Democrats have Perfected the Art of Being Two-faced

Guest post by Jack Gleason

Democrats pretend to be friends to “the common man” while insulting them behind their deplorable backs. They purport to tell the truth only to be repeatedly exposed as compulsive liars.

Their duplicity is legendary.

Nowhere is this better understood than when they propose legislation using flowery language in the title to disguise their true intent…

Their Inflation Reduction Act (2022) actually increased inflation through government over-spending.

Their Build Back Better Act (2021) didn’t build much of anything except the budget deficit with its $3.5 trillion price tag.

Perhaps the best example of two-faced language was H.R.1, the “For the People Act,” a comprehensive “voting rights and election reform” bill introduced in 2019 and reintroduced in 2021 using fear of COVID to allow automatic nationwide voter registration, 15 days of early voting, and massive expansion of mail-in voting.

The real goal was to weaken election security across the board to allow Democrat cheating on a massive scale. An honest title would have been “For the Democrats Act.”

Luckily the Republicans filibustered the bill and it didn’t pass, although many of the worst provisions were enacted at the state level.

Omnibus Spending bills and Continuing Resolutions

When Congress fails to do their job to authorize spending, they lump everything into massive “omnibus spending bills” or pass “continuing resolutions” to avoid a “government shutdown.” But rather than simply maintaining funding at the same level to keep the government operating until Congress can go through the proper budget process, they use the opportunity to grant billions to their favorite special interests and pander to their transsexual and urban constituencies by sneaking extra provisions in the fine print.

Here are just a few examples that my friend Claude.ai shared with me…

2023 Omnibus Spending Bill (December 2022):

$3.6 million – Michelle Obama Trail, DeKalb County, Georgia

$3.0 million – American LGBTQ+ Museum, New York City

$2.1 million – Resource Center in Salt Lake City for “diversity and inclusion”

$1.5 million – Universal Hip Hop Museum, Bronx

$2.5 million – LGBTQ+ Community Center expansion, San Francisco

2023 Budget Resolution (September 2023):

$2.7 million – Climate change education center, Portland

$2.0 million – Great Blacks in Wax Museum, Baltimore

$3.2 million – Urban farming initiatives, Chicago

$1.5 million – Congressional Office of Diversity and Inclusion

$2.0 million – LGBTQ+ History Museum, Chicago

$1.9 million – Environmental justice research centers

$2.8 million – Cultural sensitivity training programs for federal employees

2024 Appropriations Bill (March 2024):

$3.3 million – Pollinator-friendly highway initiatives, California – (do bees vote?)

$4.1 million – Gender Studies program expansion at state universities

Perhaps the most disingenuous example of a two-faced continuing resolution was the recent December 19^th Democrat/RINO proposal to avoid a government shutdown.

The bill touted much-needed disaster funding to the tune of $110 billion, and $31 billion for farmers, but also included…

$900 million for a Washington Commanders football stadium

$8 billion to rebuild the Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge which collapsed when struck by a suspicious barge

provisions to fund twelve new biolabs

renewal of the embattled Global Engagement Center (GEC) (which Elon Musk described as the “worst offender in US government censorship & media manipulation.”)

Congressman Chip Roy labeled the 1547-page bill “CHRISTMAS CRAMNIBUS” and pointed out that it…

“Violates House Rules requiring at least 72 hours to read legislation

Stops automatic spending cuts required by law

Drives up the deficit by spending $110 billion on unpaid-for, disaster-related spending

Reauthorizes the Second Chance Act, which provides services to violent criminals

Harms refineries by allowing year-round sale of 15% ethanol gasoline

Provides billions in extra funding to the Job Corps, a failed and scandal plagued federal jobs program

Authorizes millions for “Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Programs” to give jobs to foreigners”

More provisions include…

$850k for a gay senior home

$400k for a gay activist group to teach elementary kids about being trans

$500k for a DEI zoo

$400k for a group that gives clothes to teens to help them hide their gender

The legislation also included a “Laws for Thee, Not for We” provision stipulating that members of Congress do not have to participate in the health care system they wrote into law — the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. ObamaCare. But they would still require their staffs to participate.

