The current government shutdown is the second longest in history

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on Saturday that food stamps will not be issued next month due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

The shutdown, which is the second longest, entered its 26th day.

The Senate has not passed the House bill to continue government funding.

"Bottom line, the well has run dry," the USDA said on its website. "At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01."

I’ve got an excellent idea. Have every illegal alien thief take a food stamper out to dinner at least once. The U.S. taxpayers are paying for the illegal aliens’ meals anyway.

Democrats in the Senate have had 12 opportunities to pass the budget and provide food to the needy. They refused. Democrats don’t care about the needy. They care about illegal immigrants and drug running terrorists.

The day after the food benefits are stopped there will be news photos for the TV media showing starving children.

Overnight hours can be so devastating. 🍽️

Good idea.

The author Henry Miller was always out of money when he lived in Europe.
Using his personality and charm he set up a plan where he would have a dinner invitation for each day of the month from someone, thus not wearing out his welcome.

“Let us living ones dance about the rim of the crater, a last expiring dance, but a dance!”

Oh no! What ever will Walmart & Kroger do?! Oh wait, they’ll just text the senators. Like the distinguished Rep from farmland Iowa who introduced a stand alone Snap bill. Meanwhile the Kubuki theatre will continue...

Ha.

No food to eat but at least keeping fluids going will stave off dehydration.

“””Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the USDA said on its website. “At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01.”””

Never fear. I’m betting that the Democrats have it planned (and have had) to end the shutdown just before Thanksgiving Day, so that they can ‘take credit’ for magnanimously not wanting to spoil everyone’s holiday. They will hype it up to the press that they’re the ‘bigger person’ in this fight while they pretend to be heroes.

Me? I think every swingin-D one of the rats should have their paychecks docked $10,000 for every day they stubbornly refuse to sign on to the CR that they, themselves, have signed onto many times in the past, even preaching against shutting down the government as they are now doing. I can dream, can’t I?

Let the rioting kick in first, and then they can rush in and save the day. Get Democrats on record voting to let babies starve. In the mean time, stock up. You might not want to leave the house for a week or 2.

The checkout clerk at Walmart told me there are people who are already trying to walk out with grocery carts filled with food. Apparently, on YouTube, there are many, many welfare queens screaming and spitting that everyone needs to steal food when their welfare food cards are denied, because ‘they can’t arrest all of us’.

Just a CR. The Republicans have not put up a budget bill.
