House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday told PunchBowl News’ Jake Sherman that he will not put the Senate aid bill on the House floor.
Last week Republican Senators voted against advancing a compromised ‘border security bill’ that would have allocated more money to foreign countries while largely ignoring the US border.
The Senate’s $118.28 billion national security supplemental package allocated $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
Only $20.23 billion was allocated to secure the US border amid an unprecedented invasion of military-age males from Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and China.
After this bill failed to pass the Senate last week, Schumer rolled out another supplemental aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
The Senate early Tuesday passed Schumer’s supplemental aid package and allocated $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. 22 Republicans voted in favor of giving foreign countries money while ignoring the crisis at the US border.
The $95 billion package will now head to the House of Representatives.
However, Speaker Johnson will not bring the aid package to the floor for a vote.
“I certainly don’t right now. We’re dealing with the appropriations process. We have immediate deadlines upon us and that’s where the attention f the House is in this moment,“ Speaker Johnson told Jake Sherman.

Speaker Johnson Monday evening said of the $95 billion aid bill: “America deserves better than the Senate’s status quo.”

Joe Biden on Tuesday showed up one hour late to deliver remarks on the Senate’s passage of a supplemental package.
Biden angrily warned Republicans in Congress and said those who oppose funding for Ukraine would be held accountable.
“For Republicans in Congress who think they can oppose funding for Ukraine and not be held accountable, history is watching. Failure to support Ukraine will never be forgotten,” Biden said.

History is watching? Who's actually watching is the Biden Crime Family, the Ukrainian Mafia, the MIC, NATO and the globalist neocons.
They've all got their hands in the till.
They will have to go for discharge petition
Mike is standing strong
Biden is history. He is watching. But he already forgot.
Senate can pass HR2 border bill. Or no money for proxy wars.
YAY!! Awaiting the flow of angry tears from UKRAINE’s propagandists and our resident neocon/globalists.
Failure to get out of the Middle East in general decades ago will not be forgotten.
Odds of a discharge petition happening?
Close the Border Joe!
At the end of the day, this isn’t about mere politics. It’s about the survival of the US. Yes, it’s that serious. Hence my tag line.
**** Joe Pedo. Somebody has to get his out of control ass under control. The boy is a pig.
Literally. A Mexican standoff.
May the grid be forever locked.
Just like a crime boss Brandon is threatening those who would dare oppose him.
History is watching? Who’s actually watching is the Biden Crime Family, the Ukrainian
Mafia, the MIC, NATO and the globalist neocons. They’ve all got their hands in the till.

Schumer won't bring it to the floor.
And by the way...McConnell was a co-sponsor of HR2.
House Speaker Mike Johnson needs to send it back to the Senate in the form of used toilet paper, which is still an improvement on the bill the Senate sent to the House.
Biden is taking funds from Veterans Affairs and giving it to illegals. Then he rails on Trump.
Good. Ukraine has got unknown hundreds of billions of dollars that has been totally unaccounted for. Not one more penny.
