Washington DC is now officially known as Pork City! Why? Take a look at the House’s Continuing Resolution to to keep the Federal government funded. Includes $110 billion in disaster assistance for relief efforts in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, and Western region, among others.

The 1,547 page federal spending bill has so many outrageous things in it, it’s hard to know where to begin – but it without a doubt should NOT pass as-is. But a great example of why we need @doge more than ever to reel in the governments insane spending & redundancies.

Highlights:

1. $8 BILLION—For Emergency Relief for damage caused by a cargo ship to the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD and 20 surrounding counties, including reconstruction of the bridge.

2. A section regarding our health agencies – has a lot of red flags – and appears to aim to limit what the new HHS Secretary (@RobertKennedyJr) can and cannot do:

“The Secretary may not revise the Vaccine Injury Table to include a vaccine for which the Centers for Disease Control &!Prevention has issued a recommendation for routine use in children or pregnant women until at least one application for such vaccine has been approved… Upon such revision of the Vaccine Injury Table, all vaccines in a vaccine category on the Vaccine Injury Table, including vaccines authorized under emergency use… shall be considered included in the Vaceine Injury Table and they also added “CLARIFICATION—Notwithstanding… an injury or death related to a vaceine administered at a time when the vaccine was a covered countermeasure subject to a declaration under section 319F-3(b) SHALL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR COMPENSATION under the Program.”

$100 billion in disaster relief for hurricane-hit states.

$30 billion in economic assistance for farmers.

Restrictions on U.S. capital investment in China, a win for GOP hawks wary of Beijing’s influence.

A delay in the implementation of a “beneficial ownership” database meant to curb money laundering until 2026.

The transfer of RFK Stadium to the District of Columbia, clearing the way for a shiny new Washington Commanders stadium.

The relocation of an Air National Guard fighter squadron from D.C. to Maryland.

Even the American Music Tourism Act of 2024 got squeezed in.

Why isn’t the shipping company that slammed into the Francis Scott Key bridge paying for its repair? And why aren’t football fans paying for a new football stadium?? Etc. Etc.?

House Speaker Rutherford should officially switch parties and become a crazy spending Democrat!

Hey! FReepers!

How About It? Huh?
It Ain't Askin' Too Much
