Andy Biggs was on with Judge Napolitano yesterday and said that once Johnson became Speaker, he got "nervous" and a bit timid and says he's afraid to lose - to which Biggs told him that he had to fight.

Hopefully Johnson digs in.

The Senate has overtly betrayed the nation with this bill. Let's see what the House does.

No aid to foreign nations until the border is sealed . No aid to foreign nations that cannot be paid back to the country .

Why do we need a new border bill when we won't enforce the current law?

We don’t need a border bill. You are correct. We also don’t need to send $100 billion Ukraine and Israel. Tired of my tax money going overseas and not fixing what is becoming a shithole country (ie. roads, bridges, etc)

Sounds good in principle but we should resign ourselves to the fact that money is never going to be paid back, once we send it out. Just not a realistic expectation.

America first should in no way be controversial.

Even if you believe in giving foreign aid, you have to understand that if America collapses that there will be none.

How about no aid to foreign countries until our national debt is a LOT below 1 freaking Trillion Dollars?

It's not just the aid bullshite, but the sneaked in language that if Trump becomes president and attempts to settle Ukraine conflict and stops the funding, he is is immediately impeached.

Here is the article link

Republicans in Washington have too many liars and lawyers in their ears telling them that people want them to keep printing money and sending it to other countries.

If they actually grow a spine for once they will be pleasantly surprised to discover that is not the case.

Mike Johnson is my new hero. John Kennedy is my new anti-hero.

Sounds great. Let's see how it unfolds.
The best solution is to send zero tax dollars anywhere until our national debt is reduced by half.
Close down overseas military operations and spend that money on the military here, at home..... starting with the borders.

The Transnational Progressive Dems are intent on one thing, and it is not the Border, or Ukraine or Israel. It is to CONTINUE SPENDING until the USD collapses and their Globalist 'Great Reset' strategy is implemented. As a side point they use the hidden money to subsidize illegals and support anti-Constitution political strategies against MAGA.

The Deficit Budget liabilities are now intertwined with long-standing and legit Programs/Government Contracts like Social Security and Medicare and Private Investment Instruments (Stocks, Bonds, Property, Tangibles, etc.), and are extended to the massive subsidization (Socialism) of tens of millions of new 'citizens'. Cut these people off and it's war in the streets. Dems know this, Speaker Johnson does as well. Both know that it's a choice between spend and move closer to the 'Great Reset' or shut it down and own the war in the streets.

Given the MSM pressure on the 'Christian' Johnson, which will he choose? My guess...he won't be able to withstand the moral pressure and will fold in some way, shape or form.

Given the massive immigration, there is no fix or solution for the current socio-political, societal dynamic that will allow 'Private' Institutions (monetary and goods/services) to remain viable. Only inevitable consequences. Trump was wrong saying that "America will never be a Socialist Nation".

Urkaine hasn't collapsed yet... Not sure it will and not sure it would matter one bit to the US if it did... I say hold off on anymore funding until every single dollar sent there is accounted for...

Israel does not need our money or help...

Taiwan - eh, I can see this one a little...

We don't need more border laws, we need what is on the books enforced... Another law is not going to make them enforce the border...

The House should defund all programs utilized to support illegal immigration... cut the free shite off and they will stop coming...

No, this is business as usual. These aren't US representation in the Senate. They haven't represented the states since they changed the constitution and the 17th amendment. I'm not sure who they are beholden to anymore.
