Within the budget process there are two different facets. Congress is charged by the Constitution with making decisions about how to spend public money. Those spending decisions are split into two parts: authorization and appropriations. In the recent political era the “authorization” process has essentially been nulled; no one ever asks if the program (Ukraine, Israel, FBI, etc.) should be funded.
“Authorization” is done by Congress via legislation that “can establish, continue, or modify an agency, program, or activity for a fixed or indefinite period of time,” per the Congressional Research Service. In other words, authorization is Congress saying that money can be spent on a given item — not that it necessarily will be spent on that item.
“Appropriations” are done by Congress via legislation that authorizes agencies to make payments from the federal Treasury (i.e. it allows them to spend the money that had previously been authorized). Appropriations bills are ordinarily passed each year, but in recent years it has been common for Congress to fund the government “on autopilot” via continuing resolutions that simply allow agencies to continue spending the same amount of money they were spending under the previous funding bill.
Matt Gaetz has been trying to change this dynamic because the external recipients of the appropriation spending, the lobbyists, are the ones driving the continuation of the CR approach. The lobbyists pay congress via campaign donations. Those donations come from congressional appropriation. The CR process maintains the largesse.

TRAITORS! Anyone voting for foriegn aid is a TRAITOR!
I would say anyone voting for this particular DOJ and many other three letter agencies is a traitor to our Constitution.
The DOE, NIH, CDC, EPA, etc. etc. do more harm than good, certainly not enshrined in the Constitution. There are extremely powerful executives never elected into office making decisions that significantly impact US all.
Exactly!
DoE? Would that be Department of Energy or the Department of Education? What the heck. They’re both a waste of time and money! Clean house—literally!
DOEducaton and DOEnergy were both created by Jimmy Carter as payoff to teacher unions and Big Oil for funding his political campaign
Jimmy Carter.
Now the 2nd worse President.
Correct.
1st is Obama.
2nd is Carter.
Biden is not a duly elected President and ergo cannot be ranked on the list.
well then put an asterisk next to Biden’s name
Well, he is the sitting president, so like it or not, he comes in 1st and everyone gets to move down a position.
How soon readers forget that presidents aren’t elected democratically but by the Electoral College. If those EC votes put him over then that’s all that can be done. DC can’t force states to change their certified totals.
That was the Treason of Mike Pence.
He COULD have rejected the electors and asked the States to prove their votes were certifiable under their current State laws.
Most of the swing states could not have proven that. We in fact now know that they broke many state laws, i.e. signature verification etc.
BUT … It could have and should have been sent to the House, with the 1 state, 1 vote provision. God damn Mike Pence to hell, preferably sooner, rather than later.
But it’s really Obama’s 3rd term, so the original ranking should stand. Ubu wins hands down.
Carter was incompetent, but loved America and served his country in the military. Obama and Biden hate America and are self-serving ideologues . They are the two worst Presidents in American history.
FDR RUNS NECK AND NECK WITH Obama.
Recall that when Obama took office one of the first things he accomplished was to give every agency an across the board 25% increase in their annual budget.
That 25% increase needs to be deducted now from their annual budgets.
Now that would be green energy!
That came through the ARRA, or 2009 Stimulus bill, which was 25% above the existing budget, and was promised to be a one-time expense.
The real damage came when that $1T, “one-time expense” got added into the 2010 Baseline Budget, and then every year thereafter. Obama knew what he was doing. Evil.
And we haven’t had a properly appropriated budget since then.
As an aside, the Social Security surplus, which had been borrowed out since 1968, finally ran out in 2010. Very coincidental, yes?
Johnson and Johnson are one of the families behind the WEF, and we already know how they profited from COVID.
They have a super AI computer hidden somewhere, that maps out what needs to be done in order to bring it to fruition. Everything we are seeing has been planned.
https://www.weforum.org/publications/global-risks-report-2023/
1, How do they know?
2, If they know, why don’t they work to stop it?
We know the answer. Trump was trying to stop all this, and they don’t want it stopped.
that’s interesting because Johnson and Johnson covid one shot vaccination somewhat disappeared
all the medical facilities and drug stores were only giving out Pfizer and Moderna
Johnson and Johnson and other monied families are WEF.
Their vaccine is still used in Europe
“The Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine expired as of May 6, 2023, and is no longer available in the U.S. Those who did get the J&J shot are considered up-to-date when they get one updated (2023–2024 formula) “
There are several people I know who chose j&j. I would consider them somewhat connected. They went out of their way to obtain that particular one.
One in particular got really afterwards. I have kind of been watching. There are 3 different people that I know who were all in on Phifer. They either were employees or former employees. At least 2, have aggressive cancer issues. While it could be a coincidence, I am taking an educated guess it is not.
Going to keep my tally.
House of slithering here, check non of the above.
Plausible deniablity? They all work together.
Any Republican who says he’s for America first and then votes to send $100 Billion to Ukraine and Israel is lying!
No more wars on the other side of the planet. The war is at our borders.
Can you say FU Hawaii and Illinois any louder?
Been trying to get a message to Johnson, Ukraine is lost..no more money. Russia did good taking out bad actors…. Israel stay out, and our border bill subterfuge.. no to illegals and NGOs.
Israel has more money than us, one of the richest countries in the word. Time to stop. same with Urine, no more $$$. Look to our southern border for funds… Not for processing, but for CONTROL of the border.
PDJT’s view on Uke $;
EU collectively comparable GDP to the U.S.
THEY are much closer, and presumably more “vested” than we are.
US $150 Billion, EU $15 Billion,..no more until they pony up and get even.
Which, frankly they ain’t going to do.
Or, another ‘reasonable’ approach (to no $ for zalenski) is lets see an ACCOUNTING of where the $150 Billion went, before we send any more.
Again its REASONABLE position, with end result if no $ to Uke.
As for Israel, stop the insane funding of HAMAS, IRAN and PLO. That SHOULD have been announced on Oct. 7,…actually should have continued the PDJT policy of denying them $.
“no more until they pony up and get even. Which, frankly they ain’t going to do.”
If they were really as afraid of Russia taking over EU countries they would have no problem ponying up.