But there were much more sinister provisions hidden in the almost-decipherable text of the bill.

They proposed to implement H.R.8610 – Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act, which I suggested may be the real reason behind the drone PSYOP. Just like 9/11 was used to scare us into the Patriot Act, (which allowed unfettered spying on American citizens), this new law is Patriot-Act-on-steroids and allows collection of all radio signals and communications and asks us to trust that our privacy will be respected. Nothing could go wrong there, right?

An even more despicable element of the bill, buried deep in Section 605, appears to grant Congress immunity from judicial oversight. The provision on page 343 would compel courts to quash subpoenas seeking information from House offices, raising serious constitutional concerns about the separation of powers.

Oh, and they also give themselves a 40% pay raise.

Thankfully the legislation was stalled due to rigorous opposition from Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the Freedom Caucus.

No matter what happens, these kinds of hidden provisions in Democrat funding proposals reveal the true soul of the Left and their RINO coconspirators. They seek unlimited power to wield in any way they see fit – reward their friends and donors, so they can enjoy their cushy lifestyles where everyone adores and admires them. They commit crimes and hide provisions in their bills to protect themselves from discovery and prosecution. And don’t forget Biden’s penchant for doling out wide-ranging pardons.

Any excess is allowed, as long as it’s in their own interest.

This exposes the pathology of government spending.

Money taken from ordinary Americans is called “appropriations,” “allocations” or “government funds.”

They have no concept that runaway spending causes pain and suffering for families that can no longer afford food or proper medical care. Even when both parents take two jobs, they still can’t pay their credit card or utility bills.

Expensive government programs that don’t work mean citizens die from inadequate health care, unsafe roads, improperly managed diseases, unchecked availability of addictive drugs, and crime that goes unpunished.

Spendthrift government officials hold the same mindset as shoplifters, criminals and embezzlers. “I’m entitled to this. It’s not that much money. They don’t deserve it anyway.”

Democrats and RINOs feel it’s not taxpayers’ money, but theirs to spend.

Why worry about the deficit when they can simply print more money?

It’s all about power. A politician gives money to one group, and they kick some back to his campaign so he can stay in office.

Their ultimate goal is to promote lawlessness and social insanity to destroy faith, family and the United States of America.

Thankfully, a new majority of Americans has reached the tipping point and is no longer standing quietly by. We now realize that two-faced politicians – and the media that carries their water – can never be trusted again.

Next time you see 2,500 pages of legislation, read the fine print and then tell your congressman, “If you vote for this monstrosity we’ll primary you next November.”

A coalition of over thirty attorneys representing more than 1,500 individuals harmed by the failed Ebola drug Remdesivir (also marketed as Veklury®) has sent a scathing cease-and-desist letter to ABC.

The letter demands the immediate removal of content from the pilot episode of ABC’s new medical drama, Doctor Odyssey, which portrays Remdesivir as a “miracle cure.”

The legal demand obtained by The Gateway Pundit accuses ABC of promoting the drug through misleading and dangerous claims, potentially influencing viewers to trust and pursue treatments that have caused severe harm, including acute kidney injury, liver damage, and even death.

It should be noted that in November 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised against the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients, citing evidence suggesting it had little or no effect on mortality or other important outcomes.

In September 2022, lawsuits were filed against three California health care providers on grounds they used failed Ebola drug Remdesivir on patients without obtaining informed consent, resulting in the wrongful deaths of several patients

Now, the attorneys, led by Jamie Scher, Stephen Scher, and Michael Hamilton, argue that their clients, many of whom suffered life-altering injuries, were coerced into using Remdesivir under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) guidelines.

They claim these individuals were denied informed consent due to misinformation and the deliberate withholding of critical risk factors.

The letter outlines a series of demands, including:

1. Immediate Removal: Dub or delete any mentions of Remdesivir from Doctor Odyssey.
2. Financial Transparency: Disclose any agreements between ABC and the drug’s manufacturer, Gilead Sciences.
3. Victim Compensation: Establish funds for individuals harmed by Remdesivir after viewing the misleading content.
4. Public Apology: Broadcast an apology across ABC-affiliated stations, warning viewers about the drug’s risks.

