There is no excuse not to

Dear John,

I may have a lot of roles- patriot, Christian, congressional nominee, Republican.

But the role I occupy every single day is... MILITARY MOM.

I think that's why the horrible trade from last week irks me so much.

This is Sandy Smith. I'm fighting to bring sanity back to Congress, because we sure need more patriots in DC! Help me fight to get us back on track! ([link removed])

I couldn't believe it when I heard Biden gave the Russians the "Merchant of Death" in return for a LGBTQ+ poster child WNBA star who hates America.

When people talk about "political correctness run amok", this is what they mean.

FOX News has the story:

Critics blasted the deal the Biden administration made to get WNBA player Brittney Griner back to her home in the U.S. after she was sentenced to Russian prison for nine years on drug-related charges.

For Griner's release, the U.S. government agreed to release international arms dealer Viktor Bout to the Russian government, who had been arrested by the DEA in Thailand in 2008 and was put in U.S. custody.

Bout, who has been called the "Merchant of Death" by his accusers, was convicted of conspiring to kill Americans. Many on Twitter pointed out that Bout was the inspiration for the Nicolas Cage movie "Lord of War."

In addition to critics claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin got the upper hand in this deal by getting back its "Merchant of Death," they slammed Biden for the fact that the U.S. did not even get back U.S. Marine veteran Paul Whelan. Whelan has been sitting in a Russian prison since 2018 with a 16-year sentence for espionage charges.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy brutalized the trade in his Thursday morning tweet, writing, "This is great news till you Google who Victor Bout is and realize Biden just got taken to the woodshed on this deal. This has to go down as the most lopsided trade in the history of trades. What happened to Griner was beyond f---ed but this feels like a short sighted PR stunt."

Sports journalist and conservative podcaster Jason Whitlock was not impressed with the trade either, commenting, "Help me wrap my mind around this Griner-for-Death trade. Feels like one of the lowest points in US foreign policy history? Or am I exaggerating? Give me some perspective. What compares? Bay of BIG 2.0?"

RedState author Bonchie tweeted, "To accomplish this, you put a murderous arms dealer back on the street, and you left the US Marine who has been there three years out of the deal. Griner shouldn't have been sentenced to nine years, but bragging like this? That's pretty gross."

Now understand, neither Whelan nor Griner should have remained imprisoned in Russia. Whelan was convicted of speaking against the Russian regime, while Griner was falsely accused of cocaine possession.

That said, why on earth should we prioritize a pot smoking basketball player who demanded that the WNBA stop playing the National Anthem, over a genuine American hero who has literally spent a lifetime in service to our country?

To say Biden's priorities are messed up is an understatement. He hates America, so it comes as little surprise that he prioritized someone else who hates America.

But as a military mom, this makes my stomach turn. Congress should penalize Biden by forcing a remake of all the woke rules he's imposed on our military now.

Paul Whelan says he feels betrayed by Biden.

We ALL feel betrayed by Biden and his relentless woke agenda.

Elect me so I can reverse this. ([link removed])

I united the party in my district. And when the lines in my district get redrawn before the 2024 election, I am the Republican who will win here and go fight the woke agenda!

I almost beat the Swamp in 2022, but I'll not fall prey to the same story twice. I am asking you to fight alongside me! ([link removed])

I'm YOUR fighter in the Swamp. Your support ([link removed]) is crucial to bringing American values back!

For God and Country,
