Crazy socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) loves to tell other people what to do with their money, but he also LOVES other people’s money.  And he has millions to prove it.

Sanders, who bounced around and didn’t earn a steady paycheck until he was 40 years old, wormed his way into politics and has grifted off the taxpayers who have paid his salary for decades.

During a recent interview, Sanders was asked how, despite his socialist rhetoric, he was able to afford three houses on a Senator’s salary.

Sanders said, “Now, how did I get the money? You’re right. I wrote two best-selling books, including this book on capitalism. It was New York Times bestseller for a while. And also another book was a youth book.”

“And I make, I don’t know, 175,000 a year. And that’s more or less how I became the zillionaire that I am.”

During an appearance on Bill Maher in January 2024, even Bernie couldn’t actually define the difference between equity and equality.

Senator Bernie Sanders didn’t know the difference between equity & equality.

When he was told the difference (equal opportunity vs outcomes), he instantly rejected equity (outcomes).

The most prominent socialist in the US believes equity is too radical.

In May, the 82-year-old Sanders announced that he is running for his fourth term in the U.S. Senate.

Maybe he needs a fourth house.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he will give up territory to achieve an end to the war with Russia.

After two and a half years of conflict, since Russia invaded the country in February 2022, Zelenskyy said in an interview with Britain’s Sky News channel that Ukraine would need to be protected by the “NATO umbrella” in order to achieve peace.

“If we want to stop the hot stage of the war, we should take under [the] NATO umbrella the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control,” Zelensky.

“That’s what we need to do fast, and then Ukraine can get back the other part of its territory diplomatically.”

Such comments indicate a significant shift in position for Zelenskyy, who has long insisted he will not give up one inch of Ukrainian territory.

This included a return to Ukraine’s original borders, as well as the Crimea region that was annexed by Putin back in 2014.

However, Zelenskyy admitted that full NATO membership has not been offered, a proposal that Putin has rejected as being part of any peace agreement.

“No one has offered us to be in NATO with just one part or another part of Ukraine,” he explained.

“We need [NATO protection] very much, otherwise [Putin] will come back,” he continued. “Otherwise, how are we going to go to a ceasefire? So for us, it’s very dangerous.”

Watch the interview below:

Zelenskyy’s shift in position is almost certainly linked to Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Trump has long claimed that he will bring both sides to the negotiating table at the first opportunity and help bring the war to an end.

Following his election victory, it was reported that Trump had spoken to Putin by phone and urged him not to stop escalating the conflict.

However, Trump’s position is not shared by many in Europe. Just this week, a senior NATO official urged people to prepare for a “wartime scenario” as Britain and France considered the deployment of troops to Ukraine.

“If we can make sure that all crucial services and goods can be delivered no matter what, then that is a key part of our deterrence,” Bauer said at an event in Brussels.

On Black Friday, when most Americans are shopping for Christmas deals, Joe Biden appears to have gone shopping for a little anti-Israel propaganda.

According to The New York Post, Biden was seen leaving Nantucket Bookworks clutching a copy of “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017.”

The anti-Israel missive, written by Columbia University professor emeritus Rashid Khalidi, describes Israel as a colonial power in the face of Palestinian resistance.

In April, Khalidi penned an essay for The Guardian,  “‘A new abyss’: Gaza and the hundred years’ war on Palestine” where he suggests the war Hamas started with its October 7 massacre is simply “a new phase in a bigger conflict” rather than a terrorist attack on civilians that included kidnapping and rape as a tool of war.

Per The New York Post:

“I do not speak to the Post (or the Times for that matter), so this is not for publication, but my reaction is that this is 4 years too late,” Khalidi told The Post, which did not offer or agree to any terms conditioning that response as off the record or on background.

It was not immediately clear if Biden purchased the book or if it was given to him while in the shop — after he and first son Hunter Biden, 54, dined with first daughter Ashley Biden and other family members at the nearby Brotherhood of Thieves restaurant ahead of the island’s annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony.

Rashid Khalidi and his propaganda screed “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine” is responsible for so much of the anti-Israel rot that has infected academia and the Western left.

President Donald Trump is planning for all political appointees to receive sweeping security clearances through private firms and only face FBI background checks after the incoming team takes over the FBI.

For the past eight years, the FBI, under James Comey and Chris Wray, illegally targeted President Trump, his family, his business, and his associates using a completely fraudulent document, the Russian dossier, as their reason to spy on the US president before and during his first administration.

Chris Wray later raided Trump’s home in Florida on flimsy, politicized reasons and shuffled through his wife’s underwear drawer.

There is absolutely no reason that Trump would trust the corrupt, politicized FBI today or EVER.

Wall Street Mav reported:

The FBI has lost so much credibility that Trump is not even using them for background investigations of his nominees.

Trump and his team are using private companies for background checks. He plans to override the usual process and grant security clearance his first day in office. Then once his own people are running the FBI, he will allow the FBI to do background checks.

The concern is that the current corrupted FBI, controlled by the deep state, will use their investigation process to nuke some of Trump’s nominees.

Until Trump has his own people in the FBI and can bring a stop to the political motivation to attack his nominees, Trump has cut the FBI out of the process.

2024 may well come to be known as the year that the European Union started to crumble apart.

Brexit was just the start, as more countries are facing existential challenges because of Brussels’ crippling Globalist policies and wondering if leaving the EU isn’t the best option.

Now it arises that the upsurging rightwing party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has fully re-embraced its anti-European course in the final draft of its election program.

According to the German magazine SPIEGEL, the program paper states that the party has agreed on Germany’s exit from the European Union and the euro system.

Der Spiegel reported (translated from the German):

“’We consider it necessary for Germany to leave the European Union and establish a new European community’, the paper says. The EU is to be replaced by an ‘economic and interest community (WIG)’. To this end, there should be a referendum on an ‘adaptation of the European articles of the Basic Law’.”

The party foresees a transition period from the EU to the new TIG, negotiated by the old EU partner states and new interested parties.

“It goes on to say that Germany must ‘leave the euro system’ and introduce a stable national currency, ‘if necessary while retaining the euro in parallel’. This, too, will ‘not take place without conversion burdens’. However, these are lower than ‘the permanent costs of remaining in the euro system’.”

The AfD had moved away from a possible “Dexit”, and even leader Alice Weidel was said to instead want to work for a reform of the EU.

“The AfD draft contains further radical program points: Abortions are to ‘remain the absolute exception’ and are only allowed ‘in cases of criminological or medical indication’. The party estimates the number of abortions reported annually in Germany to be far too high. Instead, the AfD wants to adapt the mandatory counseling sessions before an abortion: ‘During pregnancy conflict counseling, mothers should be shown ultrasound images of the child so that they are aware of the child’s developmental stage’, the draft says.”

The AfD will also withdraw the gender self-determination law passed by Olaf Scholz’s coalition, which allows people who identify as ‘trans’ to change their gender and name on their identity card.

The use of puberty blockers used for ‘gender change’ in adolescents will be banned.

“The AfD is also striving for an economic policy based on a ‘market economy, national responsibility and friendly cooperation between European states’. For the party, this initially includes leaving the eurozone. At the same time, the AfD wants to hold on to cash as a ‘civil liberty’ [tool]. Which currency the AfD wants to introduce after leaving the eurozone remains open. However, she has words of praise for Bitcoin. This should be further deregulated, it is said.”

The draft mentions Russia as a ‘supplier of cheap gas’, and says that trade will be resumed. And Ukraine? A neutral state ‘outside the EU and NATO’.
