Ukraine Lobbyist Boris Johnson Begs Trump, ‘Don’t Stop Supporting Ukraine.’

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson – who is believed to have thwarted an early-brokered peace between Ukraine and Russia – is now urging Donald Trump to continue the wasteful and unaccountable U.S. support for the nation in his second term.

Johnson visited Ukraine again last week, and has now warned in a new column in the globalist Spectator magazine that Russian success would be a “catastrophe” for Western and American leadership. Johnson peddled the same neoconservative positions he used while Prime Minister, before his ouster over corruption.

“I don’t believe it is an outcome that could easily be endured by a US President, let alone one who wanted to Make America Great Again. And if, on the other hand, Ukraine wins and kicks Putin out – as, with our help, they can – then the reverse is true.”

– Boris Johnson, September 2023.

“Exactly the opposite message will be sent around the world: that we do care about democracy, that we are willing to back our principles, and that the West still has the guts to stick at something until we succeed,” Johnson added.

Instead, Johnson supports the view of the Biden government in continuing to send billions of dollars in weaponry, machinery, and aid to maintain the war, which has already led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and tens of thousands of amputations and life-changing injuries.

Johnson also recently claimed he wants to force the Taliban to watch women’s soccer until they finally appreciate women’s sports.

DATA: 70% of Americans Want Term Limits for Congressmen.

More than two-thirds of Americans from across the political spectrum – 70 percent – would support introducing term limits for Members of Congress, including 68 percent of Democrats and over three-quarters of Republicans at 76 percent, according to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports.

Only 15 percent of Americans would oppose such a step, comprised of 18 percent of Democrats and 13 percent of GOP voters. A further 15 percent told pollsters that they were not sure.

Rasmussen also asked the 1,062 likely U.S. voters: “How likely is it that Congress will vote to place meaningful term limits on members of Congress.” A total of 73 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats answered that it was unlikely, including 42 percent of both party bases answering “not at all likely.”

Less than one-quarter of GOP voters – 23 percent – believed it is likely, with 27 percent of Democrats concurring. Only eight percent of Republicans and 11 percent of Democrats thought it “very likely.”

The advanced age of America’s senior politicians has been increasingly questioned, with figures such as Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (81), President Joe Biden (80), and California Senator Dianne Feinstein (90) showing obvious signs of ill health. The 83-year-old Nancy Pelosi also announced this week that she will run for re-election next year.

Majority White America to End With Gen Z.

Generation Z – born between 1997 and 2013 – will become the last majority-white generation in America, with non-Hispanic whites becoming a “majority minority” with the arrival of Generation Alpha – those born since 2010, according to recent census data.

The number of non-Hispanic white people is projected to fall below 50 percent as early as 2045, with that number set to drop further among the under-18 population, which is expected to make up just 40 percent of America’s population by 2050. Indeed, racial minorities accounted for “all net population growth in post-baby-boomer generations,” reports the Brookings Institution, which analyzed the census data.

Non-Hispanic whites make up only 47 percent of Generation Z, which is the first generation in American history that white people are not an absolute majority. Among those over 75s, white people make up 77 percent of the population, compared to 67 percent of those aged between 55 and 64, and 55 percent of those between the ages of 35 to 44.

Richard Alba, professor emeritus in sociology at the City University of New York, said: “In a sense, we’re forming a new kind of mainstream society here, which is going to be very diverse. But whites are going to be a big part of that. It’s not like they’re going to disappear and be supplanted.”

America’s Living Presidents Are All Descendants of Slavers… Except Trump.

It’s a small club, and you ain’t in it. And neither is Donald J. Trump. But every other living President of the United States is. The club in question? Being a former President and a direct descendent of slave owners. That includes Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and even Barack Obama through his mother’s side of the family.

A total of 28 percent of Republicans and eight percent of Democrats in the last sitting of Congress have slavers in their ancestries, too. “The preponderance of Republicans reflects the party’s strength in the South, where slavery was concentrated,” Reuters claims.

Some of the more notable non-presidential figures include Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, and Tammy Duckworth, who described the revelations as “gut-wrenching.”

Former President Donald Trump is one of the only significant political figures in American politics not to be tied to “America’s original sin,” as Reuters describes it. Trump’s grandfather on his father’s side emigrated to the United States from Germany after the American Civil War, and his mother was born in Scotland, explaining the absence of slave owners in his family.

The news is unlikely to sit well with the same mainstream media that regularly lambasts Trump’s “long history of racism.” But it does perhaps go some way to explaining why they protest too much. And why they want to keep him out, again.
