russian S-300. Here's what Gen. Keith Kellogg told Fox News:

Speaking on Fox News, Keith Kellogg, formerly the national security advisor to Vice President Mike Pence, remarked that if the West won’t let Ukraine have additional MiG fighter jets to fend off Russian attackers, they should seek projectile-based help from certain NATO-member countries.

The general said two Balkan countries, Greece and Bulgaria, along with fellow NATO member Slovakia, all have S300 missile technology that itself was originally designed by Moscow.

Let's stop Putin immediately. The Russian military is demoralized. The Ukrainian military is understaffed but willing. They just need some additional equipment, equipment that NATO has.

All that's missing is a U.S. commander-in-chief, aka CinC, who's willing to say yes to victory. We've got a CinC who's willing to be supercautious. (He's been that way for 50 years.) Here's the Keith Kellogg interview:

There's no reason why U.S./NATO shouldn't be arming Ukraine to the teeth and unleashing the dogs. The upside is high. The downside is virtually non-existent. It's time to stop being cautious. It's time for winning.

It's time for Operation Ukrainian Liberty.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
