    First it was the British consultants who met with Harris Walz campaign staff at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. 

    Later, more U.K. consultants showed up on American soil to consult with the Harris Walz campaign strategists before the ABC News presidential debate. 

    Now, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky stirs the forbidden foreign political pot even more  before the October 1st vice-presidential debate by campaigning for the Harris Walz ticket in Pennsylvania, one of the 2024 battleground states under the tutelage of Ukraine. 

    Zelensky has said he headed to the U.S. to attend the U.N. General Assembly but somehow he founded himself in Scranton, Pennsylvania, not the Big Apple where the U.N. is located. 

    The democrats’ slew of accusing foreign governments of interfering for Trump when the democrats do it in plain sight should be obvious to voters, but sadly it is not. We are all too forgiving in America for normalizing hypocrisy.

    Ostensibly, the purpose of Zelensky’s trip was to present at the UN, and present the Ukrainian victory plan to President Biden, Democratic presidential candidate Vice-President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump. 

    Seemingly, the meeting with Trump may be scrapped. First it was on. Now, it seems off with Trump. 

    The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday announced an investigation into the Biden Administration’s use of taxpayer funds to fly Zelensky to the Keystone state. The Ukrainian leader was flown into Pennsylvania in a US Air Force C-17 military aircraft and was provided with Secret Service protection, both of which were paid for with US taxpayer money.

    Zelensky not only smiled for the cameras appearing to enjoy his campaign stop, but the Ukrainian president criticized Donald Trump and J.D. Vance for their positions on wanting to end the war. 

    Remember, it was David Muir, who asked the question during the ABC presidential debate of Trump, “Do you want Ukraine to win?” 

    To which Trump did not take the bait - he wants to end the war. 

    The bait was to take a side on who was to win - Ukraine NATO US or Russia and then flip it into a potentially unpatriotic soundbite. 

    It was a classic catch however you can question that Trump did not bite. 

    Even Pope Francis has come out calling for the end to these endless wars, but no one is comparing Trump to Pope Francis. 

    There is a Fourth Commandment though that some still believe - "Thou Shalt Not Kill" even though St. Thomas Aquinas penned long ago the justification to defend oneself. 

    Reacting to Zelensky's visit, Republicans have accused Zelensky of interfering in U.S. electoral politics and “campaigning” for presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

    WHY? 

    Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, a man whose name was on the short list for Harris' vice president choice, gave Zelensky a tour of the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant over the weekend looking at artillery shells. 

    Republican officials now have taken issue with the photo op, as well as Zelensky’s recent interview with the New Yorker magazine, in which he criticized former President Donald Trump and Ohio Senator J.D.'s positions on Ukraine.

    The New Yorker published an interview with Zelensky on Sunday ahead of his trip where he was critical of Trump. 

    Trump probably “doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how,” said Zelensky.

    Of Vance, Zelensky said "He is too radical.” 

    Magazines in New York now seems to be some of the publications to use as political puff or hit pieces. 

    Just last week, New York Magazine was in the news. It was a doozie of a drama because the magazine put a reporter on leave. What transpired in truth is worthy of a firing on the spot.

    One of New York Magazine's female reporters who clearly has issues with journalistic ethics, marginal experience in serious political reporting, seemingly has a need for attention, got a cameo in a movie, and has issues with inappropriate seduction in her professional life, was found to have flooded Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s phone with nudies of herself.

    Yes, you cannot make up this predatory behavior which is out of line with journalistic ethics.  However you shake it, sending nudies to politicians is unprofessional, declasse and self-destructive.  

    So, now we have another scandal with the New Yorker and Zelensky campaigning in a swing state. 

    “Zelensky is openly campaigning for Democrats in battleground Pennsylvania today some 50 days out from our Presidential election. Unreal,” Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt wrote on X.

    Pennsylvania Representative John Joyce told a local radio station on Tuesday that the visit was “a political stunt,” judging by its “suspect” timing.

    The GOP lawmakers said in a letter to Pentagon Inspector General Robert Storch that this situation unacceptable. 

    A group of nine House representatives led by Lance Gooden of Texas have called for an investigation into Zelenksy’s visit. 

    “There is concern that these resources were used for purposes unrelated to US national security or bilateral diplomacy but rather to support a politically significant visit ahead of a major US election,” read their letter.

    Gooden questioned Zelensky’s judgment in alienating Republican voters in an interview with Fox News.

    “Why is he [Zelensky] not on his knees thanking Americans, Republicans and Democrats, for the sacrifices they’ve made for his nation? And how dare he come into our nation and opine on any election, much less the presidential race?” Gooden asked on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ program.

    Will Zelensky's visit make a difference to Pennsylvania voters? 

    Here's how the democrats think their strategy will work.

    A lot of Polish Americans live in Pennsylvania.

    Harris is focused on that large Polish-American voter base in the Keystone state by touting the support for Ukraine to protect Poland.

    Remember she has flipped flopped on fracking and Pennsylvania is key to fracking. 

    In three letters, to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and the White House Counsel’s Office, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says he wants to understand the circumstances behind Zelensky’s trip and determine whether the administration used the leader to benefit the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris. 

    “The Committee seeks to understand the circumstances that led—and any facts that could justify—the Biden-Harris Administration to transport President Zelensky on a Department of the Air Force aircraft to Pennsylvania to introduce government officials to President Zelensky about the Russia-Ukraine war,” Comer wrote. 

    You can read the letters below: 

    “This rhetoric coming from a foreign leader released in anticipation of a U.S.-taxpayer-funded visit about the current Administration’s political opponent is highly concerning,” Comer wrote. 

    “The Committee is investigating any coordination or communication among the Biden-Harris Administration, Pennsylvania’s Office of the Governor, and President Zelensky for use or solicitation of use of government property to politically benefit Vice President Harris’s presidential campaign,” he continued. 

    The committee is requesting documents and communications about Zelensky’s visit from the Justice Department, Defense Department, and the White House so that it can determine if there was any “potential interference in a federal election.” 

    Will it make a difference to voters outside of the Polish Americans in Pennsylvania? 

    Most Americans look at inflation, economics, decline in small businesses, covid shutdowns, loss of parental rights, child protection, immigration influx from the southern border, and the endless wars as American economic and national security issues. 

    Americans are waking up to propaganda but the real question is how many will be revolted by the endless games the democrats play with their taxpayers' dollars?
