It’s time to walk out from behind your human shields, Speaker Johnson and all who would vote for this CR, and take the incoming fire you deserve. The People have spoken: NO CR.

Over the top rhetoric? The People don’t think so.
Making the victims of Hurricane Helene the shield for passing a 1500+ page, $110 billion money laundering scheme that Speaker Johnson is calling a Continuing Resolution is unconscionable.
Loading the lie into the media shotgun again that the government (other than a fraction of nonessential “services”) will be shutdown for a brief period, attempting to induce a panic that will give irresponsible, backstabbing House members cover, will not work.
Speaker Johnson hasn’t gotten the message from the true majority of Americans that will not stand for unending spending, and the empowerment of feckless administrative agencies that shuffle the cash into illicit pockets.
America has just witnessed, over the last two years, exactly how funds allotted to FEMA went nowhere near the victims of demonic forces of nature and human agency from East Palestine to Maui to West North Carolina. Yet, every vote to pass more and more money, claiming it to be for humanitarian aid to our own people, nary a real dollar has shown up at any of the disaster sites.
Hamas uses hospitals, schools and innocents as cover for their vile acts of diverting money to their terror machine. Congress is using homeless families in North Carolina and hurting farmers as cover to allocate hundreds of billions of dollars that are sifted through FEMA and other agencies to fund foreign affairs, obscure health benefits, and illegal immigrant housing and care.
Buried in this travesty of a bill is a raise for Congress, and funding for pre-pandemic funding through another unaccountable administrative body. None of this is necessary especially when the cash set for disaster victims will never get to them. It’s been proven that the money is consistently directed elsewhere.
If Congress is in such a rush to get home for the holidays, government offices should just close for the Christmas season without another penny being allocated to continue their dismal performance. Most are not needed now, or possibly to ever open again.
This CR isn’t even what it was advertised because it doesn’t just continue with the same-old, same-old, but adds billions to the festering financial wound that will reach $40 Trillion in debt. The gangrene has set in, and hiding behind the suffering families in North Carolina who are being best served by everyday Americans giving from their heart and making the trek to individual tents on the mountain slopes, will require amputation. FEMA being one of the first appendages that should go.
Proverbs 18:23 says it all when it comes to Congress lording it over the very constituents who elected them and are slapped down for their efforts:
The poor man uses entreaties, But the rich answers roughly. (NKJV)
The poor are those suffering under the heavy hand of government grift, and the rich are those seated on their high horse in the hallowed halls of Congress stealing from the electorate.
It’s time to walk out from behind your human shields, Speaker Johnson and all who would vote for this CR, and take the incoming fire you deserve. The People have spoken: NO CR.
