It was an emotional moment for members of Congress. In a patriotic display of heartfelt bipartisanship, public servants from both political parties furiously and joyously waved flags after GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson needed Democratic members to pass a massive investment of $61 billion into the country.
Sadly for families here at home, these Congressmen and Congresswomen weren’t waving American flags. Even worse, not one dime of the $61 billion that we provided the federal government in the form of taxes is staying here on our own soil.
These clowns disguised as representatives of American interests were waving blue and yellow Ukrainian flags, after the House approved a foreign spending package that included $61 billion for Ukraine to beat back Russian aggression.
So much for the Grand Old Party being the standard bearers of an “America First” agenda.
This slap in the face to every hard working American would not have happened if it weren’t for Republican Speaker Johson begging Democrats to vote for the measure. Sure enough, every single Democrat on the House floor voted in favor of sending $61 billion to Ukraine.
Folks, charity begins at home. Our once great nation is a disaster of a train wreck under the failed leadership of President Joseph Biden, who on his best days can remember his own name only with the use of note cards reminding him of who he is.
The national debt is almost $35 trillion and rising. When Texan Ross Perot sounded the alarm on an unsustainable national debt in 1992, it was “only” $4 trillion. Now the independent Congressional Budget Office predicts the national debt could climb as high as $54 trillion in the next ten years.
The southern border is an even bigger mess. Border patrol desperately needs resources to add more officers to close a wide open border where criminals, drugs, and illegal aliens cross with zero consequences.
President Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas roll out the red carpet for illegals, giving them a phone, cash, and health care that we all pay for. Shockingly in New York City, migrants are given more money and benefits than veterans that defended the freedoms represented by the American flag that members of Congress refused to wave,
Record high inflation is decimating families in every corner of the country. It is a massive struggle for many to make ends meet and keep up with rising prices for essentials like groceries, gasoline, and rent.
On President Biden’s watch America is a raging dumpster fire. Instead of providing our hurting country with relief, House Republicans and all Democrats let it burn, while sending life saving money overseas.
The next time your family can barely afford to make the interest payment on your growing credit card debt, the next time you go without a meal, the next time you wonder whether or not you’ll be able to make your mortgage payment on time, think about those flag waving traitors who laughed it up and smiled while sending $61 billion to secure another nation’s border.
You could even ask them for money to secure our own border, reduce the debt, support our veterans, or better yet, help you make ends meet.
It makes my skin crawl that these “Republican in Name Only” RINO’s joined all Democrats to screw over America the way they did, all the while rubbing our noses in it on the House floor.
Instead of condescendingly shouting “Let Them Eat Cake,” these tone deaf politicians would gladly hand you a Ukrainian flag to wave, as you wave goodbye to even billions more of our tax dollars being wasted on foreign wars instead of being wisely invested here at home.
So much for “America First.” President Biden, Speaker Johnson, and the Democrats showed their true blue and yellow colors that represent “America Last.”
