If it was a Democrat sponsored bill, the media would be highlighting the bipartisan nature of the vote. However, because it is a Republican sponsored bill, the media immediately say the stand alone measure to support Israel is dead upon arrival in the Senate.
Joe Biden has said he will veto the House version of the bill, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he will not entertain the bill due to the pay-go funding mechanism (removal of $14.3 billion in IRS funding) and the fact it is not a package bill that includes support for Ukraine. Biden wants his $106 billion bill with funds for Israel, Ukraine, Hamas (via USAID), Taiwan and support for arriving migrants. Chuck Schumer is working with Mitch McConnell to put the combined package together.
Twelve Democrats supported the $14.3 billion House bill, and two Republicans voted against it (MTGreene and Massie). The vote was 226-196 for passage.
WASHINGTON – […] While aid to Israel is something both parties strongly agree with, Democratic support for the legislation broke down after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) added a provision in the bill that would cut $14.3 billion in funding from the Internal Revenue Service to offset the cost of the aid to Israel — prompting Democratic leaders to encourage party members to vote against it.
“It’s a bad precedent to set. It costs resources. But we have never conditioned emergency aid like we have under Speaker Johnson this week. This is wrong. This is wrong for Israelis, this is wrong for the region,” House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) said on Thursday. “This is Republicans playing politics with aid to Israel.”
However, Johnson and Republicans have defended the decision to add a pay-for in the bill because of the growing national debt.
“We are in dire straits as a nation,” Johnson said at a press conference. “We have obligations, and we have commitments, and we want to protect and help and assist our friend Israel, but we have to keep our own house in order as well. And I think people at home — I think the American people understand that.” (read more)
As noted by Politico, “I am glad that the president issued a veto threat over this stunningly unserious proposal,” Schumer said Thursday. “The Senate will not be considering this deeply flawed proposal from the House GOP.”
Speaker Mike Johnson remarks. Prompted:
Israel doesn’t need money it just needs support.
That’s called a whole bunch of money support costs for some reason in Israel but not in Ukraine
Strange for a reason.
True Colors are coming out.
See what happens next week.
Not seeing many blue and yellow lapel pins lately.
Israel needs weapons, ammo, and parts. They have had so many volunteers pouring in to fight or help in any way they can that they are said not to have enough arms and materials such as uniforms to be able to kit them out.
They need people who regularly do training to be able to get these volunteers as ready as possible as soon as possible.
They might even need food and fuel provisions.
There is relatively little cash that changes hands in that bill.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6126/text
And Ukraine doesn’t need support, it just wants money!!!!
Big Guy gets 10% of Ukraine money…
Probably more. Gotta pay those taxes on that high-cosy Rehoboth house, plus servants, etc, until Jill kicks the bucket.
The American ATM should be completely shut down to anyone outside of this country in these times.
How much cash does the government of Israel have ?
Or are they just like all the other bum countries with the constant hand out ?Where did all the billions and billions and billions in Ukraine go?
Our SS tracks every single dollar that goes out of country and they can tell who has been rapping this country?
The state department funds terrorist families for life in Gaza when they kill Americans soldiers.
Shut the ATM off to all
My question exactly! How much $$$ have we ALREAFY given to Israel this year? Last year? They have an upper-class society, why can’t they tax their own people? Are we an eternal teat?
I support Israel, but can’t we make it a loan, instead of a gift?
You’re obviously ignorant. Israel has an ‘upper-class society’ you’ve got to be kidding! 25 or 20% of Israelis live below the poverty line.
American policies have been funding Hamas forever.
America sends 100 billion to Ukraine and weeps and wails about 5 billion foreign aid to Israel.
Israel cycles back the 5 billion by buying American weapons etc. so it all comes back to America, doesn’t stay in Israel, all the 5 billion funds the wonderful (sarc) American military industrial complex.
You should be happy, not complaining.
So you say we give them 5 billion , they use that 5 billion to buy American weapons. And that’s a good thing??Who pays for those weapons to be built? I’m not that good at math but it sure seems like we are still out the 5 billion. Whether it’s the cash or weapons.
