Prevail on your House colleagues to understand the dangers of turning-tail, and our backs, on Ukraine. That isolationist silliness was a mistake when facing the Third Reich, and a grave mistake now. If more history was taught in public and private education, there would be no debate on this policy issue.

I’ll be clear here and you can see where I’m coming from. I’ll pick the budget for my example and overall evaluation of how our government is failing the people. The people who they serve not the people serving government. The federal budget is supposed to be done and signed by September 30th each year. It has not been for the last 27 years. To me the biggest reason seems to be funding but not necessarily the 12 department but what is tagged on to the budget or the pork as it is known. Or earmarks. It always boils down to it’s one parties fault or the others as to why it has not been passed and is kicked down the road on a Continuing Resolution. Hell in recent years normal order wasn’t followed and it was ultimately kicked to the street as an omnibus bill and who knew what was in those and how much they cost the people that pay the bills. You and the rest of your cronies need to get it together and quit this my way or the highway one party BS.
