I’ve got some other stuff to post in the pipeline, I’ll see how much I can do. Here’s one. I hope the Freedom Caucus kick him out.
Johnson’s temporary spending bill passes with more Democrat than GOP votes, signaling future strife
“I’m done with short term CRs,” Johnson said in November 2023 after Congress passed a two-step CR with Jan. 19 and Feb. 2 appropriations deadlines.
he GOP-led House passed a continuing resolution (CR) on Thursday to extend current federal funding levels to avoid a government shutdown, despite House Speaker Johnson having previously vowed not to pursue any more temporary spending bills.
“I’m done with short term CRs,” Johnson said in November 2023 after Congress passed a two-step CR with Jan. 19 and Feb. 2 appropriations deadlines.
Johnson decided to put the Democratic Senate’s short-term continuing resolution on the House floor for a vote on Thursday, despite harsh criticism from House Republicans about his strategy, and it passed with more votes from Democrats than Republicans.
A group of 8 conservatives, along with all House Democrats, supported the ousting of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy after he put a 45-day CR on the House floor to avoid a government shutdown. At the time, those conservatives wanted to see 12 single-subject appropriations bills passed as a way to curb government spending, instead of short-term bills that simply continue current funding levels.
In late November of last year, Johnson met with Senate Republicans and reportedly said he wouldn’t be able to move forward on another CR.
“He said he doesn’t have any chance of passing another short-term CR, he was clear about that,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D. “And that if all else fails, most likely we get a year-long [extension].”
This month, Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Schumer had agreed to a $1.59 trillion top line spending deal for the rest of fiscal year 2024 but it faced immediate opposition from hard-line conservatives in the House GOP conference. The short-term CR that passed on Thursday includes new funding deadlines of March 1 and March 8, setting the stage for another shutdown showdown.
“I have a job to do,” Johnson said Wednesday night on CNN when asked if he was concerned about being ousted over passing a CR with Democrat and Republican votes.
“I’m not worried about that. I’ve got a job to do here, and we have to make sure that we get the answers that we’ve demanded,” he added.
On Thursday afternoon, there was talk of adding border security language into the CR in the House after House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good, R-Va., said the speaker was considering the move. The speaker’s office said he would not pursue that path.
“The plan has not changed. The House is voting on the stop gap measure tonight to keep the government open,” said the speaker’s spokesperson Raj Shah on X.

Q for Dummies - Chapter 4 Drops #23-30
PAUL FLEURET JAN 19, 2024
The Badlands ‘Q for Dummies’ series attempts to ‘dumb down’ one of the most significant open-source intelligence drops of all time, which is partly responsible for triggering the period many refer to as ‘The Great Awakening.’ The series is intended for both newcomers and those looking for a fun review. Start with Chapter 1.
Hello and welcome, frens!
Allow me also to wish each of you a very happy and blessed New Year, seeing as how this is the first Q For Dummies being released in 2024!
Speaking of 2024—my my, things have gotten off to quite a hectic start, no?
I find it funny that people constantly opine about how doomed we are, yet everywhere you look, there are wins to be had, from Trump winning the Iowa Caucus, to Federal Judges ruling that he must be allowed on ballots, to Federal Judges beating down every bit of overreaching gun legislation that is brought before them. It truly is a historic time to be alive, and I hope that, as you dive deeper into the Q Operation, you can realize exactly how much it continues to tie into current events that we see transpiring before our very eyes day after day.
Remember to keep your head on a swivel, and utilize your discernment.
Dig, find information. Find the truth, and above all else believe nothing anyone tells you to believe. Believe what YOU want to believe, even in … especially in .. this series. I want you folks to dig for yourselves and unturn leaves I purposely miss or do not touch upon. After all, the whole point of the Q Operation was to train people how to utilize open-source information and the internet to discover many truths that are hidden from them.
Today, we will be taking a look at Q Drops #23-30.
These drops focus a good bit on the intel side of things, as well as an overview of exactly how big this operation is, and who is in control.
So, without further adieu, let’s go ahead and get to it!
Drop #23 - November 1, 2017:
Along with what I mentioned in the graphic above, it is also important to note that nearly every single SAP was changed or altered after 9/11. More and more intel became compartmentalized, and the ability for these agencies to work together expanded.
This, of course, when done benevolently creates a very powerful tool that can protect America. The problem is that, to date, no President until Trump used this power for benevolent ends.
In the end, the Constitution guarantees the President complete and total control and clearance into any and all intel operations being carried out under his watch. The military, now possessing the same SAP’s as the alphabet agencies ensured that President Trump was able to use his power as Commander In Chief to see any and all information he so desired.
Remember this?

President Donald Trump Speaks At The C.I.A.
Trump began draining the swamp from day one, and it started with the CIA, the same exact agency JFK targeted so many years ago.
Seriously, you owe it to yourself to watch that entire speech. In it, he directly takes aim at the CIA, and the infiltrators within it.
I cannot possibly overstate the balls it took to give this kind of speech at the CIA Headquarters only one day after his inauguration. It set the tone for who the enemy was, and also showed that he was not afraid of them.
Adding on, we all remember what happened to JFK when he went up against the CIA. Yet, Trump is still standing to this day. This tells you all you need to know about the protection President Trump possesses.
I guess it isn’t terribly shocking to see Trump make this speech at the CIA a mere 6 weeks after he gave this speech at the Al Smith Dinner:
