Ukrainian grifter tells Americans how to vote, David Strom offers him some advice: shut up

/

Ukrainian flags have disappeared from all the best people’s churches and front lawns over the past year as interest shifted to the war criminals of Tel Aviv, but now that Vlodymyr has joined the Democrats, look for their return.

Strom: “Volodymyr Zelensky has joined the growing list of foreigners campaigning for Kamala Harris. 

“No doubt the media mavens of the transnational elite will call for immediate impeachment of Harris for her collusion with Zelensky to interfere in our election. 

“Yeah, right. Sure, it's true that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been funneling uncounted billions into Ukraine and that much of that money has been sucked up by corrupt politicians and their buddies, But this is the right sort of corruption, so nobody in the Establishment is bothered by it at all.”

In his harshest criticism yet of the Republican presidential nominee, the Ukrainian president also described Trump’s running mate JD Vance as “dangerous” and “too radical”.

“His message seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice,” Mr Zelensky said of Mr Vance in an interview with the New Yorker magazine before he flew to the US to present his “Victory Plan” to the White House this week. “But I believe that we have shielded America from total war.”

Mr Vance has been criticised by supporters of Ukraine for pushing a peace deal that consolidates the Kremlin’s control over captured territory.

Mr Zelensky said such a deal would disrespect the sacrifices that Ukrainian soldiers have made, appease Vladimir Putin and encourage other dictators to invade their neighbours.

Mr Zelensky’s intervention in US politics comes with polls showing Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, building a slender lead over Mr Trump ahead of the election in November.

Mr Zelensky began his tour of the US on Sunday with a visit to a weapons factory in Pennsylvania producing 155mm artillery shells to be sent to the frontlines in Ukraine, telling employees that “the democratic world can prevail” because of their work.

He is due to meet Mr Biden in the White House on Thursday to present his “Victory Plan”, which he will also share with Ms Harris and Trump.

Strom: European countries have been quite bold of late in telling American voters what to do and even what we should be allowed to say online. I don't know about you, but every time they attack Trump or demand that I and other Americans shut up, it annoys me more than a little. That's why I believe that Trump should threaten NATO with the US leaving. 

“I have a very pragmatic view of the Ukraine war: if supporting the war helps the US, then we should do it; if it doesn't, then we shouldn't. Ukraine is no longer in danger of being swallowed by Russia, so our war aims to prevent this has been achieved. Russia presents no threat to NATO militarily now, if it ever did in the past decade or two, and the last thing we need is to admit the corrupt country into the alliance. 

“Zelensky is here to propose precisely that, among other things. To which I say NO! The last thing we need is to threaten World War III over Ukrainian borders. We have open borders right here to close. 

“I was a supporter of helping Ukraine when Russia was headed to Kyiv; now, not so much. If they want to fight it, it is Europe's war, although I think it is a stalemate and a waste of lives.”

….

“The only reason for the U.S. to keep defending Europe is to exercise political power over the countries there--to advance our interests. The opposite is now happening--they are messing with our politics in order to empower their transnational governing elite, and we should want none of that.”

Guess who’s enlisted this clown into their service:

BONUS MATERIAL: Here’s how the hysterics and their media tools keep up the charade.

USA Today (with the assistance of Zuckerberg and his Facebook empire): “Fact check: False claim global polar bear population has increased in recent decades”. They’re attempting debunk this chart:

USA Today: The graph shows global population estimates from 1993, 1997, 2001, 2005, 2009 and 2021 taken from the Polar Bear Specialist Group’s most recent status report. But experts say those figures, especially the earliest ones, are unreliable, and the variety of methods used makes comparisons between those years illegitimate. 

“Populations have not grown,” Steven Amstrup, chief scientist for Polar Bears International, said in an email. “Rather our growing knowledge has shown there may be more bears in these areas than we previously thought.”

Translated: “We had no solid data on which to base our original claim, but who needs facts when the fate of the world is at stake? So we made it up.”

