Statement On President Biden’s Announcement of $1.2 Billion in Additional U.S. Assistance to Ukraine
President Biden’s June 15 announcement of providing an additional $1.2 billion in aid to Ukraine is irresponsible. The United States should not contribute more assistance to Ukraine until NATO members contribute more, and until there is accountability firmly in place and it is clear that the alliance is fully supporting Ukrainian goals and requirements to bring Russia to negotiations to end its aggression in Ukraine. Just one month ago Congress approved a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine with little oversight over how these funds will be spent.

I was initially intrigued by lemon because lemon is one of those flavors that can be good or bad. I was also intrigued because it wasn't a cake. I took a bite into this lemon bar and I was transformed into bliss. From texture to taste to presentation, this lemon bar was pure perfection. I immediately needed to know who made this. That is the start of my relationship with Chef Heather Davis, owner of Chic Sweets Fine Desserts and curator of the Luscious Lemon Bar!
