The Senate has approved a massive $95 billion emergency foreign aid package with no U.S. border security.
A group of RINOs joined Democrats to support the bill. The measure passed by a vote of 79 to 18.
The passing of the bill saw 48 Democrats joined by 31 Republicans in favor, with the majority of the RINOs supporting the foreign aid efforts. However, 15 Republicans broke ranks to vote against the package, joining three Democrats in opposition.
The finalized bill encompasses extensive provisions:
$47.7 billion through the Defense Department to support Ukraine’s military with training, equipment, weapons, and logistical aid. $13.4 billion to restock U.S. military equipment sent to Ukraine. $20.5 billion for U.S. Armed Forces support in Europe. $9.5 billion in economic aid to Ukraine as a forgivable loan. Added to this is 15 billion** in military aid designated for Israel and **9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza and other conflict zones, a point of contention for conservative Republicans concerned about the funds being intercepted by Hamas. The bill also allots $8 billion to counter Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific and introduces legislation that could lead to a forced divestment or potential ban of TikTok in the United States.

“Today the Senate sends a unified message to the entire world. America will always defend democracy in its hour of need. We tell our allies we will stand with you. We tell our adversaries don’t mess with us,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declared on the Senate floor per NBC.
“If we want the world to remain a safe place for freedom, for democratic principles, and for our future prosperity, then America must lead the way. And with this bill, the Senate declares that American leadership will not waver, not falter, not fail.”
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said U.S. “adversaries want America to decide that reinforcing allies and partners is not in our interest and that investing in strategic competition is not worth it. They want us to take hard-earned credibility and light it on fire.”
“But today, the Senate responded by reaffirming a commitment to rebuild and modernize our military, restore our credibility, and give the current commander in chief, as well as the next, more tools to secure our interests,” he continued.
This vote comes after the globalist sycophants, led by 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 Joe Biden, where it will be rubber-stamped and signed.
“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.
Earlier, 29 Senate Republicans voted to advance the $95 Billion Foreign aid bill:
Senator Boozman (AR) Senator Britt (AL) Senator Capito (WV) Senator Cassidy (LA) Senator Collins (ME) Senator Cornyn (TX) Senator Cotton (AR) Senator Cramer (ND) Senator Crapo (ID) Senator Ernst (IA) Senator Fischer (NE) Senator Graham (SC) Senator Grassley (IA) Senator Hoeven (ND) Senator Hyde-Smith (MS) Senator Kennedy (LA) Senator Lankford (OK) Senator McConnell (KY) Senator Moran (KS) Senator Mullin (OK) Senator Murkowksi (AK) Senator Ricketts (NE) Senator Risch (ID) Senator Romney (UT) Senator Rounds (SD) Senator Sullivan (AK) Senator Thune (SD) Senator Tillis (NC)

Yes, Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Grumman-Northrup to name a few.
Did the allocation for the sale of 50 F-15’s to Israel get to be part of this package?
There. I fixed it.
I tripped over a billion on the street the other day and thought my lucky day I’m going to buy an ice cream with it.
We should be proud of our nation...
Those pikers in Germany couldn’t handle a World War on two fronts, even with practice and here we are planing for one with 3 fronts since we did so good with a 2 front war the last time the whole world got it on...
And we’re gonna win it too, by jingo!
(I sure as hell hope that a sarcasm tag wasn’t needed for some of ya...)
And foreign kibbitzers telling us that the national consensus to screw over the people born here was a good thing isn’t helping.
Tell ya what, chief. We’ll adopt the immigration and asylum controls that EVERY OTHER nation on the planet has (Australia’s is REALLY GOOD) and actually enforces... The rest of the world is MOSTLY s-—t and a lot of us here would like to keep the s—t over there and not here.
Globalism is useful, up to a point. When the culture you were born into is getting subsumed into neo-feudalism, yeah — the guns will come out at some point and your Rwanda happens. BTW — same root causes — people like to have meaningful input into who it is that shares their country with them.
You can have some tapas and learn how worship Allah — you’re offspring will need to know that. Demographics is destiny, sir. And while you want to make certain you and your cosmopolitan elite buddies can come and go as you please, your citizen of the world culture isn’t mine and the people you force me to deal with aren’t the educated elites you converse with. Your open borders means we have sewage flowing into our nation and no one doing a dammed thing to stop it or reverse it.
Yet.
I think you have given in to hysterics, sadly.
We have a few minor differences and here we go, rants over imagined slights. That chip on your shoulder is the size of a redwood, and I know redwoods, my late mother in law was from those parts.
Go have a lie-down.
Cha ching. More snorting money for Hunter Biden.
We’ve been laying down long enough, you arrogant foreign, asshole.
Tell me to calm down again while I make certain my AR is sighted in at 100.
And continue minimizing my culture getting eroded, one cheap laborer at a time.
