From Hero to Whore
Segment # 386
Senator Kelly has managed to obtain the attention he seeks but maybe not all for the right reasons. Kelly recently returned from a visit to Ukraine on Sunday, March 9, 2025. He spent approximately 36 hours in the country, departing the United States on Wednesday and returning late Sunday evening. This was Kelly's third visit to Ukraine since 2023
Kelly's visit came shortly after the Trump administration paused military aid to Ukraine, and the senator emphasized the importance of continued support for the country in its fight against Russia's invasion.
Specifically, Kelly went to undermine Trump’s attempts to get a cease fire and an end to the war. Kerry did to Trump what Kelly is doing now and that is conducting foreign policy in opposition to the president.
Kelly is running for president and cares more for his own ambition than either the country or Ukraine. This showboating on the international stage weakens America and ultimately confuses both allies and enemies. When nukes are in play this is very very stupid.
This speaks for itself and his judgment. The American Thinker below has it right.

A wise friend of mine says that the leftist push to change government policies based on alleged “anthropogenic climate change” has been the greatest Trojan horse in history. Why? Because if you control CO2, you quite literally control everything. It was always about power, not about saving the planet.
Nothing more clearly illustrates that the climate was never the issue than the war on Tesla cars now that Musk has dared deviate from the Democrat party orthodoxy. And it’s not just the crazy lunatics burning and vandalizing cars, or invading and firebombing showrooms. Instead, Sen. Mark Kelly’s decision to trade his Tesla in for a different kind of car truly reveals the long con.
I’ve never been a fan of electric cars. They’re indeed fun to drive, because they accelerate so well. Teslas are especially cool. I was last in one about six years ago and was deeply impressed by the gadgets and the luxury. I can only imagine how much more “gadgety” and luxurious they’ve become since then.
Still, I saw more problems than benefits. First, the range problem is real. Newer models have further ranges than the old models, of course, but when you run out, you can’t just fill your tank. Recharging takes up to an hour, which can really interfere with long-distance travel.
Second, they’re not really clean. Instead, they just shift the pollution away from the back end of the car to whatever plant produces the electricity needed to power the car. If those plants are nuclear or hydro powered, that’s one thing, but most are not. Instead, they come from dirty sources (coal or oil) or wildlife-killing wind and solar.
Third, I hated the subsidies, which, at least in California, saw lower- and middle-income people pay taxes so that rich people could buy Teslas and other electric cars. California eventually did some means testing for the subsidies, but the whole thing was just wrong.
Fourth, speaking of subsidies, I also hated how the government handed money directly to the electric car manufacturers. Much of that was just graft, as far as I’m concerned. I was unhappy with Tesla for a long time about that, but then Musk, to his credit, made all the Tesla patents publicly available. I felt he had returned to the public something that was ours all along, considering that we paid for it.
While I was lukewarm about the cars, leftists were all in. And for them, anxious as they were to gain control over every aspect of the economy, Musk was a hero.
Now, though, not so much. For the tremendous sin of working with President Trump to identify waste and fraud in the federal government, Musk has become Public Enemy No. 1. He is the man the left must destroy.
A man of integrity would at least be able as a man of principle to praise Musk and Space X for what they accomplished
What you don’t deplore you condone. What you condone you encourage. Sen Kelly and his colleagues have failed to deplore the terrorism against Tesla or the death threats against Musk. It is quite clear that the Dems want this
Both Musk and the astronauts confirmed that Musk offered to send a flight earlier and was turned down by Biden
Having accomplished what they have, I don’t fault the courage of either man. However, the lack of integrity both have shown is an embarrassment to the country. This is the type of person that should never have power. Much has been said about Mark Kelly’s sudden wealth gained since 2019 and his “blind” trusts. I will leave that to the investigators. After Biden, Pelosi, McConnell and the rest, I don’t trust any of them.