Failure to meet these demands by December 31, 2024, will result in legal action, according to the attorneys.

Read the full emergency demand cease and desist letter:

Our clients were coerced and/or defrauded into accepting one or more rounds of the EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) experimental drug and were denied the opportunity to give informed consent through misinformation and the deliberate withholding of risk factors critical

to any legal or moral definition of informed consent. Coercion and fraud constitute violation of federal, civil and criminal codes and statutes. False advertisement and distribution of misinformation also constitutes violation of federal, civil and criminal codes and statutes.

It has come to our attention that ABC, Inc., and/or one or more of its affiliates have begun falsely advertising Remdesivir as a “Miracle Cure” in the new pilot episode television series “Dr. Odyssey”.

The purpose of this letter is to demand that you immediately remove the false advertisement from the Pilot, cease promoting the deadly experimental drug on any of your platforms and disgorge all funds used to promote, advertise or place Remdesivir/Veklury in front of unsuspecting and trusting viewers.

Coercing any patient into using dangerous and experimental drugs falls into the criminal categories of assault and/or battery, wrongful imprisonment, conspiracy to commit criminal acts against him to enrich the hospital, attempted murder and actual murder should they die.

Your efforts to promote Remdesivir as a miracle cure and your participation in an apparent attempt to defraud the public exposes you to shared liability, should someone be harmed by Remdesivir after watching Doctor Odyssey.

We intend to start asking our future clients if they viewed the Pilot and will be including you and one or more of your affiliates as Defendants when we determine that we have a viable cause of action against your clients for spreading potentially fraudulent information about Remdesivir/Veklury.

Dr. Bryan Ardis has issued public warnings about the dangers of Remdesivir.In the following footnote you will find the randomized controlled study published by the New England Journal of Medicine in which Remdesivir was pulled from Ebola Controlled Trials because of the high death rates, in which approximately 53% of those receiving the experimental and toxic drug dies. This study was funded and/or supported by the NAIAD, the NIH, the WHO, the DHHS, the DARPA arm of the DOD, and of course Gilead Sciences.

We hereby DEMAND that you IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESIST using any of your platforms to promote and/or place Remdesivir/Veklury® in front of viewers in any way.

Remdesivir has been determined to be unsafe and ineffective by a number of trials/studies including by the WHO. Remdesivir/Veklury® is a nucleotide analogue RNA polymerase inhibitor. It can cause acute kidney injury, liver damage and multi organ failure among other things, symptoms of lungs filling with fluid, kidney poisoning and other organ damage that are known side-effects of Remdesivir/Veklury®.

In short, Remdesivir has been demonstrated to cause more harm than good. (Doctor Reveals Remdesivir is the Real Cause of COVID-19 Maladies).

Moreover studies have been published showing a causal connection between Remdesivir and the death of heart cells, heart attacks, and bradycardia with worsening QT interval.

Remdesivir received Emergency Use Authorization in or around May of 2020, after being recommended by an NIH panel that contained nine individuals with financial ties to its creators and manufacturers, Gilead Sciences and Pfizer.

The adverse drug reactions corelated to Remdesivir administration can be deemed the equivalent of a death sentence for a COVID patient, or a patient with Pneumonia.

For this reason alone, we are prepared to press for civil and/or criminal consequences against anyone complicit in perpetuating misinformation regarding Remdesivir/Veklury®.

As an EUA product it cannot be mandated according to Federal Law and giving it to a patient against their wishes and without full informed consent amounts to human experimentation in violation of the Nuremburg Code (as codified in 45 CFR 46). Doctors who experimented on humans during the Holocaust without their consent were convicted and executed for crimes against humanity.