So why aren’t they? Bc they know the US will do it.
I don’t remember the US asking aid money from the EU for border security…?
In fact, I don’t think I can remember a single thing the US has EVER asked from the EU that would have a benefit to the US!
so, I guess it works both ways.
it’s just a money shuffle….
and even if it’s not planned that way.
for instance…only about 20 percent of aid, food, medicine gets to “civilians” in gaze.
same thing in Ukraine.
same thing in Afghanistan
same thing in Iraq.
same thing in mexico
same thing in Vietnam
same thing in Korea
same thing in JAPAN
notice the trend.
the US has established a means to create crisis, then fund it…and everybody gets paid.
trillions.
God Bless America
Just to add insult to injury, Britain is still sending foreign aid to China and India among umpteen others.
Meanwhile good old generous Uncle Sam is “helping” us out. Thank you.
No new $$ for IsraeIl. It should find itself from now on.
Terrific. Israel has a need for weapons. Biden Obama holding that as a way to coerce israel to do its stuff.
So… Is Israel going to BUY those from us, and do the American taxpayer get that money, or is it GIVEN to them?
Of is it a LOAN, or a GRANT?. WHO PAYS?
If Zuckerberg can give $400 Million to the DNC he can afford to give as much money to Israel.
What do “I” get in return;:says all the new American billionaires created by politics.
Actually, it was all our money anyways.
Fakebook is a cut out created with black budget funding (Lifelog) to build out the infrastructure of the surveillance state. We filled out the big data files on ourselves.
The Zuck bucks was just more taxpayer funds making the circuit back to shore up the pipes in the machinery.
^^^^
Just tired of all the distractions. MAGA is “America First”, either you support or you don’t. New House Speaker is not MAGA, he supports CR and $$$ for Urine. His first response should be Southern Border, No, it is Israel.
New boss, same as the old boss. He switched sides so fast, some folks didn’t even notice.
Many are praising him because he is a “man of God”. Even if he does what McCarthy would do, they will make excuses and look away and consider the backstabbing as Godly..
This is not to dump on “men of God”, but keep in mind Pence is supposedly “a man of God”.
A man calling himself or others referring to him as a “man of God” cuts no ice with me; rather, “by their fruits ye shall know them.”
I will make my assessment based on what he DOES, not what he says or is said about him. Satan himself can appear as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14).
You people are so emotional all the time. No one is going to agree with anyone all the time. It’s not possible. You will agree much more with Johnson than McCarthy. Be happy for that.
No offense, but I hope you enjoy your Crow. If I’m wrong I will be humbled to eat mine.
God bless America.
So … Have you contacted the Speakers office, his Twitter, etc?
You think they are going to do something? Surely you jest.
Johnson’s SOH email is conveniently UNLISTED!
The US has given Israel over $ 150 billion. Over $16,000 for every man woman and child. Will there ever come a day when we stop?
And how much $ to HAMAS?
To the PLO?
To IRAN?
It seemed like the enthusiasm for the Ukraine money laundering op was seriously waning when Israel’s Intell that is closely allied with our criminal intell, had a ‘failure’ like they did on 9/11 so they could start a different money laundering pipeline
Just a thought, rumor is that homo clown boy Zelensky and his cabal that run him, have the goods on ‘our’ criminal politicians and have to be kept on a money feed or they will spill the beans. Thus a new money pipeline had to be opened to keep the money flowing and their mouths shut.
Reverse blackmail on pedo joe.
Ironic.
It’s speculation on my part, but the way things are going, i really do not discount anything offhand without researching it first.
Speculation with great knowledge, perhaps not Z but the DS.
i’ve assumed that since the Uke travesty began.
What if those beans were spilled and 75% of Americans just didn’t care? Or claimed the truth was actually lies?
Looking at those who believe 2020 was legit and the vaccines are safe and effective.
Exactly, Fionnagh. That percentage may be down to 50% if we’re lucky but gosh darn it we got
some real stupid people staring at their phones without a clue of what is really happening in the WORLD.
I thought cell phones were supposed to make people smarter but I guess it only works if you had a few
neurons to begin with……
Throw in some gubment-sponsored censorship and you got Whoopy on steroids. SAD.
Your questions are timely and legitimate. Thank you for raising them.
The truth is frequently left by the wayside or put into the trunk of the car when the powerful people who decide where the car is going would be hurt by honest revelations. The result is happening in plain sight with the weaponized executive branch, the Bidens’ corruption, and the routine creation and distribution of fake, leftist agenda driven news by the msm.
Do we really need the Zel for what we already know?
I have always thought the same. It may be true but I don’t think Biden and the swamp creatures care about what people know about their criminal activities anymore. They own the corrupt judiciary and the media. They also hold the power in all agencies in DC including the House and Senate.
Why do we think it is that we cannot get a SOH that is worth a hill of beans?
People on our side play by the rules and they do not. We can’t use those rules and stop them because they don’t play like that.
That was ALWAYS the case, from the start. Z. had Joe by the short and curries because of Hunter and prob previous money laundering. Z. just turned the screws.
Never buying the IDF, “we missed it” BS. Between IDF, Mossad, and the Israeli government, there is no way their paranoia would let them miss an invasion into their highly secured territory. But, but the hang gliders. sheesh!
Ya. They have received multiples of that back in Intel high tech and stabilizing mid east.
Meanwhile they spent trillions on Afghanistan Iraq and Ukraine and got less than nothing for it.
Israel the best investment america has made.
How so? Israel is about to become just another Ukraine in a long line of Ukraine’s! All so America can do this.
I really love that man. Love to see him as Prez someday.
And if they went to Madagascar and we were energy independent like PDJT & MAGA has us, these crappy sandboxes would be irrelevant like they should be and their peoples, not invading our countries to destroy them and to start the upcoming civil wars they have planned.
Absolutely, Colkitto. We have enough energy supply in ANWR to be totally independent on any of these countries BUT….. well you know the rest.
Our legally elected President Donald J. Trump, who won BOTH the 2016 and 2020 elections in a landslide, had China, Europe and the Middle East all stymied……and then the released the bioweapon.
