REVEALED: Biden tucked $500million bid to build more electric vehicles into the Ukraine aid bill by giving more funds to look for critical battery minerals

    Both Biden and Ukrainian leaders had said that the $40 billion emergency aid package was essential for Ukraine's war against Russia
    Tucked into that package was half a billion dollars to be allocated under the Defense Production Act to companies obtaining critical battery minerals
    That's in addition to the $750 million DOD was authorized to dole out to mining companies when Biden first invoked DPA for critical minerals
    Those funds also build on the $7 billion in federal funding from the bipartisan infrastructure bill last year

President Biden has tucked another $500 million to fund production of the minerals used to make batteries for electric cars into the Ukraine aid bill passed by Congress.

Both Biden and Ukrainian leaders had said that the $40 billion emergency aid package was essential for Ukraine's war against Russia. But tucked into that package was not only military aid but half a billion dollars to be allocated under the Defense Production Act to companies obtaining critical battery minerals like nickel, cobalt, lithium and graphite, Bloomberg first noted.

That's in addition to the $750 million the Defense Department (DOD) was authorized to dole out to mining companies in March when Biden first invoked the Defense Production Act for critical minerals.

I call this a subversive act to state the purposes in bill ($40 billion Ukraine aid bill) then add unrelated items to it

Thomas Jefferson was shrewd enough to understand this possibility, and lobbied for refraining any law approved by Congress to take effect until after a year has passed.

Great foresight.

How clever Biden is when he seeks to pull covert stuff, and advance his WOKE agenda, but to be held accountable, somehoiw is so debilitated he should be in a asylum for the mentally capacitated.  Yer Joe always manages to mine great amounts of money on what ever Joe can manipulate in advancing WOKE agendas.  There has to be morons and village idiots in the midst of all this idiocy.  Evil too!

Can we please stop calling it the "Ukraine aid bill" since none of the money is going to aid Ukraine?  The State Department alone is getting over $8 billion.

Unfortunately, some think this money is being delivered to Ukraine. From the start, "Ukraine Aid" under this administration is being treated like Clinton Foundation funds for Haiti.

Where is the accounting for where this money is going, because I'd bet Ukraine is lucky to get any.

One of these days we will find out Warren Buffet paid some heavy money to the democrat party, to force the nation to Buffets Electrical bondage knees. Hitlery referred to Warren buffet as that kindly old grandfatherly old man,best i can recall from memory.
Since when has a President taken the power to shut down multiple industries to favor one industry they are cozy with like the electrical industry, openly hostile to all competing alternatives except solar.  We have already seen what forcing the issue in Texas in the winter did.  Wildly climbing crisis prices, and real dangers of people dying, and massive disruptions in society down there.  That's what they are setting up for the entire nation, social collapse and then martial law.  SEE IT COMING, ITS THE PLAN-CHANGE.  Change they want and need before the coming election.