It doesn’t come back to “America”, it comes back to Raytheon, McDonnell-Douglass, etc. But the aid comes from me.
You can actually look this up in the US gov website. The US gives Israel annually approximately $3 billion a year. Now think of what it gave Ukraine over the past 2 years
120 Billion in 2 years to Ukraine I believe I heard on talk radio yesterday.
That pesky old Constitution of ours doesn’t allow US taxes to be given to foreign countries.
gOtTA sUPpoRt iSRAeL.
Get me off this ride.
stop all foreign aid !!!!!…country is in 34 T in the debt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who cares that Hamas grabbed American hostages…is that your position? Who cares that crimes against humanity were conducted? Who cares that this would send a message encouraging future atrocities?
The real world is locked into a messy, obviously violent, unstable dynamic. The First Idiot is being out maneuvered.
In my own mind, the moral grounds for supporting Israel are firmly established. Unlike others, however, I also view support as a lever for demanding, not requesting, changes in past Israeli actions that are not consistent with how partners are expected to operate. There are lots of subtexts to what is going on in the Middle East.
$14 billion is a drop, less than a drop, in the Federal deficit. Action in that regard falls along other, domestic, vectors.
If you’re “American” and you’re over there and not here, it’s your risk and not ours.
yep
I have been there multiple times. And your pov is extremist.
Will keep that in mind if you are ever kidnapped, family members beheaded, taken hostage, etc., etc., while vacationing.
American means American only if you live in the contiguous 48, Hawaii or Alaska. Got it!!
Will make sure all my friends in the military who are deployed there are so informed.
The US issues warnings all the time to stay out of dangerous countries. Right now, since Israel is stupid or devious enough to allow thousands of savages to come across from a little 10 x 14 mile enclave and slaughter many hundreds of people they should be protecting, they should be declared dangerous. Simple.
Mike Johnson did such a good job at this that he’s gone and hired Dan Ziegler as his policy advisor.
Dan is a large donor to Mearball and a Big Pharma lobbyist.
Any more questions about Mikey?
Nope…All congress is evil possessed!
Remember when…
Sen. Schumer promises big aid package to Israel on trip to Tel Aviv, where rockets force him to take shelter
https://www.nydailynews.com/2023/10/15/sen-schumer-promises-big-aid-package-to-israel-on-trip-to-tel-aviv-where-rockets-force-him-to-take-shelter/
“We came to Israel with a simple message for the Israeli people: We have your back. We feel your pain, we ache with you, and we as Americans and as senators will do everything we can to give you the help and support you need,” Schumer told reporters over Zoom.
What is happening now 😛
UniParty Special. The reason UniParty does not want to vote on single Israel package is it would require exposing UniParty’s disdain for Israel and piss off battleground states Muslims which vote almost exclusively dem.
Get the vote to include Ukraine and it hides the antisemitism and preserves the muslim vote for dems. UniParty repubs helping cover for dems.
So Johnson is going to be testing in Reconciliation. Maybe we can pry off a couple of Dem Senators.
Stuff like this just proves that Almighty Israel isn’t an ally, it’s a client state. We give them money we don’t have that our grandchildren will be paying for decades hence. We already give them $4 billion a year in direct military aid and who knows how much more in non-military and indirect aid. Then they tell us how to conduct our foreign policy and interfere in our domestic politics via ADL, AIPAC and other groups, all of them aligned with the DemocRat Party. Truly pathetic!
Israel is the tail that wags the dog.
How much “military aid” did obama, through biden, leave in Afganastan?
Apparently it is still going on.

I haven’t read one comment regarding USA’s interaction with Israel from a faith perspective. Most here know of what I reference and for those that don’t, well, I can’t help you. Suffice it to reference Gen 12:3.
You think USA is in bad shape now? The day we don’t stand with Israel will result in a time frame of total decline and the distinct possibility of our demise.
Don’t take my word for it. Read the Book.
You say that God will punish Americans if we don’t send even more large amounts of money to the government of Israel?
