Omnibus Bill Puts Coal in Stockings for Christmas

Democrats are hoping you’ll be too busy with the holidays to notice the coal that they’ve stuffed into the Omnibus bill. The same bill that is costing taxpayers $1.7 trillion. So while you’re waiting for relatives to arrive, or those of us in the Midwest are waiting for the “bomb cyclone” — what we call a “bad winter storm” — Democrats want to pass this monstrosity.

But it’s not just Democrats who want to push through this Goliath of a bill. As you might guess, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wants to pass the omnibus bill, too.

“Cocaine Mitch” buddying up to the Democrats to throw more of our money into the streets. Who had that on their Bingo card other than, well, just about everybody who pays attention to McConnell’s shenanigans?

“Our bosses are the American people.” Sure Mitch, sure. Americans love having you and your BFFs in Congress fleece us for pork.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) took McConnell to the woodshed for caving to the Democrats.

As Sen. Scott told David Asman, the bill clocks in at over 4000 pages. No one in Congress has time to read it, even with their the help of their staffs. Which is just what the Democrats and their sycophants in the Republican party are hoping.

But others have found coal in the omnibus bill that should raise your eyebrows and cause you to ask What the F***?

 

“Family Planning” in the Omnibus Bill

Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) discovered the bill features $575 million for “family planning” (in addition to $65.7 million for international fisheries commissions.) It’s all to save the planet, of course!

“Family planning” sounds so innocuous, but you know that it really means funding for abortions.

Minnesota House Representative-elect Walter Hudson wrote:

“There’s a chilling anti-human synergy between the Left’s pet projects, from throttling energy production and raising the cost of living to outright killing people in the womb. It’s all about making fewer, less vibrant, and wholly dependant people. It’s truly evil.”

Kudos to Rep. Bishop for finding this provision buried deep in the omnibus bill which Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his BFF Mitch McConnell hope no one notices.

 

More Coal in Your Stocking

But that’s not the only coal that Congress plans to leave in your stocking. The Heritage Foundation also discovered these clinkers:

  • $1.2 million for “LGBTQIA+ Pride Centers”
  • $1.2 million for “services for DACA recipients” (aka helping illegal aliens with taxpayer funds) at San Diego Community College. 
  • $477k for the Equity Institute in RI to indoctrinate teachers with “antiracism virtual labs.”

But wait! There’s more!

  • $1 million for Zora’s House in Ohio, a “coworking and community space” for “women and gender-expansive people of color.”
  • $3 million for the American LGBTQ+ Museum in New York City.
  • $3.6 million for a Michelle Obama Trail in Georgia.

And if you thought that Congress was going to increase funds to the US Customs and Border Patrol to bolster security at the southern border, think again. Rep. Dan Bishop brings the receipts once more:

“It expressly prohibits CBP funding from being used to improve border security.”

“…but at the same time, allocates $410 million towards border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.”

And the bees! And salmon!

“$3 million for bee-friendly highways, & another $5 million for the salmon. Talk about a buzzkill.”

But the Republicans got their increase in military spending, so it’s all good as far as Mitch McConnell and his fellow spenders in the GOP are concerned.

 

Rand Paul Gives the Omnibus Bill a Christmas Twist

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), as usual, is fed up to his eyeballs with the profligate, unaccountable spending that Congress wants to push through while no one is paying attention. So in honor of the season, he wrote his own version of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” Omnibus-style.

Merry Christmas. You’re about to get a $1.7 trillion lump of coal in your Christmas stocking.

    There are oodles of Europeans right now who dearly WISH Santa would come put coal in their stockings. Because of the failures of the Progressive Church’s policies in real life.
