Here we go again. How sickening is Washington DC. We know Speaker Johnson will betray America again and side with Biden and Pelosi.
Dear Speaker Johnson , Today is a good day to… Close the fucking border or shut down the government. Thanks, ALL Americans. – Gunther Eagleman

As the deadline looms for a potential government shutdown, Congress is poised to pass a short-term federal funding extension, commonly known as a continuing resolution (CR). Both Republican and Democrat leaders, despite their disagreements on various issues, share the consensus that a government shutdown is undesirable both in practical and political terms. ‘Today, I introduced legislation that would fund national security-related personnel salaries until a new spending agreement is reached. This relieves the pressures of the all-or-nothing approach that often leads Republicans to pass bad spending bills, – Said Rep Andy Biggs
Here you have it. The Democrats received what they wanted. What you should be concerned about is why they want this extended to March. What is going to happen in March? They’re planning something. Democratic leaders praise latest continuing resolution- Wendy Patterson
Within the Republican-majority House, tensions over federal spending have deepened, exposing rifts among conservatives. A growing faction within the party has expressed a preference for a government shutdown over extending the spending priorities set by the previous Democrat-led Congress. ‘Congressman Eli Crane Discusses Shutting Down the Government Until The Southern Border is Shut Down, Mayorkas Impeachment, and Possibility of Motion to Vacate Speaker Johnson – Gateway Pundit
Shortly after the legislative text of the CR was unveiled, the House Freedom Caucus, representing the hard-line right, criticized it as a “surrender.” On the other hand, Representative Johnson argued that the additional time provided by the extension would help Republicans stay on course to achieve conservative policy victories in the ongoing spending battle. The man has now been proven to be McCarthy, hiding behind a cross. We understand he is Deep State and doing all he can to tank the U.S. economy along with the Democrats… everything he does is theatre, playing for the camera as he does exactly what Deep State McCarthy did. Which is betray America every chance he could to bring America closer and closer to bankruptcy.

There is uncertainty surrounding whether House GOP leaders will be able to garner support from a majority of their members, given the current political climate surrounding spending. According to GOP aides, it is likely to be a showdown, with one stating, “The Freedom Caucus offers nothing more than criticism without a single suggestion to avert a government shutdown, and progressives want to spend more money than what this agreement represents.” This is the Deep State way of thinking and what they are hawking on all news sites.
U.S. congressional leaders have settled on a stopgap government funding bill that would extend spending authority until March 1 and March 8 through a so-called laddered continuing resolution, according to reports.https://t.co/3AvnPuSxsz https://t.co/LiCvK3Hi9v

The CR is expected to pass on the House floor, a larger number of Republicans than in the past may be compelled to vote against it for political reasons. They see MAGA rising so Speaker Johnson will be relying more on Democrat votes to pass his Democrat agenda. Once again stabbing America in the back.
On Tuesday, the Senate will begin the process to pass a clean continuing resolution that will avert a shutdown and give Congress the time it needs to finish our work to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year.

The proposed CR seeks to extend the current government funding deadlines from January 19 and February 2 to March 1 and March 8, providing a brief respite from the imminent threat of a government shutdown. This is the same tired old game that the Democrats, Marxists and Deep State have played now for years. They are using another CR to destroy all freedom in this nation by adding Trillions more to our debt in the hopes of America defaulting this next year or having to print trillions more to cover the debt. This will, in either case, destroy the American economy and help the Democrats bring about or at least attempt their ‘Great Marxist reset’
To Sum It All Up: Congress faces the challenge of balancing the demands of various factions within the Republican party, the Democratic opposition, and the need to avert the detrimental consequences of a government shutdown. As the CR is debated and voted upon, the nation watches closely to see whether political pragmatism will prevail over ideological divisions in ensuring the continued functioning of the government. The Left and media always expect the Republicans to fold, and with Deep State Speaker Johnson in control, it seems likely, yet again.

Major Points Discussed:
- Leaders from both Republican and Democratic parties are set to pass a short-term federal funding extension, known as a Continuing Resolution (CR), to avoid a government shutdown.
- Tensions within the Republican-majority House are evident as a conservative bloc expresses a preference for a government shutdown over extending the spending priorities set by the previous Democrat-led Congress.
- The Conservative House Freedom Caucus criticizes the CR as a “surrender,” while others argue that the extension will help Republicans pursue conservative policy victories in the ongoing spending battle.
- GOP leaders may face challenges in securing support from a majority of their members due to the divisive political climate. Some Republicans are expected to vote against the CR for political reasons, adding to the uncertainty.
- The ousting of ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy by eight House Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, is blamed for the challenging political climate, forcing Congress to pass another CR instead of implementing promised spending reforms. The proposed extension moves current funding deadlines to March 1 and March 8. The media all say this, and yet Speaker Johnson is doing exactly what McCarthy wanted, in fact nearly the exact measures. America is betrayed.
