In a virtual address before Congress Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the U.S. to ramp up its aid to Ukraine and implored President Biden to be a leader.

“Right now, the destiny of our country is being decided, the destiny of our people,” said Zelenskyy more than three weeks into his nation’s battle against an invading Russian military.

He received standing ovation from Congress when he began his speech from an undisclosed location in Kyiv, adding, “whether Ukrainians will be free, whether they will be able to save their democracy.”

 

The heroic Ukrainian president referenced the September 11 attacks and Pearl Harbor. He  told members of Congress that his nation and the world must fight back against tyranny..

Then in English at the end of his speech, he delivered a message directly to President Joe Biden directly: “President Biden, you are the leader of your great nation. I wish you to be the leader of the world. Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.”

He added, “I call on you to do more.”

    O’Biden is very cognitively impaired so Zelensky is whistling into the wind with such comments.

    Sara, all is not what it seems, what we are being told. Zelensky shutting out political opponents, embracing Nazis into his party, and more. Heard about this recently and last night on Tucker Carlson. Sara, we trust you. Please get to the bottom of this. Thank you!

    Президент воюющей за свою свободу и независимость Украины Зеленский не вправе требовать от США “закрыть небо над Украиной”, то есть вступить в боевые отношения с не признающим элементарные человеческие нормы и принципы бандитским режимом Путина. Но абсолютно правильная взвешенная позиция администрации президента США Байдена не должна быть причиной потери времени в предоставлении необходимого Украине тяжёлого вооружения. Иначе осваивать его будет некому.

Historic House Vote Expels Rep. George Santos Amidst Scandal

In a turn of events, the House of Representatives made history on Friday with a vote to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), marking the first such expulsion in over two decades. A moment fraught with gravity unfolded as Speaker Mike Johnson wielded his gavel to formalize Santos’ removal, setting a precedent in congressional annals.

Santos, indicted on 23 counts related to wire fraud, identity theft, and other charges, has not faced conviction but stands accused of misusing campaign funds for opulent purchases. The bipartisan vote, tallying 311 to 114, signaled robust support for expulsion, with a marginally higher number of Republicans opting to retain Santos.

Questions loomed as Speaker Johnson left the chamber, his silence leaving the fate of the ongoing government spending battle uncertain. According to reports from Fox News, Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer emphasized the non-partisan nature of the decision, asserting that members concluded Santos had tarnished the House’s reputation and was unfit for representation.

Within the GOP, conflicting opinions emerged, with Rep. Darrell Issa arguing against expulsion, citing the presumption of innocence. The tight-lipped stance of the House Ethics Committee played a pivotal role in the deliberations.

Conversely, members of the New York Republican delegation, led by Rep. Marc Molinaro, asserted Santos’ commission of crimes, justifying expulsion based on a comprehensive investigation.

Santos himself predicted the outcome in an exclusive morning interview on “FOX & Friends.” This vote not only underlines the House’s rare use of expulsion powers but also sets a critical precedent in handling members facing severe legal challenges.