We are prepared to file a lawsuit with an Emergency Motion for Relief on several fronts. The lawsuit will be addressing such subjects as fraud, conspiracy, failure to treat, deliberate tortious interference, coercion, battery, fraud with malice, conspiracy to commit fraud, deprivation and violation of fundamental Constitutional liberties, attempted murder, and human rights violations, to name a few.

If you fail or refuse to immediately remove the content in question from Doctor Odyssey and your other platforms, we will have no choice but to pursue further action in each case since the pilot first aired. In the discovery phase we will examine your books and communications to determine what relationship ABC, Inc. and its affiliates have with Gilead and Pfizer, and what financial incentives are available to you for favorably mentioning the demonstrably toxic Remdesivir/Veklury®, on your Platforms.

In lieu of going to Court, you may satisfy our Demands as follows:

1. Dub or remove any mention of the drug Remdesivir/Veklury from the Pilot episode of Doctor Odyssey and any and all other episodes of said programming;
2. Disgorge any and all monies received by ABC and its affiliates for the promotion and advertisement of Remdesivir/Veklury;
3. Turn over all Agreements and Contracts regarding advertisement and promotion of Remdesivir/Veklury;
4. Establish a fund for potential Plaintiffs who were injured or killed after consenting to Remdesivir because they heard it was referred to as the “miracle cure” on the Doctor Odyssey TV show or any of its affiliate shows;
5. Establish a litigation fund for victims of Remdesivir/Veklury; and
6. Broadcast an apology on all ABC affiliate stations that aired the Pilot, with an acknowledgement of your undisclosed sponsor(ed) content together with an apology and a Notice to warn viewers against the use of Remdesivir/Veklury.

WE INTEND TO FILE THE EMERGENCY MOTIONS AS DESCRIBED IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE BY THE 31ST DAY OF DECEMBER, 2024.

In October, The Gateway Pundit ran an exclusive article about a military whistleblower who shared his motivation for releasing the explosive “The Remdesivir Papers” report.

Emphasizing that his views don’t reflect those of the Department of Defense or any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, an active-duty service member spoke to The Gateway Pundit using the pseudonym Daniel LeMay for fear of reprisals.

“I’m not the first person to speculate that people were dying of the treatment protocols and then research it only to find that it’s completely supported by factual data,” he said. “Hospitals across the country were being compensated, not just for remdesivir, but for their entire standard of care protocol.”

For LeMay, “the entire ordeal really became an exposé of the truth that if you go far enough past the threshold of reckless disregard for human life, you’ll find actual evil that can’t be written off.” He explained, “Only if someone is absolutely objectified could you dress up known-to-be harmful drugs as essential to recover from a disease.”

He added, “It was very easy to get people to consent when they were sealed in a room by themselves, unable to receive visitors.” And while this occurred, coercion became easier. “They were given the promise that, with remdesivir, they’d be able to leave the hospital sooner,” he explained. “I’m sure most people took it so that they could reunite with the families they’ve been isolated from.” Sadly, many died as result.

“While people were dying,” LeMay said, “Their deaths were being unlawfully labeled COVID deaths when the deaths should have been attributed to the treatment protocol.”

Globalist poster-boy, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is once again in troubled waters, and will have to rely on his considerable political survival skills yet again.

He looks primed to lose power early next year, after a key semi-ally, New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh, said he will bring down the minority Liberal government and trigger an early election.

The NDP has been the life-line keeping Trudeau in office, but now Singh has vowed to present a motion of no-confidence in January.

Reuters reported:

“If all the opposition parties back the motion, Trudeau will be out of office after more than nine years as prime minister and an election will take place.”

All the polls show Liberals getting obliterated by the Conservative Party.

“The New Democrats, who like the Liberals aim to attract the support of center-left voters, complain Trudeau is too beholden to big business.

‘No matter who is leading the Liberal Party, this government’s time is up. We will put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons’, said Singh.”

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre: “We cannot have a chaotic clown show running our government into the ground. What is clear is that Justin Trudeau does not have the confidence of Parliament.”

Trudeau’s office has canceled traditional end-of-year interviews, as the PM will take the Christmas break ‘to ponder his future’.

