WOKE DIPLOMACY ALERT: We took a look at Congress’ proposed 2023 budget for the (deep) State Dept.
Here are some of the terrible items included in the bill: #ampFW
$250M to prevent and respond to gender-based violence around the world.
Biden can’t even keep America’s communities safe, what makes these bureaucrats think that they can prevent, let alone respond, to gender-based violence. #ampFW
$200 million for the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund #ampFW
$50 million more to promote gender equality #ampFW
$4.5 billion to the USAID for Global Health Programs #ampFW
$310 million for the National Endowment for Democracy? Are we sure this isn’t a front for the CIA? #RealTalk#ampFW
$22 million for the Asia Foundation and $54 million for the Institute of Peace (they do have a nice taxpayer funded building in DC).
Why don’t we do $76 million in tax cuts instead for Americans getting crushed by Biden’s inflation and Congress’ wasteful spending? #ampFW
🤔 $852 million for media grants in the middle east. Almost one billion for government sponsored news. #ampFW
$1.7 billion for international "peacekeeping" missions?.. #ampFW
$1.6 billion for international organizations like the UN. #ampFW

🧵Today, SCOTUS issued its decision in Biden v. TX. The issue was whether the Biden Admin legally canceled the Trump Admin’s Migrant Protection Protocols (remain in Mexico).
#ampFW: In this 5-4 vote, Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh joined the liberals.
In 2018, w/ a surge on our Southern Border, President Trump’s DHS promulgated MPP to prevent illegal aliens w/ meritless asylum claims from being released into the US.
Instead, if they arrived via Mexico, they had to return pending further proceedings.
🧵Today, SCOTUS issued its decision in WV v. EPA, a major admin law case that considered EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act.
In a 6-3 vote, the Court held that under the Major Questions Doctrine, the Obama Admin’s Clean Power Plan was illegal. #ampFWampfw.org/3ytcyHJ
#ampFW: In 2015, the Obama Admin EPA issued the Clean Power Plan.
Under it, the EPA determined the best system to reduce carbon emissions was generation shifting-effectively replacing coal-fired power plants with plants fueled by natural gas & replacing all fossil fuel-based..
electricity with electricity generated from zero-emitting renewable-energy sources.
The plan would have increased electricity costs by $214B and cost $64B to replace shuttered capacity. The EPA predicted that its rule would cost billions and eliminate thousands of jobs. #ampFW
NDAA THREAD: We took a quick look at the defense authorization bill for 2023. Before we know it, U.S. taxpayers will be funding a $1 trillion defense budget and "woke" generals will still come to Congress asking for 3%-5% annual budget growth. @HouseGOP@HASCRepublicans#ampFW
⚠️ NDAA ALERT: You can now get a dishonorable discharge for not wanting to take the COVID-19 vaccine. #ampFW
⚠️ NDAA spends billions in Europe “to maintain credibility of the sacred obligation under Article 5 … to defend every inch of NATO territory.” #NATO#ampFW
👏 A Bill to Prohibit a COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for our Armed Forces H.R. 3860!
Introduced by @RepThomasMassie (R-Ky.), this legislation protects the freedom of our service members to make their own medical decisions without fear of repercussions. #ampFWampfw.org/3OyDmvR
