Yet another continuing funding resolution

art credit: quotesgram.com

The Uniparty is poised to strike again. 


[Sen. Mitch] McConnell urges passage of 'bi-partisan' funding resolution. 

With less than 6 days to go before the government runs out of money, Congress will vote this week on a stop gap measure that would fund the government through December.

What is not in the Continuing Resolution [CR] is far more significant than what it contains. Not included are any controversial policy riders. Funding the battle [against] the Zika virus is included, but at reduced levels.
 . . .
The fact that the CR funds the government at levels agreed upon last year is irrelevant. Those levels are unacceptable because they add tens of billions to the deficit. The military is upset because the reduced funding agreed to will hamper operations and readiness. 

About the only people who are truly happy with this CR are the bureaucrats who will once again be able to expand their power through additional funding.

If this is "bi-partisanship," give me gridlock every day.

Amen to that. Read the rest here, including extracts from Sen. Mitch McConnell’s statement.

Patriots to Congress: Vote NO on funding illegal aliens


Art credit: nonsensibleshoes.com


From Tea Party Patriots @ 4pm Tues.

Congress is about to vote on a bill to give Barack Obama nearly $4 billion to care for all the illegal aliens pouring across our southern border.
. . .
This massive spending bill will help Obama resettle these illegal immigrants in America. It will use YOUR tax money to pay for immigration lawyers for these trespassers. It will provide food, clothing, and transportation for thousands and thousands of illegals. This is an insane proposal that undermines American sovereignty and will ruin our economy.
Barack Obama has no intention at all of ever sending these illegal immigrants back home. That's why he's lobbying hard for this $4 billion.
Liberal Republican Lindsey Graham is already campaigning to give Obama this money. He recently declared, "I think we need to go ahead and allocate the resources because this is not a good situation."
This measure will pass unless ordinary Americans fight back - NOW.
Traditionally conservative politicians are terrified of voting against this proposal. They don't want to seem mean by voting against "children."
That's why these petitions are so incredibly important. We have to overcome the liberal media, pro-illegal alien big businesses and the open-borders lobby.
. . .
Obama's plan is to use this giant slush fund to pay for immigration lawyers and to find local "sponsors" for all these illegals.
Many of these people have contagious diseases. Others are gang members. Still others are children whose parents sent them to America because of Obama's "DREAM Act" executive order.
This is a disaster. And giving Obama $4 billion to play with will certainly make it even worse!!
America's taxpayers can't afford to reward this bad behavior a moment longer. The only thing left to give these people is a one-way ticket back to their home countries.
That's what we need to tell Congress: Stand firm. Vote NO on this $4 billion slush fund. And send these illegals home.
. . . Obama truly believes he can run right over the Republicans in Congress. He believes he can shame them into giving him this money.
Ordinary Americans must take a stand against this insanity. NOW.
. . .
We must swamp Congress with petitions!
Thank you in advance for all your help.
