I LIKE the idea of four separate bills.
These ideas should each stand on their own.
Each congresscritter should be separately on record for each issue.
I like this approach. No hiding the banana.
Scheme? Why is Breitbart so negative? How about ‘Plan’?
I would support future Speakers who are NOT House members. Nearly all of them are compromised, and those who aren’t are unelectable as Speaker.
America is 10 times bankrupt, headed to 11.
American living standards are plummeting. But NeoCon priorities will be funded. They control the former USA.
Separating the bills gives non-spenders the opportunity to rally against each idea.
No problem.
TAX DAY
US Aid to Ukraine Amounts to $900 Per American Household, Economist Says
“The move would enable Johnson — once an ardent foe to continued American subsidization of Ukraine who has flip-flopped to adopt a fervency for more funding — to avoid passing yet another bill under “suspension of the rules.”
Flip-flopped with a Fervency for more Ukraine funding. Imagine that.
Team Lindsey
BORDER WALL

Zeepers claim that's not enough. Americans have to send every penny we have and when Zelensky runs out of UKES to stuff into the meat grinder, we'll have to send our kids.
Get rid of this wire tapping fraudster.
He is compromised by FBI and CIA no doubt.
Next. Is there not a statesman left in this country? Not one?
He must have been included on the grift.
nice.
Right on cue, PBS is gladly doing their part in spreading the bias of the Biden Administration concerning funding for Ukraine, by sending Amna Nawaz all the way to Kyiv to have a sit down interview with Zelensky, and airing it tonight on the PBS NewsHour.
FISA Johnson(D)Twisting into a pretzel to get our money to Ukraine.
It went to the Senate. It sits on Schumer's desk. He won't bring it to the floor for a vote.
Go after the Senate to bring it to the floor for a vote.
Nothing Johnson can do...it's the Senate you're after.
Speaker Mike Johnson may have to choose between Ukraine/Israeli aid and his job
Not content with US billions already in his pocket, Zelensky now says
he wants US tax dollars to Ukraine “according to the Israeli model”......here’s what he means:
Congressional Research Service
US Foreign aid to Israel
60 page detailed report

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.
Biden keeps gaslighting Americans about the “need” for
American foreign aid tax dollars to Ukraine and Israel.
Here’s why they DONT need it:
About $113.1 billion in tax dollars were authorized in 2022 for Ukraine, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of it–about $67.1 billion–was defense-related. The other $46 billion included:
<><>$26.9 billion for economic support;
<><>$7.9 billion for international disaster assistance;
<><>$6.6 billion in assistance for refugees;
<><>$1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia;
<><>plus $3.1 billion for other non-defense spending.
US tax dollars helped Ukraine
<><>pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders
<><>our tax dollars helped sustain critical healthcare services,
<><>helped meet pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people,
<><>our tax dollars assisted 1.3 million internally displaced persons,
<><>provided housing assistance to 4.1 million people,
<><>provided social assistance to 240,000 low-income families
<><>our tax dollars helped subsidize 480,000 persons with disabilities,
<><>bought supplies for farmers,
<><>financed finding markets for small business.
“Me, too,” whines Zelensky.
The White House is set to approve an $18 billion arms sale to Israel including several dozen F-15 fighter planes. It would be the biggest arms sale by Washington to Tel Aviv since the start of Israel’s war against Hamas on October 7. The arms handout has been under consideration since the United States received a formal request in January 2023.
Speeding up the delivery was among the main requests from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant when he visited Washington last week. Gallant held talks with U.S. officials including Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. The F-15s need to be built and would not arrive in Israel for several years. Israel wants to increase its air power not just to fight Hamas but to deter the threat from Iran and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah.
The military package includes a large number of F-15 aircraft, aircraft munitions and support services, training, maintenance, and many years of contractor support during the lifecycle of the aircraft, which could be up to two decades. CNN reported that the agreement may include up to 50 F-15s.

Zelensky’s a pro at manipulating public opinion to get his greedy hands on our tax dollars.
CASE IN POINT
President Trump mentioned the possibility of turning tax dollar billions for Ukraine into a “loan. “
Rotflol......Zelensky knows that routine. Its already been tried.
Few years back, billions more of our tax dollars to Israel were handed out———designated a “loan.”
But Israel got its lobbies to manhandle Congress.
The battered, bruised Congress sap-happily passed a law turning the “loan” into a “gift.”
