Budget Battle Tests Boehners’ Resolve to Get Things Done. Did He Pass?

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Recently my facebook wall was on fire with Teaparty members disagreeing about  Fridays’ last minute deal. Some believed there were wins here though.  I think it is also good to point the bit of progress made. After all the history of offers on this bill went  like this: “Democrats first offered no cuts, then $4 billion, then $6.5 billion, then $33 billion, then settled at $38.5 billion.” and although it did not defund Obamacare,  or Planned Parenthood some felt it was a start.

 Another fb friend said “We could find 100’s of millions more to cut, and I have no doubt, if we controlled the senate as well as the house more cuts would have happened. But everyone has to understand, we control a little over 1/2 of the House. We have a minority in the Senate. And we have a Democratic White House. Of all the gains we made in the last election, we are still in a bad position, with limited options. Be careful what you ask for. A government shutdown wouldn’t have been the end of the world, but it would have cost us more money, and everyone would have felt effects from it. Keep the pressure on, and move slowly, and carefully back in the right direction “

In an almost an apologetic manner facebookers offered up:  “that when you only control a little over one half of one third, we did pretty good getting with what we did. “  Oh yeah? Lets wait and see if you still feel that way at the end of this article. Before I tell you how I really feel shall we examine the record for ourselves? What did this CR accomplish?

  • Our military will get paid. We COULD NOT let our military not get paid. Their first check would’ve been delayed, their next check would be stopped until another deal was made.

 

  • This was a bipartisan agreement on spending cuts to support American job creation.

 

  • It is the LARGEST SPENDING CUT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. This agreement immediately cuts $38.5 billion in federal spending – the largest spending cut in American history in terms of dollars – just months after President Obama asked Congress for a spending “freeze” that would mean zero cuts.

 

  • There are HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS IN SPENDING CUTS which happen save money for the American people. This agreement will cut hundreds of billions of dollars from the federal budget over the next decade – “real money,” as the Wall Street Journal editorial board recently noted.
  • It officially ends the “STIMULUS” SPENDING BINGE. This agreement begins to reverse the “stimulus” spending binge that began in 2009  
  • This agreement also signals the official end of a period of unprecedented government intervention that former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan and other economists say hurt job creation in America by crowding out private investment.
  • It set the stage for trillions more in spending cuts because it clears the way for congressional action on House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s budget – ‘The Path to Prosperity’ – and that in turn cuts trillions in spending and offers a long-term blueprint for American job creation.
  • It guarantees a senate vote on the repeal of Obamacare. The agreement reached with Senate Democrats guarantees a Senate debate and vote on legislation that would repeal President Obama’s government takeover of health care in its entirety. The House passed such legislation in January as part of the Pledge to America.
  • NEW TOOLS IN THE FIGHT TO REPEAL OBAMACARE. The agreement will generate new tools for the fight to repeal Obamacare by requiring numerous studies that will force the Obama Administration to reveal the true impact of the law’s mandates, including a study of how individuals and families will see increased premiums as a result of certain Obamacare mandates; they would have to reveal in a full audit all of the waivers that the Obama Administration has given to firms and organizations – including unions – who can’t meet the new annual coverage limits.
  • a full audit of what’s happening with the comparative effectiveness research funding that was in Obamacare and the president’s failed “stimulus” spending bill; and a report on all of the contractors who have been hired to implement the law and the costs to taxpayers of such contracts.
  • It denies additional funding to the IRS:  The Obama administration has sought increased federal funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) – money that could be used to hire additional agents to enforce the administration’s agenda on a variety of issues. This increased funding is denied in this recent agreement.
  • It guarantees a senate vote & debate on DE-FUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD.  We are talking about a Senate debate and vote on legislation that would end federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
  • BANS TAXPAYER FUNDING OF ABORTION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The agreement includes a complete ban on federal funding of abortion in the District of Columbia, applying the pro-life principles of the Hyde Amendment (“D.C. Hyde”).
  • There are mandatory audits of the new job crushing bureaucracy set up under Senators Dodd-Frank. The agreement subjects the so-called Consumer Financial Protection Bureau created by the job-destroying Dodd-Frank law to yearly audits by both the private sector and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to monitor its impact on the economy, including its impact on jobs, by examining whether sound cost-benefit analyses are being used with rule makings.

This is My Two cents:

All this sounds like good news and it is however If I were to define Speaker Boehner’s performance I would have to say he was too meek.  In case you need help understanding what I mean by meek; I will attempt to define meek for you. Meek is not a word we use much in the American English language.  It’s meaning is power under control or power which refuses to exert itself on another.  Jesus Christ was meek by choice, out of love. He had all the power to do what he wanted but he did not use it.  John Boehner was too meek, and what a disappointment he was to many of us yesterday.  I am not trying to compare the Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner to Jesus Christ.  Jesus meekness is a virtue while for Boehner it is not. Boehner in meekness to the Democrats actually reveals his inadequacy as a leader. Another thing to consider is although there is much good in Paul Ryan’s budget proposal; it won’t pass in its’ original version either because it takes down Obamacare and we’ve seen a preview of the future with the past weeks budget battle. There was a standoff and the republicans in the House blinked.