F*ck them all.
Yeah, I’d like to know that too. Why do we give aid to wealthy countries and what do they do with it? Apparently, they don’t build up their defence because as soon as they are attacked we are on the hook for their war. I would live to hear from someone knowledgeable about what all these recipients of foreign aid use it for. And why do we pay them monthly forever?
Is this this year, or over time? Needs a qualifier…
That’s over many years. Hopefully you understand the strategic nature of that country, but I doubt it.
I understand it, but it’s SUPPOSED to be self-sufficient at this time. It’s been since 1948, SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS.
It’s an upper middle-class country, and they’re pumping gas out of the sea. Time to tax their people for their defense.
And Pfizer bought all of them, too.
Got the feeling this guy is not a BSer. From my mouth to god’s ear.
And my feeling is he watches far too much FAUX News, and not enough War Room, or reading here.
I like some, don’t like others, but I don’t get the Kevin-vibe like he’s playing us. I’m gonna’ give him a chance.
Team “Well, it’s done so let’s see how he does” represent!
When his first congressional action was to support a foreign nation and not to release the J6 tapes, that was it as far as I’m concerned.
He can drop on his public knees and say all the “Christian ” prayers he wants. Just another wolf in sheep’s clothing.
IMHO, YMMV
My benefit of the doubt bone is permanently broken.
Agreed. Maybe not the persecuted 1st amendment protesters under Constitutional rights to protest, but the Southern Border INVASION which is truly a treasonous act from the Federal Government, which its basic duty is to PROTECT OUR BORDERS from invasion. Why is this never brought up by the R’s??? The main function of our Federal Government is BORDER PROTECTION from invaders? Do we, the US citizen have no standing to charge the Federal Government from Treason and Sedition for not upholding the Federal Government’s foremost basic duty?
IANAL, but can anyone say why we cannot present a class action lawsuit against the Federal Government from not doing its basic duty?
Exactly Alex.
There will be no release of Jan 6th footage. Nor will they go after the impeachments of those not doing their jobs or upholding U.S. border law. They will not rescind the 87,000 IRS agents.
People are being baffled by the BS as more of the same occurs behind the closed doors.
Hey look a fire alarm!
without even watching the video, the tag headline at bottom says he is not opposed to a CR until January… WHY?
so, for his election and broad support, he is now giving our money to two forever wars and not stopping the spending morass.
what else was there thats within his power? all the other votes are pure posturing with Biden’s puppetmaster’s wielding the veto pen. he can control the money. so FQING CONTROL IT.
It’s in the details. Headlines lie. What he actually said was, “we’re working on single-subject spending bills, we got one out and have more coming up soon. *IF* we don’t get all of them done by mid-december, I don’t rule out a CR until January, but there might be conditions attached like a 1% spending cut.”
Careful. In DC, a 1% spending cut is actually a 5% spending increase instead of a 6% one.
He did specify that it would be a real cut, NOT a cut from the baseline budget (which is always an increase).
You are assuming that readers actually read. Or comprehend what they’ve read. Surprisingly I see as much or more misinformation on the Treeper threads as anywhere else. Good luck, Sundance!
For clarification I am speaking of the omments, not SD’s information-rich articles.
A 1% cut?? That’s a strict condition?? WTF? Better give Gaetz a nudge or two.
Question… In those 3 weeks, did the Appropriations Committee continue to work on the bills? … Or did they suspend their work, because they were waiting for a Speaker to give them “goodies” before they proceeded??
Inquiring minds want to know.
So, we need a 3rd category;
DE-authorisation legislation, where CONgress specifically shuts down an agency or Dept. and clarifies NO $ is authorised for it.
I understand Gaetz and Johnson are focused on changing the PROCESS, the whole “return to regular order” with individual, single issue aprop bills, no CR’s, Omnibus or Pass to read, and thats,…fine.
However, if these changes in PROCESS, do not yield changes in RESULTS, its all pretty meaningless.
For instance if they still spend another “X” Billions on Ukraine, does it matter that much that its in a seperate approps bill,..really?
I don’t want to see ANY more $ going to Ukraine, to Iran, to HAMAS, heck to El Salvador.
The Constitution, I say, the Constitution!
It has worth.
More Categories, NO!!
Where are those who desire, nay, demand, The Constitution and it’s form of government?
No more grandiose prose.
Give me The Constitution to live by.
I believe the results are intended to come through the corruptocrats’ fear of exposure, particularly the Repuke ones. CR’s and Omnibus allow them to dissemble and say they had no choice but to vote for the whole package because reasons and compassion and whatnot.
With new, separate spending bills, they will have to vote up or down on any large or controversial expenditures, which exposes them as voting against their constituents wishes as well as their own promises, no more hiding it.
THAT’s what’s got them so worried. How do they pay off their bribers without getting exposed and creamed in the next election?
He said, if I understand correctly, that they are looking at each of the spending bills and trying to set them up so that everyone understands what they are doing or asking. Are they working on the wording so that there are no loopholes to be had? No pork?
Bravo, sir. Well said.
Blah, blah, blah.
First interview – CIA/FBI Hannity; second interview- CFR Bartiromo.
What I heard:
Israel first, America somewhere down the line, money for energy and water, double talk on CR and stop gap measures, Ways & Means / Judiciary committees-same ole, same ole, Biden corruption-delays, etc etc BS.
What I didn’t hear:
J6 prisoners and tapes, border security / immigration / internal domestic threats, budget no matter what, defunding FBI, courts and other rogue agencies, NOTHING about Trump to include thanks for supporting him. And nothing about election integrity!
Right with you!
Johnson’s biggest and only task as SOH is giving our money away!
Let that sink in!
So in reality, Heritage America and the world is better off when Congress is shut down.
Well, “Nobody” aka “no, somebody else!” was my choice for SOH.
They are quietly changing the motion to vacate, to require 25 votes, just as Sean reccomended.
Would you posit that, making it harder to get rid of a Speaker, was/is the pivotal ‘zero to hero’ deal that was made to push Johnson into the seat virtually overnight? I thought that was very suspicious.
