They Don't Pretend Anymore
Sometimes it's so in your face.
Where's the aid for the American people after the CV1984 bioweapons, with their massive maiming and killing, as well as widespread economic destruction?
When are we bringing back the US military from the Middle East to protect the US border?
Helping Americans is Job None.
They're not even pretending that there will be trivial spending cuts (i.e. a tiny bit less debt for future generations) as part of a "compromise".
Israel, and genocide in Gaza, is Job One!
As of 6:11 pm Pacific Time, there are an estimated 336,014,926 people in the US. (It's unclear if they are counting the invasion forces).
$17.6 billion equates to $52.38 for every man, woman, and child in the US.
Even at today's inflated prices, thank you FJB, that would buy a week's worth of decent food, at least two weeks for those who are already skipping meals and wondering where their next meal is coming from.
Most of the civilians in Israel and Gaza want to live out their lives in peace, raise their families, give their children a world better than they found themselves in.
But where's the profit and power in that? Money made from controlling the supply—and thus the price—of oil and gas, suppressing the masses by having that noose around their necks. That's what it's all about.
“The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders . . . All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism."
--Hermann Göring

Speaker Mike Johnson revealed to Republicans on Saturday the House will vote in the coming week on a clean, standalone bill to provide billions in funding aid to Israel — even as the Senate appears set to reveal its own border and foreign aid deal.
The new bill, dubbed the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, would provide $17.6 billion in military assistance for Israel, as well as funding for US forces in the region, according to Calvert’s office.

“During debate in the House and in numerous subsequent statements, Democrats made clear that their primary objection to the original House bill was with its offsets. The Senate will no longer have excuses, however misguided, against swift passage of this critical support for our ally.” [emphasis added]
[With friends like that, who needs enemas?]
