It's that time of year again...

Rand Paul @RandPaul

I wonder how long it would take the clerk to read this…

Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul

I brought along the 1.7 trillion, 4,000+ page Pelosi-Schumer omnibus spending bill that's being fast-tracked through the Senate. This process stinks. It's an abomination. It's a no good rotten way to run government. We're standing up and saying NO.

Round 3 of the bazillion omnibus bill/politician money laundering grift.

Greg Price @greg_price11

🚨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 h/t @RepDanBishop

Rep. Dan Bishop @RepDanBishop

And lest the other fish feel left out of the spending spree, here's $65.7 million for international fisheries commissions. Perhaps President Bush was onto something when he said "I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully."

Rep. Dan Bishop @RepDanBishop

On a more sinister note, here's at least $575 million for "family planning" in areas where population growth "threatens biodiversity." Malthusianism is a disturbing, anti-human ideology that should have ZERO place in any federal program.

Rep. Dan Bishop @RepDanBishop

$65 million for salmon? Seems fishy.

Rep. Dan Bishop @RepDanBishop

The word "salmon" appears 48 times in the bill.

Rep. Dan Bishop @RepDanBishop

And, of course, $1,438,000,000 for membership in global multilateral organizations, including the UN.

Rep. Dan Bishop @RepDanBishop

🐝 $3 million for bee-friendly highways, & another $5 million for the salmon. Talk about a buzzkill.

This is precisely what MUST STOP! All this is is a way to hide a bunch of crap WE HAVE TO PAY FOR n ram it down our throats by holding the Actual cause hostage.

the decline of empire requires visits from the Visigoths and Vandals. I am not sure where they will come from this time, but a rotten orange attracts flies.