It all seemed too easy. IDK, perhaps it’s time to step back from the minutiae. It makes me want to shop for body armor upgrades. I keep getting this ‘things are about to get dicey’ vibe. Hope it’s just me. Here’s to praying for a really and truthfully Happy Thanksgiving.
He said in this interview the rule is still there, though he was a bit oddly uncertain it seemed, but he shrugged it off saying he’d work hard and transparently so he’s not worrying about getting KM’ed.
They are quietly changing the motion to vacate, to require 25 votes, just as Sean reccomended.
That there is Signal, not Noise.
Bingo. Johnson will do NOTHING to challenge the system. Nothing.
BK,
Yeah, I listened to this segment of CFR Dpox maritamo, earlier today.
I didn’t hear the same things you didn’t hear, and I DID hear, seperately Matt Gaetz is singing Johnsons praises, as loudly as aqua.
So, if Johnson only delivers chaff, Gaetz OWNS this, and is exposed as just another layer of controlled op, a new charachter in the ongoing kabuki theater that is CONgress.
We had ONE shot, at truly addressing CONgress and we didn’t take it, and we won’t get another like that!
Well, to his credit, MP has been claiming ever before Johnson was even a twinkle in anyone’s eye, that is all just a show, kabuki theater.
yup. where is the J6 footage? he’s been in charge a week now.
Thank for your patience listening and giving your feedback😀
Great points. Not good. And that POS Hannity made sure the conversation followed all the neo con points. And this is disturbing. He’s a huge Hannity fan! That is NOT what the voters are looking for. No more neo con crap and not one more dime to a foreign land.
They’re trying to guilt us because it’s Israel. Israel puts themselves before us, our leaders need to do the same.
And everytime we get involved in a war for the last 70 years it’s gotten worse. Let’s do Israel a favor and stay out of it.
We are BROKE. We are in emergency times. Our nation is crumbling under the corruption you mention and his priority is more of the same.
The American Empire (to call it that) is going bankrupt and bleeding American blood for foreign interests. Oddly enough, we’re following the EXACT same path the British Empire was led down, starting w WWI. The result will be the same.
So, who benefts from this manipulation? I’d really like to know.
China
BK, Is your blood boiling as hot as mine? Your list pretty much sums up the REAL PROBLEMS our country is facing right
now, not to mention the Deep State (aka Global Bankers) destroying our country with the help of the Uniparty.
I’ve shared my plan here before of how I would start fighting this evil but it’s apparently too “rogue” to print, even on
Sundance’s site…..sigh.
No plan, no win.
Not really boiling. I kinda expected it, unfortunately.
I’ve been following this thing we call DS/IC long before I engaged here. To be honest, before CTH existed.
However, no one has ever brought together my general observations together as well as Sundance has provided with his investigative journalism.
Much less the education I’ve gotten from him on political parties and personalities (Dutch and others too on that).
I would differ with you on an observation you make. The Globalists (formerly known as Internationalists in times past) / Bankers are the apex. They use the DS/IC to control the political parties (Uniparty) while simultaneously grooming, educating, selecting and then elevating to office through direct funding. The DS/IC act as an enforcement arm for them.
While optimistic in awakening the masses before it’s too late, I’m starting to get exhausted from time to time. It wears on my soul real bad.
I hear ya loud and clear. I only had vague guesses why our government did the things it did/does until
I found this site. Sundance really opened my eyes to the evil know was the US government.
After rereading my comment I agree with your belief that Bankers are the apex and the source.
Funny how we all hear about Soros and the things he does to destroy the US but no journalists that I read
(at least those still breathing) ever pen an article discussing who the “Bankers” are…….although a quick
search of the top ten banks in the world show the top two are Chinese. Hmmm.
“known as”—US
You might be missing a key level of the game.
Go read TheGreatTaking. I read enough of that short book to verify the author’s bonafides. I have enough experience over decades with how the structure of the stock market has been modified to agree with him that TPTB carefully set up the entire real asset economy to fall into their sole possession in one vast collapse. The book is wonky, it is technical, but if you saw the shift from individually held paper stock certificates to management through CompuShare and the DTC, you will know the author is correct about the design and the intent.
But – and this is a very big but – the author missed something that slipped by almost every observer during the Plandemic.
President Trump looks to have been three steps ahead there as well:
https://badlands.substack.com/p/master-and-commander?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
As billionaire businessman, President Trump was unlikely to have missed the construction of The Great Taking.
I can’t forsee how this is all going to play out. I can say, we are going to be heading down top category financial rapids. I hope our seatbelts that we Treepers have strapped on these past few years will be sufficient to see us through.
I’m not very sure about it though.
Maria didn’t ask him any of those questions.
Spot on.
Is it possible that Johnson can’t say the obvious out loud? I am with you on your sentiments, yet JFK met a short street after he announced something similar.
Speaker Johnson, like President Reagan, will be great not just because his policy and wisdom in decision making is strong, but because he is a great communicator – the ability to compellingly explain what and why. From this comes consensus, from consensus greatness.
Not if people here are still homeless, hungry, and unemployed. His job is to direct funds that help Americans, and not to corrupt Nazis, and the richest diamond merchants in the world!
The naïveté of some bloggers here astounds me. I believe NOTHING about Johnson until I see his actions. So far, I’m not the least impressed with his rhetoric.
The despair and unceasing anger of other bloggers astounds me.
There is life beyond the blogosphere.
It’s no fun being Jeremiah, I assure you.
The bite creeps in, even though it’s not a good development, spiritually.
As BK says, after a time it wears on your soul. Even more so when you see how the sheep are headed for destruction and they all bleat their contempt at any warnings you throw their direction.
As St. Paul says, I am innocent of their blood. I have tried to stand a Watchman. It hasn’t gone very well. I’m counting my sorrows. Those past and those inevitably to come.
I hope you see this my friend. It’s for you and some of the others here,list would be too long and I would be sorry if I missed any.
Thanks mate.
You always come through with something when I need it.
Apparently not for some.
The same naivete expects a new SOH to come crashing in, wielding his sword and spouting promises they will like. And they all have votes. I do not trust that kind of emotionality and laptop commando nonsense. Hostile cynism never fixed anything.
