Speaker Mike Johnson’s bill to separate Israel funding from Ukraine and offset the 14.3 billion in Israel aid with cuts to the IRS budget is not going to move in the Democrat-controlled Senate, The Hill reports.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Ben Cardin, a Democrat, declared the proposal to cut IRS funding to pay for aid to Israel is “a non-starter. It’s a poison pill.”
THE UNIPARTY SPEAKS
Senator Roger Wicker, one of McConnell’s followers, wants the two alleged national security priorities of Ukraine and Israel tied together.
“I’m open to suggestions, but I think it’s important that we do border, Ukraine, Israel and give Taiwan what they need.”
Meanwhile, our border is wide open, and they know the border security written into the bill is a joke. The border security facilitates mass release and resettlement.
That’s exactly what the new speaker doesn’t want.
Senator Murkowski said, “Realistically speaking, it’s going to be challenging. We all know how hard it is to find offsets of substance. This is real money we’re talking about. If you’re looking at trying to offset the entire package, I think that’s going to be a real challenge for that. We’re operating with a pretty tight timeline frame in order to move something.”
She’s worried they won’t be able to get the money for Ukraine if it’s separated.
RINO McConnell urged Senate GOP colleagues at a lunch meeting last week to keep the Israel and Ukraine money together. There was pushback from senators Vance, Lee, Scott, and Johnson.
McConnell conflated Israel and Ukraine.
“Right now, loud voices on both sides of the aisle are suggesting that American leadership isn’t worth the cost. Some say our support for Ukraine comes at the expense of more important priorities, but as I’ve said every time I’ve got the chance, it’s a false choice,” he said. “America is a global superpower with global interests, and enemies of democracy around the world like nothing more than to outlast our resolve to resist Russian aggression.”
He warned that a Russian victory in Ukraine would imperil the security and economy of all of Europe, the United States’s largest trading partner and strategic ally.
Schumer added his comments, which included the need to give $100 million to [the Hamas terrorists in] Gaza. There is no way to give the money to Gaza and keep the Hamas government from getting it.
“The way forward is exceptionally clear. We must pass the president’s supplemental request, which has funding for Israel, Ukraine, and the South Pacific while providing critical humanitarian aid for Gaza,” he said. “America does not have the luxury of burying our heads in the sand or leaving our friends to fend for themselves.”
OPINION
McConnell and Schumer, the Senate leaders, are complete frauds. While the border is open, and we’re spending the country into bankruptcy, they can’t say anything believable about “American leadership.”
We’re looking for war in all these places, and the aid they want to give Taiwan will start more trouble with China. Ukraine is a corrupt autocracy, not a democracy, and we are supporting them. As for the border, Biden has a clause to increase immigration, speed it up, and make it easier. That’s the poison pill.
Our national debt is $33.685 trillion, and we’re running a $2 trillion deficit.
I suspect the “take the money from the IRS” was the “high price tag” laid out for intended negotiation. We’ll see if Johnson has the spine he needs to just say no to lumping it all together, though. I would like to see a bit “no, no, no” until money is delayed to Israel and no money goes to Ukraine or Gaza at all.
America is done with that stupid Ukrainian war where if they had to choose between thugs, many Americans are on Russia’s side. I’d rather see Russia win than Ukraine myself, because Ukraine and the US provoked Russia into this war and because I believe Zelensky and Biden are money laundering.
Cut off ALL money to all foreign nations including anything for the UN. Denounce and kick them out of the US for good. Take the leash off Israel and Japan and let them do what they will.
Why can’t we SELL it to the Europeans and THEY can gift it to Ukraine?
When the head of the IRS states that the agency is going to audit those who make $400,000 and below, You WANT the $14 billion to Israel to come out of the IRS!
The kick backs, uh I mean campaign donations must flow. Who are these unwashed that want us to vote on separate bills to give primary challengers the ammunition to drag our self-interest into the light for all to scrutinize, Now get back to earning us revenue to blow on our selves!!
There is no better argument for term limits than to look at the Senate!
Repeal the NON Ratified 17th Amendment! All Senators are fired immediately!
YES!!!!!
Let’s see if I can help. 1 billion from each and every security and intelligence agency would more than likely be more than enough.
The whole senate pretty much belong to the Uniparty except a few too few to make a difference .These s.o.b s are going to ram it up our ass again .What a great thing it would be if both the Turtle and Cryin Chuck would both be struck mute .
It is crystal clear that corrupt DC, including the leftists and RINOs, want to use the disaster in Israel to fund their NWO adventure in Ukraine.
