🚨The Omnibus gives a $400M increase to border patrol but prohibits it from being used to "acquire, maintain or extend border security tech and capabilities."

At the same time, $410M goes to securing the borders of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman

DOJ gets an extra $212 million to hire more prosecutors.

FBI gets a $537 million raise, too.

No greater threat to the country and Republican voters than GOP lawmakers In Washington.

Absolutely unconscionable.

All the Democrat Party priorities.  And McConnell is proud of it.

What he didn't say that they had to vote on it to find out what was in it?

It's bad enough that McConnell and Senate Republicans are going along with this $1.7 trillion monstrosity but it's even worse how they're going to take away the new GOP House majority's power to use the budget to force concessions out of Dems on key issues for an entire year.

The woman on the right is my Senator, Joni Ernst. I barely recognized her. Her eyes look dead and her face emotionless. She was a lively, engaging woman when we ran around in Iowa politics.

Someone has got to her.

And you can't just cover it up with paper either.

The fàt lady is definitely ready to sing.  If we survive the next two years, we'll get one last chance.  But, we must be prepared to truly jettison the deep state/globalist/communists from our government.

The hundreds of pages of earmarks aren't even included in the main omnibus bill. You have to view them on a separate website.

McConnell --either you do what he wants you to do in the Senate or he will make your life miserable ...

Read "A Time for Truth" by Ted Cruz -- he gives the reader a taste of what McConnell is like.
