AMERICA FIRST: Marjorie Taylor Greene Introduces Multiple Amendments to Speaker Johnson and Biden’s Ukraine Bill – Diverts Aid to Our Southern Border and 100% of Ukraine Funds to Support Americans Impacted by Disasters
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 18, 2024 | Jordan Conradson

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has introduced multiple amendments to Biden and Speaker Mike Johnson’s foreign aid package, which funds Ukraine, Israel, and Palestine as our US Southern Border remains wide open and Biden’s Border Bloodbath rages on.

The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, Palestine. “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in a statement urging Democrats in the House and the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass the un-American legislation.

Worse, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the package Johnson announced Wednesday includes terms that will allow the President to cancel 50% of Ukraine’s debt after November 15, 2024 and the remaining 50% after January 1, 2024. It’s no wonder why Joe Biden came out “strongly” in support of the package, urging the House and Senate to pass it.

.... Snip.....

One amendment proposed by Marjorie Taylor Greene to a funding bill that would provide $26.38 billion to Israel would divert some but not all funding toward the development of space laser technology to finally secure the US southern border.

The amendment reads, “By the funds made available by this Act, such sums as necessary shall be used for the development of space laser technology on the southwest border.”

“Israel has some of the best unmanned defense systems in the world. I’ve previously voted to fund space lasers for Israel’s defense. America needs to take our national security seriously and deserves the same type of defense for our border that Israel has and proudly uses,” said Greene

Greene is a bit rough around the edges. No matter. She’s correct, 100% correct.

The Deep State doesn’t like such people. I hope she can hold on to her seat in Congress.

This is all BS for show, none of them has the slightest chance of passing. Marjorie Taylor Greene is full of crap. If she was going to seriously do anything, anything at all, she would formally file to vacate the speaker. And where the hell is Trump? I’m done with the republican party, time for a new party. I will not vote for anyone that does not do everything in their power to stop johnson.

“JUST IN: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced MULTIPLE amendments to the Ukraine aid bill

Two of which divert 100% of the funds to support the victims of East Palestine, Ohio AND Maui, Hawaii.

Now THAT’S how you put AMERICA FIRST!”

Wouldn’t that be nice!

I wish she would notice the government caused natural catastrophe by breaching our hydroelectric dams in northern California.
I should have contacted her instead of my worthless Congress critter Cliff Bentz when the government demanded my natural catastrophe funds had to be paid back with interest!

Hooray for MTG and Thomas Massie the rest of them are on Probation and many will end up on my List not to give money to or support in November.

They vote for Biden’s agenda in Ukraine they are no better than the Democrats.

Not every Republican in Congress wants a secure border. Not every Republican in Congress opposes shoveling money to the Ukraine War. Johnson has to deal with that. By the end of this week Republicans will only have (I think) one more vote in the House than the Democrats do. Clearly, Johnson can only do so much.

True enough. But the Democrats can and do raise all sorts of hell when they have a slim majority. Republicans don’t have that same fighting mentality.

That’s the best I can say about the GOP these days. They play wiffle ball while the Democrats play hard ball.

I don’t know what the deal is about MTG and space lasers. You may recall a few years ago. she had said something in Congress about how ‘jewish space lasers’ caused wildfires in California. It seemed enough of a whackadoo comment that a company who supports leftist ideals made a little pin about the jewish space laser ground corps. It’s actually kind of cute, but all the funds raised from it go to leftist organizations and causes.

Yes, I am glad that MTG is at least trying to show the conservative side of things. I just Wish we had a man who would show some gravitas and could make a point that would bolster the conservative view.

But space lasers? Try again, hun.

Right, Mad Moscow Marge wants Israeli style missile defense on our border to stop the invasion, and her #1 amendment: “Members who vote for Ukraine aid must conscript in the Ukrainian Army”

MTG is a shill.

We need that NOW..