I agree with you we had to pass something to pay our military and the CR in itself does a lot of good but Boehner had the wrong disposition to begin with. Have you ever watched a standoff? Show even a HINT of weakness and you are done. Boehner used words which reflect his willingness to compromise not just this past week but during the history of his leadership

 Let’s face it Boehner is a career politician. Without term limits these politicians worry too much about losing their jobs. Boehner needs to understand his compromise on Planned Parenthood WILL cause him to lose his job. The CR is not such a bad deal. You have to look closely to see where the trouble is, when you do then you see what he did was tip his hand. It’s symbolic of his willingness to give in,  He actually said “this is the BEST we could do” no Mr. Speaker, this is just the same ole way of thinking and you disappoint me sir. I did not put you in power so you could let me down again, and THAT is what is unforgivable and the reason so many are up in arms.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller Appears Dazed And Confused As He Mumbles And Refuses To Answer Most Questions In Capitol Hill Testimony This Morning

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller frequently appeared confused during his much-anticipated Capitol Hill testimony Wednesday.

All I can say is that this whole thing is a sham from start to finish. When Mueller is not mumbling and appearing confused, he is obfuscating and refusing to answer simple questions regarding such hot button topics like the phony Steele Russian Dossier. I don’t believe a word of this dog and pony show, none of it. When all is said and done, this farce will do nothing to advance the Democrats campaign to destroy the president.

In just the first 90 minutes of the hearing, Mueller needed help understanding questions more than 10 times.

FROM GRABIEN NEWS: Robert Mueller, who is often celebrated in the media for laser-like thinking, had to ask lawmakers to regularly repeat their questions, seemingly struggling to pay attention.

At other points, Mueller got confused about whether the members of Congress were asking him questions or if they were reading from his own report. In just the first 90 minutes of the hearing, Mueller needed help understanding questions more than 10 times.

In one such exchange, Mueller, under questioning from Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.), asked: “And where are you reading from on that?”

“I’m reading from my own question” the lawmaker reminded him. “Then can you repeat it?” Mueller asked, eliciting laughter from the audience. READ MORE

Irony Abounds As Child Molester Creepy Joe Biden Says We Are In A ‘Battle For Soul Of Our Nation’ As He Announces 2020 Presidential Run

Creepy Joe Biden launches 2020 presidential bid, says ‘we are in a battle for the soul of this nation’ as he faces accusations of unwanted touching.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Former Vice President Joe Biden launched his third bid for the presidency, positioning himself as a trusted champion of the middle class eager to take the fight to President Donald Trump. But there’s a little problem.

I honestly do not think that Creepy Joe Biden can win his party’s nomination much less rise to take the highest office in the land. He is a bloviator who frequently makes horrific gaffes when speaking in public, he’s old, and he does some wacky, crazy things. But the biggest reason I do not think Biden will go far is because of his decades long history of using his position of power to force unwanted touching on women, and worst of all, on little children who look terrified to be in his clutches.

“Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)

When I was a young boy, around the age of 10 or 11, my piano teacher who was an old, white-haired man who looked a lot like Joe Biden, began to fondle me during the lessons. It caused me to have to quit doing something I really loved. To this day, if I think long enough, I can remember the sound of his breath and his disgusting old man smell. And it makes me angry. I feel that same type of anger and revulsion when I watch the videos on YouTube of Joe Biden rubbing himself on the back on those little kids, and whispering his pedophilic ‘sweet nothings’ into their ears while their parents just stand there and watch. When you have been molested, you can instantly recognize what molestation looks like, and I can spot it from a mile away in the dark with my eyes closed.

So Joe Biden, here is what I say to you. When I was molested by a creepy old man in a position of power and authority that looks a lot like you, no one stood up for me, just like no one stood up for those kids you molested in those videos. So I am going to stand up for them, and remind America every time you open your mouth on the campaign trail, that you are a child molester. I will post and repost every video I can find of what you like to do to children, what you have already done to children, and let’s see if the soul of the Democratic Party is so seared that they will nominate a pedophile. I can’t take you out behind the gym, like you threatened Donald Trump with doing, but I can do this.

Joe Biden launches 2020 presidential bid, says ‘we are in a battle for the soul of this nation’

FROM NBC NEWS:  In a video released early Thursday morning, Biden said that “we are in a battle for the soul of this nation.” In the opening of his announcement video, Biden highlighted the 2017 violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, where during a large gathering of white nationalists and counter-protesters, a white supremacist rammed his car into an opposition group, killing one person.

Biden noted that President Donald Trump said there were some “very fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville, where the white nationalist protest was aimed against the city taking down a statue of Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general.

“In that moment, I knew the threat to this nation was unlike any I’d seen in my lifetime,” Biden said, adding that he believes “history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an aberrant moment in time.”

“But if we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation,” Biden continued. “Who we are. And I cannot stand by and watch that happen.””

A spokesperson for former President Barack Obama told NBC News that he “has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made.”