My two bits say they never contact their lawmakers directly. Just bla bla bla on internet forums.
he will eventually have to do something more than talk gooderer.
Balderdash – sorry
Really, shouldn’t we give the guy a chance to even become speaker? He’s making a start and he won’t be perfect, but he WILL be better than McCarthy, Scalise, Emmer or Jordan.
It is up to us to educate him because he may not know what we know. Since he’s been in Congress, he may very well have been focused on just his committees. We need to make sure he knows what we know.
Bannon’s Warroom has a “Bill Blaster” app you can find on BillBlaster.com (or refer to Grace Chong’s GETTR account) that lists the direct contact information for Congress.
When you call them, remember that your job is to assume they don’t know what you know and you are educating them. Be respectful and civil.
So, are you saying that after being in DC for years sliming around with all of these swamp creatures that is unaware of things we know and yet rose to the highest position in the House?
That would indicate complete moronic incompetence imo and therefore not be SOH.
He’s just in his fourth term, year seven. Which means that to achieve being elected Speaker with that (in)experience, the man is talented and respected. He doesn’t have tenure to pass out favors. He is quantifiably not of the swamp.
I can’t think of any other Congressman I’d rather have in that position right now. He is a Constitutional lawyer and a self-proclaimed Constitutionalist whose North Star is his Christian faith and Scripture.
His election was a much needed victory at a very crucial moment in time.
I am genuinely sorry for your upcoming ontological shock Aqua.
It is sort of like going through the looking glass.
Nothing will ever be the same, but Treepers will be here for you if you make it to the other side. Not everyone does. I hope you do.
I’m not prepared to give up on America, quite yet. So I’m not interested in “the other side”.
And, that’s not condescension.
That’s the experience of having held up my end of the “is the world too evil to even stay in it” conversation.
Waking up sucks.
Policy and decision making is strong ..😐speaker Johnson is a retard
To sum up his foreign policy
“We can’t allow Putin to prevail in Ukraine”
US “boots on the ground” may be required to “stand with Israel”
Supports Israel directly attacking Iran
Russia, China, and Iran are “the new Axis of Evil”
Why would Israel foreign aid money be any different then Ukraine Foreign aid that we all know is money laundering? I’ll concede the money laundering could be a lesser percentage than Ukraine. But knowing how evil and criminal these traitors are, why would it not be money laundering operation? Some say the Epstein operation was to keep the blackmail going on American politicians giving away our money to Israel, Ukraine, Palestine, etc etc
It’s not different! The Ukrainian debacle is coming to an end. If Zelensky doesn’t end it the Russian Army certainly will so Biden and the Neocons need a new gravy train excuse to pour our tax money down the drain. The only difference is that Mike Johnson is the new train conductor!
Urine $$$ doesn’t end until the one’s in power SAY it ends. Israel $$$ do not end until the one’s in power SAY it ends.
What you say is accurate, but only 1/2 of the story.
“Why would Israel foreign aid money OR $ TO HAMAS, PLO or IRAN ,…”
ALL foreign aid, military, humanitarian, to “assist in eradication programs” or”to foster gender bender acceptance, and womens lib tolerance in 7th century goat f*cker societies” …WHATEVER, are ALL really $ laundering ops.
Good one sir.
So what is the enduring purpose of all this profligate spending other than to purposefully destroy the country? The smart money guys are just that, and they don’t make stupid mistakes with OPM; they use it as a tool/weapon to serve their personal/political interests.
Good point. Soros made money betting against countries then actively working to destroy them. He caused a collapse in Russia and the Bank of England.
For the last 10-20 years he has been going around the world saying “America is a bubble about to burst” then putting BILLIONS into making us burst! Same modus operandi as everywhere else.
So maybe all these ruinous behaviors bankrupting and destroying us seemingly intentionally are because OTHER elites along with him are also betting against America with one hand like Soros, and like Soros using the other hand to help push us along into the grave.
🎯. Always has been.
Why give Israel, one of the richest countries in the world, ANY MORE $$$ then what we already give, $3.5 BILLON a year?
To buy our own politicians?
Already bought, next?
Laundering might not be as easy but they still have their fair share of far left progressive socialist/communist in Israel. Some of that money will certainly come back home to far left politicians.
Our Israel Treehouse reporter David has told us that there is a battle within Israel between the Right & Left. I don’t think the majority of the good Israel people & jewish people in America & around the world have figured out that they have a bunch of criminal/traitors/imposters in leadership positions like we do misleading Israel & the jewish people to destruction. My regards ma’am
Why is our government’s knee-jerk response to everything is to throw money at it? We have no money! We are up to our ears in debt, and our economy is on shaky ground. It seems only too apparent that the corruption is so deep and wide that their only purpose is to ensure that the USA of Money Laundering must go on, indefinitely.
Preach.
Short answer: Another $100 Billion in your money down the drain!
As the first installment.
Then more of the same in peretuity since once our money train gets involved the war never ends.
Keeping in mind this is Ground Zero of the most eternal conflict in the land where every war is a 1,000 year or more long rage fest. Once they put us on the hook there is no off ramp.
Spending level is set at fire hose. But there will be an uproar about the reduction of $ 1 on anything.
insidious
No on any more funding to Ukraine or the so-called border bill
Speaker Johnson,
Quickly I will say any money to Ukraine is not protecting US lives and treasure but instead flushing money down the toilet in a lost war/conflict.
The Russians did the US and the world a huge favor ridding the 46 (near the Russian Ukraine border)US controlled and contracted labs which clearly made and contributed substantially to the Covid 19 disease and bio-weapon called a shot. Add in the corruption of US and Ukraine officials, including I believe Biden, in money laundering and kick-backs to themselves and others.
Ukraine has totally lost and has had some 250-300k soldiers shot and killed. And have lost almost all territory and more. This is a lose-lose.
Child trafficking, child-abuse with organ and adenachrome harvesting and child sacrifice and other atrocities.
Include sales of US provided weapons, ammunition, materials being sold by Ukraine to other terrorists that US taxpayers have funded and to be used in the US and its allies.
