First, some context: ♦ A trillion dollars is one-thousand billions. ♦ A trillion seconds is 31,709 years. ♦ The last federal budget that went through regular order was signed into law in September of 2007. ♦ Today is December 23rd. ♦ Obamacare was passed in the Senate December 23, 2009.
Today, the Democrat controlled House of Representatives has just passed the Senate constructed $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. The massive spending bill now blocks the incoming Republican congress from impeding the Biden agenda and heads directly to the installed occupant of the White House for signature.
Most of the House republicans who voted to approve the spending bill are retiring, they include: Liz Cheney (WY), Rodney Davis (IL), Brian Fitzpatrick (AL), Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA), Chris Jacobs (NY), John Katko (NY), Adam Kinzinger (IL), Fred Upton (MI), and Steve Womack (AR).
The 2022 Omnibus bill includes $45 billion for Ukraine in addition to changes in election laws intended to block the American people from interfering in the legislative business of Washington DC in the future.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi celebrated the House passage calling the bill “truly a package for the people,” where people are defined as those who live and congregate in Washington DC to indulge themselves at taxpayers’ expense. There is no larger disconnect.
Speaker Pelosi continued by saying, “members have planes to catch, gifts to wrap, carols to sing, religious services to attend to,” she said, adding that the time reminded her of an English song: “Christmas is coming, goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man’s hat.” No, I’m not making that up – she said that.
WASHINGTON DC – The House on Friday approved a mammoth $1.7 trillion funding package, capping a chaotic week as party leaders dashed to avoid a shutdown and an intensifying winter storm just days before Christmas.
It passed on a 225-201 vote, with one Democrat, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), voting present. Nine Republicans, most of whom are leaving after this Congress, voted for the bill, while one Democrat voted against it: New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. (read more)
I think we all know what comes next…..
They don’t fear us.
The do another 4 letter word on us. That’s how much they fear us.
Remember … killing Trump is really killing us.
To the
American People:
1) Congress is a criminal enterprise
2) Knowing Congress is a criminal enterprise, most modern Presidents have either been criminals themselves or complicit.
One was neither.
3) The modern media and most major corporations benefit from the criminality. Some are criminal themselves while others stay silent as they observe the criminality.
4) The Intelligence Community is an extortion ring.
5) The judiciary are largely corrupt.
The mass of people who actually vote Democrat are pathetic morons, stupidly aiding and abetting their own and the whole country’s death and destruction. Even more galling is the righteous superiority of their totally self-involved mindlessness.
…and this country is a narco terrorist, people/child trafficking State…
…add that to your list, TL
Thank you.
You should be relieved to know that we have the best congress money can buy.
And made in china.
Manipulated could be a better description, but I agree with your point.
Yes we Rs have the majority in the House but we can’t do anything. Look at those Democrats, if only we could stop them. Donate to elect our R senators, President and house members in 2024. Then we’ll show you what we can do. We’re so mad.
😄
Hope that was sarcasm
100% sarcasm.
Rg dat
The dark sarcasm of the abattoir.
Not going to give ANY of them spit!!
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.
The reason Mitch McConnell prevented any budget negotiating by the almost here new Republican House majority, is because he wanted to reward the DOJ and the FBI for helping remove Donald Trump as the duly elected President of the United States in 2020. It was not only payback but he knew he had to act fast; he knew that the newcomers were elected, by voters, to insure that the FBI would be defunded as punishment for what they have done.
Now, instead of defunding the FBI for their Gestapo like tactics, which Elon Musk has also documented, via the “Twitter Files” dumps, he, instead, helped reward them. In effect he bought himself, and other coup conspirators, additional protection.
Instead of punishing the FBI he signed on to a bill which empowered them. He approved of a pay increase and financed the construction of a 375 million dollar new building solely for their use and enjoyment. And he also approved additional spending to pay for attorneys, not to protect those incarcerated illegally in the DC Gulags, but to insure that they be further prosecuted and persecuted so as to remain there.
I think
Trump gained votes.
They’ll steal more…
No consequences for bad behavior means bad behavior continues.
McVeigh was about 27 years too early and about 7 states too far west.