“So far around 20 Liberal legislators are openly calling for Trudeau to step down but his cabinet has stayed loyal.”

U.S. President-elect Donald J. Trump has vowed to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada.

On Thursday, Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS)  announced the creation of a “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) caucus for the next Congress.

MAHA is expected to work with President Trump’s nominee for Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The caucus will focus on nutrition, access to affordable, nutritious foods, and the root causes of chronic diseases by partnering with key local, state, and federal stakeholders to facilitate MAHA’s initiatives. It will also mobilize support for its priorities and create educational campaigns to spread nutritional awareness.

Marshall will lead the caucus of current members, Senators Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Rick Scott (R-FL), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and Ron Johnson (R-WI).

Marshall, who has been a practicing doctor for over 25 years, announced:

Today, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D., a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, announced the creation of the Congressional Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Caucus. This new caucus will focus on nutrition, access to affordable, high-quality-nutrient-dense foods, improving primary care, and addressing the root causes of chronic diseases.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s nominee for Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Secretary, has endorsed the creation of this new caucus that will work to build a stronger and healthier America. Senator Marshall, a physician who practiced medicine for over 25 years, met with Mr. Kennedy earlier this week to discuss his nomination to lead HHS. Senator Marshall endorsed Mr. Kennedy’s candidacy following the meeting.

“The MAHA caucus is committed to improving health outcomes by prioritizing nutrition, providing access to affordable, nutrient-dense foods, and focusing on primary care availability to tackle the root causes of chronic diseases,” Senator Marshall said. “With our ‘Food is Medicine’ approach, support from RFK Jr., and a shared goal to Make America Healthy Again, we aim to foster transparency, innovation, and a transformative agenda that builds a healthier, stronger nation.”

Additional members of the MAHA Caucus include Senators Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Rick Scott (R-FL), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and Ron Johnson (R-WI).

“Earlier this week, I met with RFK Jr., President Trump’s nominee to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Like I told him, I’ve heard from young people across the country who are inspired by his message to Make America Healthy Again. During our meeting, Bobby and I had a great discussion about ways to make our food and health care system better. As a founding member of the Senate Make America Healthy Again Caucus, I look forward to working with my friend Senator Roger Marshall and our colleagues to make sure our food is safe, bring transparency to vaccines and health care, and Make America Healthy Again,” Senator Tuberville said.

“As the incoming Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, I want to give my full endorsement of the official Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Caucus. From the day we are born, we start aging—and my goal is that every American has the resources and information to live long, happy lives. If you have your health, you have everything and I am looking forward to working with my fellow MAHA members and RFK Jr. to Make America Healthy Again,” Senator Scott said.

“America is sicker than ever, and President Trump has made it a priority to address America’s chronic disease epidemic,” Senator Lummis said. “I am partnering with Dr. Roger Marshall to make America healthy again and hold the federal agencies who have failed the American people accountable.”

“Making America Healthy Again is an effort that has broad support across the political spectrum.  It is a completely nonpartisan issue. It should start by restoring integrity to scientific research and our federal agencies. I am happy to join the MAHA caucus and use our Senate platforms to inform the public and accomplish those goals,” Senator Johnson said.

Congressman Cory Mills (R-FL) spoke to The Gateway after last night’s House vote on a government funding measure, which passed with 196 Democrats and 170 Republicans voting in favor. 

The only dissenting votes came from 34 Republicans, some of whom are Trump allies. Mills, a staunch Trump supporter and ally, was one of those 34 Republicans.

Oddly, Democrats raised the same objections as they did to Wednesday’s failed government funding bill. Purple-haired Democrat Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro gave almost the exact same speech from Thursday in opposition on Friday, claiming that Republicans were trying to shut the government down at the behest of “President Musk.” Still, DeLauro and several other far-left members who expressed opposition to the bill, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, voted in favor.

