The House, in a decisive vote Thursday, passed the annual defense authorization bill, delivering a bipartisan rebuke to its most conservative members who had sought to infuse the legislation with a wishlist of provisions targeting Pentagon policies on abortion, diversity and LGBTQ+ rights.
The $886 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was approved by a vote of 310-118, having passed the Senate by an overwhelming margin Wednesday night. It proceeds next to the White House, where President Biden is expected to sign the legislation into law.

Yes, sorry. He is no longer in a strong position.
We are a minority - probably a permanent minority - since so many Conservatives support massive legal immigration, or are indifferent to massive legal immigration.
Immigrants vote 70%-75% Democrat, and their American born children vote 65%-70% Democrat.
The most successful immigrant group in the USA - Asian Indian Americans - votes 75%-80% Democrat!
Immigrant voter patterns have NOT changed in the last 40 years.
Politically, USA Conservatives have two options...
"Soft" Secession, which no one really knows how to do.
Or, make peace with the Republican Party, which is the only way to gain political majorities that can create limited real world change.
DJT will put Op Wetback to shame.
Worse IMO, renewal of warrantless surveillance on citizens.
Money laundering with the pretense of National Defense.
It’s a big party and the taxpayer isn’t invited
Is this a “news” article or is it an op-ed?

The political Left media has made them both the same thing for many a decade now.
Matt Gaetz is a bit like Donald Trump. He is already independently wealthy. So he’s not corrupted.
RINO’s and Dems
whats the difference?
I will vote for him in 2024.
Immigration?
Trump is better than Biden, but worse than Obama.
In Trump's first three years (before Covid) Trump naturalized more new citizens, Trump issued more Green Cards, and Trump issued more foreign work visas, than Obama did in Obama's last three years.
The Wall?
Zero progress after one year in office. A fraction of progress by the 2018 midterm.
Trump sent woke, career, Trump-hating, DHS lawyers to argue his case in Court.
For two years, every time someone asked about The Wall, Trump shrugged his shoulders and blamed the Courts.
Um, well there WAS constant lawfare and obstruction on a grand scale never before seen by “the resistance” aka Demonrats...
Why do they make them so long? Is that specifically to discourage people from reading these bills so other crap can be sneaked in? Absolutely this should be stopped, it’s criminal.
Like that evil effin pig Queen of demons Nancy Pelosi, “You have to pass the bill to see what’s in it” Right there she should have been indicted for fraud.
They indict Trump for merely questioning a POTUS election just like Democrats do EVERY ELECTION they lose, but Pelosi can scam congress? What the hell?
There has been relentless Hard Left lawfare since the 1960s.
There was NO one among Trump's 2016-2017 executive appointments who had any interest in building The Wall.
That tells you everything you need to know about Trump's sincerity.
If Conservatives like me had not started shouting about Trump's feckless immigration efforts, there would have been no progress at all in 2018.
agree to disagree. I’ve personally been the brunt of lawfare by a govt agency and it’s not easy.
Why does anyone have to be labeled “FAR RIGHT” if they strive for personal privacy and ceasing indiscriminate bulk collection and storage of everything everyone says, reads, thinks, or does? Has anyone challenged this crap in court? Griswald v Connecticut (use of contraceptives) and Roe v Wade (abortion) centered on the fundamental RIGHT TO PRIVACY. Now a “Patriot” Act sweeps it all away? Help!
Don’t forget a Christmas donation to Freeper. Help out to wrap this up, folks.
God Bless the Robinsons for this site.
Ridiculous statement.
god bless the patriot Matt Gaetz.
good riddance to RINO skank McCarthy and his ilk