Offcoursenation…..I think that is the perfect answer. It’s a sewer and they are all protecting themselves. Unfortunately I believed the old buzzard when his plan was to get more Republicans in the judiciary. Little did we know that his choices would be as corrupt as him and the rest of the sewer. They have stacked it all against the people….MAGA sees it, the rest are blind.
God curse his soul…His body, too.
“ctrl+galt+del”
Well done.
Not mine, but thanks. Keep reposting it because I wish the brilliant Treehouser who came up with it will come back ’round to be congratulated for it properly.
We all steal up here!
…or as I prefer to say, I “borrow”.
Ctrl-galt-del. Lol! I saw it on a wall! Use it whenever you can!!
Another $45 billion for Ukraine for a total of around $130 billion. But the Democrats couldn’t spare $5 billion to complete the US southern border wall when Trump was POTUS. TRAITORS!
LOL …..you still thinking that money is for Ukraine….you funny
The border wall was already fully funded.
Fence already created, biden has it laying on the ground going to rust.
And oh boy, this omnibus included language prohibiting any addition to the border wall or patrol.
They should fear us.
#Iwithdrawmyconsent
Gotta hand it to the Democrats. They look for every way possible to win and stick it to Republicans. If Republicans were a real party they would have done the same thing in 2018 after they lost the House in the midterms. Of course, the Democrats filibuster everything and fight for their terrible principles unlike RINO Republicans.
Mitch McConnell must go!
Let’s face it, they really don’t have to look. In fact it’s probably universally in coordination.
The republicans love it when we believe that they are not as clever and devious as the democrats instead of recognizing that they are in on the corruption.
McConnell doesn’t elect himself. The entire R senate bloc votes him into leadership. They all have our blood on their hands. That’s why the R team is the worst kind of hypocrisy.
DC is a dark matter vortex. Its evil will seep into anyone who makes their identity and living there. I don’t know what the purge will look like but when it hits it’s over… no more blogging about it.
First thing the republicans need to do in the next session is cancel remote voting.
I hate to say it, but you are assuming they actually object to remote voting, mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, Dominion, illegal aliens voting, ranked voting, being able to hold corrupt states culpable for their electoral illegalities, no voter ID, the elimination of one day voting…. I could go on…
My view is that the GOP has absolutely no problem with any of it.
They have absolutely no problem with any of it. GOP controls the majority of states.
Yup. Pretty sure that’s how the GOPe quietly torpedoed the MAGA-strong candidates in our state primary. Along with the RNC financial non-support.
Doom On Them
See Ronna Romney McDaniel call Kari Lake a “failed candidate” after she, as RNC chair, pulled all funding and support for the AZ Republican gubernatorial candidate.
Undeniable… and damning.
Problem with it? They’re just bummed they didn’t think of it first.
They probably did think of it, Greg…then passed it on their little ideas to the their partners in corruption, the Dems.
Correct. That was proven in 2020.
As has been noted here previously in many ways, absolutely zero support for any of the efforts to clean up elections from the controlled R wing of the Uniparty. I believe what has been exposed “in these pages”, the 4th branch is in charge.
It is not republican vs democrat. It is Uniparty commie globalists vs We the Little People.
…no Left or Right (per Catherine Austin Fitts)…
Them vs Us
Them
is the
We
of
Yes WE Can
Amen, my friend..correct. Words mean what they say they mean. It’s our fault if we misinterpret them.
Should have added an /s to that last part….
Most of our Repubs are uniparty… and they will not fight the Dems… I hate to say it to our elders but Charlie Kirk is the only young guy out there with fresh ideas along with DJT… He is in the fight to win… Most of our Repubs are there to line their pockets… He put Rona in her place…
Frens don’t let frens vote GOP.
They want a private little club, give it to them. They can be themselves all by themselves. All it takes is one cycle to destroy them, one cycle of no votes for gop.
Merry Christmas Mitch, you got your way.
This bill is a Christmas present exchange gift party between republicans and democrats.
Simple as that.
Pat yourselves on your back.
You jerks.
People need to resist this illegitimate Federal Govt in meaningful ways. The Declaration of Independence contains wise words about the correct response to “a long train of abuses and usurpations.” However do not forget that the Internet is forever and extremely public.

And sand gets ground into dust. Have fun with that.
It is time for a Trump Party.
I hoped he would have done it already but there is still time, not much, but some.
