Biden Should Be Honest With Ukraine

By: Robert Clarke， RealClearDefense
The United States has overpromised support to Ukraine. President Biden and the White House have vowed that the flow of American money and arms to aid in the war effort will continue "for as long as it takes." As Americans continue to sour on further support, and Biden's $60 billion aid package is stalled in the U.S. House, that promise appears more and more impossible. Even House Speaker Mike Johnson's new attempt to move a $43 billion proposal faces harsh backlash from his fellow Republicans that threatens his continued speakership.

Why 2024 Is a Lose-Lose Election

By: Dennis Powell， The Hill

Barack Obama (D-Ill.) as transformational to elect him.

Persuasion Doesn't Matter Anymore, It's All About Ballots

By: Ned Ryun， FOX News
American Greatness CEO Ned Ryun on Monday predicted the media will give the Biden campaign cover and there will be no presidential debates. In an interview with FOX News host Laura Ingraham, Ryun said, "We are in the era, Laura, in which I think persuasion and votes do not carry the weight they used to. It's all about ballots. So I don't think they really care and I don't think corporate media is going to make Biden toe the line on this and they will give him cover when he decides to duct debates."

A Bipartisan House?

By: Joe Klein， Substack
In my last dispatch, I described the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson as looking like an overmatched pharmacist. Well, he still looks like a pharmacist-but his mildness of affect has brought forth mighty victories in recent days, not just on aid to Ukraine, but also on surveillance funding (the FISA court) and various other spending bills, including the national security appropriation (which passed thanks to pressure from my friends in the bipartisan military caucus, For Country). So I was wrong to call him overmatched.
