Ukraine May Run Out of Air Defenses by May, Leaked Pentagon Documents Warn
Kyiv is depleting its last reserves of S-300 missiles, making it possible for Russia to achieve air superiority, according to purported Pentagon presentations
Russia could achieve its long-sought goal of air superiority in Ukrainian skies as early as May because Ukraine is running out of antiaircraft missiles, according to purported Pentagon presentations that have leaked on social media.
The Pentagon and the Justice Department began an investigation last week into document leaks when some purported U.S. Department of Defense presentations were posted by Russian propagandists on Telegram on Thursday. The Wall Street Journal, which viewed these documents and a larger trove that emerged on Friday, hasn’t been able to independently verify their authenticity.
Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said Sunday that the U.S. continued to assess the validity of the documents “that appear to contain sensitive and highly classified material.” She said the U.S. had discussed the matter with allies over the weekend and was weighing the potential national security impact of the breach.
Col. Yuri Ihnat, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, said that he couldn’t comment on the veracity of the information in the leaked slides as such data is classified in Ukraine. He confirmed, however, that Ukraine’s air defenses face a serious challenge and said that Ukraine urgently needs its Western partners to speed up assistance.
“If we lose the battle for the skies, the consequences for Ukraine will be very serious,” he said. “This is not the time to procrastinate.” After more than a year of war, he said, Ukraine faced a serious challenge finding the Soviet-designed ammunition for the backbone of its air-defense system, the S-300 and the Buk batteries.
Russian bombers and helicopter gunships haven’t ventured beyond the immediate vicinity of Ukraine’s front lines for nearly a year, after Ukraine’s air defenses shot down several aircraft in the initial weeks of the war. As a result, Russia has only been able to strike deep inside Ukraine with expensive cruise missiles and long-range Iranian drones, rather than the much more abundant and more powerful unguided bombs.
Ukraine’s air defense has also made it impossible for Russian aircraft to target moving Ukrainian convoys, troop concentrations and other military targets in the rear, offsetting Moscow’s vast superiority in the number and quality of combat aircraft.
If true, the alarming assessments in the leaked presentations shed new light on the urgency with which Kyiv has been lobbying the U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to speed up deliveries of Western-made air defense systems and to provide Ukraine with Western-made jet fighters, such as F-16s, so that it would be able to prevent incursions by Russian bombers.
According to one of the documents, a likely consequence of the looming air-defense crisis is that Ukraine will lose its ability to mass ground forces near the front lines, and to conduct a counteroffensive. Kyiv said it is planning to launch a massive offensive to recapture Russian-occupied territories in coming weeks, using several new reserve brigades trained and equipped by the U.S. and NATO partners.
So far, Ukraine has been successful in denying Russia the ability to use its manned aircraft deep inside Ukraine largely because of its network of Soviet-vintage long-range air-defense systems, primarily S-300 and Buk, which can intercept targets at altitudes above 20,000 feet.
However, according to a secret purported Pentagon slide dated Feb. 28, Ukraine will have completely depleted its stock of Buk missiles by April 13, and of S-300 missiles by May 3, at current consumption rates.
By then, according to a map in another purported Pentagon presentation, also from Feb. 28, most of Ukraine’s critical national infrastructure outside the Kyiv region and two other areas in southwestern Ukraine will no longer have air-defense cover. The number of unprotected critical sites will soar from six to more than 40, it said.