While many on the right are celebrating this legislation as a win for conservatives and President Trump, maybe we should be asking why almost most of the bill’s votes in favor came from Democrats and the only votes in opposition were from Republicans.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the bill was apparently a last-minute agreement between House Speaker Mike Johnson and Democrat leaders late Friday. Earlier in the day, Republican leaders were advancing a new strategy involving three separate bills. “It was approved said Mills.” However, Johnson ultimately caved to Democrats’ demands in a back-room deal with Hakeem Jeffries for an “all-in-one” bill.

MIKE JOHNSON CAVED AGAIN: Breaks Promise on Split Spending Bills, Excludes Trump’s Demand for a Debt Ceiling Increase in Backroom Deal with Democrats to Avoid Shutdown

Elon Musk expressed confusion in response to Johnson’s deal with the Democrats before the vote, asking, “So is this a Republican bill or a Democrat bill?”

So is this a Republican bill or a Democrat bill? https://t.co/C54cbLGoGR

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 20, 2024

Notably, the debt ceiling was also not increased, something opposed by Republicans and Democrats, but requested by President Trump.

Mills told The Gateway Pundit he’s “not seeing” how the bill helps President Trump’s agenda. Instead, it “gives Joe Biden 30 more days to use that money to fund whatever he wants to include weaponizing it in any way that he wants at the DOJ.”

Watch the full interview below:

Mills: I voted no on the funding bill. I think that what we should be doing is looking at funding the bare necessities for the next 30 days to get President Trump in office and then looking at what he needs to achieve his agenda.

I think that people have to bear in mind that approving additional spending gives Joe Biden 30 more days to use that money to fund whatever he wants to include weaponizing it in any way that he wants at the DOJ.

So, we need to be smart about how we’re doing it, but also, this really hurts our Department of Defense. When you’ve got China who’s advancing in hypersonic ballistic missile capabilities, when you’ve got this axis of evil with China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, us not having new programs of record, which continuing resolutions prevent, means that we fall further and further behind on this advanced technology that we need to be able to defend INDOPACOM, as well as for future operations that may impact America.

So, I think that we’re also at $36 trillion in deficit. It’s the first time in history America is going to spend more in servicing our interest payments than we do our entire national defense spending.

We have to get fiscal sanity here. And here’s the other thing. In the 1/18 Congress, we fought hard to return germaneness to bills and regular order for single-point appropriations.

We’re now doing these cramnibus—these omnibus, minibus, CR, short bus, whatever they’re labeling them now—and we’re going against the very thing that we fought for in the 118 Congress, which is to have single-point appropriation bills that address individual issues. Disaster relief and FEMA, one issue Farmers and agricultural sector, one issue.

Additional continuing funds for our government at a minimal level to keep it thriving, one issue. These are things that shouldn’t be lumped together.

And if it is so easy for us to throw anything into a bill, let’s throw term limits in there. Let’s start making a modification to where we ban stock trading for members of Congress and their spouses.

They’re so quick to put in things like exemptions so that members of Congress don’t have to sign up for Obamacare, but you, the American people, do. But they’re going to call themselves representatives.

They’re going to ask for cost of living adjustments to increase when Congress makes $174,900; that’s more than 90% of Americans make.

And this inflationary spending is costing Americans out of affording the cost of living, out of housing ownership, so if it’s so easy to cram things in there, why don’t we cram things in there that levels the playing field, eliminates conflicts of interest and prioritizes the American people?

Conradson:  Wasn’t that stuff like Obamacare, the pay raise, stuff like what you were just talking about, wasn’t that cut out of this spending bill?

Mills: It was cut out of this spending bill because they wanted to make an additional deal with Hakeem Jeffries, as opposed to working our own conference.

But it still doesn’t address spending issues. It doesn’t address the fact that you’re gonna have this cycle, okay?

You increase debt limits, which then leads to a continue to print more dollars, which leads to inflationary spending, which means everything goes up, which leads to consumer suppression, which means that businesses don’t do as well, which means we do what?

We continue to print new dollars to continue to perpetuate the cycle, and we can’t keep doing that.

We have to think about economic growth, supply chain capabilities, utilizing things like CFIUS as an executive order to block the sale of US Steel, the one that’s being sold to Nippon Japan for $14 billion, our last steel industry in America.