But also, they are trying to use this situation to fund the facilitation of the invasion of the USA at the southern border. Mitch is again attempting to insert language for that, calling it border security, but it really is invasion facilitation. These people are enemies of our USA.
I do not see some of the common commentators on this site, who strongly support Israel, writing here to support Johnson’s bill. I’d like to know which bill they support. To not support Johnson’s bill, which could easily be passed this week, is very indicative.
Cut funding for the IRS. Period!
Cut funding for the DOJ.
Abolish the IRS.
Good. Then no more funding for Israel or Ukraine. #MAGA!
Israel yes and Ukraine no. Period.
It will be hard for corrupt DC to win the PR battle against the clean bill for Israel. They have no case. Mitch is reciting some talking point he was given, on linkage.
McConnell needs to consider that his days are numbered and that soon, very soon, he will have to give account to the Judge of all mankind. There is absolutely no indication that he is in any way prepared for this but he is not going to bluff his way out of this situation.
Disgusting. Stop sending money to foreign entanglements.
Get out of other people’s business.
The American People do not support ANY of this.
McConnell and the rest of the RINO senate has to go now. There is no rational explanation as to why we keep funneling money to Ukraine. They espouse platitudes and jibberish to the American people. It’s insulting and they don’t care. Time to go.
“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world.”

FAREWELL ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1796
Ukraine is our government’s conduit for funds, and weapons, to Hamas and other terrorist organizations. At least, as much as can make it past the Nazi thieves in Ukraine.
Not one nickel for Gaza.
National holiday when the dirt-nap collects these two!
Maybe the politicians could give the money for Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine from their super pacs and leave taxpayers alone. Giving away other peoples money doesn’t make you a philanthropist.
If they aren’t willing to give up their senate salaries (ie: put their money where their mouth is) then … negotiation over.
“McConnell Working to Add $61.4 Billion to American Taxpayers’ Bill in Aid to Ukraine”https://mrctv.org/blog/nick-kangadis/mcconnell-working-add-614-bil-american-taxpayers-bill-aid-ukraine
McConnell: “America is a global superpower with global interests, and enemies of democracy around the world like nothing more than to outlast our resolve to resist Russian aggression.”
Does America still match McConnell’s outdated description? Democrats and Deep Staters are well on the way to turning our country into an unrecognizable socialist tyranny that other countries laugh at.
China Mitch is reciting talking points which his aides and the lobbyists who fund him wrote up. He is stupid, corrupt, and America Last.
“a Russian victory in Ukraine would imperil the security and economy of all of Europe, the United States’s largest trading partner”
So why doesn’t Europe step up and fight as if their existence depends on it?
The economies of both the US and EU are doomed by ihe imminent collapse of the Dollar and the fiat monetary system.
All spending bills MUST originate in The House that is in the Constitution.
Therefore they need to just keep sending SINGLE issue bills to the Senate and it will be on them (and the WH) whether to pass or let operations be suspended.
They should send the bill and just keep sending it.
No more money for Ukraine nor the zdemocrat illegal voter program.
Money to Hamas? What about money to us Americans to help us survive?
S3ndnthe same bill again.
NO!! One issue at a time!
PERIOD!!
Maybe the Senate should look into the theft of our tax-payer money before they have a vote !!!!!!……..GWP has this….People at the highest levels of Ukraine’s government are lining their pockets with cash as U.S. taxpayers prepare to fund yet another year of that nation’s war against Russia, an adviser to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
That is a strong point. Notice how the crooks in DC want to launder all the aid in one big bill to obscure things. Mitch and Chuck of course oppose any audit of the money spent.
It will be quite a spectacle to see the senate not act on the Israel aid when they are presented the passed house bill on Friday. Any claims that the house GOP is holding back aid to Israel will be of course invalid. The Ukraine war has been a total failure financially and militarily for the west.
Plus there is the added insult that the senate and Biden want to fund the facilitation of the invasion of the USA. This makes them enemies of the USA.
The house initiates spending bills, not the senile crook Biden.
The senate has the bill, it is up to them to act. The rejection mechanism in the senate is to have a vote, not some gossip or arrogant speeches from corrupt senators. Watch the senate refuse to consider the house bill.
If someone wants Biden’s bill, then they want:
(1) more incredible debt
(2) inflation
(3) facilitation money for the border invasion
(4) many thousands of Palestinians, brought here with that facilitation money
(5) IRS thugs squeezing money from us
(6) increased threats of major war
Support for Biden’s bill is a fundamentally non-patriotic position.