Here is Genesis 12:3 that MaineCoon cited as reason for the USA to support Israel:
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.
I feel very uncomfortable using the Bible to enforce today’s political arguments. This is an excuse to use human interpretation of God’s Word to bolster an argument.
The Lord was speaking to Abram in this passage.
I won’t write any more, as I am not a theologian.
My point is that folks have to be very careful to not mold God to their opinions.
I’m pretty sure that was in reference to all of the 12 tribes (a people descended from Jacob) not a geographical location that didn’t exist at the time.
That geographic landmass was called Canaan at that time, and Judea and Samaria when the kingdom(s) came into brief existence later.
The only folks who base their belief on having: to be very careful to not mold God to their opinions” are the very people I referenced that I couldn’t help as they are incapable of any cursory understanding of the entirety of the Bible. They are either unbelievers or Christians In Name Only (CINO). Based on your comment, you fall into one of these categories; hence, any discussion is rather inconsequential.
You are “uncomfortable using the Bible to enforce today’s political arguments” because you aren’t filled with the Holy Spirit. If you were you would be guided by the Holy Spirit. You have no comprehension, understanding, or wisdom of anything of which God imparts to the believer in Christ and I can’t impart that to you. Hence my comment “I can’t help you”.
That is far far more to my comment than Gen 12:3, such as Deut 27-28, etc., but you are veiled to not understand it based on Scripture (not my opinion). All the promises and Scripture are as much for the Hebrews in the O.T. and the follower of Christ in the N.T.; hence, the Hebrew Holy Scriptures are the Old Testament in the Christian’s Holy Bible.
Suffice it to say only one country (other than Ancient Israel, forever) was founded based on faith in the one true living God (Yahweh = YHWH to Jews) and that country is USA. There is no point in my extrapolating on that because you aren’t going to understand what I would say based on God’s Word.
Proverbs 4:19
The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.
1 Corinthians 2:14
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. You are spiritually blind.
Isaiah 44:18
They do not know, nor do they understand, for He has smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend.
I will give you the basic tip of my premise:
We can choose life or death. (Lev 17, Deut 27-28, Jn 3:16).
God extends grace (blessings) to the believer and unbeliever. It’s called common grace, “He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Mt 5:45 The difference is the unbeliever calls good things in his life “good luck”. The believer knows that all good things/blessings/common grace come from God, the creator of all things in this universe, and as such, is sovereign over all things in His creation.
Additionally, there is “saving grace”. This is grace, a gift from God whereby one believes in Christ and has eternal life with God.
When the non-believer dies, they are eternally separate from God. You could say this is 100% His withdrawal of all His blessings.
When USA overwhelmingly rejects God, and rejects supporting Israel, then blessings will be withdrawn from this country, but not from each believer.
Unbelievers or CINO have no understanding of His history of the world thus far much less is forecasted via prophecy. You just live for the day – carpe diem. You have no other compass to go by. Hence, you don’t have any spiritual understanding of what God is saying. Everything is a parable and you only see it as a simple story that doesn’t apply to life.
As I said, I can’t help you. It’s a far bigger issue and you’ve made your choice.
Your interpretation is of this earth, and I don’t truck with earthly dogma.
Sanctimonious much??
Quoting Scripture isn’t “earthly” it’s spiritual perspective.
But … At what point do we say “No,, I’m not willing to indebt my grandchildren to pay for your Iron Dome for the next 20 years”? Answer that question?? Did my family for 3 generations sign up to be an eternal teat for Israel??
The United States is never mentioned in the Bible. Many great empire’s are mentioned but not a word about the U.S. My interpretation of that is we do not last long or survive any great length of time and looking at the path we are on I am not surprised. Some of the great ruling empire’s of the world Ming Dynasty, Mongol Empire, Ottoman Empire, Roman Empire, are just to name a few that ruled but what do they all have in common?
They all Collapsed! Per the Bible we do not even make it as a blip in time.
There’s a difference between acting negatively and just leaving alone.
So, Bible verse not applicable.
