Who Votes for Omnibus

Original Article

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday joined 13 Republicans who vowed to tank any priorities of GOP senators who vote for the 4,155 page omnibus bill that was negotiated with Democrats before a new Republican majority could take control of the House. Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Scott Perry (R-PA), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ), along with nine other conservatives House members, signed a letter Tuesday promising to block any priorities of the Republican senators who rushed to support the omnibus deal with Democrats just days before Congress leaves town for Christmas.

McConnell has no serious opposition so he can take this one out of hide. McCarthy has to drum up support for himself. I'm pretty sure thats all this theater is all about. As soon as McCarthy is in he will change his tune. We are all being played, as always.

Well they better do more than threaten, they better follow thru and do it, because the "mitch" brigade is saddled up and ready to ride with the Dems and betray the voters again.

It's not just McConnell, that two faced, lying poltroon Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, now that his treasonous butt is safely re-elected for another six years has also voted to advance this surrender to the Communist Death Democrat Omnibus Bill. Another John McCain, Lindsey Graham who runs to the right during the election and then immediately sucks up to McConnell. Disgusting. Once again we the voters of Florida who elected little Marco are betrayed immediately after the election. Our vote counts for squat.

The GOP can say whatever they want, they can say they are trying, but its out of their hands. They Have No Power. The deep state controls it all and we've been lied to for decades.

Not that I trust one word from Kevin McCarthy, who is trying to promote himself as a tough conservative while trying to get elected as speaker.... But the republican senators, who betrayed their own party, that they are threatening to block are these: Blunt, Boozman, Capito, Collins, Cornyn, Cotton, Graham, Grassley, Hyde-Smith, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Portman, Romney, Rounds, Rubio, Shelby, Thune, Tuberville, Wicker and Young. This is the list of senators who answer to someone else besides their republican voters! If you voted for one of these, you played a part in the sale of the U.S. government.

The four-legged rhino (my second favorite animal next to the elephant) is known to be very nearsighted. The two-legged DC version is however, totally blind. Blind to the fact that they work for We the People and not themselves. The head blind RINO Addison McConnell aka Looney Tunes Cecil the Turtle aka Milquetoast "Mitch" epitomizes this. As does his little buddy in the House McCarthy. Sure, Sackless Kev is talking a good game now but like my Dad always told me talk is cheap. It's what you do that ultimately counts and Conservatives know that No Stones McCarthy can't be counted on.

This bill will only pump the inflation rate! For those wondering if inflation hurts --- just think of this: In 1971 I was making $1.65 an hour for a 40 hour work week. (I had a one room basement apartment in a privately owned home... toilet down the hall.) However, after about 25 hours of work (a little over 3 days) I could buy an ounce of gold for $41.60. (Assuming no taxes!) Imagine I put that ounce of gold in my basement. Today, I bring it up from down stairs and now I can sell it for about $1,850. Absolutely no value added. It's the same uninteresting lump of gold. In today's market I would have to make $74 an hour to buy another ounce of gold for only 25 hours of work. That's a salary of $2,960 a week or $153,920 a year. If I was still making $1.65 it would take me slightly over 1,120 hours of work --- or 28 weeks. Inflation will eat you alive.

President Joe Biden delivered a Christmas address on Thursday but did not speak the name of “Jesus” or “Christ.” “How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given,” Biden began, as he delivered his address to reporters at the White House. The president spoke about a “child” born on Christmas but did not speak the child’s name. “We look to the sky to a lone star, shining brighter than all the rest guiding us to the birth of a child, a child that Christians believe to be the Son of God,” he said. Biden also spoke several times about the “light” and “peace” at the heart of Christmas.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Thursday morning announced an agreement to advance the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill before Christmas weekend. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Democrats have been working to pass the omnibus bill before a self-imposed deadline of Thursday to avoid a shutdown at midnight on Friday. But negotiations become sticky after Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) Title 42 amendment threw a wrench in the Senate process. As a result, many critics of the deal were hopeful Congress would be forced to pass a short-term spending resolution (CR) to keep the government open, pending a continued standoff between Democrats on Lee’s amendment.

Add yet another government overreach to the “Things You Didn’t Think Could Happen in America” file: Democrats on the lame-duck House and Ways and Means Committee voted Tuesday to release six years of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns. Why? Because they um, uh—because they want to? But wait, you say to yourself, that’s not possible; your tax returns are private by federal law, and therefore protected from release. The Dems of course found a sleazy way around that. The tax code allows the committee to look at people’s tax returns to provide “oversight” of the Internal Revenue Service, and by writing an official report on their findings,

There has perhaps never been a dumber national obsession than the one that has existed over Donald Trump’s tax returns. Despite the IRS having had all of them over the decades, the press and its Democrat allies have long convinced themselves that Trump was illegally colluding with foreign nations and cheating on his taxes. They continued to hold that belief despite multiple audits of the former president over the years.
