Business as usual in Washington…
The good news: Republican are not going to be ‘tarred and feathered’ for shutting down the government as the campaign season heats up.
The bad news: 1) Deficit spending – unchecked; 2) Border security – weak; 3) Bewildering ‘pork’ funding measures – inserted, and worst of all; 4) Washington Republicans have no alternative master plan to re-instill spending discipline and reduce/eliminate federal budget deficits, restore financial security for millions of American families, and win over the hearts (and votes) of millions of hard-working, tax-paying U.S. citizens – to get America back on track.

Bewildering ‘Pork’ insertions:
– $850k for a gay senior home
– $15 million to pay for Egyptian’s college tuitions
– $400k for a gay activist group to teach elementary kids about being trans
– $500k for a DEI zoo
– $400k for a group to gives clothes to teens to help them hide their gender [that includes giving 13-year-old children chest binders, tuck equipment, and “counseling” without parental consent].
Additionally, it would fund facilities providing routine abortion services, including late-term abortions.

House Passes Pork-Filled Bill To Fully Fund Government
ZeroHedge, Friday, Mar 22, 2024 – Excerpts:
Update (1150ET): With just hours to go before a shutdown, the House has passed the $1.2 trillion minibus bill, which will now head to the Senate.
The vote was 286-134, with 112 Republicans and 22 Dems against.
All 100 Senators will need to agree to a vote to pass the bill before midnight. If this fails to happen, the government would be forced into a partial shutdown on Saturday morning.
President Biden has urged Congress to pass it quickly so he can sign…
The bill funds the departments of Homeland Security, State, Labor, Defense, Health and Human Services, among other things. Combined with the $459 billion bill passed earlier this month, the latest funding packages fully fund the federal government to the tune of $1.659 trillion through September, NBC reports.
House Freedom Caucus member Chip Roy (R-TX) railed against the fact that members only had around 24 hours to review the bill – and attacked his fellow Republicans for failing to secure immigration wins.
Rep. Chip Roy: “All you social conservative groups, where the hell are you? Crickets. Silence. Because you care about political power more than the very thing you say you’re for. You know who you are. Where are the social conservative groups? Cowering in the corner.”…
In short, Democrats bailed out Johnson once again – the same move which resulted in the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
There are numerous House Republicans concerned with the package’s lack of strict border security provisions, the huge price tag, the secretive negotiating process and even the lack of a pay hike for members of Congress. The unrest is especially acute among conservatives…
The package accounts for approximately 70% of discretionary government spending – and consists of six out of twelve total bills that Congress must pass each fiscal year to fund the government. The six others, around $460 billion in spending, were passed earlier this month…
“This is not the bill that my subcommittee produced and supported. The Senate has taken liberties with their Congressionally Directed Spending requests that would never stand in the House,” said Rep. Robert Aderholt, (R-AL), chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on Labor and Health & Human Services (HHS).
“The House did not include these partisan funding projects in its Labor-HHS legislation. Based on these principles, the Senate shouldn’t either,” Aderholt continued. “I have multiple concerns, among them are the many new social services that this bill would create for the millions of illegal immigrants streaming across our border. Additionally, it would fund facilities providing routine abortion services, including late-term abortions. The Senate must respect the work of the House. In good conscience, I cannot and will not vote for these projects or this bill.”
Pork City – As usual, Democrats slipped in as much pork as possible, including:
– $850k for a gay senior home
– $15 million to pay for Egyptian’s college tuitions
– $400k for a gay activist group to teach elementary kids about being trans
– $500k for a DEI zoo
– $400k for a group [Briarpatch YS] to gives clothes to teens to help them hide their gender
… About that $400k for clothes – that includes giving 13-year-old children chest binders, tuck equipment, and “counseling” without parental consent.