Now the biden regime trying to drag us into Israel while they side with the Palestinians and Hamas which is a no all the way around. We need to totally stay out. The US is in total bankruptcy now as a country and has no more weapons, people or funds to provide.
Now to the so-called biden US border request. This is nothing but a substantial pay-off and out to NGOs and funding illegals in this country, transport to and within the US and so much more other than closing the border and repelling the mass invasion that has been at least 10-15 million since biden was installed and likely 65-70 million illegals in the country..which all need to removed and forever deported..post haste.
Things I said yesterday have no bearing on what I say today.
Says every Politician in the world.
Johnson already texted & emailed me today w/a survey + begging for money, sponsored by the RNCC (?)… left voicemail to let him know he will never get my $$$ as long as we’re funding Ukranian pensions and bioweapons, we have congressional reps who support terrorist org HAMAS, we continue to fund the weaponization of doj, fbi, cia and salaries of wray, garland, mayorkas, graves, sullivan, power, nuland, granholm, buttgig that have allowed these depts to become the puppet’s gestapo, we have a 24/7 invasion at our border of illegal gimmigrants that now stand at 10 MILLION since the bobblehead took office. The rule of law must be restored and govt employed marxists held accountable!
I’ve gotten several of those and believe me, they are NOT from Johnson but a fund raising organization using his name (now that he’s well known). Beware these organizations and send your donations directly to the candidate of your choice. These fund raising groups just use other people’s names to get your money.
In timing that is not, IMHO, coincidental, General Flynn goes to the hoop with the truth:
Congress is owned, lock, stock, and barrel, in part because some of them have been sleeping with children on CoDels:
https://t.me/bioclandestine/2476
General Flynn was head of DIA. If he didn’t know this statement to be true, he wouldn’t say it.
Prayers for General Flynn’s protection. If he wasn’t in the globalists sights before, he is now.
Everyone knows General Flynn knows where the bodies are buried. I’ve said before that phrase is more than metaphor.
He knows their names.
Do they remember the names?
He does.
Denny Hastert was a pedophile. How many more Speakers, current and past, committed the same crimes?
Someone check Mike Johnson’s travel records.
It is also not a coincidence that under Bidtn the operations here have expanded, to the point of delivering children directly to “Gentlemans Clubs ”
https://www.americasfuture.net/where-did-the-children-go/
Beyond the cost, cutting off the Ukraine Grift would expose our Criminal Disneyland there. And save the lives of countless Ukrainians by forcing Cut-Rate Churchill back to the negotiating table.
Of course, we lied through our teeth about the last Peace Deal, so Putin will rightly insist on “Trust–but Verify”. heh.
The corrupt swine who run this shit-show have managed to become the American Soviet Union, the New Evil Empire.
This is How It’s Done, assholes.
Rest in the Vine: How It’s Done
H.W. Bush tried to have RR killed to continue the “cold war”. War seems to be the DC answer to everything, no matter the private corporation currently holding the “most votes”.
I was watching Al_Nusra Front operations in the Golan heights a few years back from my sources and kept wondering why Israel wasn’t hitting them for us since we were told they did 9/11. I figured that was what a great friend and ally would do. But of course turns out Al-Qaeda was a CIA-Saudi-Pakistan construct. Still strange since radical islam is Israel’s enemy right?
God bless Matt Gaetz. Every patriot (however few) in Congress should be on board with him
Wars and conflicts in other countries always seems to be a major reason for the rapidly rising U.S. debt.
In a more rational and peaceful world, it would be easier for the USA to spend much more money dealing with its own internal societal problems and ignoring the insatiable and costly demands of the “military/industrial complex.” The USA is not unique in having a vast array of criminals like the recently deceased and mentally imbalanced mass shooter.
The horrendous and concentrated crimes of Hamas in Israel occur often in the USA and other western countries but the heinous acts are spread out across the nation and are often perpetrated by crazed and cruel individuals and not a well organized brutal death cult like Hamas. Imagine writing Bills to greatly increase mental health issues, maintain healthy lives, vastly improve the rotting public schools, maximize law enforcement and on and on. The list is long and the priorities vary across the nation.
Of all the brutal Hamas crimes the beheading and burning of babies is the most heinous and exclusively cruel act. But the horrors that some babies and young kids have to endure in most “civilized countries” from mentally imbalanced parents, pedophiles and so on is still horrible. Many die horribly or if they survive, they have to deal with the aftermath. The UK’s well organized East Indian grooming gangs raped and victimized countless young “white” girls and some elected officials and the media let it continue allegedly out of fear of being accused of racism and ruined.
Congress has not prepared a budget since 2007. That’s twenty five years of cooking the books and bleeding us dry.
It is not legal, The Constitution requires a budget and mandates the process.
15 years is bad enough to make it seem like a lot longer. I get the strong suspicion they’ll be kicking the can down the road past the 2024 election, at minimum.
Federal reserve! Why do they talk like government does anything towards spending or not? They don’t control anything.
You got this moron and chief doling out money to all his family and friends, it ain’t his money.
Calmly he talks of a $33,000000000000. Debt. Meanwhile nothing to stop the rape of our nation.
Heal our own Country First; she is called America!
This doesn’t mean lining the pockets of crooked Politicians either.
this last part:
“Matt Gaetz has been trying to change this dynamic because the external recipients of the appropriation spending, the lobbyists, are the ones driving the continuation of the CR approach. The lobbyists pay congress via campaign donations. Those donations come from congressional appropriation. The CR process maintains the largesse.”
I read that 4 times. It never really occurred to me, the bigger picture of how K street and congress work these deals. I also was not aware that Matt Gaetz has been trying to change this. I knew he has been on point with many issues and has been remarkably successful in getting these issues right at the national level of attention it deserves. I’m not surprised it’s Matt Gaetz… but this is really a tsunami wave of new information I just experienced. That moment when you can see the bigger picture.
It would be good to continue this and expand on this with more details. I would definitely be interested in how the sausage is made and who the players are who are trying to gain control of the out of control corruption.