Not enough time for 2024.
Look how the Bull Moose Party worked out. (Wilson) We must beat them down. Start local, this has taken years to get to, it will take years to reform.
It’s to late for all of that
What comes next? Massive TAX increases … followed by Revolt and Revolution.
The uniparty doesn’t need to exlicitly raise taxes.
By printing more money, they effectively tax everyone by devaluing our money.
The grubberment class, including CONgress and their sponsors, get cost-of-living increases to offset the resulting inflation. The working class peons get nothing.
The government doesn’t print money. If they did, we wouldn’t be paying interest on the National Debt.
MASSIVE NON COMPLIANCE AND A TAX REVOLT
General strike would work. Else, government has business by the short hairs over withholding, which is most of the tax. We can also cease buying taxable goods. To fund a general strike, of course we’d need to remove retirement funds, investments and savings from the financial industry.
Economic warfare. There are of course more kinetic options but that’s a good start.
There all kinds of funding increases in there for ATF & redflag gun laws.
Second look at AOC? /s
That’s literally why she voted no, for the attention.
I’m still nauseated from my initial look!
Good time to remind ourselves that we, as a disenfranchised people have been here before.

Amazing, if you replace King George’s name with Biden, you see the tyrant…one in the same.
I did that same thing. 🤯
Federal debt thereby increases by 5.4%, up from $31.4 trillion to $33.1 trillion.
Much more inflation to come.
FallRINOs.
FJB
On January 1, 1835, the Treasury announced that all federal debt was paid since Jackson insisted that tariffs be applied to debt.
What a difference from today’s horrid government.
Yesterday . . . . . . . and today.
Need a Constitutional amendment eliminating lame duck Congress. Wishful thinking, never happen. Wish there was a way to hold each member personally accountable for their votes. No consequences for bad behavior means bad behavior continues.
Yet another glaring oversight in our constitution. Do not think our system got it all right. A Secular republic is a disaster in the making.
When I see republicans vote with marxist democrats on out of the ordinary spending bills, I have one thought. The problem in Washington D.C. and Congress is that tomorrow, EVERY republican will treat the 27 Congressional republicans as though they were long lost friends. There are no circumstances for these type of votes that go against the conservative agenda. When the head of the GOP, a Mittens Romney family member, doesn’t express an opinion about these turncoats, it’s a sign of weakness in the party.
Well, and also a sign of complicity
The vast majority of Republican Senators would have voted yes, as they are leftists that support the agenda.
They only voted No, knowing their vote wouldn’t prevent the bills passage.
Now we’re really, really mad. Donate to Winred today, because we’re really mad.
You first. Go.
Winred LOL!
do you not know that most of that goes to the RNC ( Ronna McDaniel Romney) aka the swamp
President Trump uses WinRed for his donation sites. They charge a small administrative fee for their service.
It’s about 4%, and it ALL goes into private RINO pockets.
I believe Puzzled is fully aware. It’s sarc.
…
You. Outrage. Money. NOW!
Obviously you need a tag /s
All Democrats are Democrats.
Some – perhaps a majority – of Republicans are Democrats.
No Democrats are Republicans.
Oh, and third parties don’t work in our system. That’s why the Democrats fund the Libertarians.
That said, God is King, whether the Democrats like that or not.
Merry Christmas!
Yet we keep being told a 2nd party is a dumb, ticket splitting idea.
Wonder how dumb it will appear from the smoking hole formerly known as the United States?
Was “2nd party” a Freudian slip or your actual (correct by the way) sentiment?
Second party referenced by any denizen of CTH acknowledges the reality of the Uniparty and the futility of reforming or controlling any portion of it.
We’re damn serious about going around our abusers, lest we be forced to go over them.
We started with no Parties. We should go back to it. Parties take care of themselves.
I noted a few days ago that I’m turning the corner on taxing the super rich income and wealth. In a normal world I wouldn’t, but they are mostly all commie leftists and never have to suffer the consequences of their sanctimonious virtual signaling that we end up paying for. 98+% tax on income and wealth.
The likes of Robert Di Zero and Leonardo DeCraprio need to feel what they vote for. Jeff Bozo, Mark F***erburg, etc.
The rich will never tax the rich.
