Rand Paul: ‘I Will Not Consent’ to Stopgap Spending Bill that Includes Aid to Ukraine

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) announced Wednesday he would not pass any short-term spending package to fund the government that includes additional funding for the Ukrainian war effort, just ten days before the federal government is set to shut down if a deal is not reached.

Congressional leaders are working towards a deal to pass a continuing resolution to keep the federal government funded past September 30. However, there’s a debate about whether the continuing resolution will include the additional $24 billion in aid for Ukraine that President Joe Biden is requesting.

Paul wrote an op-ed and spoke about the issue on the Senate floor, declaring the federal government should “not be held hostage for Ukraine funding.”

“Today I’m putting congressional leadership & @POTUS on notice that I will oppose any effort to hold the federal government hostage for Ukraine funding,” Paul wrote online. “I will not consent to expedited passage of any spending measure that provides any more U.S. aid to Ukraine.”

The $113 billion in Ukraine aid sent thus far averages to “$6.8 billion per month—or $223 million per day,” as Paul noted in his op-ed.

He is opposed to taxpayers funding “another endless quagmire, and called attempts to include the aid in the continuing resolution a “clear dereliction of duty.”

Paul wrote:

With no clear end in sight, it looks increasingly likely that Ukraine will be yet another endless quagmire funded by the American taxpayer. That’s why public support for the war is waning. A CNN poll from August shows that a majority of Americans now oppose Congress authorizing additional funding to Ukraine.

The Senate leadership of both parties know this. That’s why they are trying to hold the federal government hostage by inserting the $24 billion aid request in a continuing resolution: to force our hand. Either we fund an endless war in Ukraine or the uniparty will shut down the federal government and make the American people suffer.

This is a clear dereliction of duty, and I will not stand for it. My colleagues: As representatives of the American people, you should not stand for it. The bill that comes before us should be about funding our own government, not anyone else’s. I will do everything in my power to block a bill that includes funding for Ukraine.

Paul also said, “corruption runs deep in Ukraine,” citing news that Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense fired six deputy defense ministers over corruption concerns.

“This comes two weeks after the firing of Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, who was removed after it was discovered that the Ministry of Defense had mishandled military contracts,” Paul noted.

Paul’s announcement came one day before Senators are set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday morning.

Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has urged Congress to provide more aid to Ukraine in recent weeks. Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also supports more funding for Ukraine but did not say whether he would attach it to a continuing resolution to fund the government.

“We’d like to work on a bipartisan basis on the CR with the Republicans. We’ve gotten indications that they want to do that. We’ve done it very successfully on the appropriations process and hopefully we can come together bipartisan here as well,” Schumer said Tuesday.

In the GOP-controlled House, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) also supports increased funding for Ukraine but said he wants it in a standalone bill rather than being attached to a bill that funds the government.

“It’s almost like we are in a civil war between the rich and the poor”: Autoworkers respond to Will Lehman’s Newsweek op-ed

 

“It’s almost like we are in a civil war between the rich and the poor”: Autoworkers respond to Will Lehman’s Newsweek op-ed

Autoworkers have responded with enthusiasm to the editorial written by Will Lehman, titled, “The battle against the automakers is more than a strike, it’s class warfare,” which was published by Newsweek on Monday. In the article, the Pennsylvania Mack Trucks worker who ran as a socialist candidate for president of the United Auto Workers details the historical level of social inequality in America that is fueling the militant struggle by GM, Ford and Stellantis workers. 

Lehman notes that wages have declined dramatically over the last 50 years, with new GM workers making less than half of what an autoworker in 1973 was making. At the same time, GM CEO Mary Barra received a $28.9 million compensation package in 2022. Lehman noted, “It would take a temporary worker making the maximum $20 an hour almost three years to make as much as Barra does in a single day.” 

Biden, Trump and UAW President Shawn Fain, Lehman concludes, “all fear that inequality is driving the working class towards socialist politics—that is, a political perspective based upon workers’ independent class interests.”

The Newsweek editorial has been widely circulated among autoworkers. A temporary worker at GM’s Flint Assembly plant asked, “Why does GM’s CEO need that much money a day or month or a year? What kind of lifestyle is she living? Barra probably has a bed set that costs more than my house. She’s sleeping very comfortably while we have to wake up and budget pennies.

“It makes me feel uncomfortable because they’re still making money while we’re on a so-called strike. My plant is one of the big money plants, and we’re seriously still going into work right now while we’re on strike. What we are doing is just irritating them and not making them take us seriously.” 

