He Folds! In Major Reversal, Speaker Johnson to Introduce Bill to Send $17.6 Billion to Israel Amid Border Security Fight

House Speaker Mike Johnson will introduce a bill to send $17.6 billion to Israel in emergency aid without corresponding spending cuts amid a fight over border security.

The first standalone Israel aid package voted on included IRS cuts, which of course received heavy backlash by Democrats and was rejected by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

The new Israel funding bill will exclude the IRS cuts.

"While the Senate appears poised to finally release text of their supplemental package after months of behind closed doors negotiations, their leadership is aware that by failing to include the House in their negotiations, they have eliminated the ability for swift consideration of any legislation,” speaker Johnson wrote in a letter to colleagues.

"Given the Senate’s failure to move appropriate legislation in a timely fashion, and the perilous circumstances currently facing Israel, the House will continue to lead. Next week, we will take up and pass a clean, standalone Israel supplemental package.”

Your comprehension of math and statistics is terrible.
Ask Jim Robinson how many active members FR has.
Then, look up how many voters there are.

(Israel has uncovered two Hamas bank hoards full of money.)

Good! More reason they don’t need any money from the US.

Not just NYC. Two weeks ago I attended a presentation on Oct 7. The presenter a successful Jewish businessman had just returned from briefings in Israel.
My interest was whether or not the massacre might alter US Jewish voting patterns. There were about 20 members of his synagogue that attended. He stated that while he was a repub he foresaw no change in voting patterns-the social divide was just very great. No one in the audience responded either way.

For some reason and contrary to their history??! they seem to have faith in gobt—including local defense which performed so admirably on Oct 7.

Fluoridation of tap water is poison. You ever see a Communist drink tap water? They drink vodka. I only drink pure grain alcohol and rain water. I must protect my essence...

You will mock this, but your problem comes from a lack of a Biblical Worldview. Events can’t be understood without it.And most people l e here have that biblical Worldview. And America is built on that biblical worldview. THAT is the foundation for restoring America, not race.

Maybe it’s not a “fold”. He is separating the issues the Dems want conjoined. Biden requested emergency aid but he wants Ukraine in there too. Johnson is forcing Schumer and the senate and Biden to accept or reject one issue at a time. And this tactic divides the factions inside the Dem party either way. If they vote for it, the far left goes bezerk and if they reject it their base and donors lose faith.

White people are openly being discriminated against.

They're literally being jailed, beaten, and killed.
