Conservatives and allies of President-elect Trump are dismantling a narrative put forth by Democratic lawmakers such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren that Republicans blocked funding for childhood cancer research in the spending bill, pointing to a stand-alone bill that had languished in the Democratic-controlled Senate for months.

From P Shanker, MD post on X... So apparently GOP House passed funding for the pediatric cancer hospitals last year, in a stand alone bill.

Democrats led by Senate Majority Leader @SenSchumer and @JoeBiden sat on it so they could use it as a bargaining chip. 9:33 AM · Dec 20, 2024

“blocked funding for childhood cancer research in the spending bill”

Good. Doesn’t belong in the spending bill.

The only comment that I would add to Dr. Shanker's post on X is that one highly suspects that the Dems want the childhood cancer research measure to fail in order to justify their whiney, malignant blames.

Sorry kids, the Dems don't really care for you at all, after all.

The same thing happened with the “stadium bill”. Passed by the House, languishing in the Senate, crammed into the continuing resolution only to be passed by the Senate as a stand alone bill on the exact same night as the final continuing resolution bill.

We all naturally cheer for cancer cures, but let’s be honest. We still know just a little bit more than nothing about how to fight most cancers. This item on the spending bill is not constitutional, and would only serve to put money into pockets.

That’s because they’re pure unadulterated wickedness incarnate.

The merits of the bill are likely worthy of debate.

The title of the bill "childhood cancer research" appears to be remorseless deceit.

So many Americans are affected by cancer and we worry about our kids and grandkids. The title of the bill just might be aimed at those who want the best for our kids' health, and do not suspect apparently deceitful cons.

Ideally, we'll hear much more about this, and learn more and more.

Which probably isn’t enough to outweigh the bad.

The left will still believe the original Trump-bad story, that’s the way things work now.
