HARNWELL: Biden spent five times the Palisades fire damage to turn Ukraine into similar wasteland

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / It’s difficult to find an accurate estimate for the total damage due to the Palisades inferno, because the catastrophe is ongoing. But the conventional figure seems to be around $57bn.

The US government has given around $250bn to Zelensky. We will never forget the whole US House of Representatives waving their stupid little Ukrainian flags as “No-Johnson” Johnson passed his $61bn bill with Democrat votes.

I’d be opposed to US taxpayers footing the rebuild of millionaires’ mansions in LA — but if California seceded from the Union and joined Ukraine, that money would materialise in 24 hrs.
