When even Hollywood personalities who have donated to Democratic candidates express their frustration with the current state of left-wing politics‚ you know the pendulum has shifted dramatically. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has long expressed disdain for the impact of political correctness on his profession. &;quot;I don’t play colleges … I hear...

When Jesus blessed those who suffer persecution and revulsion on His account‚ He did not mean only the Christian martyrs. He also meant well-known Christian actresses on popular television shows who speak up rather than allow casual slanders against Him.

Hot Day‚ Sweet Beer by Rhys with illustration by Wayfarer Pulled out of my garage and took off down the street. No particular destination just needed the wind in my face. After an hour or so came across a little joint on a country road with outside seating at picnic tables. I dismounted my steel steed and sat down . A cute little thing came out and I asked for an ice cold draft. Sipping the brew and listening to the exhaust tick I thought it was a good day to be alive.

Drea de Matteo‚ the star actress of the hit television series The Sopranos‚ gave a little inside baseball about what celebrities really think of Joe Biden. The Emmy-award-winning actress in a recent interview with Donald Trump Jr. shared   “They (Biden admin)  took every social agenda and used that and used these social issues as pawns to further their administration‚ did nothing but divide people.” Matteo continued “and people in Hollywood are petrified. What‚ are you going to speak out against race‚ and sex‚ and all of that stuff&;#63; People are afraid to have those conversations because‚ first of all‚ you never win with a liberal; you’re just never gonna win.” Watch a clip of the interview here: “I’m just so liberal that I’m a conservative at this point.” Emmy winner‚ your favorite Sopranos star Drea de Matteo @dreadematteo is fed up with all the Hollywood hate and all the far-left lunacy driving our country off a cliff pic.twitter.com/LqFHX0yGfQ — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) April 23‚ 2024 Here’s what The New York Post reported: Emmy-winning actress Drea de Matteo told Donald Trump Jr. in a podcast interview that many prominent celebrities like herself are against Biden’s agenda but are afraid to speak out. De Matteo‚ who rose to fame in HBO’s “The Sopranos‚” spoke with former President Trump’s son on a recent episode of his “Triggered” podcast. De Matteo has a history of slamming cancel culture‚ even starting a streetwear brand called “Ultrafree” that helps “promote free speech.” De Matteo spoke about how she has changed her opinions on certain issues such as illegal immigration‚ and that while she previously voted for Biden based on sympathy for illegal immigrants‚ the chaos at the border has changed her mind. DIVIDED STATES OF BIDEN: Emmy-winning actress and star of “The Sopranos” Drea de Matteo tore into the Biden administration during an appearance on Donald Trump Jr’s podcast. Read all of her comments: https://t.co/2AL8Hl16Xo pic.twitter.com/dG1nR5Nq5P — Fox News (@FoxNews) April 27‚ 2024 Per The American Tribune: “Sopranos” actress Drea de Matteo criticized the Biden administration while suggesting many fellow Hollywood stars shared a similar view of the president. During an interview with Donald Trump Jr.‚ the award-winning actress said many celebrities oppose Biden’s agenda but are too afraid to voice these opinions. De Matteo noted that she has previously voted Democrat‚ siding with the liberal stance on many contemporary issues. However‚ the actress claimed she has since stepped across the aisle‚ agreeing with Republicans on problems such as illegal immigration. Trump Jr. claimed to have met some of de Matteo’s “Soprano’s” co-stars‚ but he seemed skeptical that they would buy into the leftist agenda. “I don’t feel like a lot of those guys were leftist liberals‚” he said. The former president’s son then asked her if she had noticed any others within the entertainment industry who were secretly conservative. It’s important to note that de Matteo doesn’t view herself as a card-carrying Republican by any means‚ but she expressed disdain for the direction in which the modern left is heading. “I really did want to fight‚ but I didn’t think I had‚ A‚ the voice‚ B‚ the balls‚” but claimed things have changed since she “got thrown to the wolves.” The actress continued‚ “And once I was out there‚ I was like‚ ‘I’m out here‚ what am I going to do&;#63; I’m out of my cage.’ Like‚ I may as well just‚ you know‚ do what I got to do.” After noting she has been supported by her boyfriend‚ God‚ and her children‚ she said‚ “they believe in what we believe in‚ which is freedom and unity the right way‚ not unity the way this administration was trying to push. That was bulls***.” Sopranos star Drea de Matteo tells Donald Trump Jr. that the Biden Administration is ‘hammering’ liberalism without being ‘open-minded’ READ: https://t.co/T9XKODFd9K#Liberalism #Liberal #Hollywood #Left #Democrat #Republicans #US #Politics #News #Viralvideo #Explore pic.twitter.com/LsfE5Tby4X — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) April 23‚ 2024