Russia has fired several hundred cruise missiles and launched hundreds of Iranian-made Shahed drones since October in an effort to destroy Ukraine’s electricity system and to force a humanitarian crisis during the winter. While that effort has failed, with rolling blackouts no longer occurring and Ukraine even resuming electricity exports to the European Union, the barrages have severely depleted Ukraine’s air-defense ammunition stocks.
While the U.S., Norway, Canada and Germany have provided Ukraine with two NASAMS and one Iris-T air-defense batteries in recent months, these systems, too, were on track to run out of ammunition by May, according to the document.
Ukraine’s S-300 batteries were expending roughly 200 missiles a month, while Buk batteries fired about 69 missiles a month, the document said. NASAMS and Iris-T expended a combined 64 missiles a month.
After months of Ukrainian requests for help, President Biden in late December authorized the deployment of one Patriot missile battery to Ukraine. Ukraine is scheduled to receive an additional Patriot battery from Germany while France and Italy are providing one comparable SAMP-T system. While Ukrainian crews have already been trained, none of these systems are currently deployed, Col. Ihnat said.
Ukraine also operates portable air defense systems such as Stinger missiles. Valuable in the battlefield, they can’t reach high-flying aircraft or offer much protection to critical infrastructure.
While the Patriots and SAMP-T are more sophisticated than S-300, the three batteries due to arrive in Ukraine won’t be able to replace the breadth of coverage afforded by the 25 currently operating Ukrainian S-300 batteries, the leaked Pentagon presentation said.
The U.S. military’s European command estimates that Ukraine needs 12 Patriot or SAMP-T batteries, and 16 batteries of NASAMS or Iris-T class to provide adequate coverage, according to the document. “Multiple mitigating options must be simultaneously pursued to increase decisions for more sustainable solutions,” it said.
Short-term, the document recommended trying to find additional S-300 and Buk munitions abroad, a difficult endeavor as most of Ukraine’s allies that possessed such systems have already transferred them. The only major exception is Greece, which operates two S-300 batteries. Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov visited Athens for talks on military supplies last month, but no details have been provided.
Over the medium-term, the Pentagon analysis recommended expediting the procurement of NASAMS, Patriot, Iris-T and other Western systems, as well as the so-called FrankenSAM project to repurpose air-defense tasks for more widely available missiles and systems that had been designed for other purposes.
Long-term, the only proposed solution was to deliver enough Western air defense systems to cover the whole country, and to digitally integrate them.
Ukraine’s outdated jet fighters are no match for the vastly larger and more modern Russian air force, and have little to no capacity for air-to-air defense against Russian air sorties, which is why Kyiv is clamoring for F-16s. “This kind of aircraft would solve many of our issues in protecting the airspace, and it is available in sufficient numbers to make a difference,” said Col. Ihnat. The Mig-29 jets that Ukraine is on track to receive from Slovakia and Poland, while useful for other missions, wouldn’t be able to withstand air-to-air combat against more modern Russian jet fighters, he said.
While several NATO governments have said that they support giving F-16 jets to Ukraine, especially as they are being replaced with more modern aircraft, the Biden administration so far has stopped short of approving such a transfer. Ukraine “doesn’t need F-16s now,” Mr. Biden said in an ABC News interview in late February, rejecting calls by some Democratic and Republican members of Congress to consider such a transfer.

