Biden should promote peace over war in Ukraine for 2 good reasons

President Biden faces a dilemma. He’s running for re-election in what is likely to be an extremely close re-election race.

But he’s locked into promoting endless tens of billions to win an unwinnable proxy war against Russia in Ukraine that the electorate no longer supports.

After 18 months, the electorate is moving on from supporting his war. They know it’s unwinnable. They realize it’s not remotely connected to US national security interests. They understand it could a lurch into nuclear confrontation at any time. A recent CNN poll found voters flipped from 62% feeling Biden should do more, to just 48%. Even a bigger percentage, 55%, oppose more tens of billions in weapons to fuel a lost cause.

But Biden doubles down, saying we’re in this proxy war for the long haul till Ukraine pushes Russia out of the pro Russian Ukraine areas that will never be reunited with the Western oriented two thirds of Ukraine.

To make his point clear, Biden sabotaged a negotiated settlement 16 months ago that would have left Ukraine with more territory that they will now end up with. Result? Tens of thousands of unnecessary Ukraine deaths and further destruction to its economy all to prove an unprovable point.

Republicans would not likely be supporting peace in Ukraine if Trump were president, but more and more are exploiting public opinion against the war as they seek to reclaim the White House next year. If Biden follows sensible voter opinion and pivots toward peace, his electoral chances increase.

But there is a second and better reason for Biden to promote peace instead of war in Ukraine. Politics aside…it’s the right thing to do to save lives, possibly avoid nuclear war.

Abortion freedom train rolls on

 “We’ve taken it on the chin since Dobbs,” One of the things we learned was to get out in front and get out ahead and don’t wait because you’ll be run over by the train.”

---Michael Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life in Columbus, Ohio, who helped organize efforts supporting the proposal on Tuesday. 3 million Ohioans showed up to power the train of abortion rights over Gonidakis and his anti abortion fanatics in Ohio. Their amendment to make it harder for pro abortion folks to protect abortion got steamrolled 57% to 43%....in a very conservative state. Toot,

toot...the aborthion freedom train is rolling on.

Chicgo cop Officer Karol Chwiesiuk and his sister, Agnieszka, were convicted Friday of entering and remaining in a restricted building; disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building; disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building during Trumps Jan. 6, 2021 insurection. .

Karol Chwiesiuk had texted a person on Jan. 3, 2021 saying he was heading to Washington, D.C. to “save the nation.” The other person replied, “Fat man child lost. Give it up.”

On Jan. 6, 2021, Karol Chwiesiuk was caught on camera wearing Chicago Police Dept. logoware. He used text and email to boast that he "knocked out a commie last night" and wrote, “we inside the capital lmfao” (In my fucking arrogant opinion).

Chwiesiuk, on unpaid leave of absence from CPD, does not have a bright future with the department or anywhere else for that matter. He's one of over a thousand MAGAites arrested from all 50 states. Over half have been convicted with the other half awaiting their day in court.

Not one of Chicago's finest.