Besides, we have brought enough curses on our heads with 60 plus million slaughtered babies, child genital mutilation, drug addiction, porn, and satanic elites and Satanic Hollyweird. We’ve got our own stuff to work out with God.
Giving Isreal 150 billion in “aid” over the last 50 years sure has not helped us in any discernable way to date.
We’re going down the S#-tter. Where’s that blessing we were supposed to have received?
Seems to have gone missing.
Or it never existed in the first place, because the Fabian Socialists “Israel” and the Kingdom begun by Saul at God’s not very happy consent (and dire warning they’d end up regretting that whole king thing) have nothing more in common than the name and the location.
Good questions. Astute observations.
Perhaps the USA still existing and in relative peace with no bombs being dropped on us directly could be considered a blessing. And the fact that there are millions of believers in this country that have been praying for our country and we have not yet been judged as we should have. But that time will come to an end, and it won’t matter how many guns you own. When the Lord’s judgment comes, nothing can stop it. If you read the Book of Revelation everything ultimately revolves around Israel and Jerusalem. That’s why so many evangelical Christians support it. And rightly so.
It’s unfortunate, our very narrow view of what constitutes a judgement of God. Read Romans 1:18-30. It can strongly be argued that America is already under the judgement of God. Culturally, we are utterly reprobate, a land where the “fringes” no longer exist but are the mainstream. Bad is now good, and good is now bad and to publicly declare yourself to be a Christian is to open yourself to ridicule. Out leaders are depraved and corrupt and have no qualms about impoverishing their own people to line their own pockets. The person holding our highest office is a demented, dementia ridden usurper whom his own staff worries will one day publicly humiliate himself through “lack of body control.” (enough said)
And to the immediate thread, no, supporting the Jewish people does not require impoverishing our own descendants, or even giving Israel a blank check to write this nation’s foreign policy. Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do for someone that you love is to say “No!” But in this case, think of it not in terms of Israel but of anyone who had suffered atrocity. Think of these crimes against humanity being perpetrated in an American city by foreign actors. What would our response be?
We can’t continue to print and borrow money as we’ve been doing – no nation can. But in this one instance, a forceful response is needed. Barbarity has to be stared down because it’s the right thing to do. And Mike Johnson found a saner way to do it, by not saddling our people with more debt. That’s worthy of commendation and shouldn’t be an occasion to argue whether we’re under God’s judgement (we are), or whether the Jewish people, on some level, deserve our support (they do). Looking at this on a case-by-case basis, which is how we should approach the needs of ANY nation outside our own, including the Jewish state, this assistance is worthy of us, and finding a way to fund it through other than borrowing or fiat money is the prudent way of going about it.
“Bible verse not applicable.”
You are either a nonbeliever or a Christian In Name Only.
I can’t help you, but my above comment to aDoozy addresses this issue.
Great response Alex.
Maine, your comment is based on the Bible, to show Christians and Jews have a religious relationship. … Keep bringing a Bible based Faith to the comment sections. We are all in a Religious War; even the atheists, agnostics, scoffers and pagans in our country.
Most people commenting ignore, the Militant Jihadists use of their Holy Writings, which are used by the Militant Jihadists to call for the death of the Jews in Israel. … The Christians, pagans, and everyone else is ALSO a target for the Militant Jihadists. … The Jews in Israel are just the closest target.
Remember, Osama Bin Laden and the attack on The World Trade Center in New York on 9/11/2001. … He was attacking the United States and Americans as ‘enemies’ of his view of Islam. … We are the ‘Crusaders’ in his/ their view. = [The Militant Jihadists of Islam.]
Many people commenting here, seem to think, if we withdraw from supporting Israel, the Militant Jihadists will leave ‘the rest of’ us, alone; = this is a dangerous thought, as the Religious Militant Jihadists are coming for ALL of us.
The USA needs to support Israel, as both a moral act and as a practical self preservation war.
God Bless the USA. God Bless Israel. … This is a religious war with the Militant Jihadists. = A war that has been occurring for the last 1400 years.
