A spending bill backed by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) includes hundreds of millions of dollars in American taxpayer money for border patrol agents in Ukraine as illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border remains at record levels.
The spending bill, which 151 House Republicans helped 165 House Democrats advance on Friday, would see more than $95 billion sent to foreign countries — including about $61 billion to Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia.
Slipped into the funding package’s Ukraine spending is $300 million for “the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine 20 and National Police of Ukraine, including units supporting 21 or under the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

“So, is it our position that we want a Speaker who works against the majority of House Republicans?”
You bring up a pertinent point. The problem isn’t just Johnson’s weakness in caving to the Democrats. It’s that most of the GOP are weak and caving to the Democrats. But then again, perhaps the term “caving” isn’t accurate. More like... “assisting” the Democrats... and Johnson is just their current “leader”. I mean... look at the AH we still have as our GOP “leader” of the Senate.
The check cleared.
All that money makes such a succulent sound, welcome to The Boom Town.
As much as I hate the bill, if it included money for our border, Biden would spend it on something else.
There is NO SUCH THING as a DINO, but we are SWAMPED with RINOS!
Think of an actual roach,
that’s Mike Johnson
Democrats already control the House.
“So, is it our position that we want a Speaker who works against the majority of House Republicans?”
No, we want a Speaker who works FOR Americans,
Not for warrantless spying on citizens by the corrupt politicized deepState DOJ,
and - if he’s (and all the other RINOs) going to be a whore for Ukraine funding at least get paid for our border; he had an unbeatable hand yet he raised his skirt and bent over while smiling.
“Democrats already control the House.”
If you mean via the assistance of the RINOs, that’s correct. But officially, not quite yet.
The Border Patrol doesn’t need ANY money to secure our border. This is a ruse.
They need AUTHORITY restored to PROSECUTE invaders.
Biden reversed P. Trump’s Executive Actions securing our border.