This is legitimately insane—if you thought that the funding in Ukraine couldn’t get worse then just wait. Sources say that Joe Biden and Zelensky’s regime are in talks to enter into a long-term funding deal spanning 10 years and totaling $1 trillion. That’s not a typo‚ you read it right. All the billions we have already wasted on the military-industrial foreign money laundering operation represent mere chump change compared to this reported deal. Moreover‚ this purported deal would be immune to cancellation from the next two Presidents. Even if President Trump wanted to undo it in the future‚ he wouldn’t be able to. Col. Douglass MacGregor had this to say about the disastrous deal that is quietly being discussed. “Insanity. Biden’s foolish actions could ensure war with Russia sooner‚ rather than later. Trump’s reckless and uninformed support for the new bill could convince Moscow that peace is impossible regardless of whom Americans elect without a Russian advance to NATO’s Easter Border.” Insanity.

The USAI is intended to provide Ukraine with a long-term supply of weapons and equipment. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t mince words: “Permanent funding for Ukraine is exactly what they want and Mike Johnson will give it to them. Peace is not an option for them because it doesn’t fit the government appropriations war business and economic model‚ which is vile and disgusting. Their plan is keep funding the proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and when that doesn’t work‚ after all the Ukrainian men have been slaughtered‚ next they will put American troops on the ground. Johnson will do whatever Biden/Schumer want in order to keep the Speaker’s gavel in his hand‚ but he has completely sold out the Republican voters who gave us the majority. His days as Speaker are numbered.” Permanent funding for Ukraine is exactly what they want and Mike Johnson will give it to them.

Advocates for Ukraine believe this gives them the wind in their sails when they inevitably push for another package.

The Biden crime family’s business deals have once again come into sharper focus. Qatar is widely considered to be one of the largest state sponsors of terrorism—they fund religious fundamentalist groups all over the Middle East and cause trouble for all their neighbors. Many believe that the bankrolling of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and funding for ISIS both came from this tiny country located in the Persian Gulf. According to the latest reports‚ James Biden‚ the brother of Joe Biden‚ was doing business with Qatari officials—he was doing deals with their government. Is this why the Biden administration is so soft with Qatar&;#63; Here’s what we currently know: For months‚ the Biden administration has refused to name Qatar a state sponsor of terrorism for their support of Hamas. Today‚ Politico is reporting that his brother was in business with Qatari government officials. https://t.co/HNtzRbAkjn — Nick Ballas (@NicholasBallas) April 28‚ 2024 A letter written by James Biden Sr. Joe Biden’s brother to Khaled Sultan Al Rabban is Director of the Office of the CEO of Qatar Investment Authority‚ a sovereign wealth fund with nearly $1 trillion in cash‚ may explain why Biden’s middle east policy is in favor of Qatar &; Co. https://t.co/3dAK1DrcvN pic.twitter.com/6nDkkhFnOk — Cyrus S (@CyrusShares) October 10‚ 2022 Politico broke the story dissecting the deep business ties between James Biden and Qatar: The alleged arrangements stem from an effort by Jim Biden to raise money from Qatari sources for ventures in the U.S. beginning in the months after his older brother left the vice presidency. At the time‚ the tiny‚ gas-rich nation faced a financial blockade from its neighbors and was spending lavishly to shore up its political standing in the West. Public records and emails obtained by POLITICO offer a window on fundraising efforts in which Jim Biden invoked his ties to older brother and sought workarounds to restrictions on international money movements. Here are just some reactions to the news of the Biden crime family’s foreign business deals.

