Final Nail In America's Coffin? Ron Paul on yesterday's vote.

When future historians go searching for the final nail in the US coffin, they may well settle on the date April 20, 2024.
On that day Congress passed legislation to fund two and a half wars, hand what’s left of our privacy over to the CIA and NSA, and give the US president the power to shut down whatever part of the Internet he disagrees with.
The nearly $100 billion grossly misnamed “National Security Supplemental” guarantees that Ukrainians will continue to die in that country’s unwinnable war with Russia, that Palestinian civilians will continue to be slaughtered in Gaza with US weapons, and that the neocons will continue to push us toward a war with China.
It was a total victory for the war party.
The huge spending bill is all about politics for Biden, yet so many Republicans simply went along with it. The last thing the people running Biden’s White House want to see as a close election approaches are ads blaming Biden for “losing Ukraine.”
The US and its allies have already sent over $300 billion to Ukraine and the country is still losing its war with Russia. Nobody believes another $60 billion will pull a victory from the jaws of defeat. But this additional money is meant to keep up appearances until November at the expense of Americans who are forced to pay for it and Ukrainians who are forced to die for it.
Speaker Johnson could not have passed these monstrosities without the full support of House Democrats, as the majority of Republicans voted against more money for Ukraine. So in the worst example of “bipartisanship,” Johnson reached across the aisle, stiffed the Republican majority that elected him Speaker, and pushed through a massive gift to the warfare/(corporate) welfare state.
After the House voted to send another $60 billion to notoriously corrupt Ukraine, Members waved Ukrainian flags on the House Floor and chanted “Ukraine, Ukraine.” While I find it distasteful and disgusting, in some way it seemed fitting. After all, they may as well chant the name of a foreign country because they certainly don’t care about this country!
Along with sending $100 billion that we don’t have to fund more overseas war, Speaker Johnson threw in another version of the Tik Tok ban, which gives Joe Biden and future presidents the power to shut down websites at will by simply declaring them to be “foreign adversary controlled.”
Not to be outdone, the US Senate on that same day passed the extension of Section 702 of the FISA Act, which not only allowed the government to continue spying on us without a warrant, but also contained new language massively expanding how they can spy on us.
Many conservative voters are asking what the point of Republican control of the House is if the agenda is determined by Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is even reported to have bragged to his colleagues about how easily Speaker Johnson gave Democrats everything they wanted and asked for nothing in return.

I hope people will take this the right way, but it’s not just the US that’s done, but the world.
The time of the end is near and the globalists who will all give power to the antichrist are seizing the last bit of control they need to accomplish the task.
If you aren’t a child of God, pray that he would forgive you for your ignorance and for relying on the power of men to give us hope.
Repent and turn to our only hope, Jesus Christ, and prepare your hearts and minds for his imminent return.

This is the money quote.
A Republican SOTH should never give his party the middle finger and side with Democrats. Can you imagine Nancy ever doing that? Of course not.
I have zero doubt Johnson was threatened one way or another.

Republican leadership always does this because they know republican voters are a bunch of gullible dupes. Republicans need to own this and realize it is their fault for voting these tyrants in.

I read that in his voice.
He's right.
I am sorry for not listening to your dad, Rand.

If politicians followed what's in the bible, this country wouldn't be in the shape it's in.

Very unfortunate but fully expected at this point... We are no longer represented by those elected to represent us...

Johnson has done so much for the radical left in his short tenure that Nancy Pelosi is jealous.
Posted on 4/23/24 at 7:10 am to RiverCityTider
All of this happened because Mike Johnson is a coward.

Johnson has got to go.
Paul is right, as usual.

Taibbi is correct.
This absolute nightmare of a bill is the greatest expansion of power to the intel agencies and the executive branch since the Patriot Act was passed the month after 9/11 in 2001.
You cannot…I repeat…CANNOT be a conservative or a Constitutionalist or a libertarian and support, vote for, or be happy about that monster that Johnson ushered through the House.
