“Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above”

@MarshaBlackburn has been an extremely effective leader for Tennessee at both the State and Federal levels, and has been a true friend to me and to Carroll County.

I’ll be first in line to support her if she chooses to run for Governor of Tennessee 🤜🤛

[Joey Garrison @joeygarrison]

Sen. Marsha Blackburn holds a massive 71%-13% lead over Rep. John Rose in a hypothetical Tennessee Republican gubernatorial primary, the poll from Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio, reported first by @MarcACaputo, found.

Speaker @RepThomasMassie!! 🇺🇸

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

This week we vote on whether Mike Johnson should remain as Speaker.

If you’re happy with what he’s done this year and if you’re looking forward to what he will do the remainder of the year, you should join the Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries in supporting Mike Johnson. #uniparty

[Joseph G. Butler @JsphGBtlr]

Did they ban TikTok to protect our children, or to profit off of the decision?

And now, with the precedent set, they can ban any website or software that they can sell as “dangerous,” and then profit off of the decision.

Washington DC is fundamentally broken.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

WOW 🚨 Congressman Michael McCaul Who Wrote The TikTok Ban Bill Invested $1.15 Million Into META After Writing The Bill

- On March 3rd, he authored the TikTok Ban Bill
- On March 22nd, he invested $150,000 in META
- On the 26th, he invested another $150,000
- On the 28th, he invested another $150,000

So about three weeks after writing the TikTok Ban Bill, this man invested $450,000 in TikTok's competitor.

Oh, and then what did he do once he saw his TikTok ban was gonna be included with all the Ukraine funding:

- Well, on April 1st, he invested $350,000 more in META, followed by the fifth where he invested that again.

Then about a week later, of course, he voted yes on the bill he wrote.

So within the span of 40 days, this dude wrote the TikTok ban bill, proceeded to invest $450,000 in the competitor, and then invested another $700,000, taking his total investment and META at a $1.15 million.

And then he voted yes. Now, obviously the word most people are using here is suspicious, but the word we should be using is criminal.

This man wrote the f***** bill to ban TikTok, proceeded to invest more than a million dollars in its competitor, whose stock will skyrocket if TikTok actually gets banned, and then voted on the bill to ban it.

Are you paying attention yet?” #TikTok #TikTokBan

[Joseph G. Butler @JsphGBtlr]

He’s done this on every significant piece of legislation a majority @HouseGOP has passed. Why would a Rules vote be any different? As Leader, he’s caved consistently to pass legislation with Democrat majorities.

We appreciate you standing against the Uniparty, Congressman 🤜🤛

[Congressman Andy Ogles @AndyOgles]

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING
A Speaker has NEVER used minority votes to steamroll his own party in Rules.
This is a Democrat bill that is literally approved by Joe Biden! WTH!?! 🤬

[Joseph G. Butler @JsphGBtlr]

Keep fighting for us, Congressman!

We need you desperately and appreciate you greatly 🤜🤛

[Tim Burchett @timburchett]

I won’t vote to fund both sides of a war while our border is open. Folks can’t afford groceries while we added $95 Billion to our debt.

[Joseph G. Butler @JsphGBtlr]

Great to meet you last week!

Keep fighting against dreadful legislation and poor leadership, and keep fighting for our country.

We appreciate you 🤜🤛

[Matt Gaetz @mattgaetz]

There is deep disappointment in the Republican Party today for the $98 billion foreign aid bill - rightfully so.

Amid that let down, there is some good news this week.

The 1,100 troops Biden abandoned in Niger, Africa are coming home.

The coverup was exposed.

The gig is up.

[Joseph G. Butler @JsphGBtlr]

The media, Democrats, and most Republicans all want you to think she is crazy. They want you to ignore incredible statements like this.

How far our wonderful country has fallen.

I hope people like @RepMTG continue to rise up and speak for everyday Americans!

BREAKING.🚨

@RepMTG Submits Amazing Proposal for Ukraine Aid Bill to Stop America's 'Sick Business Model'

"America Last. America Last. That's all this is. Every single day, America Last."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) delivered a blistering statement on the House's "America Last" priorities while excoriating the Ukraine aid bill and proposing a sensational amendment.

"My amendment today would... take each dollar amount in this act [and it] is hereby reduced to zero. You see, the United States taxpayer has already sent 113 billion dollars to Ukraine, and a lot of that money is unaccounted for."

"This is a continuance of a sick business model... The federal government continues to fund the military industrial complex. And this was a business model that requires Congress to continue to vote for money to continue to fund foreign wars."

"And this is a business model the American people do not support. They don't support a business model built on blood and murder and war in foreign countries. While this very government does nothing to secure our border."

"The American people are over $34 trillion in debt. And the debt is rising by over $40 billion every single night while we all sleep. But yet nothing is done to secure our border or reduce our debt."

"Inflation has driven out of control. Americans are suffering every single day. They can hardly afford their grocery bills. They can hardly afford gas in their car. They can hardly afford rent. And now mortgage payments are well over $3,000, where they were only just over $1,700 three years ago."

"The youngest generation, young adults don't even think they're going to be able to buy a home in their lifetime. And today in Congress, the most important thing that this body thinks should be done is to send another 61 billion dollars to a war in Ukraine that the American people by 70% do NOT support."

"Mind you, this comes on the very heels of Monday being April 15th, tax day, where every single American had to scrounge up their money and send their dollars in to the IRS, or some of them had to file extensions because they weren't ready and didn't have the money to pay their taxes."

"But today, this body says the most important thing we can do, no, is not reduce spending. That's not it. Not to do anything to drive down inflation. Oh no, we can't do that for the American people. It's not to secure our own border that is invaded every single day. Every single day by people from over 160 different countries. No, don't secure the American border. Let everyone in. We have over 1.8 million known gotaways. We don't know who these people are."

"And yet you have members of this body talking big and tough about, 'oh, we have to defeat Russia. Oh, we have to protect Ukraine.' But yet all of you are unwilling to protect the American citizens that pay your paycheck, pay the light bills in this building, and pay for this entire federal government."

"For what? For nothing. Ukraine is not even a member of NATO. Ukraine is not a member of NATO. But the most important thing you hear in Washington DC is, 'oh, we have to spend Americans hard-earned tax dollars over to Ukraine and keep the money going to continue to murder Ukrainians, wipe out an entire generation of Ukrainian men, so that there are widows, there are fatherless orphans, there are not enough men to work in their industries. Oh, but you really support Ukraine? Wow. What kind of support is that? It's repulsive."

"Shame on the American government. Shame on the American government. If we support our military, support our military, we should be funding to build up our weapons and ammunition not to send it over to foreign countries to kill foreign peoples."

"And if this body was worth what it claims to be what it is, every single one of us would be demanding peace in Ukraine between these countries. Peace for these people, so that no more of them have to die."

"But you never hear anybody demanding peace. No, no, no, no. Peace is the last thing Washington wants because it doesn't fit the business model. This is a business model that they say continues our economy, protects American jobs. What a disgusting business model."

"We should have a business model that builds up our American companies and American jobs to serve American interest. And our military and our government should care about protecting the national security of the United States of America and the Americans that pay their hard earned tax dollars to fund all of this."

"America Last. America Last. That's all this is. Every single day, America Last." 🔥🔥🔥

[Joseph G. Butler @JsphGBtlr]

Thank you, Congressman!

[Congressman John Rose @RepJohnRose]

I voted 'NO' on the "rule" allowing for debate on Ukraine foreign aid on the House Floor. I have NEVER voted in favor of deficit spending for Ukraine.

Working to secure Ukraine's borders before securing our own is a mistake that I could not support.
