Seems to be a step up. Cali Kev would have made a deal, for the right amount of donor money. “Raising money” is his claim to fame after all.

They seem hell bent on sending money to Ukraine even want to prevent a President from stopping it.

Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and Company do not represent We The People in any way, shape or form.

As I said, stay vigilant

Biden’s money grubbing bill would handover
<><>$1.6 billion tax dollars for foreign military financing in Ukraine,
<><>and $13.7 billion tax dollars for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative

=============through Sept 30, 2025==============
That’s nearly a year into the upcoming presidential term for Trump.

And it contains what only a venal corrupt Ukranian would think of.........
an impeachment landmine for Trump if he tries to stop the funding.

Mike grows a spine, finally. Better late than never, but it would have been better had he had a spine all along.

Relentless pressure will soon come so lets see.

But this is a terrific statement I think.

It looks like the "speaking softly" part is over.

Speaker Johnson may have been in the House only since 2017, but he's not letting Schumer and McConnell bully him into subservience to their "seniority." The Speakership is a big stick and he's wielding it.

I fully expect the Democrats to become more aggressive in trying to pick off two more Republican House seats in order to retake control of the House. McConnell will start pressuring Representatives who have Senatorial aspirations.

I posted long ago that McConnell is like the Alec Guiness character in the movie "Bridge on the River Kwai" who forgets who's side he's on and becomes obsessively protective of the bridge he's built for the enemy.

McConnell identifies more with the deals he's made with Democrats than he does with the Republican opposition agenda. Democrats know that it takes coordination between the House and Senate (Pelosi and Schumer) to achieve their agenda, but McConnell is stuck on his own prowess as a deal-maker and the sanctity of the institution that he loves and dedicated his whole life to (which the Democrats know and use as a weapon against him).

McConnell will never deign to work with Johnson to craft a bicameral Republican strategy to stop the Democrats, so House Republicans have to fight both the Democrats and McConnell to get what we want passed.

Good get rid of it and start from scratch..ANY bill that has a provision in it that says that if Trump refuses to give Ukraine money he gets impeached needs to go NOW! The dems put that in there because they know that Trump will win in November so they are already preparing to impeach him

Yeah, after I posted that, I then thought to myself, will he lose his spine again or will he retain it. Let’s pray it’s the latter.

It’s a good thing Mike Johnson is House Speaker now instead of Kevin McCarthy.

Your most welcome. I truly feel we have enough Patriots here on FR that if we all take a few minutes to encourage those who need it, IT WILL make a difference.
