The CR Didn’t Pass, Government Shutdown Looms October 1

Update at the end

The Trump endorsed CR failed in the Senate. John Fetterman voted with Republicans but Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski voted with Democrats. This is what Donald Trump was hoping to avoid.

Republicans who didn’t vote: Banks (R-IN), Blackburn (R-TN), Cassidy (R-LA), Johnson (R-WI), Lee (R-UT), Mullin (R-OK), Scott (R-SC), and Sullivan (R-AK).

The Senate blocked it to avoid a shutdown. It has to pass by October 1. Not spending within our means and abandoning budgets got us into this situation.

They need 60 votes and are nowhere close. Schumer won’t allow it to go through in my humble opinion and the government will shut down. He was slammed by the communist contingent when he didn’t close the government down last time, and he wants to run again.

“In exchange for responsibly keeping the government open while Congress works through the appropriations process, Democrats are demanding free health insurance for illegal aliens, $500 million for NPR, and an overall $1.5 trillion spending hike,” Speaker Johnson said. “If they block our clean CR, Democrats alone will be responsible for the government shutdown.”

Speaker Johnson said, “Democrats either have an issue with reading comprehension or they’re running a shameful misinformation campaign.The CR has no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, or veterans’ benefits. Members of the media: if you’re allowing Democrats to make intentionally false claims without pushback, then you’re aiding and abetting in the spread of this misinformation.”

In the House, the CR passed but Democrats wanted to spend $1.2 trillion. Fifty-seven or fifty-eight Democrats refused to honor Charlie Kirk, but they had enough votes to honor him.

  1. Given this, one option is to go “nuclear” and eliminate the filibuster—a procedural rule that currently requires 60 votes to advance most legislation. If Republican party chooses not to act, it’s likely the Democrats will take that step when they next hold power.

  2. 60% of the adult US population gets at least one form of free money from the working taxpayer on a monthly basis. That’s $1.75 trillion annually. Lets start by ending all hadouts and personal taxation.

  3. A government “shut down” isn’t that bad a thing – in fact, I look forward to them. Why? Simply because “We the People” get a little reprieve from the damage the federal government is capable of.

    I wish they always did good things, but that’s not the case.

    • Mark Twain once said, “No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while Congress is in session.”
      But the same can be said if the President declares a state of national emergency, even though the constitution directly prohibits confiscation of everyone’s property and freedoms.
      Once government reaches a certain level of size and power and then takes everything from the citizens, it doesn’t really matter whether Congress is in session or if the government is running or shut down one way or the other. It’s too late to stop the end results at that point.

  4. President Trump needs to veto any CR that congress eventually puts on his desk unless it changes the rules where:

    1. Military continues to be paid during shutdowns.
    2. Congress is classified as non-essential and not paid.
    3. No back pay non-essential worker Including congress.

    As I understand it, the standard procedure is to provide back pay +10% to non-essential workers who do not work during the shutdown. Essentially a paid vacation with a bonus at the taxpayers expense.

  5. Shut it down, send Congress home with no pay…for months. The less the demonic creeps in both parties in Congress can do, the better off we are.

  6. Why didn’t eight Republicans even vote? Are they on a physical vacation or a mental one? This needs to be explained in this poorly written article.

    • The 8 are strong fiscal conservatives who are sick of the CR crap year after year after year. There is ZERO reason or acceptable excuse for Congress missing the deadline. Essentially, 2025 was an extension of Biden’s bloated budget…and the Republicans want to extend it again? Why? Shut it down. Redirect money to ICE and let the rest go to blazes.

  7. 1.The USA is Factually Bankrupt
    2. Speaker “Hakeem” Johnson of the Uni-Rat* Party can shed All the Crocodile Tears he wants, But He Has always Used CR’s To Fully Fund the democRat Pelousy-Scummer $pending at Covid Levels.
    3.Politics makes Strange BedFellows, Voting No for Diffwerent Reasons,

    But A No Vote despite how you “Feel” about the democRats, rinoRats, and Absent* Non-Votes, NO to the CR Is The Correct Financial Vote, imo.

    Why??? $pending is Out of Control. CUT the $pending because it will either be Cut by Voting for Cuts or Hyper-Inflation (Weimar Germany) making this Paper/Digital “Money” even more Worth Less, & Less, & Less = Worthless.

    Even my Confederate Paper Money is More Valuable, not to mention the Obvious of Gold & Silver*. (Watch Silver Price,, close to 75.00/oz by end of this year!!!)

    The USSA’s Feral Bankster Empire is Collapsing, no tears from me. The Question is What Comes Next??? Bolshevik democRat Demoncrazy or a Restoration of the Original Constitutional Republic ??? and Maybe How many States will form the next USA ???

  8. SHUT IT DOWN! The only thing better than a temporary govt shut down would be a permanent shutdown! The left vs right illusion no longer serves the American people. Shut it down and fire ’em all and start over. They’re ALL bought and paid for!!!!!!

  9. A “Government shut down” means non-essential employees get a paid vacation, with 10% interest on the back pay.

    When you know how Government works; the threats have no legs.

    The fear mongering is all hype.

    The non-essential Employees are making out like Bandits.

    Who makes 10% on what they didn’t earn, and get paid to be on vacation?

  10. Like we’re gonna even notice a shutdown! As a matter of fact, a shutdown saves us money, the politicians won’t be spending it.

  11. So why did Banks (R-IN), Blackburn (R-TN), Cassidy (R-LA), Johnson (R-WI), Lee (R-UT), Mullin (R-OK), Scott (R-SC), and Sullivan (R-AK) not vote?

  12. Stop the CR madness.
    Hey Congress – both parties – pass a budget and live by it. No more CR shortcuts that never hold congress’s spending accountable.
    We’ll vote accordingly.

  13. We’ve already lost because the GOP wing of the Uniparty is literally begging Demoncraps to pass a CR full of $1 trillion in existing Socialist Pork. And the Demoncraps, using demon logic–and, well, because it’s all Uniparty Kabuki Theater anyway–are predictably blackmailing for more. We need at least 5 “rogue” Senators to have the guts to SHUT… IT…DOWN…and keep it shut until the Uniparty (aka Fabian Socialists who’ve ruled us in secret for 100+ years) start outing themselves as demons by wailing and gnasing their teeth. If that happened, then we’d watch our corrupt Deep State collapse like an earhquake hit it! [I said we need 5, but we only have 1–Rand Paul–and he may just be a fake. If the shutdown occurs without 5 Rand Pauls, then 5-6 Demoncraps will be quickly ordered by their masters to flip their votes in favor of the CR. The Fabians know they no longer control the Media and will not be able again to demagogue “shutdowns” with America’s patriotic majority. For them, a CR must pass. Don’t be fooled by this brinksmanship. Again, it’s scripted melodrama.]

  14. How about saying to the Democrats “If you do not vote for the CR then we will shutdown and go into FULL recess”

  15. If the Democrats want NPR and free healthcare for Illegals etc, then let THEM pay for all of it out of their own pockets, quit expecting to spend way over the budget and continue spending OUR money on these pet projects of theirs.

  16. The best thing that can happen to America is if these fools can’t work for months.
    All they do is add debt and make things harder. literally that’s all they do. they don’t even work for us anymore they work for lobbyists

    • It doesn’t matter, because as soon as they come to an agreement after the shut down everyone is back paid. So this kabuki theater means nothing. It is done to divide the country. If we had actual patriots in office they would pass a resolution for a balanced budget. But because we are so far into debt it would crater the economy if they just stop paying the crap.

  17. Government workers are overwhelmingly support Democrats, who continually try to destroy their jobs. Go figure!