“….changes in election laws intended to block the American people from interfering in the legislative business of Washington DC in the future.”
———————————–
Could someone discourse on those laws?
The DNC & RNC corporations are separating our government from us. They have been for ~120 years.
Oh, this is funny, but not ha ha funny;
Remember the united false narrative, saying that Pence, and Congress HAD NO CHOICE on J6, and HAD to certify the electoral college votes, submitted by the States?
They said it is THE LAW, despite a historical record showing Congresses and VP’s doing just that.
Anyway, in the Omnibus, they included a section specifically saying Congress has NO authority to challenge State results as submitted to them.
I have read but seen no details, that this provision also prevents State legislatures from refusing to certify election results.
Two ways this could backfire on them;
One, itsUn-Constititional on its face, particularly with regardto State Legislatures.
Secondly, if PDJT wins in 2024, or ANY true MAGA Candidate wins, ever and anywhere, you can bet they will want to contest it.
Are they shoring up their defences, which implies they feel vulnerable, or are they expressing confidence that THEY will never need this mechanism for challenging elections, themselves?
Anyway, in the Omnibus, they included a section specifically saying Congress has NO authority to challenge State results as submitted to them.
> So, the VP can still challenge results?
> What does attorney Robert Barnes say about this?
==================================
I have read but seen no details, that this provision also prevents State legislatures from refusing to certify election results.
> Unconstitutional. States, not the fed, run their own elections. Fck the feds.

Brian Fitzpatrick is from PA, not AL. Unfortunately, he is my RINO congressman, although I have voted against him in the primary consistantly.
Some of you are focusing on the wrong thing. The money is printed from thin air. They’ve always done this. That’s NOT the take here. PAY ATTENTION. The take here is: “addition to changes in election laws intended to block the American people from interfering in the legislative business of Washington DC in the future”
They are LITERALLY setting themselves up to remain in power forever. They will cheat, IN OUR FACES and they are ensuring we can’t do squat about it. You may say, “we’ll take them to court!” How has that turned out? Is Kari Lake the Governor of Arizona or is she going to court with a judge that looks like another coward in a long line of judicial cowards.
What you say is true, but it has been the case since the “coup d’etat” on November 4th 2020.
The US as a republic died that day and something was substituted in return.
Whatever that something is that is pulling the strings we have yet to see the full scope of.
Maybe a bit dramatic, but don’t know of a nicer way of saying it.
just the fact that this monstrosity originated in the Senate makes it UNCONSTITUTIONAL….all spending and fiscal matters are to originate in the HOUSE
Amazing, when are they going to start paying for the loan they just took out? Just wondering.
https://www.usdebtclock.org/
There’s no intentions of ever paying that debt down.
Only to grow it and get richer in the process. Then they’ll leave the taxpayers with the tab when the bill comes due while they abscond with their ill-gotten wealth.
Commie Nancy’s “LET THEM EAT CAKE!”
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. Please put a penny in the old man’s hat. If you haven’t got a penny, a half penny will do. If you haven’t got a half penny then God bless you!
So disgusting! I truly pray for a lightening strike upon her
It appears congress has embraced the smash and grab, flash mob, sucker punching, swarming techniques of their minions or vice versa.
This now brings the US debt to 32 trillion, Romney isn’t retiring but utahns are working fast & furious to secure a candidate who can knock this Godless, hypocritical parasite out of the senate seat and take his despicable niece with him. The fact that this bill provides billions for funding border walls of foreign countries but not our own is beyond impeachable..
Even adjustes for inflation, the U.S. is spending more for our new 51st State (Ukraine) than we did for Louisianna purchase, and Alaska combined!
Remember when we bought NY island for $23?
Ah, THOSE were the days!
Charlie Kirk said today that it was the ultimate F-U to those of us who want border security. Just brazen.
Revolution.
And over 200 of these people voted from “home”!!

Still can’t get over hosting up the Ukrainian flag in the United States House Chamber.
I meant “hoisting”.
Too much Christmas Wine.
Well, if this does not trigger a civil war, then I will be surprised. Will the U.S. military take over the government?
