The Patriot Post® · Dangerously Close

The “Doomsday Clock” is getting dangerously close to Armageddon. Tuesday, representatives from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the clock to 90 seconds from midnight — the closest it’s ever been. 
 
After the 2020 election, we were told over and over again that “the adults were back in charge.” Well, according to these scientists (and we’re supposed to trust the science!) we’re not any safer as a result of Joe Biden’s leadership. 
 
In fact, we’re worse off. Worse than the “warmonger” Ronald Reagan, worse than the “idiot” George W. Bush and worse than the “maniac” Donald Trump. 
 
The main reason for the dramatic change in the Doomsday Clock under Joe Biden is the war in Ukraine, which is being fought on the border of Russia. 
 
I realize there is a lot of support for the war, and I understand that Putin must be held in check. But I remain deeply concerned that the situation continues to escalate, with a growing risk that it could go nuclear. 
 
I have yet to hear a credible conservative leader explain to me why we should trust a demented president (who surrendered to the Taliban) and an unstable Russian leader of being capable of preventing the worst nightmare scenarios.
 
The Ukrainian war is also seriously draining our supplies of vital weapons, potentially leaving us and our allies vulnerable to surprise attacks by communist China or Iran.
 
At the very least, I would urge our Republican friends in Congress to introduce a simple piece of legislation: For every dollar we send to protect the borders of Ukraine, we spend an additional dollar to secure our southern border.  
 
Make the Democrats vote against that bill and explain to American citizens why they care more about the people of Kyiv than the people of San Antonio, El Paso and Yuma.