We have to start getting back to prioritizing America, Americans, and American interests.

Conradson: I want to go back to what you were saying about individual bills for each topic. You know, that was something that was discussed today, something that was rumored today that was going to come out, approved, actually, yeah. What happened? Why did it just get lumped in this one big bill?

Mills: Because there was a deal struck with Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats to get them to come on board.

Conradson: So is that Mike Johnson?

Mills: It was weakness in leadership.

Conradson: One of the things I found most interesting here is that mostly Democrats voted for this bill. Why do you think that is?

Mills: Well, again, I mean, Hakeem Jeffries got what he wanted. And I’m sure there’s a lot of backroom deals that was made for different positions on different committees and future bills that’ll be guaranteed to be brought to the floor.

And you know, it’s one of those things where it’s drug deals in DC as usual. That’s not what I’m about. I’m the only member of Congress who donates my salary to a woman, child, or veteran charity in my district or other areas. This isn’t about making money. It is mutually exclusive. You can’t have public service and personal enrichment.

This has to be about the American people. That’s what our Founding Fathers intended it to be. And I can tell you that what we’re doing right here is not about serving the American people. It’s about continuing to have DCs growth, greed, and feeding it with American taxpayer dollars. And that’s not what I’m about. I’m a 10th amendment absolutist.

You want to fix this, abolish the 17th amendment, return things back to the states and individual rights, and because those powers will return to the states, you won’t have a need to have as much. DC bureaus, departments, and agencies, you will reduce the size of government here in DC, which is reducing the size of spending, and now we can start getting fiscal sanity and responsibility.

Conradson: In your opinion, is this spending bill actually going to help President Trump’s agenda?

Mills: I’m not seeing how it does at this moment. I mean, does it give us a little bit of a runway when the President comes in? Sure. But it also gives Joe Biden 30 days of runway as well. I would have funded the bare minimum essentials.

I would have had disaster relief and agriculture as a separate bill in itself. And then, when the president gets elected and inaugurated in, we would then get him the necessary funding that he needs to feed his agenda, not continue to feed what Joe Biden’s had for four years, which has destroyed the nation.

According to Charlie Kirk, the new bill is still a win for conservatives and Pres. Trump.

He wrote:

Big win for Trump in Congress. He first blocked the AWFUL CR.

He now has a clean one, with no Democrat pork or member pay raise, including massive economic and disaster aid for farmers and states affected by the hurricanes. He cut the bill 95% in length down from 1,500 pages.

He eliminated the J6 Committee protection provision and cut out a state department agency associated with censorship. He is already running Congress before he takes office!

Joe Biden may commute the sentences of all 40 federal death row inmates after pressure from more than 130 human and ‘civil rights’ groups.

This is after Biden commuted the sentences of 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others – the biggest single-day act of clemency in history, the AP reported.

Biden also pardoned his son, Hunter, who was convicted of felony gun crimes after he promised he would respect the jury’s verdict.

President Trump has promised to accelerate federal executions so Joe Biden is likely going to commute their sentences in an effort to derail Trump’s plans.

Trump’s DOJ signed off on 13 federal executions during Trump’s first term.

The 40 inmates on death row have been convicted of heinous crimes and gruesome murders.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bomber, Dylann Roof, the man who fatally shot 9 parishioners at a church in South Carolina, and Robert Bowers, the man who carried out a mass shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue, are all currently on death row.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

President Biden is considering commuting the sentences of most, if not all, of the 40 men on the federal government’s death row, people familiar with the matter said, a move that would frustrate President-elect Donald Trump’s ability to resume the rapid pace of executions that marked his first term.

A broad coalition of religious and civil-rights groups has been pressing Biden to take the step, and the effort gained momentum earlier this month after Pope Francis, in his weekly address, prayed for the commutation of America’s condemned inmates. If their death sentences were commuted, the prisoners, all convicted of murder, would serve life without parole. Biden, a devout Catholic, spoke with Francis on Thursday and is scheduled to meet with him at the Vatican next month, the White House said.
