It’s not just hardcore leftist Democrats looking to spike Manchin’s deal
Republicans are threatening to tank Manchin’s pro-oil bill over ‘bad blood’ from climate deal
The federal government is nearing the end of its fiscal year, which means Congress is scrambling to put together a stop-gap spending bill designed to last until they can pass a budget (or longer-term funding extension). The Senate appears likely to add $12 billion in funding for Ukraine’s war effort and about $6 billion more in disaster relief funds, while Republicans have essentially rejected President Biden’s requests for $22 billion for COVID-19 needs and $4.5 billion to fight monkeypox.
As a sidebar, how about we use that $12 billion for Puerto Rico?
But “the Hill’s central drama as Congress sprints to finish its work before the midterms” involves Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) as-yet-unreleased legislation to speed up permitting on energy projects, including West Virginia’s Mountain Valley natural gas line, Politico reports.
Progressives are “already balking” at the measure, “a key cog” in the deal Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) hatched to pass this summer’s Democratic climate, health care, and tax package, Politico reports. And now, even though “construction of energy projects is a longstanding core GOP goal,” Republican senators are threatening to sink the legislation, arguing “they were under no obligation to cough up perhaps a dozen or more votes that Democrats need to get Manchin’s vision done.”
Democrats say Republicans are exacting revenge on Manchin for his deal with Schumer — and Republicans don’t really disagree with that assessment.
“Given what Senator Manchin did on the reconciliation bill, [it’s] engendered a lot of bad blood,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told Politico. “There’s not a lot of sympathy on our side to provide Sen. Manchin a reward.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) criticized the Democrats’ “corrupt deal.”
How are you feeling about that deal for your vote now, Joe? We’ll see how the people of West Virginia vote the next time you’re up for election.
Biden admin sides against Native Americans in crackdown on oil leasing near Indigenous site
The Biden administration is expected to soon finalize a rule banning oil and gas leasing near a Native American historical site despite heavy opposition from local Indigenous leaders, who say the administration’s rule would prevent them from collecting royalties on their land.
The rule, which the Department of Interior (DOI) announced in November 2021, would implement a 20-year moratorium on federal oil and gas leasing within a 10-mile radius of the Chaco Culture National Historical Park located in northwest New Mexico. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said the rule, which would amount to a withdrawal of 336,000 acres of public lands from mineral leasing, would protect the environment and “rich cultural legacy” of the region.
“We’re not destroying anything — we are Native Americans ourselves. Nobody is destroying the park,” Delora Hesuse, a Navajo Nation citizen who owns allotted land in the Greater Chaco region, told Fox News Digital in an interview. “The oil companies sure aren’t destroying the park. And they have new technology.”
“It just seems like they are listening more to the environmentalist people,” she continued.
It would put a lot of money in the pockets of the Native Americans, but, climate cult doctrine is more important to Biden
Priyanka Chopra Jonas Says the World Is at ‘Critical Point’ During UN Speech About Climate Change
Priyanka Chopra Jonas is addressing the climate crisis.
In a speech shared by the United Nations via YouTube on Monday, the Quantico star discussed some of the world’s most significant issues, including climate change, during her appearance at the 2022 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) opening remarks.
“We meet today at a critical point in our world, at a time when global solidarity is more important than ever,” the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador shared. (snip)
“We have that plan, the UN sustainable development goals — a to-do list for the world,” she explained. “These goals were created hand in hand with people around the world in 2015; together we have an extraordinary opportunity to change the world that we live in.”
“We owe it to our people, we owe it to our planet,” she said.
Gotta love massive climahypocrites telling us we’re doomed as they run around the world on private fossil fueled jets and in big limos, consuming way more than the average world citizens, and creating plans for Other People.
Manchin says he woke up after a night of celebrating victory with chuck and nancy ,and he had a salty taste in his mouth and his ass was sore.
Ukraine is the new middle east war. Iraq and Afghanistan have been replaced by Ukraine as the Military Industrial Complex which pays ungodly amounts of money for the votes of both LEFT and RIGHT gets its next war to keep the money flowing.
Inflation will never be tamed under the current administration for one simple reason. Supply issues. They have done very little to make sure there is enough stuff on the shelves to curb demand. Simply raising interest rates slows purchases of the big ticket items, and usually slows credit card spending but still, it does not eliminate the fact there is not enough stuff to go around now.
In the new world order the next to feel the destructive power of what the Democrats have fed us is Credit card companies, banks and credit unions and wall street which includes your retirement account.
This will lead to a huge depression. Not recession. Depression because we are in a bubble that makes 2008 look inconsequential.
Biden Declared the pandemic over and yet will not let a professional tennis player into the USA because he is unvaxxed.
Immigrants have flooded the border to the tune of 2.1 million this year alone and there have been 900 k got-a-ways.
Hollywood is turning to commercials as there is no market for their movies. Pay attention to how many stars are now doing commercials on TV and by stars, I mean A-lister Stars. You know to pay for that extravagant lifestyle.
Crime is running amuck and the left is suing DeSantis for sending 50 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.
DeSantis is becoming the face of the GOP as the Lincoln Project leads an effort to urge DeSantis to run against Trump.
Polling is showing Walker in GA. will defeat Warnock thus insuring the GOP will have the senate in 2023. In addition, we are now seeing all the fake polling arrive once again that shows Biden and the democrats gaining huge ground on the GOP to the point that even the left is now saying they will hold the house and gain seats in the Senate.
This leads me to my final point. 1000s upon 1000s of poll watchers by both sides will descend on the election and inevitably there will be violence and the potential outbreak of the next civil war as both sides have shown they quite literally hate each other.
Stock up friends. Winter is here and the dead are coming for us all. (Yes a game of thrones reference that suggests the only thing to help us is a common enemy. Without that the living will eat themselves for the Throne of the 50 kingdoms.)
There is still pent-up demand for stuff that higher prices will not eliminate.
You think the above is sad. Four times Joe Biden has said he will defend Taiwan against China. This last time on 60 minutes China filed a complaint over his words.
The White House four times said, uh no, we won’t. In short, the Unelected undermined Trump seriously. They have been undermining Joe Biden as well. He has stated four times he will defend Taiwan and four times unelected people have said that is not true. When a president says something four times on national tv and during important events. That is policy. Or is it what Unelected people say is policy? I forget. So does Trump. Are we really sure we should be going after Trump instead of all these people that are not held to account?
The fact the left cannot see this is insane. Washington is a beast of its own run by people who are unaccountable to anyone.
And now They are sending more money or weapons bought by the US to Ukraine without any authorization.
Dr. Birx of the CDC said she would never give Trump the real figures during the pandemic.
The Military told Trump they were out of Syria when they still had troops there fighting. They gave him false information on Iraq and Afghanistan because they felt they knew what was best for the country.
Now Biden is telling us what he would do and if it falls outside of the script by the unelected they correct him and tell us he was full of shit.
These people are seriously out of control and they are doing it to both Democrats and Republicans.
