Rep. Brandon Gill just introduced a bill that would BAN people from using SNAP benefits at restaurants, restricting them to only grocery store use.
“SNAP is supposed to help struggling Americans put nutritious food on the table, not stick taxpayers with the bill for fast food" 🔥🔥🔥
NO MORE WASTING TAX DOLLARS
IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE YOU CAN'T SERVE IN CONGRESS
Let's start a movement here and now, and make clear to our Republican friends in Congress, that any Democrat candidate (DSA candidates in particular) who've stated they cannot abide the Constitution or seek to fundamentally alter it (without even amending it), or state they are bound not by the Constitution but Sharia law, must not be seated in the next Congress. This position is compelled by the Constitution itself.
Article VI, Clause 3 of the Constitution states:
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
This is not some ceremonial act. It is a requirement of serving in Congress. The oath states:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
As Joseph Story wrote:
That all those, who are entrusted with the execution of the powers of the national government, should be bound by some solemn obligation to the due execution of the trusts reposed in them, and to support the constitution, would seem to be a proposition too clear to render any reasoning necessary in support of it. It results from the plain right of society to require some guaranty from every officer, that he will be conscientious in the discharge of his duty. Oaths have a solemn obligation upon the minds of all reflecting men, and especially upon those, who feel a deep sense of accountability to a Supreme being. If, in the ordinary administration of justice in cases of private rights, or personal claims, oaths are required of those, who try, as well as of those, who give testimony, to guard against malice, falsehood, and evasion, surely like guards ought to be interposed in the administration of high public trusts, and especially in such, as may concern the welfare and safety of the whole community.

Notice, too, that the oath itself warns against deceit by those who might take the oath but not seriously believe to what they are swearing -- "without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion." It is difficult to see how those who've publicly condemned the Constitution and reject it can take the oath and actually mean it. This is not to say that proposals for amending the Constitution should be treated as a bar to serve. There are two processes for amending the Constitution, both of which require super-majorities of the state legislatures to approve the constitutional changes. The problem for Marxists and Islamists is that their ideologies are, in fact, incompatible with our Constitution and the entire American experiment, as I've explained for years.
The fact is that winning an election for Congress is the first of two-steps, not the first and final step for serving. If you cannot legitimately take the oath, then you cannot serve in Congress, even though voters in a federal district or state supported your candidacy. The purpose of the Constitution is to preserve the Republic.
Much more can be said about this an undoubtedly will be.
.@MariaBartiromo is the best in the business and the hardest-working person in media. Smart. Kind. Principled. The best interviewer on television. Proud to have been with her everywhere that mattered over the past 15 years — Wall Street, Davos, Milwaukee, and every corner of the earth in between. This is a huge loss for Fox.
Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “There is NO PART of the so-called SAVE America Act that I can support.”
It’s official: The Democratic Party wants illegal aliens voting in our elections.
Raise your hand if you’ll miss watching @MariaBartiromo on Fox News.
I certainly will.
She can always be counted on to offer insights on important issues that others ignore.
🚨ALERT: PRESIDENT TRUMP PUTS HOMELESS VETS AHEAD OF ILLEGAL ALIENS
“Every single American should know this going into the midterms.”
THIS IS WHAT AMERICA FIRST LOOKS LIKE
WHY WOULD ANYONE OPPOSE HELPING OUR VETERANS FIRST?
Until you have, heaven forbid, clouds overhead in a thunderstorm! No signal then unfortunately. What used to be reliable and consistent has become like other satelite services for more $$. Sorry to say I am disappointed.
Thanks for doing your job and giving the American people and President what we asked for you POS RINO, obstructionist Senators and Congress people. I hope your voters make life hard on your f'ing vacation.
THE SENATE WENT ON RECESS LIKE COWARDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE EVERYONE IS SLEEPING IN THEIR BEDS
THIS ALONE SHOULD GET THUNE FIRED
SHAME ON REPUBLICANS
Every GD senator should be primaried or censured or somehow held accountable for their failure of the American people, and President Trump, this session. This is totally despicable , especially for Thune the sorry ass POS! Everyone of them should be termed or voted out.
FAFO 🚨
Any Senator who holds pro forma sessions for John Thune, so he can continue to block Trump from having recess appt's, gets voted out
Thune's first session is set to be held Monday
Let the @SenateGOP hear from you, they'll see this... stand with Trump or lose your job