They were building hotels in Miami.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the United States and Ukraine are “working on a bilateral security agreement” to provide Ukraine support for 10 years. “Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all. We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and for the next ten years‚ including armed support‚ financial‚ political‚ and joint arms production‚” Zelensky stated. “The agreement should be truly exemplary and reflect the strength of American leadership. I am grateful to both our team and the team of the American side for the progress in drafting the agreement‚” he continued. Zelensky announces that Ukraine is working on a security agreement with the U.S. that will fix levels of support for the next 10 years. The $61 billion was just the beginning. The next two U.S. presidents won’t be able to switch it off. pic.twitter.com/q1RWCxf93m — David Sacks (@DavidSacks) April 28‚ 2024 Zelensky thanked Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for the passage of the foreign aid package to send $61 billion to Ukraine. “We are not losing a single day for Ukraine – I have just spoken with Hakeem Jeffries‚ the leader of the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives. I thanked him and all the congressmen for their support of our country and personal leadership in advancing a new package of assistance to Ukraine. We are interacting with our partners at all levels to achieve the level of efficiency in assistance that is needed not only to hold our positions‚ but also to disrupt Russia’s war plans‚” Zelensky said. “We are still waiting for the supplies promised to Ukraine – we expect exactly the volume and content of supplies that can change the situation on the battlefield in the interests of Ukraine. And it is important that every agreement we have reached is implemented – everything that will yield practical results on the battlefield and boost the morale of everyone on the frontline. In a conversation with Mr. Jeffries‚ I emphasized the need for Patriot systems‚ they are needed as soon as possible‚” he continued. “Permanent funding for Ukraine is exactly what they want and Mike Johnson will give it to them.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) April 28‚ 2024 Per Breitbart: Zelensky added that during his conversation with Jeffries‚ he had “emphasized the need for Patriot systems.” This is not the first time Zelensky has begged for more American-made Patriot missile systems to be sent to Ukraine. Currently‚ Ukraine has three Patriot systems‚ one from the U.S. and two reportedly from Germany‚ according to the Washington Post. On Friday‚ Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin revealed that the U.S. would be sending Ukraine more Patriot systems as part of an additional $6 billion foreign aid package. “Earlier this month‚ Politico reported that NATO allies were working to ‘Trump-proof’ weapons for Ukraine‚” David Sacks wrote. “Reminder: last year I wrote about how the administration’s goal was to turn Ukraine into a Forever War‚” he added. Reminder: last year I wrote about how the administration’s goal was to turn Ukraine into a Forever War. https://t.co/pPzCQpBnyW — David Sacks (@DavidSacks) April 28‚ 2024 From Zelensky’s statement: Next week there will be quite a lot of international communication‚ both public and non-public. We remember what this year should bring us in the political sense‚ in particular the result with the European Union. Ukraine has fulfilled all the necessary conditions for the actual start of accession negotiations‚ and now it is up to the EU side to fulfill its obligations. We continue preparations for the first inaugural Peace Summit in June‚ and our team‚ along with the teams of our key partners‚ is working to make the Summit truly global. We can say for sure that all continents will be represented – different parts of the world‚ different views on global development. But all of them share the same recognition that the UN Charter and basic international conventions are binding documents for every country in the world‚ including a country like Russia‚ where madness prevails. The world majority must force Russia into peace – and it can do this. It is in June that the path to a just peace can begin. We are also preparing for the NATO Summit to be held this summer. A strong political signal is needed – the Alliance should not be afraid of its own strength or shy away from its own foundations – every country that shares common values and is willing to actually defend them deserves an invitation to join the Alliance. And our unwavering gratitude to the warriors – to all the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine‚ to each and every one of them at the front‚ at combat posts‚ on combat missions. Kharkiv region‚ Donetsk direction‚ all the southern directions. I am grateful to every soldier and commander who is doing everything to destroy the occupiers – this is needed the most.
