The Omnibus bill or the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that’s really a climate change bill hasn’t been signed yet. That’s correct. Biden jetted off to the Virgin Islands before signing the bill.
This $1.7 trillion bill is supposed to reduce inflation. Supposed to, but it won’t. It will give us more debt and more inflation. We are already being warned that gas prices will be skyrocketing once again by summertime, $4 a gallon at a minimum per GasBuddy.
GasBuddy, an app that provides real-time gas price information, released 2023 projections on Wednesday that suggest Americans should expect some relief at the pump at the start of next year. The yearly national average price is forecast to drop nearly 50 cents per gallon from that of 2022 to $3.49 cents, the report states.
The Washington Post is gleefully proclaiming that US households will get lots of free stuff starting in 2023!!
Earlier this year, Congress passed the biggest climate bill in history — cloaked under the name the “Inflation Reduction Act.” But while economists say the bill may not reduce inflation very much, it could do one important thing for a country trying to move away from fossil fuels: Spur millions of households across America to switch over to cleaner energy sources with free money.
Horseshit. There is no such thing as “free money!” OUR tax dollars will be paying for all this wind, solar, windows, electric vehicles and a cratering power grid! As for all the other spending in the bill, why yes, our troops will get a decent raise, one of the best in 20 years. The only problem is, with inflation, that raise won’t be worth much.
Dems have used reconciliation to pass through the massive American Rescue Plan & Inflation Reduction Act, which is really just the Green New Deal pasted with lipstick. That's about $3 trillion dollars that they've jammed into the economy without a single Republican vote. pic.twitter.com/Uu8q9hd41d

Oh, and suddenly in the bill is funding to provide oversight for tracking the billions of dollars the Biden Administration has funneled to Ukraine this year.
The $45 billion for efforts related to Ukraine’s defense from the Russian invasion launched in February is about $7 billion more than Biden requested. It provides about $16 billion for economic and humanitarian aid, $12 billion to replenish U.S. equipment sent to Ukraine, $9 billion for weapons, training and other support, and an extra $7 billion for U.S. military operations in Europe. The omnibus also includes some $6 million for oversight measures to track where funding provided to Ukraine has been used, a priority for some Republicans in Congress.
When will that oversight start? Who the hell knows!
Meanwhile, Biden did his usual. Jets off on vacation in St. Croix and leaves the bill stranded and ignoring blizzards, illegal immigration, and the Southwest implosion.
He’s wandering around on the beach while one of his minions sends out this tweet.

Exactly. And this is where Biden’s climate hypocrisy comes into play.
First off: he could’ve used less jet fuel by either staying put in Washington DC or having New Years at his home in Delaware. But nooooo…let’s burn money and fuel by flying off to the Virgin Islands! And that doesn’t include the costs involved regarding the advance teams work either!
Then suddenly, we find out that Biden left some business unfinished. You guessed it, he wanted to go on vacation and didn’t want to delay it even as the bill, passed last week, wasn’t ready to be signed. So, what to do with this 4,000 page monstrosity?
A White House Official tells me the Omnibus Bill is in possession of the White House. It has to be signed by Dec 30th. The Official says at some point it will be transported to St Croix for POTUS to sign to make the Dec 30th deadline. #POTUS

Yes folks, you read that correctly. The bill along with however many staffers involved will be flown by private jet to the Virgin Islands so Biden can sign it before the December 30th deadline. Our tax dollars are certainly working hard to keep a BILL nice and comfy!
Didn't fly anywhere this winter?

Maybe you couldn't afford it?
Maybe your flight was canceled?
Maybe you wanted to save the environment?
Guess who will be flying though?
The Omnibus Bill.
They are going to fly the Omnibus Bill to St. Croix so that Joe can sign it. https://t.co/QIOojPffuq
Will the media and Democrats speak out about this climate hypocrisy? Or about Biden leaving the bill hanging? Or about the thousands of dollars that will be wasted by flying this Omnibus monstrosity to and from the Virgin Islands? Nope. No matter the atrocious optics on this, it’s only bad when Republicans do stuff like this. Biden will get a pass every damned time.

Do you want to know why TFG (the f%@king genius) made money while he was in the Whitehouse as compared to his years as a “private citizen?” The millions and millions of $$$$ paid to him to house all the secret service, WhiteHouse and Presidential staff as his bedbug infested hotels. Oh, let’s not forget the people, organizations and countries that paid hundreds of thousands of $$$$ to say in his bedbug infested hotels to throw $$$$ money his way.
Here’s how everyone knows VG is a right-wing disaster of a propaganda rag … Did you ever report or otherwise criticize TFG about his time away from the WhiteHouse while on “vacation” or whatever you want to call it. Look at this … “Trump has visited a Trump Organization property on 428 days of his presidency, or one visit every 3.4 days. That means that he has visited on about two days of every week of his presidency.”
WTF? Can you fricking believe that? Why don’t you add up the cost of spending 428 days (and that doesn’t include when he stayed at a non-bedbug infested tRump property) on the tax payers dime.
Hypocrisy.
