The Housing bill is full of big government garbage & spending. Yet the @HouseGOP is going to muscle it through with democrats tomorrow over conservative opposition. Just a few of its sins:
1. Rep Tlaib’s Sec. 207 (H.R. 6768), which is a $200 million affordable housing pilot program to incentivize dense subsidized ‘affordable housing’ units.
2. Sec. 101: ‘reforms’ housing counseling agencies (HCAs) to provide rental dispute services to bad tenants facing lawful eviction. There is no reason we should be providing government-funded counselors to help people derail lawful evictions.
3. Sec. 106: establishes an eviction helpline program. For the same reasons as above, we should not subsidize the derailing of lawful eviction process for bad tenants.
4. A three-year authorization (with a ‘sense of Congress’ that it should be extended permanently) of the controversial Community Development Block Grant Disaster Relief (CDBG-DR) program. The program is controversial because its dispersement has been seriously flawed in the past - payments have taken years to be made,and the allocations have overwhelmingly gone to dense metro areas, ignoring rural communities... it should be scrapped entirely, and disaster repair payments should only be done by FEMA.
5. Indefinitely reauthorizes the HOME grant program and significantly expands the criteria for eligibility.
6. 7-year authorization of what had been an original Senate Pilot program to the Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE) which authorizes HUD to provide grants to grantees like NGOs, government agencies, and other organizations to purchase trailer parks, on the condition that they charge “affordable” rent.
7. RAD Program: Authorizes the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program reauthorization (which the house removed) and increases the cap to 100,000 units. This program is terrible as it provides vouchers for localities to raise money to convert units into long-term section 8 housing.
8. Does nothing to limit Foreign Ownership: Similar to Rep. Stuebe’s amendment to the farm bill on FCOC and FEOC bans on agricultural land purchases, language should have been included for aforeign adversary ban on housing stock purchases… there is no language prohibiting a Chinese citizen or company from buying an American single-family home.
9. Does nothing to 1) Make Sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for housing grant funding. 2) or Codify Trump’s ‘Mixed Status’ rule, which prohibits the prorating of housing welfare and benefits to households with illegal or ineligible alien residents.
10. Keeps Eviction Moratorium: Included in the CARES Act, was a 30-day eviction moratorium. While most of the CARES Act sunsetted or has been repealed post-COVID, this provision remains on the books.
@ClownWorld@Pacificnw777 If this were us, we would be hauled into the IRS w/all our paperwork (& a tax attorney if we could afford one) in tow for a butt reaming audit in no time, flat.
🚨 JUST IN: Tulsi Gabbard is GOING OFF on Islamism. She's NAILING it!
"Patterson NJ is proud to call themselves the 'first Muslim city.' They are working to implement these Islamic principles forced on people through laws or violence."
"This is ALREADY UNDERWAY in places like Houston! It is already happening HERE, within our borders."
"The bottom line: the threat of Islamism...there is no such THING as individual liberty. As Charlie said, it is fundamentally incompatible with our nation's foundation of freedom."
"When we understand our freedom comes from God, and no one else, we understand the seriousness of this Islamist ideology threat. Because it means they deny God is the one who has bestowed this right to freedom in every one of us." @TulsiGabbard
Time to WAKE UP, Westerners.
@bennyjohnson@Pacificnw777 Why aren't they being dragged into the IRS, w/ALL their paperwork in hand for an audit, like all of us would be had we pulled such blatant BS ?
On January 7, 2021 the media pronounced President Trump inert, kaput, zapped.
He was soon to be impeached a second time, and tried in the Senate as a private citizen.
Trump was written off by many grandees in his own party, libeled as a neo-Confederate insurrectionist, crashing in the Republican polls, and within months the target of 91 lawfare indictments in five civil and criminal courtrooms, and facing half-a-billion dollars in fines and a possible lengthy prison sentence.
Yet within two years, Trump was defiant as ever. He began criss-crossing the countries to massive rallies—between court appearances. He was soon crushing his Republican primary opponents, and convinced he could regain the presidency, despite two assassination attempts, the hatred of the frenzied Left, and loathed by the media, the universities, the corporate board rooms, celebrities, and most of the donor class.
No matter. Donald Trump staged the greatest comeback in American presidential history, won back the White House, and began launching the most sweeping counter-revolution in a century. Almost alone, Trump was determined to undo 100 years of the progressive take-over of our institutions, to marginalize the gloomy declinists, and to reboot the U.S. as the greatest economic, military, and political power in the world
How he arose from the ashes, crushed his opponents, and sought to restore America is the story of Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement—a carefully documented account and analysis of what Trump’s adversaries did to him, why he survived, and how he has become one of our nation's most consequential and controversial presidents.

