Some Republicans in the House would have you think that their only choice is the bloated, unsustainable spending bill that caters to Democrats. That is totally untrue, as an FBI whistleblower pointed out.
The Senate swiftly followed the House’s lead and approved a “sweeping” $1.2 trillion spending plan for 2024. Although 112 Republicans were morally correct in their opposition, the GOP-controlled House still squandered its control over the budget. Spending by the federal government just cannot continue indefinitely. The government lacks the necessary funds, and the fact that much of it violates the constitution should worry us more than it really does. In spite of the fact that taxpayers are having a hard time making ends meet, the United States government keeps piling on debt that we will never be able to repay. Supporters of the present proposal among Republicans exhibit “transparent cowardice,” according to Steve Friend.
In the wake of the FBI’s fraudulent investigations of Trump supporters that began on January 6, Friend came out to blow the whistle. He now presents a Patriot.TV show (“True Blue”) and a podcast. In addition, Friend criticized Republican Ohio Representative Max Miller for using misleading language in a video he uploaded to Twitter/X in which Miller tries to defend his vote in favor of the spending deal.
“I voted to pass today’s financing package,” Miller asserted. “Compared to the other option—six more months of spending by Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer—it was an improvement, albeit far from ideal.” Friend pointed out that the truth is that Congress could have forced budget legislation that doesn’t betray Americans by enduring a partial government shutdown, which doesn’t really shut down the entire government.
There was an ‘option’ that involved defunding the armed FBI and halting the border invasion. In Friend’s essay, he explained that this is why the Republicans now control the House. However, a large number of Republican congressmen think that the federal government’s mistreatment of Americans is better than a short-term partial closure. Shameless lack of courage.
The "alternative" was stopping the border invasion and defunding the weaponized @FBI. That's why the GOP was given a House majority.
But too many GOP congressman believe federal abuse of Americans is PREFERABLE to a temporary, partial government shutdown. Transparent cowardice. https://t.co/oglucmmue5

The package should not have received any votes from Republicans due to its inclusion of abortion financing, the FBI’s weaponization, LGBTQ groups (including one that distributes harmful chest binders to children without parental consent), and the absence of curbs on the ever-increasing number of illegal immigration crossings. The fact that the majority of Democrats in the House apparently supported the plan is not surprising. “The swamp is back,” said Republican Representative Chip Roy of Texas.
Just paying the interest on our national debt now costs American taxpayers $1 trillion annually, as I mentioned yesterday. Not adding the several other government programs and agencies, that amounts to about 40% of Americans’ personal income taxes going toward debt payment alone. The situation is becoming worse, not better, thanks to the latest spending plan that the House approved.
Absolutely, my friend is correct. The Republican senators and representatives who voted for this awful spending measure did so out of cowardice, and the American people will regrettably bear the consequences.
