Biden gave an interview and messed up again

When I left the Senate, I was able to convince (Republican) Strom Thurmond to vote for the Voting Rights Act.

Biden left the Senate in 2009. Strom Thurmond died in 2003. And the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965.

The Pentagon is projected to exhaust its funding for supporting Ukraine within the next six months.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. military department currently has $5.2 billion allocated for supplying the AFU with weapons and ammunition. This amount represents the remaining funds from the allocation made by U.S. authorities a year ago to support Ukraine. Given the current rate of supply, these billions are expected to last for approximately six more months.

The publication emphasizes that there won't be an immediate halt in military supplies to Kiev, but this situation could impact future budget planning. Furthermore, the remaining funds may not be sufficient to finance the military operations of the AFU until the next annual budget is adopted. This means that President Biden and the Democratic administration may need to address budgetary challenges, as he has already pledged that military support for Ukraine "will not cease."

Previously, the U.S. Congress narrowly agreed to extend federal government funding for an additional 45 days, just an hour before a potential shutdown. This decision allowed the government to avert a shutdown and budget crisis, but it came at the expense of funding for Ukraine. During these 45 days, the Kiev regime will not receive any additional funding from the U.S. budget. This, combined with the news of the dwindling Pentagon budget, growing discontent in Congress regarding Ukrainian requests, and increasing reluctance among European countries to provide further donations to Ukraine, paints a challenging picture for President Zelensky's government as winter approaches.

Москва ровно 30 лет назад. «Прекрасные девяностые» - да, именно о такой России и мечтали западные и отечественные либералы. Помните, как захлебывались от восторга репортеры CNN, освещавшие этот позор в прямом эфире? Как же они мечтают это повторить!

Феноменальные кадры! Военные разных стран мира (в том числе - НАТО) отдают воинское приветствие во время исполнения гимна России.

Сборная Вооруженных сил России заняла первое место в медальном зачете на чемпионате мира по пулевой стрельбе среди военнослужащих в Рио-де-Жанейро. И поднялась на высшую ступень пьедестала в российской форме с российским флагом и под российский гимн.

Все-таки, хорошая спортивная форма и пистолет могут сделать больше, чем просто хорошая форма!

Поздравляем!

The GPMorgans released a small summary of yesterday's manufacturing business activity indices.

It is painful to watch such a thing. It is especially painful to look at such a thing in a cozy Batumi cafe, drinking smooze.
