Committee Meetings of the City of Independence.

@PM_ViktorOrban @ZelenskyyUa You overthrew Russian communism, now doing Russian dictatorship's bidding, a shameful legacy. Your gross anti-Semitic campaign frequently mentioning a Jewish President of another country as a bogeyman won't work, Hungarians are know your policies are the campaign, not his.

🇭🇺 We overthrew communism. We fought for our freedom. We built a Christian, family-oriented, patriotic nation. And now @ZelenskyyUa and the Brusselians think we will back down? Don’t be ridiculous.

@HeerJeet Kerry's service was blotted by his turning on his own comrades in arms, lying about discarding his medals, & joining the pro-communist Vietnam opposition, supporting the Reds war. His hypocrisy did him in. Gore & McCain's military records never were questioned, both served well.

The US has elected three presidents who evaded service in Vietnam War (Clinton, Bush, Trump). It has repeatedly rejected candidates who served in Vietnam with distinction (Gore, Kerry, McCain). The logical conclusion is US public doesn't care about this stuff. Maybe they should, but they don't.

@Mapedog216 @MrCleveland_216 Modell was a terrible businessman, constantly under capitalized. He was a Schaffer Beer salesman w/ wealthy friends. He put in $10k to buy the Browns, that was all he could spare. He rooked several other investors. He fired Paul Brown, creating the Bengals. Not a top notch owner.

@MrCleveland_216 He begged you for help for years and you chose not to. Be accountable

March 21, 1961: Browns Sold🏈 Arthur B. Modell buys the Cleveland Browns Art parlayed his own $ w/ partners to buy team It’s all been said: dubious decisions & bad businessman, but I still say he really did want to win; but in the end - betrayed city broke our🤎🧡’s #Art

@ChrisDJackson President Biden was aging rapidly, he even told Democratic Governors that his solution was to work from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. As President of the USA? Be honest w/ yourself, he was no longer up to the job & was embarrassing himself frequently. Dems had no choice but to replace.

Every day I watch the chaos in this country and think about how many people got it completely wrong on Joe Biden, especially Democrats and the media. Democrats turned on him and bought into a manufactured narrative, while the press trashed stability, mocked experience, and helped normalize a convicted felon… and now act like none of it happened. A lot of people owe him an apology. Anyone else feel this anger? 🤷

@TheCalvinCooli1 I can't believe some of these obtuse responses. There was very little evidence to go on & the individual(s) who sent the demand letters couldn't produce any evidence that they held Mrs. Guthrie or that she was alive. The longer it goes the less likely she is alive, sadly.

What happened to the Nancy Guthrie Saga? She was on the TV 24/7 for two straight weeks. It was day and night coverage non-stop Now, you can't even find it on page 10, and it isn't even in the D Tier in terms of news coverage So what happened? She is still missing, her daughter has returned to the morning show, and the sheriff is facing a recall effort. There is a lot from this story that I am simply not buying one bit. You mean to tell me the FBI and the local sheriff's office have no idea about what is happening and don't have any suspects, and have no leads? Something isn't adding up here. What happened to the ransom letter the family got where they had to pay with Bitcoin? What happened to that footage of the individual on her doorstep? What happened to the letters that TMZ was getting? To me feels like we never know what really happened here. Why wasn't the entire family polygraphed? And yes there are darker conspiracy theories To me, I put this entire saga right up there with the COVID-19 pandemic and the BLM Riots in terms of propaganda and being fed a false story. For Nancy, she is either living in a hotel in Mexico or she is six feet under the ground What do you think really happened here?

A recycling and repair fair today at the Independence Civic Center 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

@makeukgood Don't boil lobsters, but allow human developing children to be killed in the mother's womb, that is just jim dandy. You have to love the illogic of the Left.

Aim high, vote Lowe. Let's restore Britain and our culture. Back in December, they mentioned that boiling lobsters alive was to be banned in England amid an animal cruelty crackdown. But Halal slaughter isn't even being banned? It's even more cruel than Lobsters being bloody boiled. #RestoreBritain #Amelia #British #Britain

@geraldposner Bernie the JINO. I had low expectations of someone who honeymooned in the Russian Soviet dictatorship, & they have been met. He is a danger to national security in so many ways, mostly tolerant of the largest threats against civilization.

Iran’s mullahs couldn’t design a more useful voice in the West if they tried. Plenty echo their narratives—but only one does it as a sitting U.S. Senator, with the added shield of being Jewish: Bernie Sanders. He’s gone from preaching socialist economics to lecturing on “genocide” and “international law” while advancing rhetoric that benefits Tehran and Hamas. Now it’s just self-righteous noise—and smart people are done listening.

@RepLuna How an elected US official can support the Russian dictatorship, cater to the bloody murderers, repeat their lies, shill for their nefarious plots is just really tragic. Please, come over to the American side. We don't support brutal dictators, that is the American way.

I am starting to see an orchestrated media campaign to increase tension with Russia via planted sources. The U.S. and this admin is still very involved in peace talks with Russia regarding Ukraine and that is not going to be sabotaged by ANYONE. I am informing the American people on this as there is a ton of information circulating right now and some of it is false regarding this topic.

