From the article: "The passing of the bill saw 48 Democrats joined by 31 Republicans in favor, with the majority of the RINOs supporting the foreign aid efforts. However, 15 Republicans broke ranks to vote against the package, joining three Democrats in opposition."

The UniParty prevails once more.

Wise Americans pass legislation investing in the future of Israel and Ukraine

What is the value for our people from creating military dependencies in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan?

Three foreign countries engaged in disputes with more powerful or more populous neighbors, which our national government has no ability to resolve.

Three foreign countries who contribute nothing of value to our nation that we cannot produce or provide on our own.

Three foreign countries that we have (apparently) commitments to protect without Senate-ratified treaties.

The finalized bill encompasses extensive provisions:

$47.7 billion through the Defense Department to support Ukraine’s military with training, equipment, weapons, and logistical aid. $13.4 billion to restock U.S. military equipment sent to Ukraine. $20.5 billion for U.S. Armed Forces support in Europe. $9.5 billion in economic aid to Ukraine as a forgivable loan. Added to this is 15 billion** in military aid designated for Israel and **9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza and other conflict zones, a point of contention for conservative Republicans concerned about the funds being intercepted by Hamas. The bill also allots $8 billion to counter Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific and introduces legislation that could lead to a forced divestment or potential ban of TikTok in the United States. Senate easily passes aid bill for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. The bill now goes to the President for his signature. pic.twitter.com/ccWPx4wahR

But what will it actually be spent on?

[Sirius Lee]

8 billion for Taiwan. They still haven't received the 19.2 billion in weapons that Taiwan ordered, but is still on back order. We have been reduced to betting South Korea for half a million 155mm artillery shells, and now are begging Japan to give us Patriot missiles because we are running out.

Sending Zel the Clown money isn't going to make weaponry magically available. But it will ensure nice kickbacks to D.C. politicians and K Street lobbyists.

$9 billion given to Hamas. To be funded by our grandchildren’s taxes. Nice.

[Erik Latranyi]

Included in the bill was roughly $4 billion for “migration and refugee assistance,” which is doled out to NGOs operating along the border and tasked with giving funds and travel assistance to illegal immigrants who have been released from federal custody. In other words, Johnson isn’t just neglecting the border crisis, he’s actively funding it.

who were the 15 R’s who voted against this crap?
perhaps we could get lucky if ukranian shipments just sink into the sea..

I tripped over a billion on the street the other day and thought my lucky day I’m going to buy an ice cream with it.

We should be proud of our nation...

Those pikers in Germany couldn’t handle a World War on two fronts, even with practice and here we are planing for one with 3 fronts since we did so good with a 2 front war the last time the whole world got it on...

And we’re gonna win it too, by jingo!

(I sure as hell hope that a sarcasm tag wasn’t needed for some of ya...)

Cha ching. More snorting money for Hunter Biden.