President Trump tweeted Thursday morning about Biden joining the large Democratic primary field, saying, “Welcome to the race Sleepy Joe.”

Over his long career, Biden has taken positions on a wide range of issues — from bussing to banking — that could be liabilities in today’s more racially sensitive and economically progressive Democratic Party. Biden is famously affectionate, but in the #MeToo era, several women have also come forward to say he made them feel uncomfortable by touching them.READ MORE

Pro-Palestinian Beto O’Rourke Viciously Attacks Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu As A ‘Racist’ Who Believes That All Of Israel Belongs To The Jewish People

Fake news media darling Beto O’Rourke attacks Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and joins growing group of “new” Democrats who hate Israel and the Jews.

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

BETO O’ROURKE denied on Tuesday that donations from supporters of Israel had influenced his approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and denounced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in stark terms, saying that Israel’s leader had “openly sided with racists.”

The “new” Democratic Party is not only Progressive and Socialist, they are also decidedly anti-Israel. Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar has made no secret of her hate for the Jewish nation, and many other Socialist Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have followed suit. Now fake news media darling Beto O’Rourke has stepped up to the plate with many passive aggressive attacks on the Jews , including this overt one on Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:” Psalm 129:4-6 (KJV)

Something a lot of people may not know about Beto O’Rourke is his love of poetry. One of his poems he wrote under the pen name of ‘Psychedelic Warlord‘ talked about his fantasy of running over children with his car. This is what he said:

“As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two. I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head,”

This is the person that the “new” Democratic Party is ga-ga for, and I can see why. O’Rourke fantasized about murdering children, and the Democrats are working to make that fantasy a reality. There was a time when people who thought like this were rightly referred to as dangerous psychopaths, now we just call them Democrats.

Beto O’Rourke Slams Benjamin Netanyahu, Saying Israeli Has “Openly Sided With Racists”

FROM THE INTERCEPT: When he was asked about Israel again on Wednesday by a Palestinian-American student at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, O’Rourke repeated his condemnation of Netanyahu as, “someone who has openly sided with racists in that country,” the Washington Post correspondent Dave Weigel reported. The student shared video of O’Rourke’s full response on Facebook, while noting her disappointment that he did not pledge to restore funding to UNRWA, the United Nations agency that supports Palestinians who were expelled from or fled their homes in what is now Israel in 1948, or to “support the free speech rights of Americans who support the BDS movement.”

Last week in Iowa, O’Rourke had offered much the same criticism of Netanyahu for “aligning his party with a blatantly racist party,” in response to a question from another Palestinian-American.

O’Rourke’s Senate campaign described him last year as “a proud advocate of Israel,” but he was singled out for criticism by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in 2014, for voting against sending additional aid to Israel during its Gaza offensive that summer. “I could not in good conscience vote for borrowing $225 million more to send to Israel, without debate and without discussion, in the midst of a war that has cost more than a thousand civilian lives already, too many of them children,” O’Rourke explained on Facebook after the vote.

As Connie Bruck reported for The New Yorker that year:

Within hours, O’Rourke was flooded with e-mails, texts, and calls. The next day, the El Paso Times ran a front-page story with the headline “O’ROURKE VOTE DRAWS CRITICISM.” In the story, Stuart Schwartz, who is described as having donated a thousand dollars to O’Rourke’s previous campaign, commented that O’Rourke “chooses to side with the rocket launchers and terror tunnel builders.” A mass e-mail circulated, reading “The Following Is Shameful, El Paso Has an Anti-Israel Congressman. . . . Do Not Reelect Beto O’Rourke.” At the bottom was the address of AIPAC’s Web site.

Stuart Schwartz, an AIPAC activist who had donated to O’Rourke’s 2012 congressional campaign, was among those who denounced his 2014 vote. Schwartz met the Congressman to urge him to support Israel later that year, and again in 2017, when the pro-Israel lobbying group shared a Facebook post from O’Rourke in which he said they had discussed U.S. support for Israel and sanctions on Iran.

Despite pressure from AIPAC, however, O’Rourke has been a steadfast supporter of the Iran nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama Administration. He boycotted Netanyahu’s address to Congress in 2015 in which the Israeli leader made the case against the American president’s diplomacy. In a Medium post explaining his decision to boycott Netanyahu’s speech, O’Rourke said he was committed to “improving the historic bipartisan relationship with Israel and work together against common threats like Iran. But ultimately my commitment is to this country and our interests, and I won’t support any action that will undermine them.”

IF YOU BELIEVE IN A ‘TWO-STATE SOLUTION’ YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ THIS FIRST

Later in 2015, after traveling with J Street to Israel and the Israeli occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, O’Rourke told Jewish constituents in El Paso that he had gained a deeper understanding of the conflict. He was particularly struck, he said, by a visit to the Israeli town of Sderot, near the besieged Gaza Strip, where residents had witnessed the bombardment with their own eyes.

Asked if he regretted his vote against the supplemental funding for Israel’s Iron Dome anti-rocket system, O’Rourke said that American aid to Israel deserved scrutiny. “I think our unequivocal support at times has been damaging to Israel,” he said. READ MORE
