Why don’t we ever get to vote for peace through restraint, i.e. the U.S. minding its own business? From Ron Paul at ronpaulinsitutue.org:
There were plenty of surprises in last week’s presidential debate. For one, Americans who rely on the mainstream media for their news learned that they had been lied to for the past three years about President Biden’s capability to do the job he was elected to do.
The realization that the media has been lying for years about Biden is a positive development, as, hopefully, thoughtful Americans might begin wondering what else the media has been lying about. For example, they will find out that the media has been lying to them for years about Russia and Ukraine and about the Middle East and elsewhere. They will find out that our hyper-interventionist foreign policy does not make us safer and more free, but the opposite.
Unfortunately for most Americans, foreign policy is something that happens “over there,” with few direct effects back home. Dumping nearly $200 billion into the lost cause called “Ukraine” may at most seem like an annoyance to many Americans, but it’s not like they are being snatched up by gangs of military recruiters and sent to the front line as is happening to Ukrainian men.
However, $200 billion is real money and the effect on our economy is also real. The bill will be paid by each American family indirectly through the inflation “tax.” Each dollar created out of thin air and spent on the Ukraine debacle devalues the rest of the dollars in circulation.

The fact that half (?) the population is four years behind is the most startling.
Even an elder has turned!
And we are talking CPUSA (D) for life, due to being stuck back in 1962.
Not mocking as that was a much better time and who can blame them for nostalgic longing.
In a perfect world we would be allies with Russia, the military would be defending the borders and Ron Paul would be president.
No such a world exists but don’t get demoralized, it is a work in progress. (H/T-God)

Breaking-1hr ago, Brandon to sit down with George Snuphaluphagus (CPUSA) for a hard hitting slow pitch softball interview after the debate on the impartial Always Bolshevik Communism (ABC) channel, maybe not as bad as Pure Bolshevik Soviet PBS or worse?
Brandon number 2 robot being programmed now.

Ain’t nobody got time for that fooling around.
