Donald Trump's dishonest Truth Social post

While I'm officially impressed with what President Trump has accomplished in his first 30 days in office, I can't say that he's been totally honest in that time. this Truth Social post from President Trump definitely isn't the "Truth."

In President Trump's posting on Truth Social, President Trump wrote "Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation.

On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues….."

First, President Zelenskyy didn't "go into a War that couldn’t be won." Russian President Putin invaded Ukraine. That isn't a sloppy misstatement. That's intentional. Next, this war was, at one point, was quite winnable for Ukraine. Before the war, Gen. Milley predicted that Russia would occupy Kiev in less than a week. Reality? Almost 3 years into the war, Russian forces still haven't set foot in Kiev.

Joe Biden tried getting President Zelenskyy out iof the country. Zelenskyy told him he didn't "need a ride." He said he needed ammunition. Does that sound like a man who thinks this was unwinnable? This report is accurate:

Trump shooting his mouth off is disappointing. His misstatements have nothing to do with the truth. Further, if President Reagan was in office, he would've gotten Zelenskyy would've gotten the weapons he needed in expedited fashion. As for Russia being this invincible war-fighting machine, I'd argue the opposite. After Russia's invasion, it was discovered that a high percentage of Russia's soldiers were untrained conscripts. That's Trump's description of unwinnable? God help us if it is.

Trump is a pacifist who hates war. That's fine to an extent but it isn't realistic. Russia's night-fighting capabilities are limited and their tanks are a joke. Throw in the troops and the Russians' supply shortage and the Russians sound more than defeatable. It sounds to me that Trump is more interested in making a quick deal than in defeating a defeatable enemy without sending in a single U.S. soldier.

Trump isn't as awful as Biden but he's no Reagan, either. Give me President Reagan any day of the week.

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...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...