Bobcat found near Bangor neighborhood didn’t kill all the missing cats, experts say

Wildlife experts say a bobcat found dead near a Bangor neighborhood where roughly 20 pet cats have gone missing in recent months may have played a role but likely wasn’t solely to blame for the disappearances. 

.Those missing pet cats remain mostly unaccounted for, according to Jennifer Delano, a neighborhood resident who created a map of where they live. Only one has returned home, and neighbors haven’t reported finding the remains of any cats.

IRS union endorses Kamalla “because she shares our values”.

Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz warned of the Biden-Harris administration’s further plans to expand the IRS, writing in a September Fox News op-ed, "Now, the Biden-Harris administration’s 2025 budget proposal calls for an additional $104 billion for the IRS. That’s eight times the annual budget, just two years after Congress appropriated an amount that was seven times the agency’s annual budget. What is going on here?"

Ivy League Idiocy: Barnard Offers ‘Queer Caribbean Critique’ Course

Barnard’s “AFRS BC3021” or “Queer Caribbean Critique” course, worth “4.00 points,” will apparently lead students down a magical path of glorifying homosexual licentiousness and hating Europeans. Below is the jargon-laced description of this course:

This seminar analyzes the different critical approaches to studying same-sex desire in the Caribbean region. The region’s long history of indigenous genocide, colonialism, imperialism, and neo-liberalism, have made questions about “indigenous” and properly “local” forms of sexuality more complicated than in many other regions. In response, critics have worked to recover and account for local forms of same-sex sexuality and articulated their differences in critical and theoretical terms outside the language of “coming out” and LGBT identity politics. On the other hand, critics have emphasized how outside forces of colonialism, imperialism, and the globalization of LGBT politics have impacted and reshaped Caribbean same-sex desires and subjectivities. This course studies these various critical tendencies in the different contexts of the Anglophone, Francophone, Hispanophone, and Dutch Caribbean

Tuition at Bernard is $67,602, plus fees.

As American suck-ups held a concert to celebrate the 100th birthday of Jimmy Carter, this county’s runner-up to Joe Biden as worst president in our history, the Times reports on his accomplishments:

“In many ways, the concert “mirrored the scope and ambitions of the man it was celebrating: Global and idealistic in its reach, but firmly planted in Georgia, molded by religious and cultural traditions as well as the rich but complicated history of the rural South.”

Robert Spencer begs to differ:

Accomplishments? During his one term as president, Carter fought the “energy crisis” by scolding Americans for using too much energy and overseeing a proliferation of government regulation in order to make Americans become more energy-conscious and less wasteful. But the whole endeavor was built on sand: there was actually no energy crisis. The world’s oil reserves did not run out in the 1980s, as had been predicted, and not because Carter saved the day by winning what he called the “moral equivalent of war.”

Carter only made the real problem worse: oil companies were so beset with restrictions and regulations that they couldn’t take adequate steps to find new oil supplies. Carter’s successor, Ronald Reagan, changed that, and the days of the energy crisis were over, at least until apocalyptic climate hysteria of a different kind became the centerpiece of later Democratic presidents’ efforts to assert even more federal control over the lives of Americans.

The Department of Education is another Carter failure. Despite pouring tens of billions into U.S. public schools, student performance has not improved; just the opposite has happened. Even worse, the federal bureaucrats who oversee the Department of Education have created national standards and curricula that are marred by a pronounced leftist bias. This has taken the form today of a manic attention to race and diversity, at the expense of giving children a basic education. 

   …

Meanwhile, the Iranian hostage crisis, as well as the abject failure and apparent amateurishness of the rescue operation, epitomized the Carter administration’s impotence in the face of repeated provocations from the nascent Islamic Republic of Iran. In a very real sense, Jimmy Carter is the Father of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a rogue regime that still viciously oppresses its own people while allying with and financing jihad terror groups around the world.

 Only Old Joe Biden has now ensured that Carter will not be thought of as our worst president ever. So what were these people celebrating? Why are “celebrities” usually on the wrong side of every issue? If Jimmy Carter was a great president, the nation sure could use some bad ones.
