Excellent analysis today. But I have to add a few comments: I actually like the HR7372 proposed legislation better. ANY amount in the billions is beneficial to Ukraine! What Ukraine leaders did that, in my opinion, was wrong, is that they tried to win back territory taken by Russia in the 2014 war when they took over Crimea. An awful lot of our donated weaponry went to that effort instead of bombarding the encroaching Russian army to the east.
And we Americans should not be paying for the damage done by the IDF under Netanyahu! HE SHOULD! The Israeli citizens who support him should pay for the incredible damage inflicted in Gaza and also the West Bank. The Israeli forces have destroyed 50% (or more) of all the buildings in Gaza: homes, schools, hospital, whole sections of cities in wanton horrific destruction with NOTHING left but rubble and holes in the ground!
I am in total agreement with the World Court that Netanyahu has committed genocide! There is no justification for the killing he has done in retaliation to the Oct. 7th invasion. And even that is suspect: why were the entrances to Gaza left unguarded? I truly think that it was a planned attack and the IDF let it happen exactly so that they could retaliate on steroids!
We can send food and medical supplies but look what's happening? The IDF have to "inspect" every single box in every single truck, and nothing gets in to actually HELP THE PEOPLE! It is so incredibly sad to see the people suffering so greatly, and having to watch their children die!
I tried to call the White House. It is almost impossible. We call our elected leaders...does it do any good? All we can do is to HOPE that it does! They evidently "count" the ayes and the nays, so that's something anyway. And that's what you give us, Jerry, little Feathers of Hope!
With MTG threatening to pull the plug on Speaker Johnson, MAGA just might be on the edge of self-destruction. And with such a narrow margin, plus "moderate" Repubs fed up with MTG & MAGA, there's even a possibility of Hakeem Jeffries taking over - might seem like a bridge too far, but I don't see any Republican who can win support of moderates and MAGAs. So here's hoping MTG pulls the plug, the "do-nothing" Repub congress self-destructs, and a couple sane Repubs (maybe some soon-to-be-retiring) finally take a stand for country over party and vote in Hakeem. Wouldn't that be a kick in the butt for MTG and her Kookie Crew!
Just sayin'
Of course, the delay would seriously hurt Ukraine, but with Dems in control of congress, the aid would flow.
Excellent. Once again, I have shared.

Hi Jerry. Just called all the Reps you listed as well as Mike Johnson. It’s Sunday so I left messages for all of them. Hope it helps.
