Here's an idea. Instead of sending millions of American tax dollars to Ukraine. Let's help our own people first. They need help.

Will never happen, know why?
DeleteBecause if they gave it to us and asked for the usual 35% kickback/ money laundering to the Demo Commies we would tell them to go F**K themselves...
That's crazy talk! (sarc).
DeleteWhen you come to depend upon government for ANYTHING, government does what it does best.
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING.
Looks like some kinda disconnect. Hungry people and WE"RE HIRING signs all over the place? Hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteWhen you don’t live up here people have no idea about how few roads we have. The majority of the people on assistance live in small villages and have no way to simply leave. AND the prices they pay for food is insane even before the prices we pay now. And now those prices are even worse.

Anyone remember the SNAP glitch this past summer where people in cities like Philly, Cleveland, Detroit couldn't use their SNAP cards. Notice anything similar in those cities? Alaska is rich in resources. Imagine if there were a lot less indigenous people there who relied on SNAP who got the benefits of those resources through their state gov. Really folks, look at the big picture here.
ReplyDeleteYes Alaska is rich in resources. Guess who owns the most of the land up here and the resources? Here’s a hint, they work in Washington DC.
