The Government shutdown and nobody noticed.

This is important--money is fungible--and it's why the Democrat and media lie that health care is not going to illegals is so preposterous. Consider, for instance, two state Medicaid programs--Ohio and New York. New York gives Medicaid to illegals and Ohio doesn't.

When the government gives billions of dollars to New York for Medicaid, that frees up state money in New York that can then be spent on illegals.

It's like if you give a mobster $100 but he PROMISES you he won't spend the money to buy a gun and commit a crime. Well, he takes the $100 you gave him and buys food, and then takes the money he would have spent on food and uses that money to buy the gun instead. This is what "money is fungible" means.

Additionally, because medical services are limited in supply, when an illegal accesses health. care, it drives up the cost for everyone. So New Yorkers are paying a higher price for medical services, and the federal government is subsidizing those higher prices.

So everyone in the media, from George Stephanopoulos to Jake Tapper, repeating these Democrat talking points, is engaged in the Democrat propaganda war.

Democrats shut down the government to give health care money to illegal aliens. It's really that simple.

My wife says there was a radio show, "How to spell with Manuel," in the Rio Grande Valley back in the 1980's. They'd do shit like this all the time, and it was hilarious. I'm sure someone on Trump's team is from there and remembers this.

Many sombreros are works of art. They are big enough that you can curl up your arms and knees, tilt your head, and have some shaded siesta in the hot sun.

Another different Nancy Actress (weird mouth) or they changed its real time CGI filter.

Or, the City of London/MI6 shutdown, while they prepare an array of human sacrifices under the old Roman city and US Congress for empowerments and spell casting. It doesn't look like they can stop the retrogade path of the karma boomerangs this time.

Rumblings in the alternative press that the re-establishment of the Republic is incoming. Trump as much as said so in his document to the generals. One would hopium.

Military is the only way?

I’ve identified $2 trillion worth of non-essential government expenditures for
@russvought
to cut during the Schumer Shutdown.

I'm not so sure that the government in its old form will ever come back online. Cut off all the money and amputate the leveraging corruptions in one fell swoop. It's a Gordian knot cure.

The default mode without the Roman/Vatican DC corruption is military. Military justice isn't overwhelmed by lawfare and black robed, corrupt ghouls dominated by Freemasons and fiat bux. It is swift and to the point.

It's been said for a long time that Trump has always been poised to be a CIC and a bankruptcy President. The civilian reconstruction of the Republic requires that the Babylonian debt slavery be laid to rest.

Trump needs to exorcise the Senior Executive Service demon from the Government. Nobody even knows who all they are, but they give additional paychecks to their minions in the DC government and military and tell them with their agents in the IRS how NOT to pay taxes on it. They are bribery central and our taxes pay for them. They are also much higher paid than the standard GS civil servants.

They are supposedly a 'continuity of goverment' operation started by Jimmy Carter, but in fact operate as a complete shadow governement operating unseen, unelected and without recognizance. They are the main component of the Deep State.

The recent Humphreys decision by SCOTUS (to be decided in more detail in December) allowing Trump to fire embedded and previously firing-immune bureaucrats is pretty big in restoring the proper Constitutional powers of the Executive, and giving Trump the basis for winning the DC civil war with the Senior Executive Service (Deep State).

It seems it will be a one-two punch with the previous Chevron decision that stated that government bureaucrats could not coopt the legislative powers of Congress to synthesize 'laws', even if Congress ostensibly authorized them to do so. Congress cannot abdicate it's functions onto bureaucrats.

It seems all SCOTUS has time for lately is staying, reversing or sending back lower court actions. What a waste of time.

It’s beside the point, but … what if we sold the parks and museums to private operators? It would help pay down the debt. If we did, would there then be any way to tell when the government is shut down or not? ...

But over the weekend, President Trump directed the War Department to keep paying all military personnel despite the government shutdown. The move infuriated Democrats, who are now sullenly trying to decide whether suing the Administration to block military pay would be a winning or losing political look.

Trump finally pulling out all the stops to check mate the Democrats, unlike in his first term.

This tells me that the Democrats will escalate its AntiFa and violent left protests and try to distract from this such as get its mainstream media partners to do a news cycle blitz on the Epstein Files.

Democrats Block Bipartisan Bill to Pay Troops During Government Shutdown

Senate Democrats on Thursday voted down legislation that would have guaranteed paychecks for U.S. service members and essential federal workers as the government shutdown drags into its fourth week.

The bill, known as the Shutdown Fairness Act, was introduced by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).

The legislation seeks to ensure that active-duty military personnel, as well as federal workers still reporting to duty, including TSA agents, air traffic controllers, and ICE officers, would continue receiving pay despite the funding lapse.

The measure fell short in a 54–45 vote, with nearly all Democrats opposing it.

Only three Democrats broke ranks to support the legislation.

At yesterday’s press event, President Trump announced that a “private donor” who wishes to remain nameless donated the money to cover military pay during the Schumer Shutdown. “He called us the other day and said, ‘I’d like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown, because I love the military and I love the country,’” Trump explained.

Hopefully, whoever it is will eventually be reimbursed. But the federal government is probably not allowed to formally borrow money during a shutdown. In fact, the legality of using private money to pay military salaries is, shall we say, in a grey area. But it’s welcome, and I doubt anybody will sue over it because of the optics. Think about it.

Who is this mystery patriot? We don’t know, but I bet his name rhymes with Nylon Tusk.

But wait, don't Republicans have majorities in both the House and Senate?

Which Republicans voted against funding the military and TSA?

Don't you mean which RINO's?

The billionaire bailout theme could be a Dr. Strange Trump misdirection. I think Trump had this planned out, including the financing going into the breach.

It'll put the Globalists and treasonistas in Congress on their heels that their bosses aren't the only ones with the money.

Needed 60 votes to pass in the Senate.
