Springing Forward (recission budget bill?)

What seemed as though it was going to be a dull news week – punctuated by sometimes fanciful articles from "sources" about what Special Counsel Mueller was up to – ended with a plethora of important news late Friday.  To spare you having to wade through the mounds of drivel to get to it, I'm highlighting what I think is the important stuff, so you can enjoy this spring weekend.

The Budget

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, unhampered because of the filibuster rule, which allows them to block any budget not supported by a Senate supermajority of 60, and aware of the desperate need of our military for funding, publicly rejoiced that they were able to force through Congress a ridiculously extravagant budget.  Fiscal conservatives were furious, but the president had little choice but to sign the bill into law.  "He who laughs last laughs best" is the saying, and in this case, there may be no joy in Demville.  James Freedman at the Wall Street Journal explains:

As usual, Clarice does a good job of sorting things out for us.

Agree.

In addition to the budget, Feldman goes on to update what's going on with Illegal Immigration, the FBI/DOJ Standoff, and the Clinton International "Charity" Network.

Worth the time to read in full.

This recission thingy is a BFD. If it gains steam then the excesses (okay, excesses of excesses) of the passed bill could be undone. It won't gain steam if it's not publicized.

Agreed!  That's why I made it famous on FB.

Yes. But Clarice is quoting Friday's WSJ and this is the first I've seen of it on any conservative site.