A Stellantis MOPAR worker said Lehman “brought out all of the points that need to be highlighted. The fact that one person is getting paid more than what UAW members can’t even make in four lifetimes is very unfair. It’s been driving and dividing this country down, and it is time that things change. I feel we need to fight this corporate greed. It’s almost like we are in a civil war between the rich and the poor.”

A Stellantis worker at the Warren Truck plant in suburban Detroit said, “I’m a TPT and all I would get in this contract is $20 an hour. It’s BS that I’m struggling to raise my three kids on that when the CEOs are making $13,800 every hour. It’s unequal. We have families to feed and we’re hot as hell in the plant because the companies won’t even put air conditioning in there.” 

A worker at the Toledo Jeep Complex, one of only three plants called out on strike by the UAW, said, “I think Will’s talking points are extremely important, and the examples he used were perfect. More importantly, though, he presented it in a manner perfect for a mainstream publication. Speaking of which, Newsweek?! How cool is that? This has the potential to reach millions of readers.

“Will did an excellent job of exposing the parallels between our government and the UAW. Both groups are elected to represent their constituents but only have their own interests at heart. As long as the government and the UAW are beholden to corporations, the war on the working class will continue to rage on.”

Another Jeep worker said, “Great article! I’m happy to see sort of this grassroots movement trying to take hold. It’s obvious that Will has socialist views and that makes some people scared because all they know is the Democrats and Republicans. But I’ve been in the auto industry my whole life and I don’t know anyone who is happy with the UAW. We’ve taken countless concessions and that’s how the companies got their record profits. 

“I understand the inequality. The government says there’s no money to help the elderly or to provide air conditioning in Toledo schools, which had to close because of the heat. But they can spend billions on a proxy war in Ukraine and to put hundreds of tanks on trains to bring them to California to play war games, before shipping them off to Eastern Europe.”

JOE BIDEN'S POLICE STATE - DHS’s New ‘Intel Experts Group’ to Provide ‘Actionable’ Info on Those With ‘Extremist Ideologies’ – Like Catholics?

 

DHS’s New ‘Intel Experts Group’ to Provide ‘Actionable’ Info on Those With ‘Extremist Ideologies’ – Like Catholics?

A new “Homeland Security Intelligence Experts Group” – including signees to the debunked Hunter Biden laptop “Russian disinformation” letter – has been created to provide the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with information it can use to target its envisioned “threat landscape” of Americans.

The new group’s members will cast a wide net, infiltrating even campuses and tribal groups, in search of “actionable intelligence,” DHS Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas said Tuesday, in a press release announcing creation of the new spy network:

“The security of the American people depends on our capacity to collect, generate, and disseminate actionable intelligence to our federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, campus, and private sector partners.”

The group of “experts” will target perceived “violent extremist ideologies” and “domestic violent extremists,” the release notes.

The Biden Administration already considers traditional Catholics – such as those who attend the Latin Mass – to be terrorist threats, based on their ideology, Fox News reported back in February:

Friday’s letter comes after an internal memo produced by the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, Field Office on Jan. 23, 2023, was leaked. That memo, according to the AGs [Attorneys General], "identifies 'radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]’ as potential ‘racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.’"

“The FBI’s Richmond Division would like to protect Virginians from the threat of ‘white supremacy,’ which it believes has found a home within Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass,” Former FBI Special Agent and Whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed in a DC Undercover expose’ – noting that the FBI wanted to recruit people to spy on the Catholic Church:

“An intelligence analyst within the Richmond Field Office of the FBI released in a new finished intelligence product dated January 23, 2023, on Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVE) and their interests in ‘Radical-Traditionalist Catholics’ or RTCs. The document assesses with ‘high confidence’ the FBI can mitigate the threat of Radical-Traditionalist Catholics by recruiting sources within the Catholic Church.”

The memo prompted an investigation by members of the House Judiciary Committee and the subcommittee probing the weaponization of government:

“The internal documents — obtained last month by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., who are also members of the so-called Weaponization Subcommittee — showed the FBI planned to use churches as ‘new avenues for tripwire and source development.’ The federal law enforcement agency also aimed to specifically target "mainline Catholic parishes" as part of its efforts.”

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland feigned outrage in an effort to avoid answering when asked about the FBI memo by Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ). Asked “Do you agree that Traditional Catholics are violent extremists, yes or no?” a hostile Garland repeatedly refused to answer, before finally saying “No.”

