How about this for an idea?

All of the other NATO countries get together and say, "If the USA withdraws from NATO, Ukraine will automatically be admitted."

Sounds good to me.

Trump fires 17 independent inspectors general at federal agencies, source says

Source: ®euters

Jan 24 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump fired 17 independent watchdogs at multiple government agencies on Friday, a person with knowledge of the matter said, eliminating a critical oversight component and clearing the way to replace them with loyalists.
The inspectors general at agencies including the departments of state, defense and transportation were notified by emails from the White House personnel director that they had been terminated immediately, the source said on condition of anonymity.

Should President Biden quit? My thoughts.

I watched the first few minutes of the debate, but only listened to the rest. It was so awful that I couldn't continue watching it.

President Biden's voice was raspy and weak. It sounded like he hadn't had a drink of water in a month. I blame his advisors for letting him go on like that.

I don't think there is any way that they are going to get him to quit, and I really don't blame him. Stephanopolous asked him how he would feel if he stayed in and lost. That question should have been turned back on Stephanopaulos: "If I dropped out and whoever took my place lost to Trump, how would I feel? I would feel like I dropped the ball and didn't do all I should have done to win." I think that's what President Biden truly feels, and who can blame him? I'll vote for whomever, but I can understand why President Biden feels this way. "I saved the world, and THIS is the thanks I get?" I wish people would get off his case and trust his judgment. The debate was 100% horrible. Now let's try to get over it and past it.

That's my thought on the matter.