Osama Bin Laden was a CIA construction, like Obama, and the Bushes and the CIA ( and probably Mossad) did 9 11. We all know that here at the Treehouse.
This is a war between good and evil yes, but the evil is embedded in the centers of power in Geneva, the City of London, Tel Aviv, Doha, LA, and DC. The warriors for Good are the American people a/k/a The Deplorables.
The whole Holy War fairy tale has fallen to shreds as the truth has emerged.
Not gonna fly.
Go back to the A B testing and try again.
Alex, the history of Militant Jihad in Islam has existed for the last 1400 years. … The time period is much longer than the history of the United States, and the CIA. … Islam has a history of conquests by the use of war.
The Militant Jihad ~terror wars are occurring around the world. … As i said, ~this is a religious war with the Militant Jihadists. “We are all in a Religious War; even the atheists, agnostics, scoffers and pagans in our country.”
Osama Bin Laden was on a Jihad ~before any (if any) involvement with the CIA. … Just maybe, Osama was just using ‘money from the Western nations’ (if any) to further his Jihad plans.
Many Militant Jihadists call the USA ~The Great Satan. … When the Jihadists call Americans or anyone else ‘Crusaders’; this is referring to the Christian Crusaders battling against the Muslims in the Holy Lands ~800 years ago.
***********************
Once again, let me repeat two short paragraphs:
“Most people commenting ignore, the Militant Jihadists use of their Holy Writings, which are used by the Militant Jihadists to call for the death of all the Jews in Israel. … The Christians, pagans, and everyone else is ALSO a target for the Militant Jihadists. … The Jews in Israel are just the closest target.”
“The USA needs to support Israel, as both a moral act and as a practical self preservation war.
God Bless the USA. God Bless Israel. … This is a religious war with the Militant Jihadists. = A war that has been occurring for the last 1400 years.”

As a note: The communists say, the capitalists will ~sell you the rope that would be used to hang the capitalists.
Maybe, we (Americans) should now say, ‘Many of our politicians and bureaucrats will give taxpayer money and our weapons to the Terrorists, which then can be used to kill Americans and other people around the world.
…….. [The American weapons left behind in Afghanistan are ~now available for the Terrorists.]
****************************
& Some people just do NOT understand the power of Religion in our world. +’Leave Alone’ = We are also Judged at the End of Time for what “We fail to do” by a creator God in Heaven.
“the history of Militant Jihad in Islam has existed for the last 1400 years. … The time period is much longer than the history of the United States, and the CIA. … Islam has a history of conquests by the use of war.”
The Crusades come to mind, as you reference!!
“fairy tale”
You are an unbeliever. You reject God and His Word. Whenever I see strong statements like this from unbelievers, I say “Stand back everyone”….You are taking on God Himself. Things aren’t going to end well for you, Alex.
Thank you for this comment. Thomas Jefferson, in regards this issue, read the Quran, after conflicts with slave trade Tripoina. After reading, his actions speak volumes.
In my opinion only, Islam will be engulfed by the Christian ethos, or whatever one desires to call it. In the end, not necessarily the “End Times”.
Second: In my library is a small tome entitled: Conquest Via Immigration. This is a serious in your face assault, which has yet to fully engage in violence. We simply must be prepared, no matter the outcome of daily events.
The warnings have been from long ago, ignored or worse, used against us by entities within our AOR. Keep focused, stop sepending with Corp. , support the good, call the CRT schools when you see an article. The opposition wants the “Concord Bridge” Lexington Green, to be digital.
Since we all know, it is who counts the votes, not the voters, keep the pressure on. Godspeed, we are winning.
GGHD, You are a believer and have an understanding of God’s Word. He tells us everything – past, present & future, but only those filled with the Holy Spirit can’t know the meaning of what He says. I wrote more above to aDoozy. That’s why I say “I can’t help” the nonbeliever, which means there’s no way to discuss spiritual issues as they aren’t filled with the Holy Spirit. Your comment brings in good aspects that would give some clues to the unbeliever. Thanks for the insights.
Isaiah 10:20-27
Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overwhelming and righteous.
