Dems Wanted Pet Projects in the American Family Aid Bill.

Democrats wanted progressive add-ins to the aid bill that have nothing to do with providing aid to American families, the economy, or dealing with Covid-19.

These pet projects included:

– New collective bargaining powers for unions.

– New fuel emission standards for airlines tied to the Green New Deal.

In especially during a time where the U.S. is now facing major economic risks for shutting down much the country and the economy, Democrats pushing for unrelated pet projects just doesn’t provide good optics to voters.

75 Republicans Surrender to Dems Over Obama’s Immigration Action

WASHINGTON DC. Republicans won a majority in the U.S. Senate and kept control of the U.S. House of Representatives gaining 13 new seats from the 2014 Midterm Elections.

After Winning the Election, Republicans Surrender

The first thing Republicans did with their new power is give it back to Democrats. Seventy-five (75) Republicans surrendered to a minority of Democrats, bypassing a voter mandate and a Republican promise to stop Obama’s illegal amnesty.

What the public was told less than TWO months ago was this:

“House Speaker John Boehner (R. – Ohio) vowed today to fight “tooth and nail” against President Obama’s unilateral amnesty…”

— Sources (see full article)

House Republicans passed legislation of a “Clean” DHS bill. The so called “clean DHS” bill removes any Congressional effort to stop Obama’s amnesty. In fact, we argue that Republicans just ENDORSED Obama’s amnesty, making it legal.

According to a report by The Blaze (PDF), here are the 75 Republicans who voted for the “clean DHS bill” effectively supporting ALL of Obama’s illegal amnesty orders.

Whose Slush Fund?

WASHINGTON, DC. Congress just borrowed $2.2 Trillion last Friday. Understandably, a chunk will go to working families, small and larger businesses to retain employees, while there is in effect a near national slowdown; or in some cases a shutdown.

Yet, media have complained that President Trump (who didn’t write the bill) could control a “slush fund” of $500 Billion. The money would be for LOANS, and loan guarantees for impacted businesses.

Democrats speculated that Trump could loan money to his own hotels affected by the shutdown. This would be a conflict of interest, and if true, …. READ MORE…
