Let’s see…the US Senate recently passed a bill titled Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022 essentially on a voice vote of 100 – 0. Unanimous. This is modeled on a WWII program that provided weapons to the allies fighting Hitler before the United States entered the war. Given the…

I mean WTF? When will the lying stop? The Pentagon now says 50 American military service members suffered traumatic brain injuries following Iran’s Jan. 8 missile attack on a base in western Iraq that was housing the U.S. military personnel.
