There are troubling developments out of our nation’s capital.
A $1.2 trillion spending bill was released by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leaders in the wee hours of the morning. The bill is more than 1,000 pages and is filled with outrageous expenditures.
House members have been told to prepare for a vote on Friday morning. That would be a direct violation of the 72-hour rule – which requires the text of a bill to be released at least 72 hours before a vote.
“It is total lack of backbone, total lack of leadership and a total failure by Republican leadership,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) told Steve Bannon. “I don’t even have words for any Republican that votes for this bill. I promise you I will not be going out and supporting any Republican who votes for this bill for any position, ever again.”

The proposed bill already represents a complete surrender on any efforts to secure our southern border. But it’s also filled with other outrageous proposals.
There’s $400,000 in tax money earmarked for Briarpatch Youth Services, an organization that gives gender confused 13-year-old children “binding and tucking” clothing — without parental permission.
A call to vacate the chair should be declared if the House of Representatives is not given at least 72 hours to read this monstrosity of a spending bill. If the GOP can’t be leaders in fiscal responsibility, what’s the point?
Meanwhile, call your elected members of Congress and tell them to vote NO on the spending bill — even if it results in the shutdown of the federal government. Enough is enough!
