They may cut off funds for the Iran blockade, aiding the mullahs.
Voters who rebuked President Trump for his many excesses should savor the week because politics in Washington aren’t about to get more substantive or enlightening. The first Democratic big idea is to take the government budget hostage to defund U.S. troops in the middle of a naval blockade in the Middle East.
A stopgap funding measure expires on Dec. 11, and Democrat Ro Khanna this week floated “a continuing resolution prohibiting the financing of any combat activities of the U.S. military in Iran.” Democratic leader Chuck Schumer told the press that many of his members will want to exploit the funding fight to force concessions on Iran.
The U.S. now has one political party and a faction of another (including Vice President JD Vance) openly telling America’s enemies that we don’t have the will to sustain so much as a naval blockade. Democrats think they have a mandate to end the war no matter the details, but voters can recognize defeat and that’s what driving the U.S. from the Strait of Hormuz at the current moment would be. Ask the mullahs if they’ll allow oil to move. Democrats can expect to co-own the war’s unpopularity under the surrender strategy.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has been running a war on a budget that didn’t account for weeks of strikes and a months-long blockade. Republican appropriator Sen. Susan Collins has warned of “near-term solvency challenges” in U.S. forces. The Pentagon’s high fixed costs mean it may have to cannibalize exercises, flying hours, maintenance and the like.
Republicans had better get moving with a lame-duck reconciliation bill that gives defense enough funding to survive Democratic intransigence. The Pentagon is facing two nuclear adversaries and a major technological evolution in...

If the Republicans had done this in May, they might still control at least one house of Congress.
Aiding and abetting. Arrest them for being enemies of the state.
“Republicans had better get moving with a lame-duck reconciliation bill...”
Thune will stop anything good for the country.
The Board of Truth: This Election Will Not Stand - John Michael Chambers - JMC Broadcasting

Check the comments below the podcast!!
John Michael Chambers convenes four trustees to analyze three war reports from Guardian Daniel. Joining him are retired Australian Army Special Forces Lt Col Riccardo Bosi, national leader of Australia One; retired U.S. Army Lt Col Tom Lennox, whose logistics and procurement work produced more than a billion dollars in annual savings; retired Navy SEAL and CIA contract operative Michael Jaco, with 35 years of service in high-risk environments; and Will Barney, who brings more than 19 years in banking and commercial project finance.
The panel begins with Operation Central Casting, examining Trump’s references to actor entities and the term central casting as a signal that the visible political stage no longer wields real governing power. Riccardo walks through the Overton Window and how the range of acceptable discourse has split into a sphere of mutually antithetical camps, while Tom raises the 385 members of Congress named in the Brunson case and the Fourth PSYOP Group at Fort Bragg, and Michael speaks from experience about masks, infiltration, and what the public is beginning to notice. Will frames the whole thing as a deprogramming process that has to move slowly enough not to break people.
The second report, The Limit of Controlled Destruction, covers the disclosure of ritual crimes and why an elite cannot build total control on the foundation of its own moral self-annihilation. Riccardo brings in Tolkien and the hand of Providence, Tom shares two accounts of children nearly taken and the cleaning of the Reflecting Pool, Michael discusses remote viewing and the slow shift in what audiences will accept, and Will explains why memes break the illusion of truth.
The final report covers Executive Order 13848 and the 45-day window, with Riccardo conceding he called the midterms wrong and explaining why electoral fraud is now the fastest path to collapse, Tom outlining the Q phone and the 120-day new election, Michael describing the trap set across Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida, and Will laying out the July, August, and September disclosures that put everything on the public record. All four trustees agree: this election result will not stand.
They MAY!?
Have we met the Democrats?
Dems will do anything to let Iran win. Even a naval blockade is too much for anti American democrats
Why are you blog pimping?
There’s no scenario where any of this wishful thinking changes anything.
The challenge now is to prepare for our multiple responses.
Democrats are helping our sworn enemies.
Is that not enough to force them from office?
In retrospect, they should have done that.
I have numerous military veterans who highly recommend this podcast including intel officers. If you don’t want to hear truth, don’t listen.
Thank God our forefathers didn’t cry about defeat and, instead, fought our enemies.
Sorry my post offended you!
The next government shutdown will make the previous ones look like a mild hiccup.
“Enemies of the state” is a meaningless insult.
Where’s the crime?
“If the Republicans had done this in May, they might still control at least one house of Congress.”

Earlier this year I asked for action repeatedly:
There is something like $166 billion in potential tariff refunds that could be subjected to a special 100% income tax and the proceeds used to issue Gas Price Help checks (~$600 each) to owners of insured motor vehicles.
Call your Congressman’s main office now!
Tax the tariff refunds at 100%, then rebate ~$600 to each insured motor vehicle owner.
Obama’s Muslim accomplices here and elsewhere need to realize Israel can take out Iran’s refineries.
The Russians have already bought up all the replacement parts China can produce.
Iranians will be walking for a long time.
That's the start while Trump is in office
When they win in 2028 they are going to fund the rebuilding of Iran's missile and nuclear capabilities and facilitate China and Russia's ballistic missile tech transfer just like they did under Obama
defund what??...there are no troops on the ground....US 5TH FLEET operates there normally
Voters who rebuked President Trump for his many excesses “
The kind of BS we expect from the TDS a-holes at the WSJ. This happened because 6 years of inflation boiled over. Constant irritation every time you buy gas or groceries will make people do stupid things.
And who’s going to sign it? And it takes a two-thirds majority (supermajority) in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to approve a budget (or any appropriations bill) if the president vetoes it.
The republicans in those chambers want to keep their jobs. And there isn’t but a couple of them that are willing to step forward with a backbone and take their licks depending on what they are.
If the truth ever came out into the open about what is actually going on in the middle east being orchestrated by Iran, Russia, and China, a whole bunch of liars would be in the spotlight. And even the media wouldn’t be able to supply bail.
