Speaker Johnson statement on possible government shutdown: Border security must be addressed immediately
Twitter/X ^ | Feb 25 | Chad Pergram

1) Johnson: Despite the counterproductive rhetoric in Leader Schumer’s letter, the House has worked nonstop, and is continuing to work in good faith, to reach agreement with the Senate on compromise government funding bills in advance of the deadlines.

2) Johnson: Our position is that of the American people and our mission is to take steps to rein in Democrats’ overspending and policies that are harming the economy, raising prices, and making everyday life harder for our constituents.

3) Johnson: Leader Schumer’s letter fails to mention that many of the points still being debated come from new Democrat demands that were not previously included in the Senate bills.

4) Johnson: At a time of divided government, Senate Democrats are attempting at this late stage to spend on priorities that are farther left than what their chamber agreed upon.

5) Johnson: This is not a time for petty politics. House Republicans will continue to work in good faith and hope to reach an outcome as soon as possible, even as we continue to insist that our own border security must be addressed immediately.

“How we stop it?”

With a sheet of paper with ink on it:

Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....

Rinse and repeat. This always happens if Republican win the WH after a disaster from the outgoing Dems. Clinton, Obama and Biden all blamed the former admin.

Shut it down. Functioning govt is destroying the country. Just take a month or two off. It will help focus on what is essential. Then just do that, afterward.

Hope he and the rest of the conservative Republicans hold tight and not cave. Nothing short of shutting the revolving door at the southern border should be accepted.

Speaker Johnson is being too polite in his wording.

In plain-speak, the rats keep moving the bar in budget negotiations. They keep adding stuff that was never before mentioned. The rats are purposely trying to shut the government down because they want to keep the border open.

The guy must be ‘dense’.

Biden is not going to change his border policy for any reason whatsoever. So the guy is just posturing for the ‘conservative crowd’, and he knows it. But worse, the ‘conservative crowd’ eats it up.

Putin loves the gift the guy is giving him; Xi is all smiles, seeing the Taiwan will get no aid; Israel is being pushed into positions it should not have to make. And in Ukraine, a whole lot of people are dying that should not have to.

All of that is being aided by because people like Biden, Newsom, and A. Shift are on the take from Chinese criminal gangs and drug manufactures.
