Do you know that BILLIONS of dollars go missing at the Pentagon every year? I am for a strong military too, but I also think we can deal with defense budget cuts…👍 13 minutes ago, B-Man said: And as a reminder: Pelosi, Democrats eject Marjorie Taylor Greene from House committees. https://nypost.com/2021/02/04/pelosi-democrats-eject-marjorie-taylor-greene-from-house-committees/ As with Harry Reid and the filibuster, why do Democrats think the rules they change won’t apply to them when they’re the party out of power? . Because they base their decisions on emotion instead of logic… they are blinded by their passions of the moment…😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our fighting men and women won’t get the miracle covid vaccine then we will just have to make do with a lesser military. Putin wins.

The US spends about 12x more annually than Russia on military spending and has about 750 overseas military bases. While some wish to believe this deployment and projection of power is an altruistic venture to protect freedom and democracy everywhere its simply how empires have operated throughout history to control the provinces and vassal states. Reality is the US operates as a global empire that provides certain perks and privileges to its citizens, at the expense of other nations and peoples, that we all benefit from it in one way or another, either through cooperation, submission, or force. It's something most Americans are either oblivious to or don't want to accept. Because to accept this truth is to admit their ideals and beliefs are false. Like it or not we're all privileged citizens of the empire that rules the world. Edited January 12, 2023 by All_Pro_Bills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 New rules in the House worry Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries Oh, the horror. Requiring each bill to deal with a single subject instead of being loaded with irrelevant stuff. Proposed legislation should be a reasonable length and understandable. Seems rather uncontroversial, right? Requiring 72 hours to read the bill before a vote. What a concept, learning what is in a bill before they vote. I bet Nancy isn’t a fan! Allowing members of both parties to introduce amendments from the floor instead of having a dictatorial Speaker like Pelosi control things from the top-down. A committee to investigate alleged wrongdoings at the Department of Justice. Isn’t it important to investigate the FBI and other agencies who have clearly spent the last several years interfering in elections and stifling free speech? Seems like transparency and accountability shouldn’t be a lot to ask of our electeds and our bureaucrats. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/01/new_rules_in_the_house_worry_democrat_leader_hakeem_jeffries.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