Old ozzie & the vigilantes story.
These guys have been active for years up this way. They had too back off a bit when the Police made them public enemy no 1 and a couple of unfortunate results of people taking the law into their own hands and injuring/killing innocent bystanders. Funny press made a big deal about that one but routinely fails to mention 70yo ladies being in intensive care because they were T boned during the day by a stolen car. However I digress and risk straying into the territory of justifying vigilantism which I have on occasion noted where vigilantism ultimately ends up in Shinwatra’s Thailand and Duarte’s Philippines..
As for the rest of the article surprisingly accurate in nature, I can vouch for it living in a northern suburb who regularly sees the results of judicial inadequacy. One thing is we aren’t as bad as the Alice of WA yet but things are escalating.
Personally I think my house my castle self defence laws allowing reasonable and escalated use of force along with eliminating liability for injured thieves would probably slow the home invasions. Yes also there is a lot of anger building here, that is not a good thing.

Of course, in Phil We Trust, so CPI will never go above 3.5%, right?

Macron’s Words After Meeting With Xi Are So Bad, They Should Be Setting off Alarms for U.S. And Taiwan
Joe Biden tells so many lies, I’m not sure he knows what’s true and what isn’t at this point.
But one lie he’s told frequently is how he’s strengthened our alliances and we had nothing to fear from the moves of China and Russia. He said it during his visit to Canada last month when he was asked about Saudi Arabia moving toward Russia and China. It was straight-up delusion.
As we look around the world, we see our adversaries on the move. People with whom we had reasonable relationships, before Joe Biden — like Saudi Arabia — are mocking Biden and now moving towards our adversaries, joining coalitions with them.
Even France, our oldest ally, is now making concerning statements after Emmanuel Macron just came back from visiting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Europe must reduce its dependency on the United States and avoid getting dragged into a confrontation between China and the U.S. over Taiwan, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview on his plane back from a three-day state visit to China.
Speaking with POLITICO and two French journalists after spending around six hours with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his trip, Macron emphasized his pet theory of “strategic autonomy” for Europe, presumably led by France, to become a “third superpower.”
He said “the great risk” Europe faces is that it “gets caught up in crises that are not ours, which prevents it from building its strategic autonomy,” while flying from Beijing to Guangzhou, in southern China, aboard COTAM Unité, France’s Air Force One.
and
“The paradox would be that, overcome with panic, we believe we are just America’s followers,” Macron said in the interview. “The question Europeans need to answer … is it in our interest to accelerate [a crisis] on Taiwan? No. The worse thing would be to think that we Europeans must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the U.S. agenda and a Chinese overreaction,” he said. [….]
He also suggested Europe should reduce its dependence on the “extraterritoriality of the U.S. dollar,” a key policy objective of both Moscow and Beijing.
That’s a big story from Politico that I cited above. But as it turns out, there was even more. Politico let Macron’s people look at what quotes they were going to publish and let them cut some things out, according to their editor’s note. Click on the tweet to see the full text:
If what they left in is the stuff they felt comfortable letting people see — and it’s this bad for the United States — what the heck did Macron’s people have them edit out? One has to wonder how bad what he said truly was.
This is what Xi meant when he was talking about 100 years — overtaking the U.S. as the dominant world power.
Just before heading home from the meeting with Putin in Moscow, Xi Jinping told Putin that changes which haven’t happened in 100 years are taking place right now.
He latter added “when we are together, we drive these changes”
A clear warning signal to the U.S. and wider West.
All of this is very bad for us.

Rainbow Serpent vs the Flying Fairies. Who, might you ask, are the Flying Fairies?
First Peoples’ knowledge of ‘mysterious fairy circles’ in Australian deserts has upended a long-standing science debate (8 Apr)
“In 2016, a group of international scientists concluded that, in the Australian Pilbara, “fairy circles” arose from spinifex plants competing for water and nutrients—a similar explanation to the one they proposed for fairy circles in Namibia. These stories were amplified by the media, but the voices of Aboriginal desert people were not reported.
In a study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution today, we show what our Aboriginal co-authors have always known—that fairy circles in the Western Deserts of Australia are flat, hard “pavements” inhabited by spinifex termites (Drepanotermes species).
…
Western Desert Martu people call the fairy circle pavements linyji and the fat-rich flying termites Warturnuma. We learned that the hard surfaces of linyji are used to thresh seed and flying termites are prized foods.”
…
“Pamapardu, big mob. Waturnuma and pamapardu we call them. I been crying for that pamapardu. I was crying for my brother. My brother’s Dreaming.”
Why such strong feelings? Spinifex termites are kin to them. Those that live in the pavements are like the krill of desert ecosystems—they are super-abundant. Most people think of above-ground termite mounds, but here is a whole community that lives mostly below the soil surface, only emerging to eat dead spinifex or to fly to reproduce.
Termites are Gods, you heard it here first. No wonder the Left are so keen on white-anting everything.

He puts the worst possible interpretation on something without waiting for facts or clarification and then ascribes guilt for same to all here – “you lot” – while imagining himself to be morally superior to us.
It’s intellectual dishonesty.
He hunted them. Different thing entirely.
If Harlan Crow bought Nazi memorabilia to destroy it, then he’s a Wiesenthal type. In fact, he is the exact opposite.
I’m amused that Monty still doesn’t understand that the Nazis, who collected gold fillings, were lefties.
Harlan Crow doesn’t hate Jews.

I dunno Roger, when you hear a billionaire has an extensive collection of Nazi memorabilia and shows it off to a procession of political fellow travellers, on top of him corrupting a Supreme Court justice for twenty years, I think it’s generally safe to assume he’s a villain.

Anyone who believes anything you post, including the time of day and day of the weak is completely gullible.
The soldiers who fought the Nazis and brought home military trophies and now their descendants, who keep these mementos, could now be classified as fascists and Nazis under the current guilt by association used by the left.
Crow is of no interest to the commissars in the US Democratic Party. They’re after Clarence Thomas and will use any means foul or fair to bring him down.
They’re a very dangerous and tyrannical force whose leaders would find common ground with the despots in Crow’s garden.

This is a typical of example of monty’s modus operandi as I pointed out the other day.
He puts the worst possible interpretation on something without waiting for facts or clarification and then ascribes guilt for same to all here – “you lot” – while imagining himself to be morally superior to us.

Soros helped the Nazis to collect “memorabilia” (aka loot) from Jews who were on their way to the camps. He is massively “Nazi adjacent”, and has been since his teen years, and leftards lurrrrrrve him.

