Republicans on Capitol Hill found themselves in an awkward but familiar spot this week: being asked to respond to yet another controversy sparked by Donald Trump.
This time it was the former president’s urging Vladimir Putin to release dirt on the Biden family as the Russian president wages a bloody and devastating war in Ukraine that has killed thousands of civilians and displaced millions more.
Trump’s request twisted congressional Republicans into a political pretzel: GOP lawmakers have been pushing President Joe Biden to get more aggressive in helping Ukraine combat Putin, whom they’ve called a “thug” and a “murderer,” but now Republicans are being asked why their party's de facto leader is making a direct appeal to Putin, whom he has recently praised as "savvy" and a "genius."

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Hunter Biden keeps getting richer and richer with his nefarious dealings with China and perhaps other countries... and no one does anything...
And yet on an opposite tac...
I remember when Trump was in office we were a net exporter of oil and natural gas and the price at the pump for gasoline was $2.39 per gallon...Borders were secure, and the economy outstanding... Now, under JB, our borders are basically open to any and all, and we don't know who has come in or where they are. Gasoline is running about $4.19 per gallon in SW FL, but as high as $5.99 per gallon in some states (and perhaps higher), and our economy is in a state of negative flux, with increased prices on goods and services, and of course foods... Inflation is just about 7% and our purchasing power has decreased accordingly... Yet the MSM still attacks Trump anyway it can, and He has been out of office for over a year now...
Maybe at some point we can all get our heads around what is really happening, before we, as a Country, are subordinate to China or some other Country... Let's pull it together folks...and protect our Country and its resources for our grandchildren, who will be paying for the mess we are in now... Just saying...from an old man's viewpoint...

LTC George Morgan - There is no disinformation on what I stated, apparently you did not read my full comments as I cited what the current gasoline price is in SW Florida (Fort Myers area). Some states may have differing gasoline tax rate structures resulting in a slightly lower pump price. Other locales may have higher tax rate structures resulting in higher prices, like Los Angeles where regular gas is $5.999 per gallon, The $5.999 price in LAX is the highest I have found thus far...and there are some areas of the country that are lower that what I pay in the Fort Myers, FL area... That doesn't make what I stated disinformation, my friend...
I watched the Post above and it is a video posting by a MSM News outlet, slanted to show the GOP in a negative light while reinforcing the left, in my view. (I was a DEM earlier in my adult life, and saw the light.) As for January 6th, Trump may have initiated a peaceful protest, but in my view, there were radicals that infiltrated the protest into the planned fiasco that was reported on... There are many views on this, but I saw nothing that indicates to me that January 6th was intended as a violence based occurrence... I generally look at all views before writing anything on social media and what I stated is the view I have on my response above...

Inflation has many other factors. Your source material is bias. Evidently you dislike our current commander in chief

Don’t listen to the news Hunter Biden is under investigation by the pro trump lawyer the Biden himself left in place to appease trump groupies. Funny how you ignore that fact. Gas went that low under trump because nobody was buying it or traveling, again a fact you have forgotten.
Prices now are high because of inflation and the oil company and OPEC profit taking another fact you failed to acknowledge.
Quick run to you pro trump web sites and blame the democrats on the orgies and cocaine use like nut case cawthorne.
It is amazing how the pro trump groupies on this site see no wrong with the prophet.
You can nothing to disprove these facts. Biden is by no means perfect but he did help unit NATO the same group trump wanted to disband.so his pee buddy can take over Europe.

MSgt Michael Bischoff - It is amazing how you Pro Biden yokels continually fail to see the larger picture as more and more of our Constitutional rights are being infringed upon and how the citizenry of our Country are becoming more and more dominated by the people elected to lead on the Citizenry's behalf! Under Critical Race theory being pushed on our teachers to teach them what is WRONG with white people and their way of life... Note this from "Alliance Defending FREEDOM":
- "Students in some public schools are being indoctrinated in the teachings of a radical ideology sometimes called “critical theory” or “critical race theory.”
- Children are being told they are “oppressed” or an “oppressor” based solely on the color of their skin.
- Children are being told that the American system of government must be replaced.
And critical theory cynically views inherent rights and freedoms—like free speech—as mere tools for the “powerful” to control the “oppressed.” Dissent from these race-based indoctrination programs is punished."
There seems to be no end in sight to the downward spiral of our Republic and as a once staunch Democrat, I saw the light, what was wrong, and Hightailed it to become a political Independent in support of the Constitution of the United States and Freedom of our Republic and not the radical ideas of the far far left... Just adding my two cents worth...

We do not need Vladimir Putin, we have Tony Bobulinsky, his testimony, and his three cell phones as proof of the nefarious things that Hunter Biden did and giving 10% to the big guy.
The pro-Biden media are finally admitting that they censored it and made a false information protect the big guy from losing the election. One in six Democrats would have changed their votes had they known about this affair.
When I was at Fort Sam Houston in 2018, I remember seeing NBC news say at before commercials, see how President Trump is going to raise your gas prices. He actually lowered them but the media always says the opposite.
