A year-end spending package meant to provide Americans with economic relief during the Chinese coronavirus crisis includes using United States taxpayer money to fund border security in foreign countries.

As part of the more than 5,590-page spending bill, the deal provides the country of Jordan with “up to $500,000,000” in taxpayer money “to provide assistance to the Government of Jordan to support the armed forces of Jordan and to enhance security along its borders.”

Likewise, the bill gives $250 million in taxpayer money to the countries of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman for “enhanced border security.” Specifically in Lebanon, the bill gives taxpayer money to “secure the borders” of Lebanon.

This is what happens when enemies of the USA take over our government. The question to ask now is how the hell do we get them out being that we no longer have fair elections?

Yep. This is approximately the same enemy of the US, Congress, that has been in power for the past 50 years.

The system has no way to get them out other than the vote, and that is rigged beyond repair so that only "accceptable to the globalists" control will ever exist in that institution.