Here are some facts about George Soros…
1. George Soros is very open about his collaboration with the Nazis, he actively helped Nazis round up his fellow Jews, including his own family members, in occupied Hungary.
2. George Soros remains proudly unapologetic about his Nazi collaboration.
3. George Soros has said publicly that he’d do it all again, and that he feels no remorse about collaborating and sending Jews on trains to Auschwitz.
4. The only person on these pages who stands WITH Nazis is the pervert apologist.
5. I think it’s high time the pervert apologist crawled back into the hole he came out of.

Probably true, Monty, since he was 14 in 1945. Some 14 year-olds would’ve been coopted by the Hitler Youth, who did fight the Russians. Unfortunately George drew the wrong inference from all this, since in his life-long aim to prevent such things he has decided to give victory to the Nazis. Surrender and think of England while being endlessly raped by lefties doesn’t seem especially palatable to me.

That’s surprisingly similar to m0nty’s belief about Crow. What can one say about a fellow whose stated beliefs match a sketch comedy show?
The reality of Mr Crow’s collection is indeed quite biased, but in the other direction (my bolding):
In m0ntyworld, this rich weirdo loves fascist dictators but loves communist dictators more, which makes him a Nazi-lover.
uhuh.
If I were *wrong* about m0nty then by now, with all the facts arrayed before him, he would have thrown out his initial impression of Mr Crow and adopted a more nuanced understanding.
If I were right about him, he will repeat the same ad-hom no matter how many facts throw doubt upon it.
Well the data are in:
• 1. m0nty says: April 10, 2023 at 12:48 pm LOL Dot, defending the Nazi fanboi
🔍 In reality he saved commie statues at the end of the Cold War, not an opinion but an action he actually did, and not what one expects of a “Nazi fanboi”.
• 2. m0nty says: April 10, 2023 at 1:14 pm a billionaire has an extensive collection of Nazi memorabilia
🔍 In reality, most of the statues are communists and the capitalists got pride of place.
• 3. m0nty says: April 10, 2023 at 1:14 pm and shows it off to a procession of political fellow travellers,
🔍 In reality, in 2014 anyone who bought a ticket got the full tour (including the journo for the Dallas News who was just one of many).
Result: hypothesis remains non-falsified.
Anti-Trump indictment clinches America’s Third World status
It’s official: America is a Third World country.
Don’t let the industrial prowess and atomic weapons fool you. Haiti and Honduras have nothing on the USA regarding a legal system that the ruling party hurls like a harpoon at its opponents and holsters on behalf of its friends.
Masons should chisel quotation marks around the words in marble above the entrance to the U.S. Supreme Court. Equal Justice Under Law is now purely sarcastic.
Consider the radically different treatment afforded 2016’s presidential nominees.
Republican Donald J. Trump is in a heap of trouble, thanks to District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D — Manhattan). On Tuesday, Bragg indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of first-degree falsification of business records.
Bragg accuses Trump of reimbursing his then-attorney Michael Cohen for paying former porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money to conceal an affair that she has claimed, and Trump denies. Her silence helped Trump become president.
Bragg further contends that “each check was disguised as a payment for legal services.”
Luckily for Trump, Bragg’s indictment is emptier than a punch bowl of helium.
Bragg accuses Trump of violating Penal Law §175.10 — a Class E Felony. According to New York criminal law, beyond the gravest Class A felonies, “A prosecution for any other felony must be commenced within five years after the commission thereof.”
The 34th and most recent charge in Bragg’s indictment cites Trump’s check dated December 5, 2017. So, this alleged crime’s statute of limitations lapsed on December 5, 2022. Bragg’s other charges expired even earlier.
Can Alvin Bragg count to five?
All 34 counts connect to an “intent to commit another crime.” What is that second crime? Who knows? The indictment does not say.
Without that second crime, Bragg is like a man with 34 sticks of Dynamite and no lighter.
Bragg clearly drafted his indictment with crayons.
Never mind!
In an unprecedented scenario, the former President of the United States spent Tuesday in Manhattan criminal court getting arraigned, fingerprinted, and dragged before Judge Juan Marchan, a Biden donor.
Trump now faces massive legal bills and relentless migraines as he fights these charges between now and a December 4 preliminary hearing, two months before the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. What priceless ammunition for Trump’s rivals!
