Badlands News Brief
Israel’s Package, Biden’s Border and Putin’s Nukes
BURNING BRIGHT
NOV 3, 2023
House approves GOP’s $14.3 billion Israel aid package
House Republicans on Thursday approved a $14.3 billion aid package for Israel, setting the stage for a fierce showdown with Democrats in the Senate and White House who have savaged the GOP bill for excluding Ukraine funds and cutting IRS coffers.
The 226-196 vote fell almost entirely along party lines, with 12 Democrats joining all but two Republicans to move the bill through the lower chamber.
The Democratic opposition extends to the Senate, where Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced earlier Thursday that his chamber would not take up the “deeply flawed proposal.” Instead, he’s vowing to work with senators in both parties on a package that includes funding for Israel, Ukraine, competition with the Chinese government and humanitarian aid for Gaza.
The Biden administration has threatened to veto the House’s legislation, arguing in a statement that it is “bad for Israel, for the Middle East region, and for our own national security.”
The vote, nonetheless, marks an early victory for newly installed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who is seeking to unify a warring GOP conference in the wake of last month’s bitter vote to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the three-week battle to replace him. — The Hill
Our Take: “With news that the House has “passed” a $14.3 Billion Aid Package for Israel, many in the America First base are pretty pissed off, and rightly so, as we’re not interested in even financial involvement in any new Forever Wars.
BUT ... as I speculated a few days ago, if Mike Johnson really is a MAGA-endorsed Speaker, at least for the time being, it’s likely that he’s taking a page out of Matt Gaetz’ playbook and adding poison pills to any new Congressional spending packages that also serve a dual purpose as massive redpills.
First, Johnson maintained a firm stance on bifurcating aid to Israel and Ukraine, which the Uniparty responded to in typical reptilian fashion.
And today, he follows it up by taking a Narrative hammer to the IRS, pushing back on one of the most controversial domestic financial deployments of the Biden Admin.
Of course, this bill has no chance of passing the Senate, meaning:
Uniparty takes the blame from the public, making them ... antisemitic IRS apologists?”
