‘Doom Loop’: Senate Calls off Foreign Aid Vote as Schumer’s Chamber Devolves into Chaos

Breitbart ^ | 02/07/2024 | Sean Moran

Good.

[wildcard_redneck]

I think we may be losing Breitbart to the leftist hive-mind virus. What in the hell is a reporter from Breitbart write the following “and attempts to increase border security” about that monstrous bill?

[bimboeruption]

Satan is the author of lies and confusion.

I’ll bet the majority of funds for “refugees” and “natural disasters” is going to Soros NGOs and Crime Family Foundations (remember what a superb job the Clintoons did in Haiti?)

P. S. The politically correct Autocorrect tried to censor the word “Haiti”. They know too.

[rfp1234]

Doom Loop? In Schumer’s honor it should read Dumb Putz.

Oh yeah-—there’s bigtime money laundering going on........why else would Biden keep at it?

He cant do a Super Bowl sitdown b/c the old dimwit cant handle it.

But he’s on TV every five minutes stumping for the $115 billion border bill.

Big money is at stake and Jill and the Biden Crime Family are on his back to make it happen.

There is one additional very important thing this country must do-we must get back to real legislation and real budgets.

I know why they take all of these things and lump them together into gigantic omnibus bills where a good thing can’t be passed without passing something evil...they want to make it impossible to debate on any single issue without obfuscating all discussion, and making it even harder to make judgements on the value of a given endeavor.

If they put up a bill that dealt directly with a single subject such as...say...electronic currency, most everyday people could understand and follow the debate and make decisions about what they feel is right, and make their wishes known.

But they don’t want that.

They want to get people into a “risk-vs-benefit” analysis, and even intelligent people can bog down in that process of weighing multiple disparate issues in a massive, multi-faceted bill, where things can’t be evaluated on their own merit, so they might bundle school choice legislation into a bill with infrastructure elements, health care aspects, military expenditures, and so on.

They WANT people to get lost in that dog’s breakfast of money allocations, and make it so confusing that people HAVE to think about approving evil legislation in order to get NECESSARY legislation.

And they want it that way. That is exactly what this bill is.

[rlmorel]

Yes. Absolutely. See my post above (I hadn’t read your post before I wrote it)

[ronnie raygun]

Amazing they are all saying including diaper boy that trump is in the way of a safe and secure border

Besides weaponry, Israel also receives economic and humanitarian foreign aid, which supports broad economic development and sociopolitical stability and can include non-military support related to the country’s pressing security needs.

Israeili citizens enjoy free healthcare, free prescription drugs, and free college educations, among many other perks. How much of this is subsidized by the U.S. taxpayer who enjoy none of these benefits here at home?

We can't do it anymore. Maybe we could at one point but not today. Not when the average American can barely afford rent and groceries, to say nothing about prescription drugs or a college education.

Besides US tax dollas for weaponry, Israel also receives US tax dollars for economic and humanitarian aid, which supports broad economic development and sociopolitical stability and can include non-military support related to the country’s pressing security needs.

==================================================

It's amazing how beautiful Tel Aviv is.

Tel Aviv, is the most populous city in the metropolitan area of Israel. Located on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline and with a population of 467,875, it is the economic and technological center of the country. Tel Aviv is home to most of Israel’s foreign embassies.[b] It is a beta+ world city and is ranked 57th in the 2022 Global Financial Centres Index. Tel Aviv has the third- or fourth-largest economy and the largest economy per capita in the Middle East.

The city currently has the highest cost of living in the world. Tel Aviv receives over 2.5 million international visitors annually.

Tel Aviv is a “party capital” in the Middle East, it has a lively nightlife and 24-hour culture. The city is gay-friendly, with a large LGBTQ+ community.

The tiny state of Israel’s per capita GDP is on par with most Western European nations at $54,660, while in Palestinian territories the per capita GDP is $3789.00.

Jerusalem is nearing twice the population of Tel Aviv.

How can you devolve into chaos, when your activities for the last five years have been total chaos?