So, what befell 2016’s Democrat nominee for strikingly similar conduct?
Soros helped the Nazis to collect “memorabilia” (aka loot) from Jews who were on their way to the camps.
The Horthy Regency deported no jews, though they did allow the Wehrmacht to take some as Slave Labour on Operation Barbarossa.
Arrow Cross didn’t deport any either, they took them down to the Danube in large groups and shot them.
Soros and his old man were part of the looting operation that took place along with the mass slaughter.
That’s hilarious. Aching sidesly hilarious. WaPo? ROFL!
Do please try to be a little convincing Monty.
WaPo’s motto is their manifesto.
(I have to say that even the Grauniad is better than WaPo. Although WaPo and the Slimes would be neck and neck for the basement podium.)
Langton –
School: House captain, not sports captain. Records show that, of the 8 house captains that year, only G.Shorten and R.Hannay received sports prizes. Now there is a claim that Lanton was expelled, but none of the other sports-prize recipients were made house captains, so that weasel-out route is shut. “Just being good at sport” was clearly not the pre-requisite. Langton was also a prefect. Anyone who lived in Queensland in that period knows that “popularity among the students” and “getting along with the teachers” were (and are) the most significant (and for prefect: only) drivers for both of these positions.
Expelled: Sounds like a story slightly embellished for effect. Firstly, it’s not consistent. In some places Langton was expelled for walking out of a class after a teacher told a racist joke. In others, it was in protest over a racist text book. Whatever the case, such an expulsion must have taken place after Langton was both named as House Captain and Prefect and had her picture taken as such for the year book. Year-book pictures are not taken at the start of the year, they are taken as a batch towards the end of the year to save money and avoid loss of materials. Secondly, an expulsion prior to matriculation would have required her to complete her schooling elsewhere – likely delaying entry to university until at least 1970, rather than her initial year of 1969. What is most likely is that, following matriculation at the end of the school year, Marcia got into a verbal barny with a teacher (very likely as a result of words that would be very much out of place today) and she got up and left. The “you’ve finished school, how about you make a nuisance of yourself elsewhere” at the time taken for a full expulsion later. Perhaps there was even a formal note – but one sent after such a note carried any real meaning.
This is not to say that the 1960s and the decades around them were not replete with racist comments. No doubt.
But it is to say that Googlery’s contemptuous research skills (for a librarian no less) are on a par with his laughable claim to be from Queensland. In 1968, Aspley was well and truly a suburb of Brisbane, with housing of the “quarter-acre block with a big garden and lawn” type. If there was a cow paddock, it was of the “along the flood-plain” type. Perhaps Googlery got his pictures from Aspley in the UK. It’s closer to where he went to university, after all.
“While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phoney Godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.”
When he quizzed the billionaire about the event, Soros downplayed it by claiming he was a teen and that someone would have done things anyway even if he refused to participate. It must be mentioned that the billionaire was 68 years old at the time of the controversial interview.
“You watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps?” Kroft inquired. Soros calmly said, “Right, I was 14 years old, and I would say that that’s when my character was made…That one should think ahead, one should understand and anticipate events and one is threatened.”
No guilt in association with Nazi Godfather: George Soros
The billionaire also responded with an affirmation when asked whether he accompanied his Nazi Godfather in confiscating Jewish properties. When asked if he had developed psychiatric issues on account of his involvement, he said that it created ‘no problem at all.’
George Soros categorically stated he had no guilt about his association with the man. “I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away…but there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there,” he said casually.
“It is just like in markets, that if I weren’t there. Of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would be taking it away anyhow whether I was there or not,” he further emphasised.
Towards the end, he asserted, “I was only a spectator. The property was being taken away. I had no role in taking away the property. I had no sense of guilt.
This old 60 minutes piece is chokkers full of Soros evil.

