Biden Administration Refuses to Say if It Is Withholding Aid from Israel

Kristina Wong 6 May 2024

The Biden administration is refusing to comment on if it is withholding aid from Israel after a Sunday report said that it was.

Axios reported Sunday that two Israeli officials said the Biden administration put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel.

On Monday, the White House would neither confirm nor deny it.

A reporter asked National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby during a White House briefing if the report was true.

Kirby responded, “I’m not gonna confirm that reporting.”

Irreconcilable Differences: Johnson on Brink of Permanent Power Sharing Agreement with Democrats as MTG, Massie Meeting Fails to Produce Accord with Republicans

Bradley Jaye 6 May 2024

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) failed to concede to Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) after a two-hour meeting Monday in which the duo continued pressing for Johnson to resign and end his coalition government with Democrats.

Greene told reporters after the meeting that she and Massie “had a very long discussion with Speaker Johnson. We’ll be meeting with him again tomorrow based on the discussion and then I’ll have more information.”

The two conservative lawmakers have insisted that Johnson is compromised and will not be Speaker next Congress. They called for him to step down so Republicans can begin moving forward, arguing Johnson’s unofficial lame duck status will hurt Republicans as they fundraise and campaign for November’s elections.

“I have been patient, I have been diligent. I have been steady. And I’ve been focused on the facts,” Greene said. “And none of that has changed.”

The meeting came one day after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) bragged on CBS about controlling the House floor agenda — a characterization many conservatives agree with.

“Even though we’re in the minority, we effectively have been governing as if we were in the majority because we continue to provide a majority of the votes necessary to get things done,” he said. “Those are just the facts.”

The main reason we subsidize US ag is to keep prices stable for the consumer. (Besides inflation) if one year there was a bumper crop of corn, price of corn would drop and the next year less farmers would plant corn leading to a shortage in the third year. One year, a corn food product would sell for a $1.00 next year 25 cents and third year $5

It also helps farmers who suffer a bad crop year or two.

The thing you blithely dismiss is the culprit: INFLATION (all caps)
When your sugar daddy government needs to hand out money, they just print sommore.

A days wage through modern history has been roughly equal to one Roman Denarius of silver... Which is roughly equal to one US silver dime. That is what inflation has bought you. The value of your money will soon go the way of Venezuela. Largely, almost entirely due to fiat currency spent by government.

Now now, let's think about this one for a moment.  What if we subsidize the firearms industry.  Everyone in America should be able to have an AR-15 at low cost.  So the government should pay out huge subsidies to make that happen.  Other countries do it, right?  We should take the lead from China and France.

HELL NO. The government is not your sugar daddy. You want an AR-15, get a job.

And now you realize the pitfalls of making it up as you go.  It announces to everyone what a complete fool you are.

  Care to try again?

If  hydrogen was viable car companies would be pushing for it. They are not.  It is as simple as that.
