House Intel Chair Accused of Disclosing "Serious National Security Threat" to Get Ukraine Aid Passed
Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, made a vague public warning on Wednesday (Feb 14) about an unspecified “serious national security threat,” prompting accusations that he did so to pressure the House to pass the $95 billion foreign military aid bill that just made it through the Senate.
US officials later told the media that the “unspecified threat was related to Russian space capabilities and a plan to develop a nuclear weapon that can target satellites." For their part, Russia dismissed the claim and said the US was “making up malicious stories.”
Turner called for the Biden administration to declassify information about the so-called threat and he has come under fire from some members of Congress for making the public spectacle. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) wrote a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) calling for an inquiry into Turner’s decision to release the information.
Ogles said Turner likely did so to bolster support for passing new aid for Ukraine and for extending Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows mass warrantless surveillance of Americans. Section 702 was due to expire but was extended by the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act until April 19.

It's easy to mock this guy, laugh at him, say it's always Gingers etc.
However why are we not asking why, as a society, young men are making life choices like this?
Same as anyone who chooses to go against our natural order with how they live.
Something has gone badly wrong.

“The fetal bovine serum is just disgusting, and it’s in almost every viral vaccine. They harvest it by inserting a needle into the beating heart of a baby cow to extract its blood. Where is PETA when you need them? The FDA even admits they use ‘cow parts’ because cows are large and have a lot to use.”
