Senate Advances Bill to Give Ukraine $40
Billion in Aid During 40-Year High Inflation

Original Article

Posted By: Muguy, 5/17/2022 6:17:48 AM

The Senate voted to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed on H.R. 7691, the Ukraine Supplemental Aid Package. The motion passed 81-11. This means that the Senate can begin debate on the Ukraine aid package. The legislation would provide over $20 billion in military supplies and roughly $20 billion in humanitarian, economic, and other aid to Ukraine. While Senate Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly voted to advance the legislation, many populist-leaning Republicans such as Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Rand Paul (R-KY) have opposed the legislation.

Comments:

This Breitbart story goes into detail about where the money is to be allocted. How many hands will this be laundered through? Why is it so wrong to ask that the money be spent where it can be accounted for? Note well the globalist RINOs who went with Yertle the Turtle. We have to live within our means-- so should the government.

From their Christmas List: $900 million for the Administration for Children and Families for refugee and entrant assistance---and, $350 million for the State Department’s Migration and Refugee Assistance. Entry and Migration! These two items constitute democrat voter development efforts. The last and smallest on the entire list is this one: $1 million for USAID’s Office of Inspector General. But it goes to just one person....to look the other way and keep his mouth shut.

I don't ever recall the United States bailing out another country's retirement system. Guess we are going to be hip deep in Ukraine whether we want to or not poking a Russian bear. Not the first time for that. Anyone recall Obama trying to overthrow the government of Syria with Republican blessing? We were actually favoring ISIS. Just like how we backed the Taliban in Afghanistan not too long ago. F Joe Biden F The Democrats F The Republican RINOs

We’re shelling out $40 billion that we don’t have in order to aid a sovereign country in their fight against a foreign invasion. Just think how many miles of wall that money could build on our own border against our own foreign invasion.

Who is going to follow all the US money as it filters through foreign entities to keep percentages from being raked off through corruption in a very corrupt part of Eastern Europe? Certainly not the wimpy Republicans! In the short term much of this current expenditure is being earmarked to defend Ukraine’s borders at a time when the Democrats and some RINOS are are OK with dismantling the US-Mexico borderline, does that make any sense? This 40 billion is chickenfeed, compared to after the shooting stops when the time comes to rebuild Ukraine, with the DC UniParty politicians calling for a huge “Marshal Fund” type operation to be set up to rebuild Ukraine, with the USA actually paying 90% or more of the costs. Common sense will tell you that the potential corrupt rake offs from such a fund will be tremendous going to all sorts of foreign and USA entities and people, including US politicians and their family members.

The White House announced late Friday that it would further postpone the release of more documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, pointing to the "significant impact" of the Covid-19 pandemic. President Joe Biden issued a memo that said the national archivist recommended he "'direct two public releases of the information that has ultimately 'been determined to be appropriate for release to the public.'" The first will be an "interim release" later this year, with a second, "more comprehensive release in late 2022," the memo said. The memo said that the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down the process of reviewing whether redactions continue to meet the "statutory standard."

House Republicans on Monday night offered a detailed critique of what they called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “socialist wish list” in House Democrats’ $2.5 trillion proposal for responding to the coronavirus outbreak. “Speaker Pelosi unveiled legislation aimed at exploiting the COVID-19 public health crisis by attempting to force the inclusion of a socialist wish list of policies that have nothing to do with the public health and economic emergency,” said House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Louisiana Republican. After poring over the 1,400-page proposal, Mr. Scalise offered his characterization of Republicans’ objections to the following items:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s new stimulus bill would mandate nationwide “ballot harvesting,” allowing party operatives to return other people’s ballots to polling places without “any limit” on the number of ballots. “Ballot harvesting” was legalized in California in 2016, and first used in the 2018 midterm elections. It allows anyone to drop off someone else’s mail-in ballot at a polling station. There is no process for vetting or verifying those delivering the ballots — no background checks or identification requirements. Democrats dropped hundreds of thousands of ballots off at polling stations in 2018, helping Democrats as they flipped seven Republican seats.

Senate Democrats are trying to use a national emergency to force taxpayers to fund some of their most controversial and radical policies. They have recommended hundreds of millions of dollars in pork barrel funding — including $35 million in funding for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It’s on page 76 of the massive document. Click here to read for yourself. Democrats did not explain how funding a fancy theater would help stop the spread of the coronavirus. But that amount pales in comparison to the $300 million allocated for the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities.

The space agency agreed to pay SpaceX $5 million in May to cover the cost of the review, which includes educating its employees and ensuring they are following strict guidelines for federal contractors barring illegal drug use. The decision which had not previously been reported, struck some space industry insiders as a highly unusual expenditure

The company at the center of a baby formula crisis could face criminal charges, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday, as Democrats considered new government controls over the baby formula industry. “I think there might be a need for indictment,” said Mrs. Pelosi, who has realigned the House agenda to address a baby formula shortage. Democrats are also considering legislation that would give the federal government more control over the supply and distribution of formula, particularly when shortages arise. The plan would require formula companies to report inventory to the Food and Drug Administration, which could then move supplies from one state to another to fill empty shelves.