Deuteronomy 31: 14-18
And so it was.
Deut 31:14-18 This prophecy was fulfilled 722 BC and 586 BC
Isaiah 10: 20-27 This prophecy was fulfilled on May 14, 1948.
Prophecy fulfilled May 14, 1948 and god does not say they will ever leave the land He gave Him. But we believers know the end of the story and USA is not in it.
So very true, the USA is not in the end of this story per the Bible. My beliefs are that this is the battle between GOOD vs EVIL, and that this is out of our hands. We have reached a period in time that we have never seen before.
At what point can we stop? Can we give them a LOAN, instead of a GIFT?
BTW, I’m a Christian.
Your answer is in Scripture. Study God’s Word.
God’s tell us that at some point no one will stand by Israel (battle of Armageddon), but another prophecy must be fulfilled first and it is the fall of Damascus.
We aren’t there yet, that’s why USA will continue to stand with Israel. God is sovereign and He has ordained His history.
Secular people can reject God and His word all they want….good luck with that.
Also, Missy. We know from God’s word (Eze 38) that the last fight Israel has will include Russia as her enemy. Have you been keenly watching Russia’s comments in the current Israel-Hamas War. Russia supports Hamas. The opposition to Israel by Russia has escalated. Watch Russia. Watch Damascus.
I understand your concern and fears but America did pretty good from 1776 through 1947 when Israel didn’t even exist. Certainly we can support Israel without bankrupting ourselves. Israel is a very wealthy country and they have been preparing for this situation for decades. Certainly, we can lend them money and wealthy Jewish Americans are free to donate to Israel instead of the Democrat Party.
Thanks! No one seems to understand. Did you ever see this? Old, but relevant.

Love of Enemies. Jesus Christ speaking:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Even the Militant Jihadists should be prayed for, as the Jihadists travel the Road to Judgment and Hell. … The prayers for the ~souls Militant Jihadists can be said, while we engage in a Just War against the Jihadists.
Everyone is involved in this War, by their Thoughts, their Words, what they Do, and what they Fail to Do.
I have no fears CJ. I’m just relaying God’s Word. This is a spiritual war, which is far greater than the secular war issues.
Exactly!! Without the Spirit of God you cannot understand the things of God!!
Standing with Israel does not mean we have to pay for Israel.
Finally a deliberative person in leadership. Such an improvement over the previous speaker and assorted contenders that ensued.
If the Republican party controls the purse strings, why is the USA funding illegal immigration via NGO’s? That should be cut off immediately, if not sooner. Fund building of a border wall.
Likely things will change after the upcoming terror attacks perpetrated by the 100,000+ Chinese troops currently in our country, but by then it will be too late. Next few months should be telling, so keep your powder dry.
Because the last R House speaker supported the Continuing Resolution for the budget, which eventually got him tossed. Hence the Rs keep the funding going. We’ll see what Johnson does.
So, they stuff it full of money for Ukraine when it gets to the Senate?
No. That would never make it through reconciliation.
Sundance?
Why did you call the illegal invaders…migrants?
What really gets me is Todd Bensman from the Center for Immigration Studies calls them “immigrants”!!!
“Migrants” are invaders, just as “USAID for Hamas” is for weapons, and they will all skim off the top. Sundance just listed the buckets of blood money and sedition as ordered up by Jobama.
They are illegal alians!

Ben Shapiro talks about Israel vs Hamas and why he would
never support Biden over Trump
OxfordUnion
US journalist and political commentator, Ben Shapiro,
answers questions from the audience at the Oxford Union
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1NFirxhXWE
Little Ben is the Chuck Schumer of the Motormouth Division of Grifters.
I will take “Little Ben” serious when he suits-up & heads to Israel to defend “his” country. Sick of his never-Trump, motormouth grifting
Does Ben Shapiro support Trump?
I didn’t know speaking up for what’s right is country specific. What are you or have you done for yours? Are you American? From Israel? There are more so-called ‘American’ motor-mouth grifters that you can surely name a couple more?