God Bless America
I have herd Matt Gaetz say many times that he is the only one who doesn’t accept money except from small donors.
He really doesn’t need money. Most have forgotten the squawking on threads like these that he had no business being in Congress; that his wealthy Daddy had bought him his seat.
How many federal agencies, can the country do without and function even more efficiently? Most of them.
Correct, just how the USA was originally set up. Small federal footprint.
Department of Education should be first to go. States and counties and cities should be enough to handle school. National Weather Service is another such entity that is not needed. Private companies do just as good a job. United Stated Postal Service is not needed since the time of the Pony Express. This is just the beginning of areas to be cut.
MAGA’s work areas are the state / local entities. All federal incumbents are compromised…..all of them.
Yell and prod at them but don’t expect much.
President Trump’s MAGA / America First movement is regaining control of the federal government by coming back up through the states, as the founding fathers planned.
……with a “full Constitutional Republic mandate”, (1)
………not by just changing out the government’s executive suites on inauguration day.
…………and not by having to deal with the unconstitutional administrative state’s maze of controls and roadblocks built up over the decades.
………………but with a speedy de-naturalization and deportation policy to remove the treasonous, traitors and interlopers, aka President Ike.
The post-COW-coup -d’état era will be a form of Zero-based government that de-funds the unconstitutional administrative state’s maze of controls and roadblocks. Ending the weaponization of the federal government against its citizens.
Footnote (1):
In reference to the “full Constitutional Republic mandate”, Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“A strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means.” 1,2
footnotes:
_____________________________________________________
Thomas Jefferson knew that at some point in the future, traitors would take over the functions of the federal government. Their faux legal actions/rulings/laws don’t require a strict adherence to them, but there must be strict adherence to the original Constitution, aka “full Constitutional Republic mandate.”
👉That’s a great American 🇺🇸 history reminder 👈
💯Thomas Jefferson is right ✅️ on both the “letter and spirit” of the what would dynamically drive our Republic.
🤔Either the exclusive “letter” following “Saduccees, Pharisees, lawyers and scribes” will maintain their political mastery or those who follow Life, Liberty 🗽 and Freedom proclaim release from such tyrannical bureaucracy 👊.
Start by a 10% cut in the appropriation. Watch the hysterics by the deep staters.
They’ll release Antifa and BLM but they’re busy doing pro Hamas.
And the millions of illegal invaders to augment the ranks of the Obama Organizing For Action recruited BLM/Antifa domestic terrorists. that is a large reason of why they are pouring them in here criminally. War is coming, just can’t tell you when they are going to set it off.
think “the Purge” movies
A balanced budget would result in an immediate 8 percent cut to GDP.
In other words, to get a balanced budget you have to accept a deep recession. There is no way the clowns in Congress will ever vote to step off the gravy train into the abyss.
There is no way out except to declare bankruptcy.
Amid all the Middle East and WWIII sound and fury, something is sneaking up behind, and at this point I don’t know whether to view it with horror or welcome it as the end of at least some of the pretending.
On November 1st, Janet Yellen is going to reveal the government’s additional borrowing needs. I’m betting it will be a figure that will shock the markets, and maybe even drop the final curtain on the debt bubble.
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/specter-hyperinflation-looms-over-economy
The bond yields on the 10 year T Bill last week went briefly above 5 percent. Why is that important? First, in a challenging geopolitical environment, there was not nearly the flight to safety in US Treasuries that there would have been even 3 years ago. Instead, the flight to safety took a turn towards gold, which is now as above $2,000 in Decembergold futures contracts. That is, in hard assets, just as the article above predicts.
Second, the bond market is orders of magnitude larger than the stock market. So any major shift in bonds impacts every sector of the economy.
If, on 11 1, Yellen announces a confidence wrecking amount of borrowing, and if the 10 year T Bill shoots up not just above 5 but even higher, the stock market will react sharply, several more banks may fail, and . . . Boom. Crash.
Depression.
The “in an instant” that Tucker Carlson just warned about would happen.
Third, in that scenario the Foreign Exchange Departments of the Central Banks everywhere else in the world would be crushed. From Sweden to Switzerland, all that heap of offshore dollars (trillions of them) would collapse in value, and all those dark pools and derivatives and credit default swaps would cascade down, down, down.
Did you wonder why China, Russia, and others spent the last decade storing up vast quantities of gold? There’s your answer.
What geopolitical calculuses would change in response?
We will see.
Can Mike Johnson sell his foreign aid plan then? Without the pitchforks coming out?
This is a much larger subject that is currently getting zero attention.
Gold will end FED

The take on Jaime Dimon selling 12 percent of his stake in JP Morgan is that he is getting ahead of a further cratering of banking industry stocks.
However, I’m seeing a more interesting possibility. Forced liquidation under 13848.
He already sold, I think , a Chicago mansion. Now he sells as much of his bank stock as could be done without completely tanking the stock?
Rothschild furnishings. Clooney Lake Como mansion, Paul Anka mansion, that Jesuit property in the Northeast, and that’s just a start. Every week there’s another one. Drip, drip, drip, drip.
Maybe.
My forefathers lost half their money they had in the banks. They had actually worked for their money. I despise these scumbags not only for that.
the list would be long friend. I remember seeing the sadness in my father’s face when he drove through the city he grew up in and loved that the democrat’s destroyed along with his business. His little brother was killed in combat while pulled from a very promising athletic career in college.
the stories I heard and the little I saw would shock most here.

Perhaps the Israel “conflict” is cover for the financial collapse you spoke of? Nothing gets Christians riled up more then anything to do with Israel.

Yes, for the first time that I remember gold is decoupling from the dollar. They always rose and fell in sync. But this last week gold went up and the stock market went down.
Has there been any push for a Central Bank Digital Currency as of yet? I want to empty my savings into metals if there is a whisper of it being pushed in Congress. If the Dem’s get it passed, they can take anything everyone has by foul means. Just like they did to the truckers in Canada even worse to overcome their massive debt and to reset America.

