This week marks one year since Russia invaded Ukraine. The war was extremely costly for both sides. However, while the international community condemned Russia for its aggression, Ukraine received significant support from many European countries and the United States. The Biden administration has donated more than100 billion dollars in military equipment and humanitarian aid.
Unfortunately, neither the United States nor our European allies are pushing for a peaceful resolution to this war. On the contrary, there is no end in sight to the war or the financial and military involvement of the United States.
Neoconservatives like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) like all this very much. He believes that supporting the war in Ukraine is a top priority for our country. Nevertheless, the American people disagree as novel Related press polls show that support for involvement in the war had declined significantly.
Americans are concerned about what is happening in Ukraine, but they attach greater priority to the problems in our country. Unfortunately, as Ukraine receives endless financial and military support, the problems in the United States are getting worse.
As the Biden administration continues to send sophisticated weapons to Ukraine, more and more Americans feel unsafe in their homes. Moreover, in many urban areas, crime has increased dramatically in recent years as police departments have shrunk.
While we lend a hand Ukraine protect its borders from Russian forces, our border has been invaded by millions of illegal immigrants, including risky criminals.
Last year, drug overdose deaths included: record number Americans. Many of those killed were victims of overdoses of fentanyl, which consists mainly of chemicals produced in China and processed in Mexico. Mexican drug cartels are sending this deadly drug into our country.
Unfortunately, America doesn’t have enough political leaders focused on the open border and the flow of illegal drugs. They are more concerned about problems elsewhere. So that’s it 100 billion dollars flowed into Ukraine, not enough money is allocated for our Border Guard.
Our political leaders are willfully neglecting the needs of the American people. There is a huge disconnect between the priorities of the American people and what the Deep State and the political establishment of both parties provide.
For many Democrats, fighting climate change is their top priority. Yet the recent Gallup vote determined that climate change is at the very bottom of the list of our country’s most critical problems.
For Republican globalists like McConnell, our country’s top priority is helping the Ukrainian people win over Russia. However, Gallup vote showed that the war in Ukraine was not even mentioned 1% respondents as our main problem.
What worries Americans? Mountain four the priorities are indigent leadership, illegal immigration, a tender economy and rising inflation rates.
Nothing is being done to improve leadership on Capitol Hill. As a result, the same politicians gain managerial positions, and the Congress, despite its forceful position, does not agree to exceed the term limits popularity nationwide.
Many in our political elite want to not only ignore the American people, but also take away their rights. Democrats want to strip away Second Amendment rights to fight crime.
During the pandemic, many Republicans have supported closing businesses and churches and limiting First Amendment rights to fight Covid-19.
Politicians are forcing Americans to move away from gas-powered vehicles whether they want to or not. So, in the name of fighting climate change, the Biden administration is throwing itself headfirst into solar and wind projects.
The problem is that the impact of these projects is not fully understood. On the east coast, for example, dead whales wash up on shore. Some experts cite wind projects as the reason.
Another concern is the economic feasibility of these renewable energy sources. Although Americans will pay higher costs, political elites say it is a petite price to pay for fighting climate change.
While our government is focused on climate change and Ukraine, not enough is being done to address the problems of rampant crime, open borders, and rising inflation.
When an environmental disaster struck East Palestine, Ohio, the response was so overdue and insufficient that residents became furious. Finally, after President Donald Trump announced he was visiting the area, the Biden administration decided to provide assistance to affected residents from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
While our federal leaders play the role of world policeman, limiting our rights, raising taxes and ignoring our problems, they expect citizens to remain quiet and not express their First Amendment rights.
This is not how our Founding Fathers set up the federal government to operate. Our system of government was designed to instill ultimate authority in “We the People.” There are checks and balances and our politicians are supposedly “public servants”.
Today, people serve a government of elite politicians and bureaucrats who enjoy huge salaries, narrow work hours, and extraordinary benefits while Americans struggle to survive.
In real America, it has been reported that credit card debt has reached novel heights record. The average American who cannot afford to pay for necessities takes on more debt or takes money from their retirement accounts. Not much is going well in our country today, because the “American dream” is out of reach for many families.
The elite have no such worries because their lives are completely disconnected from the struggles of ordinary Americans. For example, President Joe Biden has built a security wall around his residence, but he refuses to give the American people a border wall that would protect us from many threats.
No wonder President Trump is so hated by the establishment. He vows to put “America first.” But unfortunately, our political elite always puts “America last.”
Instead of addressing real needs, political leaders are focusing on an agenda that is alien to the American people. No wonder Americans don’t trust politicians who consciously neglect society.
Eventually, Americans will demand that “public officials” start listening.
