But wait. There’s more. Democrats have added to the wish list they want included in an *emergency* coronavirus relief bill:
13. $35,000,000 for the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts

14. Mandating federal agencies use banks owned by minorities

15. $300,000,000 for “Migration and Refugee Assistance”

16. $602,000,000 for the Internal Revenue Service (?!)
17. Creating a “Coronavirus Accountability and Transparency Committee”

18. $33,200,000 for new facilities for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

19. $36,000,000 for the National Center for Advancing Translational Services
20. $7,000,000 for Gallaudet University

21. $23,000,000 for Howard University

22. $500,000,000 for the Institute of Museum and Library Services

23. $25,000,000 for the House of Representatives

24. $600,000,000 for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Humanities
While American families and businesses suffer, Democrats continue to ask for more and more absurd provisions.

They need to get their priorities straight.

Jack Smith’s legal actions were nothing more than a tool for the Biden and Harris campaigns. This isn’t just unethical, it is very likely illegal campaign activity from a public office. Let’s take a look at just how egregiously Smith used his DOJ role to influence the election:
Special Counsel Smith pushed for an out-of-the-ordinary, rushed trial for President Trump, with jury selection to begin just two weeks before the Iowa caucuses. No other case of this magnitude and complexity would come to trial this quickly.
Special Counsel Smith tried to bypass the normal process and go right to the Supreme Court, but gave no reason why his abnormal request should be granted. The real reason was to get a quick ruling to damage Trump before the election—a partisan, unlawful action.

These Little Gazas are disgusting cesspools of antisemitic hate full of pro-Hamas sympathizers, fanatics, and freaks. Just look at what’s going in these Little Gazas:
These criminals at @Columbia are chanting eliminationist slogans like “from the River to the Sea, ‘Palestine’ will be free” and “globalize the intifada”
@Columbia At @Stanford, they wore Hamas headbands stanforddaily.com/2024/04/30/sta…

I’ve reviewed the bill, I don’t think it will solve our border crisis, and might make it worse. I will oppose it.
 
Joe Biden created this crisis by design. He can and should reverse his open border policies today.

Here are a few of my concerns:
The bill gives Secretary Mayorkas the right—for the first time—to grant asylum claims (and thus American citizenship) to illegal aliens at the border without review by the immigration courts, which will be a massive pathway to rubber-stamping amnesty.
The bill codifies catch-and-release under so-called “alternatives to detention” for any alien who says they *intend* to apply for asylum or another protection.

🚨 Democrats Break Judiciary Committee Rules to Target Private Citizens, Now Will Face Consequences🚨
Dick Durbin and Judiciary Democrats just blew up the rules to issue a partisan subpoena to private citizens. They will face severe consequences. Let me explain what happened.
Democrats have thrown a hissy fit for years that the Supreme Court has a center-right majority, after decades of believing that the Court “belonged” to the Left. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, and Sheldon Whitehouse have led the charge, threatening justices by name and trying to delegitimize the Court.

The Biden administration’s continued appeasement of China is embarrassing. It was no accident the balloon that floated across the U.S. passed over military sites. nytimes.com/2023/02/15/us/…
We now know the first Chinese balloon had tools to collect intelligence, something it was able to do because President Biden refused to shoot in down over Alaska.
Vice President Harris’s latest remarks refusing to acknowledge that China is a threat to America is yet another example of the administration’s lack of seriousness in countering the CCP. politico.com/news/2023/02/1…

Remember when the Biden administration said they weren't funding crack pipes, and the media believed them?
