OPINION:
As America sinks into a cesspool of sexual degeneration, child grooming, border invasion, unbridled crime and mass homelessness, $175 billion has gone to fund a distant war that our government — specifically Victoria Nuland, former undersecretary of state for political affairs and neocon zealot — started by orchestrating a coup and installing Volodymyr Zelenskyy as president of Ukraine.
It Is not the first time Ms. Nuland has dabbled in the destabilization of world affairs. Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan redden her resume. She has delighted in brutal overthrows and stuffing billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars down the gullet of the military-industrial complex.
I suggest the 2024 presidential candidates take a walking tour through the real America. It reeks of urine. The perforated citizenry is hunched over in zombified euphoria. Here and there — an underpass, public library bathroom stall, in front of a CVS — a needle is left jutting from a bare, grimy foot and a head droops to the ground into unconsciousness.
Perhaps, candidates, after the tour, you will recall the foremost duty of an American president. Perhaps then you will deserve my vote.
