The Party of Priority
The new COVID relief package was approved and is now combined with a new $1.4 Trillion omnibus spending package. Have you ever used the word “omnibus” and “relief” in your daily lives? Doubtful. Omnibus just means many different topics. Relief is obvious. There’s only ONE relief needed for the American people and that’s COVID! What in the world is going on that we need to expand government “omnibusly” (not sure that’s a word!) to relieve many other crisis’s .. ugh! My brain hurts already!
So .. Thanks to thehill.com here’s what’s in the new COVID bill (remember, this bill should be solely to support ailing American’s due to COVID, right?):
Exhibit A: “Of the funds appropriated under title III of the Act that are made available for assistance for Pakistan, not less than $15,000,000 shall be made available for democracy programs, and not less than $10,000,000 shall be made available for gender programs.” Wait! President-Elect Harris (according to Joe Biden – YEP! He’s said it several times now — I feel bad for Joe Biden’s food taster … ) advocating for millions to fund foreign gender programs without providing funding for LGBTQ programs in the US??? How dare she!! COVID gender what money?
Exhibit B: Funds for “Resource Study of Springfield Race Riot.” This riot occurred in 1908 during a racially charged era. What the funds would be used for is anyone’s guess. Maybe 1908 COVID vaccination racial distribution research?
Exhibit C: “Statement Of Policy Regarding The Succession Or Reincarnation Of The Dalai Lama.” Hmm…. the bill explains. “Tibetan Buddhism is practiced in many countries including Bhutan, India, Mongolia, Nepal, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, and the United States, yet the Government of the People’s Republic of China has repeatedly insisted on its role in managing the selection of Tibet’s next spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, through actions such as those described in the ‘Measures on the Management of the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas’ in 2007,” It adds, “Interference by the Government of the People’s Republic of China or any other government in the process of recognizing a successor or reincarnation of the 14th Dalai Lama and any future Dalai Lamas would represent a clear abuse of the right to religious freedom of Tibetan Buddhists and the Tibetan people,” the text of the legislation says.
The bill adds that the U.S. government has the right to implement sanctions against Chinese officials who interfere in the succession process. “The Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom should support efforts to protect and promote international religious freedom in China and for programs to protect Tibetan Buddhism in China and elsewhere,” it says.
“Grand-ma!” … “GRAND-MA!” … hang in there! Money for the Dalai Lama is coming – your collapsing lungs will be saved! Trust me!!
Exhibit D: The creation of a commission tasked with educating “consumers about the dangers associated with using or storing portable fuel containers for flammable liquids near an open flame.” WHOA! COVID patients are blowing themselves up ( maybe? ). What lobbying firm is fronting this one – pretty powerful to show up in a pork package next to something so critical as COVID.
Exhibit E: $40 million will be allocated “for the necessary expenses for the operation, maintenance and security” of The Kennedy Center. Okay so this one is not surprising. The Kennedy’s have been irrelevant for a decade or more, but any performing arts center no one ever frequents regardless of a pandemic needs money!! While the performing arts center already received $25 Million in COVID round 1, $40 Million COVID round 2 … what hedges are we trimming for $65 Million.
Exhibits F, G, H, I, J: $86 million for assistance to Cambodia; $130 million to Nepal, $135 million to Burma, $453 million to Ukraine, $700 million to Sudan. These ambassadors need to be investigated – kind of a creepy business to be in when your “country” is included in a COVID bill.
Exhibit K: To create a Women’s History Museum, and an American Latino Museum as part of the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian already gets billions – why during COVID do they get more? THE ARTS MAN! C’mon MAN!
Finally one more piece on the creature called PELOSI! Remember Pelosi on Feb. 24th, “Precautions have been taken by our city. We know that there is concern surrounding tourism, traveling all throughout the world, but we think it’s very safe to be in Chinatown and hope that others will come. It’s lovely here. The food is delicious, the shops are prospering, the parade was great. Walking tours continue. Please come and visit and enjoy Chinatown.”
She then was caught getting that straw nest replenished with saw dust and cow dung amid COVID restrictions, and caught on COVID porn!
In her newest attempt on fun- she’s eliminating several common words of gender from the “parchments”! In H. Res. 5 – Adopting the Rules of the House of Representatives for the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, and for other purposes (which you can find the full rules transcript here), she’s established the policy foundation for Congress 117 to adopt. “Joe, build, back, better starts with ..” :
In clause 8(c)(3) of rule XXIII, strike ‘‘father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, or granddaughter’’ and insert ‘‘parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling, first cousin, sibling’s child, spouse, parent in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, step child, stepsibling, half-sibling, or grandchild’’
So interesting .. Here’s Nancy’s Twitter page…
Can anyone NOT adore our “dark chocolate connoisseur, mother (gender inclusive violation!), grandmother (gender inclusive violation- strike two!).
I DON’T have a hard time laughing at my Democrat hypocrites when their leadership is NOT prioritizing the needs of American’s. Why don’t you question your vote?
