Propaganda bottom: #RosTV showed an occupier finishing off his colleague, calling them #Ukrainians

After an #FPV drone wounded a #Russian fighter, the “brother” sent his comrade to hell with a shot in the head. The video was filmed by aerial reconnaissance officers of the #118th brigade of the #Ukrainian Armed Forces in the #Rabotino area of ​​the #Zaporozhye region and published by #Ukrainian military journalist #Andrey_Tsaplienko

She Knows How to Stay on Camera

Rep. Monica De La Cruz will proudly fall in-line next week in congress to crash the world economy by letting the debt ceiling fail unless social security cuts, food stamp cuts, Medicaid cuts and, defense cuts are made per the GOP.

Who knew Republicans would pull this by holding the economy hostage like Trump did for 35 days that ended in 2019?

This week beyond camera appearances:

1. No bills submitted on the planks of her platform 3.5 yr campaign run. https://www.monicaforcongress.us/

2. She did get appointed to the Financial cmte; she’ll be regulating the industries that donated $534,000.00+ to her campaign. #PayToPlay https://myrgv.com/featured/2023/01/12/de-la-cruz-selected-for-financial-services-committee/

And https://www.commondreams.org/news/house-republicans-financial-oversight-wall-street

3. She also voted for a house bill that would add over a billion U.S. national debt by eliminating 87,000 tax law, tax enforcement jobs over a ten year period. If enacted, the IRS funding clawback would just go on investigating Texas’s working poor of Texas. Texans have a median annual income of 45K which Monica now earns more than 4 times her constituents in her new tax bracket - WTG congresswoman! (It won’t pass the senate or the POTUS’s desk.)

4. Sworn in

5. Voted for the new speaker 15 times.

6. Made sure to document everything on camera and glammed it up on tv.

7. Did not pay back any of that “135,000 communist monies” she and her ex took from the American taxpayers from the paycheck protection plan.

Be sure to see her on break until Tuesday and she is “in district”.

Just a gentle reminder of this news flip-flopping leader our new congresswoman voted fifteen times. She was never going to have a backbone because McCarthy endorsed her failed campaign and ensured she had funding for her 2022 campaign.

She was won because of redistricting by the Tx GOP, low voter turnout and, party DEMs taking it for granted those who vote - will vote for DEMs just because there is a “D” after candidates’ names. Her district is mostly rural and spread thin with a huge helping of retirement age conservatives clinging to the good old days.

She has chosen to do most of her disinformation on her personal Facebook (FB) page so, the American people can be blocked from commenting. (FB See image, her campaign public relations guru posts comments to dissenting constituents.)

He's an impressive speaker, and clearly has earned the support of caucus. Democrats are in good hands.

Tonight, in a late fourth vote, the House elected Kevin McCarthy the Speaker of the House, by a (finally) party-line vote of 216 to 212. T...

This was the 1st time #McCarthy’s vote total exceeded #Jeffries’.

Jeffries 211 (1 absent Dem); McCarthy 213.

Which sucks for those of us who dreamt of a #SpeakerJeffries.

Even if McCarthy wins, this #118th #HouseOfRepresentatives is going to be a freakin mess due to the numerous concessions he made.
