Thornton Melon I blame him for how he is handling it. My husband is trapped in Ukraine on the border of Hungary and what he sees on the news is completely different from how our media is spinning it.
The list of things that Zelenskyy deems more important than the fact that Putler is still turning the darn country into rubble is just absurd.
Let’s see… Zelenskyy is worried about the environment, so, every Ukrainian needs to get an electric car. Not that they have homes or anything
He wants to legalize marijuana
He wants to legalize transgenderism and gay marriage (I personally have nothing against either, I just think the fact that Russia bombing you to kingdom come should be a teeny bit more important)
Zelenskyy signed legislation that gives POLISH CITIZENS more rights than Ukrainian citizens
He has forbidden anyone from speaking Russian. Given that some Ukrainians only speak Russian, the is ridiculous. It’s comparable to telling Canadians that they can no longer speak French
There is NO work within the country, everything is shut down because of the “conflict”. God forbid we actually start calling it a war. The reason why this is bad is because men of fighting age are not allowed to leave the country to find work to feed their families and to pay back bill collectors that started calling them a month into this crap show
Ukrainians have signed more than one petition to demand that Zelenskyy rescind the martial law that shouldn’t even be in place because they’re not at war. He scolded them like they were little kids and said he didn’t understand why they would do this. Um… they just want to find work to feed their starving families, bro…
Zelenskyy also said that he would pay every Ukrainian monthly during the entire time that this “conflict” is going on. The people haven’t seen a single hryvnia

I could go on and on and on about everything my husband tells me that this man has me convinced that he WANTS to be аssasinated. Haven’t the darnedest idea why, but I swear he does


For all you that think CNN are they holly word of all. News flash they aren’t. Be opened minded and look at all news around the world and you will see a more broader view on how the world views Biden. He is the brunt of there jokes. They all say he’s probably the worst president in Americas history. I am not saying you all have to convert to another party but at least omit how horrible of a job he’s done so far. Most news agencies are trying to distance themselves from Biden realizing he wasn’t what America needed and wasn’t what they thought he would be.


Tina Robinson so is it your opinion that the Democrats do whatever the Republicans tell them to do? And that the Republicans meant for them to send the trillions of dollars that they sent? Knowing what it would do to the prices of everything in our country? And if you think inflation is bad now they passed another spending Bill yesterday so you can pretty much double or triple what you're paying for heat beef gas by the end of the year. Hopefully you're in a very good financial position and able to weather bidens storms that he's unleashing on the American people... Maybe you're one of the few that's better off under Biden than under Trump


Dave Sime Oh, I'm sure you can explain that one. Are you gonna tell me.about the Keystone Pipeline, whose dirty oil was never meant to be used here and wouldn't have been ready on time anyway? Or how good old Trump kept gas prices low, because.he openly lied about the severity of the pandemic, got rid of the response team, had his idiot son-in-law in charge of the supply team, and was totally overmatched by it? Know what happens to gas prices when you can't go anywhere? Know what happens to them when you finally can? Throw in this cute little Putin war and what do you expect? I'm not saying Biden is blameless; he could have seen that a few of his programs were ill-timed, but to put a largely cyclical event squarely on his shoulders or that of any other president doesn't make much sense. Not to mention inflation is currently a global concern, which should surprise nobody.


Tina Robinson you believe what you want. As a independent and a veteran I do not see it that way. I see first hand families struggling with still high food prices gas has dropped a little but will cost them down the road for burning reserves, basic necessities are still high so not a lot has helped those working everyday to survive. This administration has spent more than almost any president has in four years and no end to it. I just can’t wear blinders and say he’s doing so great. Even democrat friends of mine tells me he needs to stop spending and focus on issues within the US and not worry about everyone else.


Mark Rocque - Fox News’ higher prime time ratings aren’t because Fox News tells all sides of a story. They are higher because Hannity and Carlson are good at doing one-sided editorializing that riles up right-wingers who are seeking confirmation bias, so they keep coming back for more like an addiction.

CNN has failed to do something similar (not that it hasn’t tried after seeing Fox News’ success). But unlike Fox News viewers, non-right-wingers get their news from multiple sources, which cuts into CNN’s ratings. Also, unlike the geriatric Fox News viewers, non-right-wingers tend to be younger and have jobs, and children, and family dinner, and family TV, and other interests during prime time other than just being riled up by one-sided news editorials.


