Are you getting tired yet, of you, your families and neighbors being put last???
You’re taxes, pensions, and the futures of your debt slaves children are being squandered at will, by this regime, that has happily sh*t on you and this country for 3 years and 10 months and told us all, with a straight face, it was a spa mud bath.
This article is no surprise, but there are some things in it, that you should read and take note of. I bolded the text for you.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Wednesday that the U.S. will send Ukraine an undisclosed number of medium-range cluster bombs and an array of rockets, artillery and armored vehicles in a military aid package totaling about $375 million; a U.S. official also said billions more in assistance over the coming months would be announced Thursday.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the $375 million package as global leaders met at the U.N. General Assembly this week and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used his appearance there to rally support. Zelenskyy will meet with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington on Thursday to continue his push to get them to allow his troops to use long-range weapon s to strike deeper into Russia.
The package announced by Blinken includes air-to-ground bombs, which have cluster munitions and can be fired by Ukraine’s fighter jets, as well as munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Javelin and other anti-armor systems, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, bridging systems and other vehicles and military equipment.
“The United States is committed to Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s brutal aggression,” Blinken said in a statement. “We will deploy this new assistance as quickly as possible to help Ukraine protect its territory and its people.”
The latest package of weapons, provided through presidential drawdown authority, is one of the largest approved recently and will take stocks from Pentagon shelves to deliver the weapons more quickly to Ukraine.
Let that sink in. Since this regime has been in office and started pumping money and munitions/equipment into this money laundering, replacement for Afghanistan, we’ve read article after article, about dwindling stocks of weapons systems and equipment, for our own military and troops. So if they have to pull these “off the shelf”, that means they can’t produce them quickly, so our shelves won’t be getting restocked anytime soon. Kind of like when he sold off the strategic oil and petrol reserves to foreign countries to include china, so he could have KJP talk about gas prices being lower last summer, by $0.20. - for a month.
It comes as nearly $6 billion in funding for aid to Ukraine could expire at the end of the month unless Congress acts to extend the Pentagon’s authority to send weapons from its stockpiles to Kyiv.
A U.S. official said, however, that the Biden administration is expected to notify Congress on Thursday of its intent to spend the remaining amount of money under presidential drawdown authority contained in the supplemental budget for Ukraine after the current fiscal year that ends Sept. 30.
That amount, $5.5 billion, must either be used or notified to Congress by Sept. 30 or be lost and returned to the Treasury.
So, for those who do not know how government spending and in particular, military spending works, this is the simple version. You’re given a certain amount of money, every fiscal year (your budget). This is true for the DoD as a whole, right down to a commander running a unit or team. If you don’t spend all the money, then the following year you’re allocated less, because you obviously didn’t need all of what you got the previous year. Of course no one wants that to happen, so your goal is to spend it all, no matter what it’s on - so long as it’s within the rules and regulations. That’s what’s going on here, with that paragraph above. When this article was written they were 5 days away from the deadline and scrambling to figure out how to justify spending it, so they wouldn’t lose it - or put another way - so $5.5B wouldn’t have to be given back to the treasury (basically the American people).
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to preview the expected move, said lawmakers would be told that the administration will spend the money in multiple aid packages that will be announced after Oct. 1, in the next budget year.
Ukrainian and Russian forces are battling in the east, including hand-to-hand combat in the Kharkiv border region where Ukraine has driven Russia out of a huge processing plant in the town of Vovchansk that had been occupied for four months, officials said Tuesday. At the same time, Ukrainian troops continue to hold ground in Russia’s Kursk region after a daring incursion there last month.
The aid announcement also came on the heels of Zelenskyy’s highly guarded visit on Sunday to a Pennsylvania ammunition factory to thank the workers who are producing 155 mm shells, one of the most critically needed munitions for his country’s fight to fend off Russian ground forces.
Including this latest package, the United States has provided more than $56.2 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russian forces invaded in February 2022.
And just to close the loop on the title of this post - The death toll of American citizens from Helene climbs, the economy is crashing for the commoners, the borders are still open, cities are going bankrupt having to support and service illegals, not to mention deal with the increased crime, drugs, rapes and murders and we have a drooling beach comber, a kackling moronic dumbass and a tampon pushing ccp candidate pretending to run the country. The only thing we are missing is a war and the last 3 years and 10 months may ensure, that we don’t miss out on that as well.
That dementia riddled senile old cunt can’t die quick enough for the country
I feel a I need to suggest a slight correction:
"Of course no one wants that to happen, so your goal is to spend it all, no matter what it’s on - so long as it’s within the rules and regulations."
You spend ca 5%-10% /more/ than your budget, while cutting back on actually-getting-stuff-done-positions by the same amount, every year.
That way, you can go over budget, show your political boss that despite having to stretch the budget you still managed to make it work, so that the politician can get you an even bigger budget for next year.
Rinse and repeat.
To ensure the smooth workings of this, make sure people indebted to or otherwise allied with your political patrons receive their kick-backs (f.e. prioritising hiring community organisers from key voter groups); that way, they too will lobby the politician to increase spending.
Always remember to CYA and GOIF, and you'll do just fine. You might even become the presidential candidate without a single nomination!
