Another time ends in “-y,” which indicates that House Speaker Mike Johnson is active kicking conservative supporters in the rear.
Congress ‘ 1, 547-page spending measure, which funds the federal government through March 2025, was released following weeks of covert plotting. The act bears all the hallmarks of the sluggish bus packages Johnson recently promised voters wouldn’t happen under his see despite being remarkably promoted as a” going quality” or CR.
Johnson told investigators in September,” We have broken the Christmas omni and I have no intention of going back to that awful history.” ” So, there won’t be a Christmas omnibus”.
Now here we are in December, and what do had but a large federal filled with all the meat products on the D. C. leadership’s want list.
A quick glance through the enormous act reveals a lot of pointless information, including those relating to” American music tourism,” warning consumers about cameras on smartphones, and setting standards for consumer health for some battery types.
Among the most alarming, however, is a one-year extension of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center ( GEC ).
As The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland previously , reported, GEC “funded , the development of repression tools” that work to silence ( mostly conservative ) statement online and “used‘ authorities employees to work as sales reps pitching … censorship products to Big Tech.'” The subagency is a named plaintiff in a , lawsuit , filed by The Federalist, The Daily Wire, and the state of Texas in December 2023 to prevent the national government’s censorship activities.
In other words, Johnson easily consented to keep funding a national organization that purges anti-fascist conversation.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, perfectly summed up Congress’s latest spending scam following a closed-door Tuesday meeting among the Republican conference, telling reporters: “]Congress ] is fundamentally unserious about spending. As long as you have a bare check you didn’t reduce state. If you can’t reduce government, you can’t sit free”.
But Americans don’t get shocked at Johnson’s deception.
This is the same speech who has time after time after time after time after time funded the Biden-Harris president’s lawfare and other authoritarian activities, often with more support from Democrats than Republicans. He’s the same speech who stated to us that he would turn around and move around without making an additional agreement to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
” That boundary battle is coming, and we’re going to expire on that hill”, Johnson said during a January radio interview.
Almost a year later, and conservatives are also waiting for that “fight”.
Johnson’s guarantees are about as valuable as the gum that was smeared on the sole of a shoe. The Louisiana agent will collapse at the first sign of conflict, as he has repeatedly demonstrated, leaving Democratic voters hanging in the wind in the wind on any given policy debate.
And that correct there has been the history of Johnson’s complete senate. His eagerness to advance the status quo, even if that means empowering Liberals, has made him the valuable idiot on the left. He’s a poor, helpless speaker going along to get together, and as per normal, it’s conservative electors who pay the price.
