Eisenhower was the last Republican president, if Lincoln had a say.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, speech, March 6, 1956

Great! The new iron curtain is to be maintained more eastward than the one before, and include Poland and Ukraine and the Baltic states.

Steun uit onverwachte hoek! De SP heeft dit voorstel klaarliggen: Een miljonairsbelasting voor vermogens boven de 5 miljoen. Het is simpel, bestrijdt de ongelijkheid en maakt Nederland betaalbaar. meedoen.sp.nl/miljonairsbelasting

Anne Applebaum: “In the past 72 hours, Donald Trump has dropped all pretense, torched a couple decades of American policy, and undermined 18 months of his own diplomacy.“ On Board The Sinking Ship: Is the kompromat on Trump real? chadbourn.substack.com/p/on-board-t...

Trump’s Message to Ukraine Is Now Crystal Clear
The president’s actions over the past 72 hours look like an effort to force Kyiv to surrender.

Bedenker box 3-plan Marnix van Rij vreest chaos: ’Laat vermogens boven 5 miljoen extra betalen’
De geplande wijziging van de box 3-belasting dreigt volgens oud-staatssecretaris Marnix van Rij onder grote tijdsdruk te worden ingevoerd. De bedenker van het oorspronkelijke voorstel noemt de politieke koers inconsistent en ziet een extra heffing op vermogens boven 5 miljoen euro als mogelijke dekking.

Europe is Ukraine's security guarantee, and Ukraine is Europe's. Keep calm and support Ukraine's self-defence. Thank you to everyone who stands with us. This isn't the first time they've tried to throw us under the bus. It won't be the last. We'll persist. Rage-donate to Sternenko Fund!

The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.

This post kind of blew up yesterday. I think Americans really want to know about little things they can do it help people while our government is doing violence to our values, interests, and allies. So I will try to help provide guidance that might be useful for people who want such direction.

I’m feeling sick! ​Today, our supposed allies decided to give the mad goblin in the Kremlin more money to keep killing us, and blamed us for it in the process! We made them buy russian oil, you see? By defending ourselves. Freaking circus. ​Donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