@front_ukrainian Utterly disgusting. How do you trust a known murderous liar? Recall the fraudulent attempt to pretend there was an assassination attempt against Putin by Ukraine. That was a vicious lie. Everything the scum says is a lie.

🥴Trump stated that he trusts Vladimir Putin more than any of the European allies of the United States. “Putin has also shown that at the moment he is not afraid of Europe or our European allies. He said that he has clearly expressed more trust in Putin than in any of our European allies,” reported journalist from MS NOW.

Only in the distorted minds of the Russians. NATO expansion is voluntary, RUS hasn't invaded any NATO countries. If they were so worried about it, they would have invaded a NATO signatory. NATO exists because of the rotten, murdering Russians & has protected innocent people since '49. The 2014 Revolution against the pro-Russian gov't was backed by the President's same political party, so that is another Kremlin lie. And, violating UKR's borders after agreeing to them is unexplainable, it is just raw RUS aggression. Ask Gorbachev, he stated plainly there was never any agreement on NATO expansion, these nations don't want to be re-invaded by Russia, they deserve NATO protection, and NATO has never attacked nor threatened Russia, it is the other way around.

You keep calling everything “Kremlin lies” while ignoring facts. NATO expansion and Western interference didn’t start in 2022. 2014 wasn’t “just an invasion” — it followed a Western-backed political shift in Kyiv. That’s when the conflict actually began. And yes, agreements existed — but they were broken on multiple sides, not just by Russia. Donbas civilians were under fire for years, and no one cared until it fit a narrative. Volodymyr Zelenskyy could have implemented peace agreements but didn’t. Blaming everything on Vladimir Putin might be convenient, but it’s not the full story.

As early as a year ago, we proposed a Drone Deal to the United States of America, because it is our key partner. The agreement is not only about interceptor drones. First and foremost, it includes naval drones and long-range drones that have been proven in the war. It also includes a package for the exchange of critical knowledge, training, and so on. I am very interested in signing this agreement with our close partner – the United States of America. So when President Trump is ready, I will definitely be ready. Our negotiating team will discuss this issue at the meeting in the United States. From a conversation with journalists (2/3).

@OnlyUnexpected1 @ZelenskyyUa Please, stop w/ the Kremlin lies. Russia is completely & singularly responsible for this war, broke 9 agreements that they confirmed the borders of Ukraine going back to 1991. RUS invaded in '14 w/ FSB agents & Wagner Group, all their fault.

You’re just repeating Western propaganda like a parrot. This war didn’t start overnight. NATO kept expanding east for years and no one talks about that. Vladimir Putin warned multiple times, nobody listened. People were dying in Donbas for years where were you then? Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a chance for peace but chose escalation instead. If you don’t want to see reality, that’s your problem.

@OnlyUnexpected1 @ZelenskyyUa You mean LIE like Russia. No, Zelenskyy is not a mass murdering liar like Putin who never tells the truth & is responsible for every death, wounded person in this war & all the destruction he has inflicted upon innocent people. RUS is yellow, shameful, not strong.

@ZelenskyyUa Russia can’t even trade in USD and still complains less than you. What kind of constant whining is this? At this point, stop dragging Ukraine down and learn how to stand strong like Russia.

@_MAGA_NEWS_ This is false & misleading at best. USA is not using Javelins, 155 mm shells, tanks, APCs in Iran. We did not transfer long range missiles, UAVs, modern planes. Congress spent funds to replenish all these supplies, none of which are needed in Ukraine. Just baloney here.

🚨ALERT: In a bombshell revelation, U.S. Secretary of War disclosed that "the Biden administration depleted American stockpiles and sent them to Ukraine instead of keeping them for our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to Well, we sent it to Ukraine."

@ChristopherJM Utterly deplorable that the USA could even think about rewarding this monstrous dictator for all the bloodshed & harm he has facilitated to be caused. Completely un-American; we should be forcing Lukashenko & Putin to capitulate, not reward them for their ghastly crimes.

Worth noting that Lukashenko has allowed Russian troops to invade Ukraine from Belarus, has allowed Putin to transform Belarus into an extension of Russia's military base, and to launch missile strikes from Belarusian territory. He has granted Russia permission deploy nuclear-capable missiles, including the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile, to Belarus.

@RpsAgainstTrump NATO is a treaty organization, the USA routinely doesn't send high ranking officials to meetings. NATO wasn't consulted or included on the plans for military action prior to the start of hostilities. There was no coalition building a la Bush I & Bush II. Take note, value allies.

Trump: Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran…COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!

The harshest Winter in many years is over, welcome Spring, 2026!

@BohuslavskaKate So tired of this lameness. Blame Ukraine for everything while letting Russia & Belarus get away with murder. Blame the victim for getting invaded. This is a terrible US policy, it is embarassing and allowing innocent lives to be taken. We know that Russia is the problem, not UKR.

Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.'" It looks like they’re just going to blame Ukraine whenever anything goes wrong now, doesn’t it? It’s depressing to watch because while this administration will eventually leave office, a segment of Americans will keep hating Ukraine without even remembering why.

Another gift to the Russian enemy. Belarus is the conduit for Russia to avoid sanctions. Lukeshanko's dictatorship is committed to be Moscow's partner in crime, now they (& Russia) are rewarded for their crimes. RUS has 360K troops in their client state & nuclear weapons. reuters.com/world/europe/b…
