It’s an unusual day in the political spectrum when you read two common sense statements by politicians in the same day!
First, Congressman Jim Jordan who was one of 117 Republicans who voted last week against continuing a program to train and equip Ukrainian troops to defend their border. “Why should we be sending American tax dollars to Ukraine, when we don’t even know what the goal is?” Jordan told Fox News on 10/5/23. “No one can tell me what the objective is,” he explained.
Those who read this blog regularly know that I have said something very similar many times. Common sense would dictate that when going into a war, or similarly when providing unending money and supplies to a proxy-war that an endpoint objective should be clear. I can understand why individuals can get fired-up by emotion at the beginning, but at some point, emotion has to take a backseat to logic. If we as a country are going to continue to pour billions into this Russia-Ukraine war, shouldn’t there be some sort of goal? … Yes, there should. To blindly follow Joe Biden down the rabbit hole just isn’t common sense for a variety of reasons. Ergo, maybe before providing any more to Ukraine, there should be a clear understanding of what the objective is! … Common sense!
The second common sense statement was made by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
From C&C:
In a speech Wednesday, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak explosively said it was just “common sense” that “a man is a man and a woman is a woman.” BOOM! Specifically, Sunak said “we shouldn’t get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be. They can’t. A man is a man and a woman is a woman — that’s just common sense.”
Sunak said some other “common sense” things — to strong applause.
Prime Minister Sunak may have just become the highest-profile politician in the world to push back against the trans agenda. Why? Rishi Sunak is no MAGA conservative. Many think he’s a globalist, WEF stooge. What does it say that he feels politically safe, that he feels it’s politically beneficial, to start talking “common sense?”