You know not what you speak of. Notably lumping Shapiro together with Schumer is the tell all.
Knives have been out for Shapiro as it always has been for any one daring to speak the truth or say something the hearer do not agree with. Schumer’s call to silence Carlson is precisely one instance and THE reason Carlson’s report went viral in the first place.
In short, Trump is not the President Ben would have chosen, but he does support aspects of his administration and hopes that he will succeed as a President. And by succeed, he means adopt a predominantly small-government conservative platform where the power of the Federal government is largely weakened, and maybe chip away at the debt. Ben Shapiro does support other things that Trump has done (giving the military more leeway, taking a broadly more nationalistic approach towards international policy re. Judge Gorsuch.
Take it how you will. Someone can’t be mature effective enough to handle real threats to life and limb unless he/she can handle real dissent sans all the brain tri**.
they can stop spending money, doesn’t bother me in the least……additionally, they need to manage the ‘PR’ aspects of their approach to hang the ‘issue’ around the necks of the one who owns it……Schumer and McConnel, a long with the democratic party…….. go on offense and attack the lot of them with ads….. hang the albatross around their necks…..
House Republicans need to preface evey mention of their legislation as “bipartisan” and remind everyone that the US must borrow this money. A casual aside that “elections have consequences ” and a reminder that the Constitution provides for the House to spend the People’s money.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson hires Ron DeSantis’ donor and Big Pharma lobbyist Dan Ziegler as his policy director.
Nothing ever changes so long as they know they can, print, steal and borrow limitless money off the backs of the American worker. The Whores of DC do nothing but shuffle suites and bedfellows.
So don’t fund it. F them.
We’re done.
Israel has more money than the US does, so there.
Earlier tonight, I listened in on a tele townhall with my congressman, Nathaniel Moran. He does these about once a month. Tonight, he had Rep Cory Mills on the call with him.
They both said that they expect this emergency aid for Israel with the offset from the IRS funds. They both expect Biden to sign it too. Chuckie and Mitch and Biden will huff and puff but they will let the bill become law.
Cory Mills referred to Schumer and McConnell as as “the two Democrats.” LOL. I agree.
Bummer. Biden has no kick-back arrangements with The Jews. No wonder he’ll VETO the Bill. Then all the Muslims will be ululating in the streets and handing out sweets … because the Jews won’t get any US $$$$
Truth is that there’s so much behind the scenes going on and we may only find out after the fact. It’s clear that the Biden administration is playing with many decks of cards: Ukrainian – lots of stealing and mismanagement of the funds, Biden’s personal interest; Gaza- does anyone think our money will get to the right people? We have side deals with China (Kerry and Newscum’s visits), we’re certainly helping South America and Dominica, Haiti etc, by taking their people and their drugs, another side deal? Can’t forget Soros and Klaus Straub, Trudeau and Iran. And the beat goes on…
How does all this stop? The evil is everywhere and it’s blatant! So many are involved in our country and internationally , it’s gonna take more than a village.
Johnson wasted no time in creating a showdown with Schumer and McConnell, believing he represents a unified republican caucus. We’ll soon see how many of the unanimous House republican caucus votes for him to be Speaker are peeled away by McConnell.
The House republicans have all the leverage, if they stay united and commit to using it. I am unconvinced they will, and I am suspicious that the worst of the House RINOs have premeditated their acquiesence to the senate’s demands in order to embarrass Johnson.
Edit for spelling.
Schumer a Jewish Senator who got elected and keeps getting elected based on his religious beliefs and HUGE Jewish donations but now refuses to take up a bill to help Israel. Now that is one for the books. Perhaps if the US didn’t GIVE away Israels stockpile to Ukraine this wouldn’t be needed. Israel is very well equipped, but they still need assistance with weapons. Israel can account for all the aide given them, I wonder if Ukraine can do the same.
Of course the media won’t blame Schumer or Biden for hurting Israel after “The Worst Attack On Jews Since The Holocaust“™
to protect the funding of one of their weaponised agencies.
Alexander Vindman wants you to know he is coming after you unless he gets his money.
