The GOP chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee was bullish Friday on the chamber delivering U.S. military assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, despite the “brainwashing” of some within his caucus who oppose foreign spending because of the crisis at the southern border.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was committed to eventually moving President Biden’s national security supplemental request, though the pathway remains unclear amid fierce pushback from the far right of the GOP.
Speaking during a discussion hosted by the Christian Science Monitor in Washington, D.C., McCaul said Johnson faces two challenging options: bring the supplemental to the floor and face a potential move to oust him from the far right, or let Ukraine backers in the party force the vote and undermine his power.

This report better be a load of hooey.
Why don’t we change the name of Freerepublic.com to The Hill? Every other article is from The Hill.
What is so wrong with demanding that the U.S. border be secure before spending money on securing the borders of Israel and Ukraine?
The only consolation prize is it doesn’t matter how much $$$ is wasted on St Zelensky , he doesn’t have the manpower, arms or ammunition to win.
Facts are facts, and i don’t believe in Unicorns.

Simple explanation. This whole thing is straw man. Whast’s happening at the border is a Biden Administration POLICY, no amount of anything will change it.

Wait... I can’t believe my eyes. There is actually an adult in the room...
Well how about that...
According to Zeepers, you're a Russian troll.
“ What is so wrong with demanding that the U.S. border be secure before spending money on securing the borders of Israel and Ukraine?‘
Because the fascists that are a clear majority of the U.S. government don’t get more wealthy or more power from securing the U.S. border…exactly the opposite.
Re: 3 - What *specifically* do you object to in the article?
Please practice discernment.
I'd say "You ol' boys just go ahead and you skin that smoke wagon."
"Gosh darnit."
If Johnson does that, many GOP voters will stay home.
Biden will get a 3fer. Many GOP voters won’t vote. Ukraine will get $Billions
and the Border will still be open.
Note to GOP-e: if it says “pathway”, it’s a trap
Yes he does. The bill can be AMENDED and sent back to the Senate.
The House DOES NOT need to vote on a Senate bill as is.
But the Congress had forgotten how to legislate.
No, but he’s got the manpower to piss away another big buttload of our money.
pass Ukraine $$$ and lose the House. It’s as simple as that.
The first bill Johnson put got passed was for Israel. Johnson and the rest of Congress hates America and isn’t America first, they never have been.
brainwashing ?
Blow it out your prolapsed rectum.
Spit.
Damn traitors.
And The Hill may as well be Media Matters.
the fascists that are a clear majority of the U.S. government