Tina Robinson Before the pandemic before the Democrats shut everything down thing was good in America! It’s Joe Biden and the Democrats agenda  causing all the problems in America! People can’t find affordable housing because of people coming across the border and some hospitals on the border are turning American citizens away because of all the non-citizens taking up all the hospitals services! No oil companies are going to invest in refineries when Joe Biden says he’s going to shut down the oil industry! When Americans start coming back to work after being shut down this fool try to say he responsible for millions of jobs added to the US economy when it’s just people coming back to work! The Democrats agenda is bad for Americans! You don’t have to fact check it just go try to buy something if you can find it!


Jenny Bond Sampson So the fentanyl problem just cropped up over the last year, and that it is directly related to our support of the Ukraine? Biden didn't create inflation. He had a hand in it, but consider the only piece of major legislation Trump passed was that ridiculous tax cut, which exploded the deficit and had us printing money needlessly, hand over fist. It's laughable that when you mention corruption you focus on Hunter Biden, which is simply the FOX counter to the last guy ( you'llalso need to expand on his " crack happy friends".Seems like you're throwing that one out there). Yes, there was influence-peddling there, but it pales in comparison to the the massive corruption, pathological lying and attempted overthrow of our republic that happened under Trump, who has been a lifelong grifter and con man, beginning when he was a democrat. It also has little to do with the suffering those people are enduring, and their will to fight against an enemy that seeks to control the entire region and impose it's will on the world. If you're worried about our economy, try to imagine what could hapoen to it if Putin has his way. You know what real corruption is? It's asking the Ukranian president to dig up dirt on a political opponent in exchange for aid! Trump changed parties to perpetrate a con, not out of principle. When you mention social security, what exactly are you talking about? If you are referring.to the program, it is the Republican platform that seeks phase it out.


Four things Joe Biden could not tell you absolutely anything about with a gun to his head, unless it was written for him by Susan Rice and approved by George Soros and Barack Obama. The fifth (Climate Change) neither Biden or any democrats has the slightest answer for other than their constant aim, greater government control and abolition of individual freedoms, and, of course, billions of tax dollars flowing to donors and selected individuals.
The mention of Taiwan is especially telling. Another attempt by this hapless administration to attempt to take credit for abject failures. Only the universally recognized criminality and incompetence of the democrats would prompt any world leader to, for the first time in history, outside of declared wartime, openly state that they might "shoot down" the third-ranking United States Official. But when world leaders no longer take your phone calls, it's only to be expected from your enemies. But also remember when you vote today, the billions of dollars flowing to the Biden Crime Family from the very folks that now feel so embolden to threaten and ridicule a sitting President. Remember inflation. Remember the economy. And by all means remember Hunter and the Biden Crime Family. Remember and Vote!


10ºBush and the Republicans ignored all the warnings regarding OBL and the pending terrorists attacks against America and that resulted in 9/11. Bush and the Republicans sent all fo OBL"S BFF's back to the safety of Saudi Arabia the very next day after the attack, well out of the reach of the FBI and the CIA. Bush and the Republicans also crashed our economy when the deregulated the banks and Wall Street. President Obama and the Democrats had OBL hunted down and killed for his terrorist attack. President Obama and the Democrats resurrected and restored the economy and handed a strong and growing economy to Trump and the Republicans. Trump and the Republicans gave multi trillion dollar unpaid for tax cuts to the wealthiest 3% of Americans who control 90% of America's wealth and that defunded our nation's infrastructure and social programs and then they tore up international trade agreements which isolated our economy and then they tore up international treaties and that made the world a much more dangerous place. Then they spread a highly contagious and deadly virus throughout America that sickened countless millions, destroyed what was left of our economy and killed over one million American men, women and children. To top it off Trump and the Republicans released the leader of the Taliban terrorists from his prison cell in Doha, flew him to Doha and surrounded to him and gave him everything he demanded, from a withdrawal date of May 1st to cutting our troops to a fraction to blocking the exits for our Afghan allies to releasing another 5,000 Taliban terrorists to attack our troops. President Trump bragged about what he did. He wanted to surrender to the Taliban terrorist at Camp David, but some members of his cabinet thought that might look bad. President Biden and the Democrats are again rebuilding America's economy after the Republicans destroyed it and President Biden and the Democrats just killed the #2 leader of the terrorists who attacked America on 9/11. That's just a quick summary. Now, why did Saudi Arabia give the Trump family Two Billion Dollars? And why did Putin give the Republicans tens of millions of dollars for their political campaigns?