While DHS claims the Intel Experts Group will provide “a wide range of views and perspectives,” analysis of its composition suggests otherwise.

“Included in this group of ‘experts’ are three former officials who signed onto the October 2020 letter calling the Hunter Biden laptop ‘Russian disinformation,’” The Post Millennial explains:

“CNN National Security Analyst and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Senior Fellow and of the Intelligence Project and former CIA Operations Officer Paul Kolbe, and Fordham University School of Law Distinguished Fellow and former CIA Director John Brennan were all named to the ‘Experts Group.’”

The members of the spy network “should set off alarm bells,” Townhall Editor Katie Pavlich warned Tuesday:

“Given the weaponization of government by the Biden administration against domestic political opponents, the language being used and the scope of the group's work is highly alarming.”

...

“Clapper lied under oath during congressional testimony about the federal government spying on American citizens. Brennan called Trump a traitor, implying he should be put to death.”

“DHS has 260,000 employees and yet, Mayorkas just appointed liars James Clapper and John Brennan to a new ‘Homeland Security Intelligence Experts Group,’“ Pavich says in a pinned post on social media.

“This is horrifying,” Hot Air’s Karen Townsend wrote Wednesday, echoing Pavich’s concern and outrage about the appointments of Clapper and Brennan:

“Just when we thought these lying liars were out of government service – at any level – and were put out to pasture to be paid contributors on CNN and MSNBC, they come back. Mayorkas has brought them back.”

…

“It’s unbelievable. Both of these have been disgraced for their roles in promoting the Russia, Russia, Russia story made up and paid for by Hillary Clinton and they both signed the letter stating that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian misinformation in 2020 in order to interfere with the presidential election.”

Former Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper says he has no regrets about signing the widely-publicized, discredited statement calling news of Hunter Biden’s scandalous laptop “Russian disinformation”

Even though the false claims in the letter may have misled and influenced voters prior to the 2020 election, Clapper says he stands by his decision to sign it, in a statement he provided to  The New York Post:

“Yes, I stand by the statement made AT THE TIME, and would call attention to its 5th paragraph. I think sounding such a cautionary note AT THE TIME was appropriate.”

AG Garland Feigns Outrage in Effort to Avoid Testifying When Asked if He Thinks ‘Traditional Catholics Are Violent Extremists’

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland snapped at Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) over the congressman’s excoriation of the FBI’s spying on Traditional Catholics before attempting to dodge a question of whether or not he believes those Traditional Catholics are “extremists.”

On Wednesday, Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee concerning oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). When it came time for his questions, Rep. Van Drew grilled Garland for his leadership, or lack thereof, and declared, “I hold you accountable for the anti-Catholic memo. Imagine sending agents undercover into Roman Catholic churches because they were supposedly domestic terrorists.”

Rep. Van Drew then asked Garland, “Do you agree that Traditional Catholics are violent extremists, yes or no?”

In response, Garland snapped back at Rep. Van Drew, saying “the idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous, is so absurd!” Rep. Van Drew dismissed Garland’s ostensible outrage out of hand, retorting:

“Mr. Attorney General, it was your FBI that did this! It was your FBI that was sending — and we have the emails, we have the memos — were sending undercover agents into Catholic Churches!”

In response, Garland claimed that he was “appalled by that memo.” Rep. Van Drew repeated his question, “are they extremists or not, Attorney General?”

After repeated questioning, Garland finally answered: “Catholics are not extremists, no.” When asked by Rep. Van Drew whether anybody had been fired for issuing the memo, Garland responded, “I don’t know the answer to that.”

The memo referenced by Rep. Van Drew, which was revealed in August, illustrates how FBI agents in Richmond, Virginia, as well as in Oregon and California “were sent out to spy on Catholics,” particularly those that favor the Traditional Latin Mass. Ostensibly, these Catholics were targeted for FBI surveillance because of alleged ties to “extremist ideological beliefs.”

Even if Garland is being genuine in his belief that the memo was “appalling,” it evidently was not appalling enough to warrant an apology or any form of disciplinary action against the personnel involved.

Given their classification as threats by the FBI, it seems that Traditional Catholics may continue to be placed in the Biden administration’s crosshairs as potential enemies of the state.

On Tuesday, the DHS announced that it has created  a new “Homeland Security Intelligence Experts Group,” which will collect “actionable” intelligence on those holding “violent extremist ideologies.”
