The Senate last night, while everyone was listening to Biden defend his Presidency and the Tucker Carlson/ Putin interview, voted in a procedural vote to advance to debate a aid package of 95.34 billion for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

www.newsweek.com...




The Senate in a procedural vote on Thursday advanced a $95.34 billion foreign funding package that would give aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, with the help of 17 Republicans.

The aid package includes $61 billion for Ukraine in its war with Russia, $14 billion for Israel as it fights Hamas in Gaza, and $4.83 billion to help America's allies in the Indo-Pacific region, which includes Taiwan. The package will also give $9.15 billion in humanitarian aid to conflict zones like Gaza, the West Bank and Ukraine.


Here are the 17 Republicans:




The package advanced to debate with a 67 to 32 vote. The 17 Republicans who voted to advance the package are:
Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
Susan Collins of Maine
John Cornyn of Texas
Joni Ernst of Iowa
Chuck Grassley of Iowa
John Kennedy of Louisiana
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
Jerry Moran of Kansas
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Mitt Romney of Utah
Mike Rounds of South Dakota
Dan Sullivan of Alaska
John Thune of South Dakota
Thom Tillis of North Carolina
Roger Wicker of Mississippi
Todd Young of Indiana.


Yep, the Senate is going to spend the few days they have before break to work on spending money for other countries; Not trying to figure out how to stop the rogue Biden administration from trafficking people for sex, slave wages, criminal mayhem, etc.

Stay well everyone because doctors appointments are a 1-2month wait and specialists are 5-6 month wait where I live due to the illegal immigrants. ( My Health insurance went up 200.00 dollars per month this year- same crappy coverage.)

And another $20 says many of those republicans could have nice new holiday properties in places like Lahaina and business interests in a Ukranian piggy bank if they play their part of removing their sense of morality for the Kudos of being in league with the Devil.

Told you the first number was high balling so they could negotiate.

This is going to happen and it will spell the end of the USA. People are seriously going to regret doing nothing.

I do ponder where the heck the Government members are all going to flee to when this country goes completely haywire and down the drain. I have heard many Congress members have dual Citizenship- I guess that is their plan.

We spend billions on securing borders, just not our own.

When this government ratified NAFTA under Bill Clinton, I knew certainly we had been betrayed by our government.

Under Bill Clinton's watch, China was declaired Most Favored Trading Nation. They got preferential treatment under that declaration. That status remained in effect until Trump canceled it.

The combined budget for Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Coast Guard comes to around 32 Billion per year.

If you're religious, take comfort:

"...and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
-Revelation 6:16-17

Bunkers? D.U.M.B's? Fortresses?? Won't make a difference. Might as well be their tombs.

Well, depending on your beliefs of course.

See. All that arguing about border security was BS.

Shut it down.

Not enough Democrat voters have come through yet to replace the ones Biden keeps losing. Until then, full speed ahead.

You want health insurance? Food stamps? Living arrangements? You got it!

The Democrats use the border to fund bills to cities and states that need 'help'. If the border was closed the money would dry up.

This is why Trump was impeached about Ukraine. It was about money. He knew then what was going on. The kickbacks. Remember Kerrys visits to Europe. Talking to Iran.....

They all, including Rand I saw his vote, need to go.

Unsurprisingly they are at it again last night and today. They plan to have a vote tomorrow on Super Bowl Sunday. Sneaky Petes:

Senate gets the no-border supplemental one step closer to passage

A previous version of the supplemental spending bill that included border spending and policy changes was blocked earlier this week.

Chuck Schumer moved to wrap up debate on the no-border supplemental spending bill on Friday, putting aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan one step closer to passage. The Senate advanced the $95 billion bill by a 64-19 vote.

Fourteen Republicans voted yes on the measure. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt), who caucuses with Democrats, voted against due to concerns over aid to Israel.

Now, the Senate is in for a laggard series of weekend votes before moving on to final passage. That will include a critical vote on Sunday to overcome a filibuster on the bill. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has vowed to object to a time agreement that could speed up progress, meaning senators will have to run out the clock on debate between each vote, since any one senator can object to a time agreement.

That not only slows the bill down, but also means there’s little prospect of a comprehensive series of votes on amendments. Those are most easily scheduled by unanimous agreement among all senators.

“I hope our Republican colleagues can work with us to reach an agreement on amendments, so we can move this process along,” Schumer said Friday. ”Democrats are willing to consider reasonable and fair amendments here on the floor, as we’ve shown on many occasions in the past three years.”
