The Sinate passed it on Superbowl Sunday. They wanted to make sure we were distracted by the Chiefs, Swift, etc.

The form requires a zip code to confirm that you’re in his district, so I wouldn’t be able to thank him except by phone message.

Except peace through strength is not your true objective here. We have spoke before. You are all in with the “war makes our economy better” myth and THAT is why you argue for war. You are nothing but a salesman for MIC war profits and could care less about the logic of foreign wars, only that it buys MIC products and services.

So? How is that “war makes our economy better” working out? The only ones making any money are those who steal our money and write checks to themselves using the wars as a proxy cause. Do you think they care about who wins or loses? Absolutely not, all they care about is playing the game so they can supply the equipment to play the game.

If you believe it is anything other then you are either brainwashed, ignorant, or you are one of the selfish criminals stealing from our Grandchildren under false pretenses.

Ewe Crane will have to get its money from the Euroweenie Socialist wing of NATO. THey are already squirming and squealing in abject fear at the prospect of Big Ivan taking Poland and The Rhineland.All they do is bleat.

The USA has born the major burden of paying out the Ewe Crane war....time for Euroweenie Socialist NATO to take the lead.

The bleating sheep need to ante up.

Ewe Crane is real !

It means that the Speaker may say the Senate bill is Dead on Arrival, but lets make sure no secret bill is brought up to address the Senate bill in a middle of the night vote.

“will he lose his spine again…”

More likely the same RINO turncoats will swoop in and once again save the day for the ‘Rats.

I believe the Speaker of the House has the authority to withhold bringing a bill to the floor which then requires a discharge petition to bring it forth over the objection of the Speaker of the House which requires a majority of the house voting for the discharge petition.

However, the Speaker of the House still has the power of scheduling the vote, and can employ delaying tactics. As I understand it at any rate.

We shall see I guess. Let's pray that he does everything in his power to keep it from hitting the floor.

But yes, the RINOs are an enemy of the base for sure. They are the reason fund raising for the Republican Party is at an all time low.

My guess, 1) senate RINOs, 2) Biden veto.

To: Openurmind; All

You have to open your Christian mind my FRiend,

I’m not certain you have truly understood the immense danger the Russia-Iran/Hamas-North Korea Alliance represent for our true allies, and for America.
It’s a clear and present danger, as they attack our allies Israel and Ukraine and threaten way more of our friends - like Poland for example.
Reducing this problem by saying that only America’s Military Industrial Complex is to blame for this situation is not only dishonest, it’s pure insanity.

America is a civilized country, that’s why we need to continue respecting the rule of law and the many bilateral agreements we have signed years ago with our Israeli and Ukrainian allies. You seem to be willing to tear our bilateral agreements to pieces - making America’s signatures a joke.

Let me do an analogy:
If you would happen to see a woman you know very well being raped by 4 rapists (Russia/Iran/Hamas/N.Korea), would you let it happen before your eyes, deciding to not intervene, thinking it would only help the Police Industrial Complex narrative and willingness to rearm and buy more costly offensive gear at the expense of American tax-payers… ?

You seem to be in direct opposition to the tough Trump policies he put in place against Russia while he was running the White House. (I have a 40-point list of the many spectacular things Trump did against Russia… example: leveling a Russian military base in Syria with 59 Tomahawks, the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats from America, the annihilation of 300 Russian soldiers in Syria by US forces under Trump’s direct orders, the assassination of pro-Russian Iranian military leaders , etc.. etc… Tell me if you want me to post the list again.

When it comes to Ukraine, Trump REVERSED the hideous Obama policies you seem to be supporting.
Indeed, Obama REFUSED to send any weapons to Ukraine! And that is a policy you seem willing to continue. Right?

Remember, Trump was the one who initiated the massive shipments of high-tech US weaponry to Ukraine. Do you oppose those Trump policies?
Trump was intervening everywhere around the world to protect Americas interests. He activated US troops in Syria (killing many Russian troops), sent US troops to Poland, etc…
He was an interventionist! So according to your logic that makes Trump a supporter of the MIC… ?

You have totally misunderstood who Trump truly is…
Unwittingly you might be a pacifist… peace at any cost… even if it destroys America’s strength and interests around the world.

I suggest you start supporting the proven interventionist / pro-active military policies Trump pushed through 2016-2020.

All the best,
