Mark, I'm going to pass along a couple of links. The first concerns the provision of Patriots to Ukraine, a subject we have discussed. I submit this without comment. It is the fist mention I have seen of the number of Patriots we might send.

The second is something concerning Russia's ammunition supply.

The Lithuanians seem skeptical of the Pentagon's claims, and no one will blame them for that.

I can’t ad much to what the other folks here have already said, but it seems that every single day discloses some new outrage to further highlight how utterly and hopelessly corrupt our government has become. There appears to be no branch, division or department that has not been compromised!

As others have said, I can no longer trust anything the government says.

Mark - Good observation in Barr’s sudden silence.

I missed this:

“ this follows on the admission that there was no Russian connection to the Nordstream 2 sabotage:”

Happy and Blessed New Year!

All this being revealed should cause ANY ideology of original American Heritage (Dem or Rep) to stand up against this behavior.

Any patriotic US President in seeing such activity against whomever was President it happened to should immediately call for firings and partnering in congressional intervention. Ha, not happening with Mr. Biden's controllers currently in office.

If a self respecting person of any political ilk in National Political Office was knowingly aware (or leading) such traitorous endeavors they would immediately resign; calling for emergency congressional oversight. Ha, same problem in place.

Is this even getting through to progressive citizens in this country? Does it seem the "facist-MAGA" republicans are the only people showing even moderate concern?

Mark, in a recent posting you wrote the words 'I weep for my Country'. I fully share that feeling: but on 'steroids'. I do not see how ANY American with any self-responsibility can stand for this stuff.

Sorry to be such a downer today. Truth is simply sad, sad sad.

BTW what happened to John Durham? For what it’s worth? Speaking of people not to be trusted

Durham was part of the cover up. See? It has been “thoroughly” investigated, and nothing more to see. Plus the length of time his investigation has taken adds to the coverup effect. Now it is “old news.”

So Bill Barr's justice Department was more about getting them to Knock it off for now, it would appear. This all stinks to high heaven and a full going over and exposure is the only thing that will give We the People solace and renewed confidence. As it stands, we are so righteously F'd!

I trust the government to keep me informed about what the latest lies are. Then I believe the opposite.

The government cannot be trusted. Nothing but lies and deceit. Truth is a foreign language to our mafia styled government.
