What do we know about his wife?

We know there is a wife. I think the wife is the Africa connection. Former colonial masters!

Lauren Boebert has been slammed by a constituent in a Christmas letter stating that she has “learned absolutely nothing” after her lack of support during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech to Congress.

Carol Cure wrote in The Durango Herald on Christmas Day that “after receiving the narrowest congressional reelection margin in the country, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert has apparently learned absolutely nothing”.

“By refusing to stand or applaud the heroic Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his speech to Congress, she has once again embarrassed her 3rd Congressional District constituents and the entire country,” she added. “During this historic speech, Boebert was seen scrolling on her phone rather than listening, while sitting next to U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz who was doing the same.”

Ms Cure slammed Ms Boebert and Mr Gaetz for refusing to “acknowledge the heroism” of Mr Zelensky and the Ukrainians, who have been fighting the Russian invasion for more than 300 days.

The constituent noted that the two Republicans also ignored Capitol police and skipped a security check outside the House chamber, as reported by The Independent.

Sitting down for Zelensky is standing up for Putin.

You can have that one for Twitter if you like Tero.

(40% if invaders have been deported, rest are still waiting)

Actual number less than 3 million
The number of undocumented immigrant crossings at the southwest border for fiscal year 2022 topped 2.76 million, breaking the previous annual record by more than 1 million, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

I can just see the Tweets falling in from trumpsters: Biden spends millions on vacation while 2.7 million new illegals are running free!

CNN
President Joe Biden this week returns to St. Croix, one of his and first lady Jill Biden’s beloved vacation spots, seeking a final opportunity for rest before what is expected to be a contentious 2023 and reelection run.

As Biden unwinds in a familiar spot – the first couple have visited the US Virgin Islands for more than a dozen years, vacationing there approximately ten times since the mid-2000s.

In other posts Biden let in 4 million illegals, now he is "releasing" 150 000. Many free ranged foreigners, Lauren, but which is it?

Biden’s despicable DHS freed 150,000 illegals in the summer of 2021 without court dates.
So those are just illegals who will be living here and there’s no recourse for it.
This is an invasion supported by the government.

A leading Democratic lawmaker has warned that the Republican party is now so extreme it could cause the world’s largest economy to default on its debt for the first time ever in its quest to extract concessions from the Biden administration.

The US is the only major economy to put a legal limit on how much debt the government can accrue, which is currently set at about $31.4tn. Washington uses that borrowing to pay for everything from government employees’ salaries to military operations, and is expected to need to increase the debt ceiling sometime next year, as it has done dozens of times in the past.

But 2023 will bring a new Congress to Washington where Republicans will have a majority in the House of Representatives – and the party’s leaders have said they will make demands of Joe Biden and the Democrats in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.

“It’s just a terrible way to operate the government,” he said of the ceiling. “I don’t know why in the world we would want to put the Republicans in the position of having that leverage to try and exact their pound of flesh, whatever it might be.”

The government shut downs are never anything but protest. It costs more overall to get things started up again as well as keeping things running as in flight controller duty. Like the illegal aliens issue, this is something that needs two parties working on it.

Follow the money. Probably a good investment by Putin. Less arms for Ukraine.
