The House voted on Saturday to betray America and American interests. As sellouts go, this was a big one, even by Washington Uniparty standards, as these members of Congress basically flipped their collective middle finger at America’s working poor and its increasingly struggling middle class.
These globalist sycophants, led by the globalist Speaker Mike Johnson, passed three separate foreign-aid bills that will provide funding to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, transferring a total of $95 billion from the U.S. Treasury directly to foreign governments. The massive foreign-aid package now heads to the Senate, where it will be rubber-stamped and signed by Joe Biden.
According to Just the News, the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act was passed 311-112. The bill contains $61 billion for Ukraine.
This bill is not only anti-American, it’s anti-Ukrainian. Even more so, it’s anti-human because it will result in many more dead Ukrainians and Russians.
Included in the package is $300 million to protect Ukraine’s border.
See list of 101 Republicans who voted YES for Ukraine (at link).
The House then passed the Israel Security Supplemental with a vote of 366-58. It contains $26.4 billion to aid Israel. Taiwan will get $8 billion.
Some of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s GOP colleagues have threatened to oust him as speaker if he moved forward with Ukraine aid. He ignored them. Johnson is now so popular with Democrats that some say they will prevent Republicans from ousting him.
Congressman Thomas Massie, R-Ky., told reporters, according to The Washington Post:
“To send $100 billion overseas without reinforcing our own borders shows that we put America last.”
Ya think?
Massie and Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., have cosponsored a motion introduced by Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s to vacate the office of the Speaker, while Democrats including Tom Suozzi of New York and Jared Moskowitz of Florida have pledged to save Johnson if that attempt to oust him arrives, according to the New York Post.
Congressman Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., on Thursday called the foreign-aid package that funds the Ukraine war “America Last.”
I would call it something even worse: America’s betrayal.
And, by the way, you can bet your last dollar that the U.S. Congress will approve funding for securing U.S. borders, only after they have reinstituted the military draft.
I’ve been predicting this for some time, that a wall will be built, but only to keep us in, not to keep anyone out. They’ve already set the precedent with $300 million to secure Ukraine’s border with Poland.
The Gateway Pundit reports that Virginia Democrat Rep. Gerry Connolly declared, in an unhinged speech on the House floor, that “the Ukrainian-Russian border is OUR border.”
Connolly was raging at Republicans opposing the aid package to Ukraine before Saturday’s vote.
“Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first,” Connolly claimed. “The Ukrainian-Russian border is our border! It’s the border between depraved autocracy and freedom-loving people seeking our democratic way of life! Do we have a stake in that outcome? Yes. Undeniably, yes.”
The melodramatic pontificating continues with Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA). “Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first,” bellows Connolly. “The Ukrainian Russian border is OUR border!”
This is the twisted talk of a deranged Luciferian-influenced globalist. He’s no longer even capable of seeing the interests of his own people, and his definition of protecting America centers on how much of our hard-earned tax dollars he can ship overseas to foriegn governments to fritter away on new war-making mischief. It matters not that this policy of endless war is killing more than 1,000 Ukrainians per day, and their government is now kidnapping middle-aged men off the streets to send them to the front.
And any foreign government that acts to discourage or repress the worst aspects of humanity is labeled a “depraved autocracy,” while encouraging mankind to live in actual depravity is called “freedom loving” and “democratic.”
When the Uniparty operatives in the Democrat and Republican parties refer to “our democracy,” they’re referring to their version of a demented and perverted ideology that operates like a death cult. Their idols are abortion on demand (they only argue now over how old of an unborn baby it’s OK to kill), LGBTQ obsessions, toxic injections for all, and perpetual war.
As the Bible says, woe to those who call good evil and evil good.
Our politicians are on a mission to crash and burn what’s left of Western civilization. Will you let them offer up your child or grandchild to the globalist death cult? Let me know in the comments below.
If the Dems were smart, they would put HR2 up for a vote and steal Trump’s thunder on the issue. Unfortunately, Schumer is too stupid.
The border security in this bill is actually tightening it down to prevent those hopeless young Ukes about to be caught up in the mobilization meat grinder from fleeing the country.
So the National Security Bill does nothing for our national security.

Ocheretyne, Chasiv Yar, Krasnohorivka: the Russians are still advancing in eastern Ukraine
17APR2024
(translated from French)
The Russian army gained five kilometers in a few days, reaching the gates of the Ocheretyne logistics node west of Avdiivka. Elsewhere in Donbass, it also presses the fortresses of Krasnohorivka and Chasiv Yar.
The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, General Oleksandr Syrsky , recognized just a few days ago that the situation on the front had “considerably deteriorated” in the east of the country, citing “tactical successes” of the Russians who would seek to “create the conditions for a deeper advance” . The map of the conflict shows in recent hours a push by the occupier, particularly to the west of Avdiivka , this fortified town conquered on February 17. In a few days, the Russians managed to advance about 5 kilometers, approaching the town of Ocheretyne. Further north, same scenario to the west of the town of Bakhmout where the Russians entered the first dwellings of Chasiv Yar, one of the Ukrainian fortresses which protect the large cities of Donbass still controlled by Kiev. Same scenario again, this time further south, where the Russians have penetrated another Ukrainian fortress, Krasnohorivka.

So, you're pulling for Democrats and against Trump?
No surprise from a Zeeper. But, Never Trumpers should zotted out off Free Republic.
Probably half of that money will get kicked back to dark forces.
Waiting on my response from my representative after their “YES” vote. Probably going to need a barf bag....or two.
Followed by the need to reach into my wallet so they can pi$$ more of money away.
I’m past done in my concern about NATO, Ukraine and Russia. Damn Europeans need to start taking some accountability for themselves. Thomas Jefferson warned of it, and no one listened.
Why do you think every bill's title ends with ".. and other purposes" ?
And I'm guessing you haven't even read it.
We have to remember not to take it personal, it's only business, albeit Joe's business

Putting our money where their true loyalty is.
Got to send some billions to Ukraine so the Big Guy gets his 10%.
“National security“ - but of which nation?
Thanks for the reference.
“Vote Republican. Because they’re the lesser of two evils.” ~ Useful idiot
There is NO national interest in Ukraine.
Infusing Big Defense with cash and enriching our politicians and oligarch is the only reason we care about Ukraine or fomented a revolution there in the first place.
Ukraine has ZERO chance of getting any territory and can only lose more lives and more territory the longer the war goes on. Ukraine should hate us and the West more than Russia after this war ends.
