Last appropriation is $250 million for Ukraine.
Yep, a quarter of a billion dollars that they snuck past and got to Ukraine. I figure that about 25% is being kicked back to the various senators and congressmen who are supporting (or need to be induced to support) further aid.
It’s pretty sad when your tax dollars are used to bribe your congrescritters for more tax dollars, innit? (at least that is what it appears to be, I could be wrong….feel free to correct me in comments)
I’m sure that, if asked, the states would provide some folks from their National Guard to help stem the border invasion
And, it is said that there are over 15000 in a “caravan” en-route through Mexico right now. (ETA: One would ask how, if Mexico isn’t complicit in this invasion, are these people being fed,…how are their sanitation needs being met, places to sleep, etc…and did you notice they all have working cell phones?)
For that matter, if they asked, I have no doubt that the Federal Government could get thousands of Patriotic Americans willing to volunteer to help hold the border against this invasion….if they’d ask for volunteers….which they won’t.
Of course that would have to mean that the Biden Administration wanted to stop the invasion and actually cared about border integrity….and was not complicit in inviting these people to invade our country.
Oh, well, we can just keep shipping them to Blue Sanctuary Cities until THEY demand that Biden close the border…..
The Dems fail to realize, however, that the Border is gonna be the thing that breaks their constituency and makes them lose the election.
The Left has stated that it was the real reason….so it MUST be true.
Nikki Haley got castigated for failing to mention slavery as reason for Civil war
Not economics,
Not freedom of choice of government.
Not freedom of choice of how they lived their lives.
While slavery may have been “a” reason, it wasn’t the PRIMARY reason. But the Left (again) wants to rewrite history their way.
They made sure to set this up to get the answer into the media so they could talk about it on the news. Gotta keep the shit stirred up, right?
Who lets a 6 year old travel alone, for any reason?
Before 9-11, perhaps, when a parent could take the kid to the gate and watch them get on the airplane and another person could be at the gate to meet him/her when the plane landed…not so much today.
Leaving the welfare of a 6 year old to some airline is bad enough….
But SPIRIT airlines? That is negligent negligence.
Seen on TV…and not late night TV either. Prime Time.
I figure fully 2/3 of the folks I hung around with 40+ years ago will end up calling them
Is WHY Were The Documents Sealed in the First Place?
That at the Egypt/Gaza border there are as many people trying to get from Gaza to Egypt as there are illegal invaders trying to get from Mexico to the US….and in a much smaller area. They could cross into Egypt anytime they wished, except for a flimsy gate preventing them from crossing.
Of course, that gate/border wall is backed by men with guns and the threat that they will use them (likely not a threat, but a promise).
Unlike our border, which has no real meaning because no one will stop the crossers with violence if they decide to cross, the Egyptian border is secure. ours, is a paper barrier. Anyone who shot a border crosser would be prosecuted for Murder.
Sadly, it will take violence to actually stop these people from invading our country. Someone will have to be shot and/or killed to make our border secure again. Maybe more than one.
have knowledge of a single person who, at this stage, regrets having NOT gotten the Covid Jab?
Is there a single person who wishes, at this stage, that they had gotten the Vax?
Anyone? Bueller?
Harder to do with this one though.
But I wish I could afford one for myself for Christmas!
