1/ Powerful interests in Russia are milking the war in Ukraine for profit and power, complains a Russian drone developer and blogger. He argues that the interests are indifferent to the loss of Russian lives and are ripping off the state defence procurement system. ⬇️
Hassett: If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the U.S. economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, but that's really the last of our concerns right now.
Not for nothing, but Eisenhower spent months planning for D-Day, had prepared for as many contingencies as possible, and then after all that, was prepared to take personal responsibility for failure. #Iran is nothing like that, @TomCottonAR
The Free State of Florida has set the standard for the rest of the country to follow because we have led with conviction and delivered results. To name just a few: - Delivered nearly $9.7 billion in tax relief - On track to pay down over 50% of state-supported debt - Enacted universal school choice, with approximately 1.4 million Florida students in a school choice program - Doubled the funding for cancer research - Made transformative investments in conservation and Everglades restoration - Enacted the nation’s strictest laws to crack down on illegal immigration, with more 287(g) agreements than any other state - Upheld law and order with our Anti-Riot Law, established harsher penalties for theft and trafficking, and instituted the death penalty for child rapists - Reconstituted the Florida State Guard - Increased pay for first responders, law enforcement, and teachers Results are what matter the most—and more than any other state, Florida has achieved them.

And the fraud CONTINUED, seemingly unabated in other areas until @nickshirleyy and Dave put in on blast in their video. The previous (quiet and discrete) prosecutions were the cover-up for Walz while he ran for VP. It was not justice, and it was the top of the iceberg which has only recently been exposed. This is not an adequate rebuttal to the outrage at the scope, breadth and depth of the fraud, the cover-up, and the fact that no politicians involved have faced the slightest degree of punishment. Respectfully submitted.