He was if I recall caught betwixt and between.
Of course I might just be bullshitting.
John Brumble, it just goes to prove that the mythology some people surround themselves is remarkable given how much information is readily available. If the school and its pupils were so racey-racist, how come she got to be prefect? Aspley at that time was similar to Baulkham Hills in Sydney. Triple fronted texture brick on quarter acres. Family members had a house there. Back in Sydney in the 60s, my primary school had sports houses with Aboriginal names – not one or two token ones but all of them. Terrible racism.
Marxia is an angry old one trick pony who is fast running out of relevance. She must have a substantial income stream by now having been on 5e grievance train for so long. So it can’t be all about cash. Perhaps it’s power and sticking it to the Man.
You believe whatever the Washington Post tells you because you’re a gullible idiot, Monty. Along with the New York Times, the Washington Post is the leftist tribe’s approved originator of daily talking points and propaganda disinformation.
As a leftist kingmaker (in your head), you’re meant to understand that the daily disinformation is meant only for the street zombies your talking points are supposed to direct and motivate, but evidently not because you’re too dumb to understand how the tribe’s propaganda structure works.

Look, stupid.
Houses only exist for the purpose of Intra School Sport.
… of the 8 house captains that year, only G.Shorten and R.Hannay received sports prizes.
Perhaps Aspley didn’t hand out too many pockets, perhaps she got one in earlier years, which I’d say is likely.
In 1968, Aspley was well and truly a suburb of Brisbane, with housing of the “quarter-acre block with a big garden and lawn” type.
Again, look, stupid:
Aspley was a new development in 1968, beyond that were cow paddocks and dirt roads.

A quarter acre is 40 perches.

It doesn’t make any sense from the angle you’re trying to peddle. What does make sense is his reason for having this sort of thing. He wants to be reminded of evil people and the evil they do.
Possibly yes it is, but I can assure you it is not the classical liberals who are organising it.
Padding the profits of renewables companies and carbon credit traders and deploying soft power coercion on anyone arguing against them, despite there being no apparent actual problem with the human influence on climate. Sounds a bit fashy.
Using taxpayer money to bail out major banks when they fail to hedge risks prudently. Sounds a bit fashy.
Effectively mandating vaccines we didn’t need for a 0.1% death rate illness and shutting down and impounding use of any other effective medicine to pad the profits of big Pharma. Sounds a bit fashy.
Can’t really see the right wing being in a position to organise any of those past events, can you?
Is there any Cat who would not join m0nty in preventing a fascist coup?
Because I don’t think any of us want to see such a nefarious ordeal.
“I’m not a fan of soros.
I’ve read many many accounts by survivors and what some people did to stay alive.
I’m not going to condemn a fourteen year old boy who was being hidden by a non Jew.
Both would have gone to the death camps if discovered.”
I don’t disagree. People did what they had to do to survive, I personally know of many horror stories. However Soros, over the years, has made light of his collaboration. This combined with his personal hostility towards Israel, Judaism and other Jews is well known, and he uses his money to actively undermine Jewish and Israeli causes. He’s a particularly sinister and creepy man.
There were other Jewish collaborators, such as Stella Goldschlag*. The thing is, most collaborators ended up being transported and gassed themselves, collaboration didn’t save you in the long run from the Germans, it simply bought time. What saved Soros’ life? The Russians arrived.
Goldschlag’s story is interesting because she survived the war, converted to Lutheranism and became an unapologetic anti-Semite, much like George Soros. Interesting isn’t it?
One other thing. Crow is a very rich dude, and Thomas isn’t. I believe there’s nothing wrong with accepting a ride on a private jet and spending time on his boat if they were together. It appears they were. In other words, Thomas didn’t take a ride on the plane on his own and was only on the boat when Crow was there too.
I didn’t see you complaining that Bug-Eyes (AOC) accepted thousands of dollars in gifts to attend an event at the Met. One of the gifts was a dress costing several thousand dollars with “Soak the Rich” emblazoned on the back.

Uncle George was big news in the 90s. But his extremism began around the time entered the White House. Something in his head just blew up. I suspect that his son is pushing the levers these days and he’s not involved. He’s his 90s.
I wonder if he really knows what’s even going on.
Monty right now.
Just back from an Easter visit to my sister and BiL. He is a normal sort of lefty – can’t resist spouting lefty talking points.
He was dancing in place during Muellerween when at one point of the many the MSM were saying that Trump would be arrested within days. I did try warning him that for all the talk about it nothing had been revealed that suggested they had anything.
So, imagine my surprise when I went up this time and he never once mentioned the Bragg indictment. I take it the ABC has transmitted that this is likely a nothing burger – otherwise he would be leaving acrid yellow pools every time he sat still for more than 2 minutes.
He is one of those people who is certain Trump has committed numerous crimes, uses the claim to justify other claims, but seems not to have noticed that for 6 years the Democrats have expended vast resources to get him on anything, but have not been able to make a single thing stick, which does not even dent the narrative.
Her crookedness is summarized here.
Furthermore it seems she assumed all of it was freebies & did not pay the small businesses & sole traders who helped to kit her out for the shindig.
Btw, it was “Tax the Rich” on the back of her dress – “Soak the Rich” is probably too intellectual for her voting demographic.
This is the same event at which she was mask-free, while the servants & waitresses had to be masked the entire duration – because Science.
Wow
No one made a retraction?
