"Every year, young men and women of faith across this country bravely choose to join our nation’s fighting forces. They do so believing that they may simultaneously serve their country and their God"

1/
"This [vaccine] mandate, however, sends a strong signal to these young men and women that they must choose between their faith and their desire to protect America because the military will not reasonably accommodate their sincerely held religious beliefs"

2/
"If the mandate stands, it is likely, then, that it will be more difficult for our military to recruit highly qualified individuals of faith to serve our country—a consequence that is wholly unnecessary, damaging to our military’s morale, and damaging to our national security"
3/
"No right is more precious than the right to religious liberty."

Congressman Roy is proud to join with colleagues in the House and Senate on this amicus brief for service members seeking religious exemptions from President Biden's COVID vaccine mandates.

THREAD on the victims of the #BidenBorderCrisis:

Over the weekend, two innocent lives were lost in Mission, TX after a smuggler T-boned the victims’ car.

1/
Yes, we are dealing with the highest levels of southern border encounters on record, but even that data point can’t tell the full story of the destruction going on at our border & our communities.

2/
3/ In April, we already knew that cartels were trafficking human beings through suburban communities far from the border
Since then, this crisis has only gotten worse, and cartels have become even more entrenched

Democrats keep claiming their massive spending bill is “popular” but we aren’t sure they’ve actually READ this 2,000+ page monstrosity.

Let’s take a look under the hood to determine how “popular” this bill actually should be.

🧵 THREAD 🧵 1/x
First, Dems are relying on budget gimmicks when they say this thing costs $1.75 trillion.

@BudgetModel found the true cost will be a whopping $4 TRILLION after Dems make their spending programs permanent

Even the NYT called them out on their BS 👇

nytimes.com/2021/11/04/us/…
Even if you buy that this will be paid for (it won’t) all of the spending is front loaded. It will increase the deficit by $800B over the first 5 yrs before recouping some of the costs later.

This means it will make inflation – which hit a 30 yr high in October – worse.

The American people have been subjected to absolutely INSANE levels of lying, misinformation, and dishonesty from the Biden administration over the past 10 months

Since the corporate media has no real interest in pointing it out, here’s a list:

THREAD 🧵🧵🧵
Let's start with the lie that Biden wouldn't call for a federal vaxx mandate

Then President Elect Biden said in December of 2020 "No - I don't think it should be mandatory. I wouldn't demand it to be mandatory"

We all saw how that turned out

Going back to COVID response, we're also being sold a load of garbage over Biden's vaccine mandate:

To begin, while this mandate makes no consideration for natural immunity, a recent CDC admission points how effective it actually is vs a vaccine:

🚨 Inflation hit its highest rate in OVER 30 YEARS in October 🚨

-Overall prices up 6.2%
-Food prices up 5.3%
-Gas prices up 49.6% (!)
-Electricity prices up 6.5%

THREAD
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and folks can’t even find turkeys, let alone afford them.

-Turkeys were over 60% out of stock at the end of October

-Poultry, meat, fish, and egg prices are up 11.9%

No matter how @WHCOS tries to spin it, inflation is bad for workers.

Real hourly wages decreased .5% in October due to these price spikes… Image

NEW: A 24-year-old Honduran charged with murder crossed the US border illegally while posing as a minor amid the #BidenBorderCrisis

INEXCUSABLE. This is the exact sort of thing Rep. Roy has been fighting against since Biden took office

(THREAD) 🧵🧵🧵

nypost.com/2021/11/04/ill…
The victim was "a father of four who had taken in the immigrant who told authorities he was 17."

“This horrific crime is the latest example of how unfettered illegal migration costs Floridians’ lives,” @GovRonDeSantis office told @nypost

FACT CHECK: TRUE, more below 🔽🔽🔽
"In keeping with President Biden’s border policy on unaccompanied minors crossing the US border, Ulloa wasn’t turned away"

"It is not clear how Ulloa ended up in Florida after being detained in Texas"

Because BIDEN ENDED Trump's Title 42 protocols for unaccompanied minors

The House of Representatives just voted to pass the #NDAA, 316 - 113

134 Republicans voted for it.

While many of them are going to focus on the uncontroversial parts of this “bipartisan” defense bill, there’s plenty in there that isn’t getting enough attention:

THREAD: (1/9)
(2/9)

First, this bill forces young women to register for the draft, which Rep. Roy has been against from the start.

"A vote for this #NDAA is a vote to draft your daughter, your sister, your mother & your wife" Image
(3/9)

Next up on the list, this #NDAA actually targets the Second Amendment rights of America’s military personnel with unconstitutional, gun-grabbing “red flag” laws.

Yes, that means violating the Constitutional rights of those defending the Constitution. Image