or forced donations from taxpayers
One needs to look at the root cause of all that lobbying largesse- it is Fed who granted trillions to its favorite banks and hedge funds at nearly zero interest (ZIRP) allowing them to make mega billions and increase their market share to unheard levels where they can strangle their competitors particularly small business. It is and was one of the greatest scams in history which allowed these banks, hedge funds and their corporate beneficiaries to buy the vast majority of politicians in America with the purpose of preserving their grossly criminal scam.
However, that said the bigger and more immediate problem is that these bought and paid for Uniparty Pols in Congress have gone a drunken spending binge that threatens to destroy the economy in short order- the Federal debt in the few months since the debt ceiling cave has grown a frightening $2.2 trillion with all sorts of unreported gimmicks which will force more huge QE money printing and drive bond yields through the roof which could cause a deadly debt spiral. The Fed arguably has already lost control of interest rates with rates rising beyond Fed moves.
This is a looming existential disaster.
A couple trillion needs to be cut from the budget immediately – I know , I know you thinks there is a snowballs chance in hell of that happening but….here’s how to sell it… unbeknownst to much of America the Federal Budget has grown well over 40% since 2020 mostly because of COVID relief scams in the Trillions – we should no longer be on a “Pandemic” budget so Speaker Johnson should use the 2019 budget as a baseline and cost of living adjustments to all the line items which is a politically defensible way to cut yes trillions in Uniparty scam spending
My granddaughter who has Sturge – Weber syndrome deserves my tax money as much as the Ukraine or Israel.
Bring our troops home along with all our money.
Fluck the rest of this depraved world.
Sorry to anyone who has put their Easter eggs in the Mike Johnson basket…what I just heard was same-ole same-ole backpedaling. “We’re looking at that” a/k/a “We here in congress are going to promise you the moon, and at the end of the day (pick any day) we will deliver nuttin.”
Vote them ALL OUT!
I expect fiscal responsibilty and accountability for my tax dollars. Endless dollars to support foreign wars is not in my best interests. Also, foreign aid needs to be reevaluated. We need to have audit audit and more audits. The laundromat needs to be shut down.
Hey Mike it’s that complicated. Concerning the budget just cut all budgets and salaries 15 percent across the board. That’s a start.
Whilst gazing at the”Comments”, I’m reminded of the old saw “Wishes: If they were horses, beggars could ride.”
On K Street, “Money makes the world go around…”
What a disgrace. Why do we agree to pay taxes for this shit show?
They are out of session until 12/31/2023. In other words on vacation for 2 months.
Give the new Speaker a chance.
Nice to see that the first order of business isn’t going to be the border or our crumbling infrastructure or addressing the Biden administration’s frontal assault on civil liberties or ensuring election integrity or addressing the 100,000 fentanyl deaths every year or any of the other issues directly affecting Americans, but in sending assistance to Israel, a foreign country.
OF course…b/c those $$ somehow end back up in their pockets….
NOBODY in Congress making $175k annually BECOMES a millionaire….NOBODY.
YET, we have congress-filled with millionaires…
And I’m aware some arrive as millionaires, like a Pelosi, yet she is NOW a mega-millionaire…IF she had INVESTED and SAVED every penny of the $175k, she would NOT have accumulated that much wealth.
And Pelosi is only 1 of hundreds…..THEY ALL BENEFIT.
And then they push “We will tax the rich” like we don’t know that is themselves. Hokey Pokey liars.
Every damn member of Congress save maybe a dozen) are whores. There’s no polite way to say it. They do immoral acts for money-they are all whores.
EVERY…is to the point…doubtful you will find 1 that has not been bribed….
I watched. Seemed like the entire interview was about Israel.
More money for Israel because Hamas did horrible things. Concern about universities having anti Israel demonstrations.
Single subject bills but a short term cr if they dont get their work done by 11/15.
Investigate Biden. This must be the bone they are throwing us. They may subpeona Hunter. As if anything will be done by the election or if it will even matter at this point.
Nothing for America. No talk of doing something about the wide open border or the danger it presents to us.
You know if the Mossad was running Epsteins island and trafficking children for our perverted politicians pleasure to keep them blackmailed then i really dont give a fig about Israel.
I resent foreign aid to any country. The best SOTH is no SOTH.
In the coming months I want USA citizens to FIND a way, and hopefully some atty firms help, TO SUE Biden, Homeland, Border Patrol, DOJ, etc for the UPCOMING massacres, deaths, murders, rapes, crimes these illegals thugs, criminals, vagrants, terrorists unleash on We The People, innocent.
Anyone watching these foreign country’s citizens being destroyed by the illegals THEIR GOVTS have allowed to enter?
Coming to a town, city near you and me.
We will be required TO DEFEND ourselves and families against terrorists OUR OWN GOVT allowed to walk in and then began to fund with OUR OWN TAX $$$.
Many don’t realize that the Civil War might have been about slavery, but, like every other war, it was rooted in money; it was essentially a “bankers’ war.” We’ve heard that before, right? Time and again, money and elites are at the very heart of these deadly conflicts. The slavery narrative was emphasized as a way to market the U.S. government as a “moral” beacon of light. Unfortunately, that portrayal is 100 percent false
President Lincoln waged the War Between The States to keep The Union intact. He stated very plainly that if he could preserve The Union by perpetuating the institution of slavery forever, he would do so without hesitation.
Break the bank Johnson. Congress has proof that Biden has all the money. IMPEACH!!!!!
Why do the pressing problems and crisis of the United States of America have to be relegated
to always taking a back seat to some foreign BS by these feckless mutts?
The way these politicians bow and scrape and prostrate themselves before Almighty Israel and it’s all powerful lobby is infuriating. It’s not the 51st effing state. It’s not even U.S. territory yet these feckless toadies fall all over themselves shilling for Israel.
As a practical geopolitical matter Israel is of little value to us and in fact is a major tripwire for World War 3 and nuclear holocaust. There is absolutely nothing about our relationship with Israel that is MAGA in any way.
It doesn’t matter to me if the $$ to Israel is “cut” from a budget..
If it’s being spent, ITS STILL DEBT.
I want the entire budget cut by a minimum of 10%, go back to 2020 budget figures, no “baseline” budgeting. Just cut it out.