Arguably the worst part of the package is the money for so-called red flag laws. These allow the government to “legally” steal your firearms and strip your due-process rights even in the absence of a crime. Credit to MAGA patriot Lauren Boebert for discovering this blatantly unconstitutional scheme.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/another-nasty-surprise-gop-sellouts-gave-biden-regime-11-million-target-gun-owners-repulsive-omnibus-bill/
Not gonna happen. The US military is currently being actively purged of patriots and the remainder recruited, or re-trained to ignore their Constitutional role in “…defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Too many Cultural Marxism squirrels to chase, courtesy of their so-called civilian “oversight.”
Yes, I’d expect the military, meaning those human soldiers we tend to respect and honor, will kill us if ordered to. At that point decades of pent up hate will be vented and kinetic won’t begin to describe what will happen next.
Maybe it’s time gun owners did some targeting of their own.
Ex-parte laws are clearly unconstitutional. They are also used to steal money and control from seniors.
Missy, what place did you select.
A $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. If memory serves me, I think it might be as far back as 2007 was the last time these criminals did their required job of producing a budget, passing it through both chambers, and receiving the chief executive’s signature. These “omnibus” pork packages are beyond what was ever intended for our republic.
As John Adams said: “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.”
Irony is that the dereliction of their duties is mirroring that of the British Parliament and King George’s treatment of the colonies prior to 1776.
The Declaration of Independence even spelled that out for anyone that can read it.
Most of those scumbags were voted out of office. People should not be able to vote on bills if they have lost their jobs.
These people have voted to pour more money into war and yet ignore that at the heart of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace who said blessed are the peacemakers. Central to his kingdom is justice and righteousness that are totally disregarded by the leaders and politicians of our messed up world.
UniParty Sneaks in Funding for Gun Control Database That Foreign Governments Access Into Spending Blowout
As GOA explains, “This data sharing technology will upgrade ATF’s gun registry, after which the National Tracing Center will be able to more effectively search the 920,664,765, and growing, records in the registry and create a door-to-door confiscation list of Americans who lawfully purchased these newly banned firearms, such as AR-15 pistols.”
https://open.substack.com/pub/thekylebecker/p/washington-politicians-sneak-funding
America needs a second political party.
Most of the House republicans who voted to approve the spending bill are
retiringabout to begin lucrative careers as lobbyists to monetize their government connections while they collect pensions and free medical care on the backs of working American’s taxes.There. Fixed it for you.
Those horrid people!
Middle finger merriment$
to each and everyone of them.

McCarthy shouldn’t be Speaker if he can’t fake his opposition any better than this.
Kevin McCarthy is totally faking it. He wants this Bill just as much as McConnell and Schumer. This is just the deal they worked out so McCarthy wouldn’t have to stop it later.
These people are the lowest form of criminal parasites.
Interview with Col Douglas Macgregor on the insanity of the United States pushing the conflict in Ukraine including a discussion of the uselessness of a single Patriot Missile Battery:
Macgregor says over 100,000 dead Ukrainian troops plus 35,000 missing. Russian dead 30,000 to 35,000, at most. So, at least 4 times as many dead Ukrainian troops as dead Russian troops.
Is it worth it, Zelensky? Of course, Lindsey Graham thinks it’s all good.
There is no longer any shred of consent of the governed in this county.
Victor Davis Hanson, that most mild-mannered yet passionate man, has been saying this all year long and he ends with “And that is very, very dangerous.”
I think we all agree, yes, very dangerous, indeed.
The UniParty rules … of, by and for the criminals in the District of Corruption. They hate us and want us dead.
Too pissed to comment
I’m not just pissed, I know I’ll start more arguments if I open up here, so don’t say what I really want to say. Maybe not even pissed, just maybe afraid to ask what I wanted to.
After reading what Sundance had to say, it is probably best I don’t go any further, but I want it known that I do believe as most here seem to believe. Decided that even tho I’m way beyond the age for not getting the poke, I’ve done enough reading to decide that even tho I have a couple of the “bad” things; diabetes and high blood pressure, I refuse to even consider the poke. I’m looking at those few that I know who took the shot, and even a son who says he didn’t (but he was a know for not being truthful) who have either gotten really sick or died. It is confusing to me, but I still will not bet the poke. I morn for all those who have gone on before me and just hope I go before
Mr. biden kills any (or many more.) but I am tired of fighting for what I do believe.
