Splinter the UniParty into a Thousand Pieces
As we have previously documented, America is now careening on fiscal automatic pilot toward a $140 trillion public debt by mid-century, but the overwhelming share of House Republicans choose to hammer the US economy with even more debt to fund pointless foreign aid boondoggles, while shackling private citizens and entrepreneurs with government intrusions based on the paranoid lies of the national security state.
"We Need To Splinter The UniParty Into A Thousand Pieces" - Stockman Slams Washington's Foreign Aid "Clusterf**k"

The UniParty's Day Of Infamy, Part 1
The clusterf*ck in the US House of Representatives this past weekend is surely the final straw. The dreadful grip of the UniParty on national security policy has finally produced sheer madness in a single package. To wit:
- $95 billion of foreign aid boondoggles that do not benefit America’s homeland security in the slightest.
- An extension of section 702 of FISA that wantonly expands an already egregious affront to the Fourth Amendment.
- The illegal transfer of billions of sovereign assets stolen from Russia to its enemies in Kiev.
- A national security ban on 15-second TikTok videos about dances, pranks, pets and poppycock viewed overwhelmingly by under 30-year-old Americans whose viewing habits are of zero value to the Chicoms in Beijing.
It is bad enough that there is not an iota of informed consideration behind any of this. But what is really alarming is that every single House Democrat (210) voted in favor of $61 billion for the Ukrainian Demolition Derby. This included a 97-0 vote among so-called Dem “progressives”, who also voted 96-0 in favor of aid to Taiwan—the purpose of which is surely not a more pacific neighborhood on the Pacific Rim.
Once upon a time, the Democrats were the party of the peace candidates. No more, which surely explains their fury at RFK, who is.
At the same time, only fourteen Republicans voted against all four components of this wholesale assault on constitutional liberty and fiscal rectitude. As we have previously documented, America is now careening on fiscal automatic pilot toward a $140 trillion public debt by mid-century, but the overwhelming share of House Republicans choose to hammer the US economy with even more debt to fund pointless foreign aid boondoggles, while shackling private citizens and entrepreneurs with government intrusions based on the paranoid lies of the national security state.