Ready to have your mind blown?
Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I'll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating. He discovered:
- The American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan
- He found that we are giving money to Yemen
- He found that we are giving money to Syria
- He found that the USAID has 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion
- He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money
- He found that the USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. “I didn't know that. I bet you the American people didn't know that”
- He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
- They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world
- They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations
- According to this report in Mr. Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas
- He found that we gave $2 million, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala
- He found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
- He found that we gave $4.5 million of taxpayer money to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan
- He found that we gave $10 million, USAID did, of meals to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front
- Mr. Musk found that we gave $7.9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language. (The USAID took 8 million bucks and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language)
- USAID gave $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica
- They gave $1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem
- They gave $1.5 million for quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus
- Another $3.9 million for LGBT causes in Macedonia
- $8.3 million for equity and inclusion education in Nepal
“I could go all night and many of my colleagues are upset. They're really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”
🚨Barack Obama was using USAID to pretend to send money to a country for “aid” and instead laundering it to the Cayman Islands
He would then use that money to fund and train “Rent-a-Riots” for protests to overthrow governments
Sound familiar?
Mike Benz on Joe Rogan: “A scandal during the Obama USAID era. We were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time. — I'm simply showing the American people where your tax dollars are going and how these things are structured in order to systematically fool you and to fool Congress and to fool the White House:
— USAID pumped $1.2 billion in, and we sponsored these activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use Facebook, learn how to use Twitter, lose, learn how to use hashtags, learn how to coordinate street protests so that everyone knows where to go, what street to show up on, what kind of slogans to know, to use in order to create the pro-democracy predicate for it.”
He talks about how Obama funded a Twitter clone that would be used to push propaganda in Cuba to inspire these protests and overthrow the government (Mike Benz explains how Barack Obama overthrew many governments)
“So what they did is they took the exact same thing as Twitter, same user interface, same like, and retweet button zunzunio is, is the Cuban slang word for hummingbird. So just, it means it's it's bird, it was the Twitter bird, the whole thing. But the whole trick about it was you have to make it look like it's coming from the Cubans if you're going to do this operation
— We can get into the deeper layers of this, but contractors were funded by USAID
The data would then be used for micro targeting efforts towards anti and pro government users. In Cuba, the developers aim to, at first used non-controversial content such as sports and music and hurricane updates — What was the plan the whole time? Once they built up enough subscribers, they would begin to introduce political messages through social bots and encourage dissent in this, in this astroturfing — the whole point is, once they hit a critical mass, they would create ‘Rent-a-Riots”
“You're using Cayman Islands bank accounts. You're saying it's, you're earmarking it for Pakistani aid.” But the money was never sent to Pakistan, it was sent to the Cayman Islands to fund this whole operation
All this and much more is broken down extremely well in this video. This is INSANE
Absolutely. This is a total lie.
All DOGE did was require contact with the aid recipients to confirm that funds were being used legitimately. Anything less than this is insane!
Multiple people from USAID have been charged by the Justice Department with stealing money.
Moreover, they pled GUILTY!!

🚨BREAKING:
In Ireland, armed citizen groups are now forming to target politicians enabling mass Islamic migration.
This is what happens when leaders betray their own people. 😡🔥

@GregoriodeMont1@CBpug75@AlanJacoby We all believe everything you say about your accomplishment, too 🙄
Good to know you've graduated from the School of Alinsky's Rules For Radicals. Your use of ridicule is worthy.
@CBpug75@GregoriodeMont1@AlanJacoby Don't bother arguing with an illiterate, vulgar dimwit. He's either paid by the Dems and/or indoctrinated since early youth into the Leftist Dem Commie Death Cult
Where is the white privilege everyone talks about??
My 22-year-old son now wants to attend Aviation Mechanic School. It costs $40,000. They do not accept student aid. The only grants are these: 332 Heritage Foundation, Black Pilots of America, Latino Pilot Association, National Gay Pilot Association, Organization of Black Professionals, Professional Asian Pilots, Women in Aviation.
So how is an average young white straight male supposed to go without me co-signing a full loan? 🤦♀️
