At today's Senate Republican press briefing, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Joe Biden and blamed his foreign policy decisions for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. His remarks came after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy virtually addressed the US Congress. 

Sen. Cruz. in his news conference said:

President Zelensky's address to US Congress was powerful and it was compelling. The world is inspired by his leadership and inspired by the incredible courage of the Ukrainian people defending their homeland. 

As we have seen these horrific images, of the carnage of human life, of the murders Russian President Vladimir Putin is carrying out in Ukraine. What is so frustrating is that this was entirely preventable. This didn't have to happen. The most significant war in Europe since 1945 since the end of World War 2. 

Cruz then explained the 2 specific mistakes that caused this war. He said:

There were two specific mistakes made by the White House that caused this war. 

  1. The disastrous retreat and surrender in Afghanistan. That emboldened America's enemies.
  2. Tragically, the White House's decision to waive sanctions on the Nordstring two pipeline and to surrender to Putin allowed him to complete that pipeline. Which was the direct precipitating cause of this invasion. 

Two weeks ago, when every member of Congress was on the video conference call with President Volodymyr Zelensky, he told all of us, if America had sanctioned Nordstream two last year, Vladimir Putin would not have invaded. 

It was the White House's political decision to waive those sanctions that caused this invasion. What should we be doing now? Two things. America should be providing lethal military aid far more than we are currently providing. We should be providing stingers. We should be providing javelins. We should be providing drones. And most critically we should be providing fighter jets, Cruz added in his news conference.

President Volodymyr  Zelensky has said fighter jets are his top priority. It's what he needs most. Poland has offered up the Migs that the Ukrainian pilots know how to fly. And President Biden personally vetoed those Migs going to Ukraine. President Joe Biden should allow those Migs to go to Ukraine today. Not flown by American pilots. We should not put American servicemen and women in harm's way but flown by Ukrainian pilots so that you the Ukrainian people can defend their homeland from Putin's aggression.

And secondly, we need to take away Vladimir Putin's revenue from oil and gas. Putin is a petro tyrant. This war is being funded by his sales of oil and gas. Putin believes Europe is addicted to Russian oil and gas. 

Joe Biden should unleash American production to step in and take European customers away. Our European allies should sign long-term contracts with American oil and gas producers or with our allies and take that revenue away from Putin, defunding his war. 

Biden, unfortunately, does not believe victory is possible. The Biden team is resigned to failure to Vladimir Putin's winning. Putin can be defeated but only if we stand with our Ukrainian allies, we provide them with the weapons they need to defend themselves and we take away Putin's revenue from gas and oil. That is the path to victory, says Ted Cruz while ending his news conference.

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author

"If you listen to them, they have never supported all these policies that were so destructive." During this press conference he was also talking about

John Fetterman Advocates for Action: A Blunt Message on Gaza Ceasefire Protesters In a press briefing alongside the families of Israeli citizens held hostage by Hamas, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) delivered a direct and uncompromising message to pro-ceasefire protesters. Fetterman expressed his frustration at the prolonged conflict and questioned the motivations behind demands for a ceasefire without addressing the root causes of the conflict. Opening with his interactions with victim groups, Fetterman highlighted meeting with six families affected by the ongoing crisis. He emphasized that the suffering should have ended long ago, raising a fundamental question for those advocating a ceasefire: why aren't they demanding the immediate return of all hostages and insisting on Hamas's surrender? Fetterman challenged protesters to consider the consequences of not addressing both aspects of the conflict simultaneously.

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr Hello, my friends, and welcome back to the US Hub. Thank you very much for being with me again. Today I read an article and watched a video of the President of the United States, the leader of the Free World, Joe Biden, on the stage of Lost in Space. I don't know what he's supposed to do, or what I don't think he knows, what's going on at all. I don't know how these guys are just having sprints of energy and mental energy for this guy to read the teleprompter. I don't understand that. This guy cannot function. I didn't have any problems with him I said, "Well, you know, he's just old and all that. Even though I understand that it is for his position, he has to be sharp, he has to be fit physically and mentally, he can't be full of energy, he's got so many issues at hand, but he has to analyze to make decisions. He's not meeting the requirements for that position. He should be fired.
