It’s quite an eye-opener. A vote was taken in the House on Thursday to sanction Hamas terrorists and their supporters. 45 Democrats said no to that resolution.

Name ’em and shame ’em. I call them the Hamas Caucus.

The 45 Democrats are:

Blumenauer (OR), Bowman (NY), Bush (MO), Cárdenas (CA), Carson (IN), Casar (TX), Castro (TX), Chu (CA), Clarke (NY), DeSaulnier (CA), Escobar (TX), Foushee (NC), Frost (FL), García (IL), Garcia (TX), Garcia, R.

The resolution is for new sanctions on Hamas’ international backers and a policy of opposing Iran’s nuclear program ‘by any means necessary.’ The Squad and its fellow travelers voted against that.

One Republican joined with Democrats to vote no.

The House of Representatives voted last night by wide bipartisan margins in favor of new sanctions on Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other Palestinian terrorist groups, and a nonbinding resolution opposing Iran’s nuclear program. But it defeated, in a bipartisan vote, an effort to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

The Hamas International Financing Prevention Act, the sanctions bill, passed the House by a 363-46 vote. Most of the 45 no votes came from progressive Democrats; Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the only Republican to vote no. The bill would place new sanctions on individuals, entities and foreign governments that provide support to Palestinian terror groups.

Massie often votes differently than the majority of Republicans, often when it comes to free speech issues. In this vote, he apparently considered it an affront to the First Amendment rights of anti-Israel protesters. Some critics were concerned about a provision in the bill that would require specific presidential waivers to allow humanitarian aid to move into Gaza and the West Bank. The original bill had a blanket sanctions exemption for humanitarian aid. It didn’t require individual waivers.

On the resolution on Iran’s nuclear program, it passed by a 354-53 vote. The 50 Democrats who voted against it were joined by three Republicans who voted no – Reps. Dan Bishop (R-NC), Warren Davidson (R-OH) and Massie.

That legislation declares that it is U.S. policy that a nuclear-armed Iran cannot be permitted “under any circumstances” and that the U.S. will “use all means necessary to prevent” that outcome. It also expresses American “support for the freedom of action of partners and allies, including Israel, to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

Opponents of the legislation have called its language overly broad, arguing that it could be read to endorse and support a ground invasion of Iran or a U.S. nuclear strike on the country. They have also said that unconditionally supporting partners’ actions could endanger U.S. forces.

There was a vote to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, with a resolution introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Tlaib has repeated the lie that an Israeli rocket was targeted to hit a hospital in Gaza, resulting in massive loss of life. It was quickly debunked but Tlaib continues to blame Israel to this day. She is an anti-Semitic liar. The vote was 222-186 to MTG’s censure. The censure was in response to Tlaib’s remarks at an anti-Israel protest at the Capitol last month. Twenty-three Republicans voted with all House Democrats to defeat the censure.

The resolution repeatedly described that protest, which was non-violent, as an “insurrection.” Democrats roundly rejected the resolution given Greene’s own history of antisemitic comments, and her efforts to defend and minimize the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Twenty-three Republicans, representing a broad cross-section of the party and including several of Tlaib’s Michigan colleagues, voted with all House Democrats to defeat the censure attempt. Most notably, Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), one of two Jewish Republicans who was a key figure in Republicans’ successful bid to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the Foreign Affairs Committee, voted against censuring Tlaib.

“If we want to call balls and strikes, members of both parties have said antisemitic remarks. They have,” Miller told CNN earlier in the day. “Marjorie Taylor Greene has said antisemitic remarks. Rashida Tlaib has said antisemitic remarks. I’m going to call it out on both sides of the aisle. I’m sick of it.”

There ya go. Why is it always Republicans who cave and vote with all the Democrats instead of demanding that Democrats go along with Republicans for a change? The compromising always goes one way.

Whether or not all in this actual group they are part of the termites eating the foundation of our Republic.

So 45 are “progressive” types. Sort of like the 1950s-1960s Dixiecrats who had to be kissed up to or the major Dem wings would not get anything passed.

[lightman]

Ping.

[Paladin2]

The 45 need to be sent to personally defend their tunnels.

[Paladin2]

Jeffries was not at the head of the parade?

[TigersEye]

Regardless of how many or how few DemonRats openly support Hamas the entire DemonRat Party are enemies of the United States.

Leftists are the greatest existential threat to the U.S. and all of civilization.

[Paladin2]

Send Massie to the Hamas HQ under the hospital.

[Olog-hai]

So “Garcia, R” (presuming Mike) is a Democrat?

[hardspunned]

Hopefully enough will join the revolt to deadlock funding this unfolding catastrophe. At the very least, use their support as a bargaining chip to negotiate with our new Commander in Chief, Netanyahu. More befuddled bungling by these DC idiots of both parties will soon do to Israel what they did to Ukraine. DC will promise Netanyahu the moon which will embolden him to act rashly and dangerously. Once DC realizes AGAIN that it’s overextended, Israel gets the Zelensky brush off. The Israelis have had several eyes for an eye already. Let the 65% of Israeli voters who did not support Netanyahu BEFORE his colossal failure in defending Israel have their wish. You know it, I know it, Netanyahu knows it, he’s toast as soon as a settlement is negotiated. This guy is running US foreign policy because no one in DC is at the helm.

It’s always nice to hear the Drama Queen perspective. /s

“That legislation declares that it is U.S. policy that a nuclear-armed Iran cannot be permitted “under any circumstances” and that the U.S. will “use all means necessary to prevent” that outcome. It also expresses American “support for the freedom of action of partners and allies, including Israel, to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.””

Did congress just authorize a war with Iran? This feels like the Gulf on Tonkin resolution (excepting of course that the facts supporting the GOT resolution were a deliberate lie by the US).

The Hamas Wing of the Democrat Party

a better term would be "the Democrat Party wing of Hamas"

[Paladin2]

The elimination of the non-Persian mullahs is a Bad Thing^TM ?

[lightman]

They have trouble booking flight....

....because they cannot find planes with two left wings.

[lightman]

The elimination of the non-Persian mullahs is a Bad ThingTM ?

And Persian Mullahs are a good thing?

Surely you jest.

[Paladin2]

Shirley?

You jest.

I’d guess that the Persian “mullahs” would be Zoroastrians.

[lightman]

I have interacted well with Zoroastrian Persians.

Not so with Mohammedans.

[Paladin2]

Islam is not compatible with a civil society.

Just sayin’.
