Keep your eye on this. What Speaker Johnson should do is hold the line on spending levels for January 2025 and do it ASAP where lots of programs get very deep cuts of 25% as a present to the taxpayers of 25 in year 25. If Biden/Schumer don't sign off then let's have a shutdown for 20 days of all non-essential stuff in the federal government & if they want any of it turned back on then they have to get new legislation passed.

I'm in 100% agreement with you unless it interferes with building the wall and doing deportations. Yes, those will save us money in the long run. But I can see the open borders crowd using a spending limitation as legal-eeze to try to stop border enforcement.

Yes. That is what needs to be done. The journey begins with the first steps.

To: Tell It Right

We haven’t seen any whining by the Lefties that even compares to the whining we’ll see if Trump gets on the modern media in the Oval Office and reminds everyone of whose fault it is that the government shutdown is happening and that it’s time to Drain the Swamp and stop fighting the results of the Election. Trump is not a spineless wuss after Judge Juan M. Merchan had the Jury Verdict read to him in New York and Thomas Crooks almost assassinated him in Butler, PA. There are essential federal government agencies like military that’ll still be available to assist state/local authorities if things get problematic.

P.S. By modern media I do not mean those legacy media outlets whose ratings have plummeted & they have a long history of propaganda, dishonesty, anti-Constitutionalism, and corruption. I’m talking about honest media outlets.