Didn’t these guys just also vote themselves a 34,000 dollar raise?
I love that the Schumer and the Democrats are accusing Johnson of “playing politics” with American money. LOL. The chutzpah.
No matter where you stand on aid to Israel – I support it because it is, indeed, a battle of good v. evil – you have to be encouraged that Johnson (for now) is following through on his promise for standalone spending bills. Taking the $14B out of already appropriated funds to the IRS – one of the most hated agencies in the fed government – is good stage craft. I also find it curious that Schumer is working with McConnell on a spending bill, when the constitution clearly states spending bills should begin in the House. I know, I know, how quaint of me to mention that pesky constitution.
Bottom line, doing the aid bills this way is a wonderful way of putting the Democrats and RINOs on the spot. It is also a way to show the great uninformed out there – to educate them – on why transparency like this is important. The IRS got $80B in that monstrous bill, exactly why are the Democrats bellyaching about taking a measly $14B from them when they’ve told us how “important” supporting Israel is? Another point to mention, you can see where the money is coming from, and where it is going in a standalone bill, so why are the politicians insisting on huge omnibus bills where it is difficult to see where the money is going? I have found it much more effective to ask these kinds of questions with the uninformed instead of telling them why. People will be much more willing to change their minds when they think it is THEIR idea, instead of someone else’s. And, at this point, waking people up is far more important than winning a political argument.
Quid Pro Joe Wants His Quid Pro
Hey Mike.
Just tell Biden, veto this bill and you will never see a bill for Ukraine.
That’ll send him mumbling off stage.
Close the laundromat!
Offset with a matching defunding of the IRS that protected the Biden Crime Family. Good!
I can understand why this isn’t widely reported in the MSM, the Democrats hate Jew and love terrorists. Everyone knows that, hardly newsworthy.
I do hope the new speaker has the stones to refuse Biden and Schumer’s demand for a omnibus aid bill. Israel is fully capable of concluding this war without US financial or military aid, Hamas doesn’t deserve any aid and Ukraine already has too much.
You’d think the seething anger at the thought of passing a single-issue bill that is arguably paid for would wake up those who are still blithely unaware of what’s happened to the country. What’s so wrong with passing legislation the way it’s supposed to be passed?
Jesus.
Western Pennsylvania needs $14.3 billion more than a foreign entity named Israel (killing children en masse), but at least we get a Speaker of the House of Representatives sporting designer frames, perfectly coifed hair, and a fresh facial.
“killing children en masse”. Who told you that, Rashida Tlaib?
In his first bill Johnson has delivered to his word. The rest of the mechanize- McTurtle and The Jew, want to get hands on the money. We the people, don’t want Ukraine, or Hamas to get money. We want them separate so we can see who supports what. No bundles, to much garbage gets added, like 34k for apartments & meals in DC for every member of congress, meanwhile the middle class can’t pay their bills.
Let Joey veto it then. Demoshits can own it
The U.S. needs to stop viewing itself as the world’s policeman and exporter of “democracy.” The U.S. also needs to stop funding and aiding foreign conflicts and foreign countries in general.
The establishment neocons on both the political left and right want the United States and other Western countries to intervene in the Israel/Hamas War on behalf on Israel.
The woke, far-left want the U.S. and other Western countries to intervene on behalf of Hamas.
Normal, decent, peace loving people just want the U.S and other Western countries to stay out of this war which isn’t any of their business.
There is no reason for Americans and other Westerners to be subjected to the needless death, harm, and destruction of this war.
All of the above also applies to the Ukraine War as well.
The U.S. needs a conservative party that isn’t full of Dick Cheney style neocons who are constantly banging the neocon drums of war like the Republicans and Democrats are both doing now with Israel and Ukraine.
I look forward to Biden vetoing this Bill.
IF Republicans were smart, when/if he does, they would not send another spending Bill…period
Let it shut down
I think we’re at least starting to turn in a good direction
You know how we know for certain that election fraud is cemented in forever? 12 Democrats. They expect no electoral consequences for their actions. Why would they? It’s over, my friends.
