Dems snuck unrelated spending into veterans’
bill, then ‘unleashed pseudo-celebrity’
Jon Stewart to trash GOP for opposing it

Original Article

Republican Senator Pat Toomey hotly defended his vote against the burn pits bill on Sunday, calling out “pseudo-celebrities” such as Jon Stewart for attacking him and Democrats for using vets as political pawns. The bill would have ostensibly expanded healthcare benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits during their service. However, Democrats reportedly inserted legislation that had nothing to do with that. When Republicans were not allowed to amend the bill and voted against it, the left then proceeded to insinuate they hate veterans. Stewart targeted Toomey after the vote and excoriated Republicans for standing against the bill.

A friend of mine took to Facebook to trash Sen. Cruz for opposing our veterans in this bill. I suspected that the bill probably had all sorts of hidden "burn pits" implanted by Democrats, and that they were snuck in just prior to the vote under fixed Senate rules. However, it would have been nice for Sen. Toomey or the author of this piece to show some examples of the non-related spending snuck into the bill. You know something I'd like to see when the Democrats lose power and the Republicans take over. A "truth in legislation" act or something like that. One of the key parts of the law would be * No bill can be adopted unless the final version of the bill is available for public inspection for at least 7-10 business days before the House/Senate can vote on the bill. If amendments are passed during that period, the 7-10 day clock gets reset. * If there is a pressing reason for such a law to be passed, an emergency provision could allow the passage of the law, but only allowing the law to take effect for no more than 90 days. Unless the Congress passes an identical bill with the 7-10 day provision, the "emergency law" is null and void after 90 days.

Jon (sic) left the Daily Show with a questionably golden reputation. But he couldn't let it go, had to seek the spotlight once again. He now has an unnoticed pod cast, acting out as a complete tool regularly. He's a nasty, pathetic little man and it's wonderful watching him self-immolate.

That historically is the democrat trick for getting their corrupt legislation passed, sticking it into something they think republicans won't vote no on. When republicans do vote no, the dems immediately run to the media and lie through their teeth. This yet again is on democrats for putting another in their long line of poison pills into legislation that really needs to be passed on its own merits.

You can't sneak anything into a bill if someone actually reads the bill. Apparently, everyone in D.C. is in such a hurry to get out of town for vacation, that trash amendments can be added without anyone knowing what's going on.

I'm shocked...SHOCKED! Hey, this is how the game is played. And then come the campaign ads, complete with small print references to the bill number, with perfectly scornful voiceover, telling how Candidate X "opposed spending on our veterans". And the boobwazie gets all wound up...Candidate X screwing veterans like that! She's off my list. And if it's not veterans it's poor children and their single mothers (generally starving), first responders (being defunded, and no respect), "working Americans" (living paycheck to paycheck), and the elderly (fixed income squeeze), among the list of sympathetic victims of heartless office holders and candidates.

On the day that the Biden administration completed the disastrous U.S. pullout from Afghanistan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that the Taliban had pledged to bar terrorist groups from using the war torn nation as a base. Now he admits that they lied. Following the announcement Monday that the U.S. had killed al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike in Kabul, Blinken confessed that the Taliban “grossly violated the Doha Agreement and repeated assurances to the world that they would not allow Afghan territory to be used by terrorists to threaten the security of other countries.” It was an about-face from just under a year ago, when on August 30, 2021,

The primary cycle bursts back into life on Tuesday night, with several tantalizing races in store in Arizona, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, and Washington. Former President Donald Trump’s name won’t be on any primary ballot, but his presence hangs over the nation’s political scene. Three House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over his actions (and inactions) on Jan. 6 face primary challengers backed by the ex-president: Rep. Peter Meijer (MI) and a pair of Washington House members, Reps. Jaime Herrera-Beutler and Dan Newhouse.

The White House revealed on Tuesday morning that it does not have DNA proof that Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a drone strike in Kabul on Sunday. Instead, spokesman John Kirby said officials used multiple sources and pieces of evidence to establish that Osama Bin Laden's successor was dead. It comes as officials are under pressure to release more details about the strike, including where the U.S. drones flew from and any foreign assistance they had in taking out one of the world's most wanted men.

Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) campaign has found support among the famous, wealthy, and well-connected uniparty in the weeks leading to the August 16 primary against Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman. It seems the more likely it is that Cheney will lose on August 16, the more her campaign finds itself buoyed by the establishment. According to the polls, Cheney is at least 30 points behind Hageman among Wyoming voters. But by the show of support among the political elites, one may believe Cheney is leading by 30 points. The political elites are likely coming to the aid of Cheney because Cheney’s chances of winning the GOP primary

The United States killed Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahri in a drone strike over the weekend, three people briefed on the operation told POLITICO. The strike was conducted by the CIA, according to two of the people, with one saying it took place in Kabul. Al-Zawahri was an Egyptian who took over Al-Qaeda after the U.S. killed its longtime leader, Osama bin Laden, in 2011. He never achieved the household name status of his predecessor, but Al-Zawahri’s killing is nonetheless a major win for the United States in the ongoing struggle against Islamist terrorism, especially as the United Nations warns that the terrorist group is outpacing its peers