My guess would be, that is a rhetorical question :)

J Street, is an American Jewish lobby organization aimed at Washington leaders and policymakers, near K Street in downtown Washington on which many influential lobbying firms are located.

George Soros had been a donor to J Street since 2008. The approximately $750,000 from Soros and his family, together with donations from Hong Kong-based businesswoman Ms. Consolacion Esdicul, amounted to about 15% of J Street’s funding in its early years.

Political vision
J Street’s stated aim is to provide a political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans who believe that a “two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is essential to Israel’s survival as the national home of the Jewish people and as a vibrant democracy”. J Street has a two-fold mission: first, to advocate for urgent American diplomatic leadership to achieve a two-state solution and a broader regional, comprehensive peace and, second, to ensure a broad debate on Israel and the Middle East in national politics and the American Jewish community. In 2011, J Street opposed recognizing Palestine as an independent state at the United Nations.

J Street “recognizes and supports Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people”[14] and Israel’s “desire for security as the Jewish homeland, as well as the right of the Palestinians to a sovereign state of their own”.[7]

According to its executive director, Jeremy Ben-Ami, J Street is neither pro- nor anti- any individual organization or other pro-Israel umbrella groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). He says J Street is proud of AIPAC’s many accomplishments and clarified that the two groups have different priorities rather than different views.

---

J Street started because there has not been sufficient vocal and political advocacy on behalf of the view that Israel’s interests will be best served when the United States makes it a major foreign policy priority to help Israel achieve a real and lasting peace not only with the Palestinians but with all its neighbors.”

Structure
J Street and J Street PAC, founded in April 2008, exist as separate legal entities with different political functions. The J Street Education Fund joined the J Street family of organizations in 2009:

J Street – a nonprofit advocacy group registered as a 501(c)(4) social welfare group. J Street aims to encourage and “support strong American leadership to end the Arab-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli conflicts peacefully and diplomatically”.

The J Street PAC – a political action committee capable of making direct political campaign donations. Thus, the J Street PAC will provide political and financial support to candidates who are seeking election or reelection and agree with J Street’s goals.

The J Street Education Fund, Inc. – a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It aims to educate targeted communities about the need for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, raise the visibility of a mainstream pro-Israel, pro-peace presence within the American Jewish community, and promote open, dynamic and spirited conversation about how to best advance the interests and future of a democratic, Jewish Israel.

Advisory council
J Street’s advisory council consists of former public officials, policy experts, community leaders and academics, including Daniel Levy, a former high-ranking Israeli official who was the lead drafter of the groundbreaking Geneva Initiative, Franklin Fisher and Debra DeLee of Americans for Peace Now, Marcia Freedman of Brit Tzedek v’Shalom, Democratic Middle East foreign policy expert Robert Malley, former Israeli foreign minister Shlomo Ben-Ami, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Samuel W. Lewis, former Rhode Island Governor and Republican U.S. Senator Lincoln Chafee. Hannah Rosenthal, former head of the Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism.

Lobbying
J Street lobbies for and against Israel-related bills and legislation.

J Street’s first-year budget for fiscal 2009 was $1.5 million. Gary Kamiya writes that J Street hopes to raise significant money online, following the blueprint of MoveOn and the Barack Obama presidential campaign.

---

Confidential IRS documents obtained by The Washington Times in 2010 showed that George Soros had been a donor to J Street since 2008. The approximately $750,000 from Soros and his family, together with donations from Hong Kong-based businesswoman Ms. Consolacion Esdicul, amounted to about 15% of J Street’s funding in its early years.

In previous statements and on its web site J Street had seemed to deny receiving support from foreign interests and from Soros.

Jeremy Ben-Ami apologized for earlier “misleading” statements regarding funding from Soros. Ben-Ami also clarified that donors to 501(c)(4) organizations are promised confidentiality by law and challenged critics to make public the contributors to opposing organizations.

Loaded with junk as usual. Deserves to die like most things in DC.

Thank you, Liz. Every report and post about bucks to Ukraine should remind the reader that the entire US Marine Corp budget is $53 Billion.
