Doing Biden’s bidding, House rejects $17.6B standalone Israel aid bill after Biden’s veto threat. This way Biden cannot be exposed with a veto, for the con-artist that he is regarding aid to Israel. He insists that we must also give Hamas money, which will guarantee the war continues. We continue to play all sides as if we are baddies on the global stage.

President Joe Biden has announced his intention to veto a standalone aid package for Israel, which has garnered support from Republicans and is set to be voted on by House lawmakers this week, according to a statement from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on January 5.
It’s political theater… There is a 10 year binding agreement between the Us & Israel called a MOU or Memorandum of Understanding which commits the US in supplying military aid to Israel. – Yiskah Chaya
The OMB labeled the proposed funding measure, backed by GOP lawmakers, as “another cynical political maneuver” aimed at undermining the bipartisan Senate national security package. The Senate package, resulting from extensive negotiations between Senate Republicans and Democrats, is encountering resistance from both Senate and House Republicans due to concerns over border security provisions and funding for Ukraine.
The White House emphasized that months were spent working with a bipartisan group of Senators to create a national security agreement addressing border security, providing support to Ukraine and Israel, and offering humanitarian assistance to civilians affected by conflicts globally. The administration denounced the standalone bill as a “cynical political maneuver” and stressed that the security of Israel should be a priority rather than a political game.
Here’s the actual vote that saved Biden from lodging his veto which would have exposed him to the world even further.
250-180: House rejects the $17.6 billion standalone Israel aid bill. It would have needed a two-thirds majority to pass. 14 Republicans and 166 Democrats voted No.

President Biden’s administration expressed strong opposition to the proposed standalone bill, stating that it fails to secure the U.S. border amid the ongoing immigration crisis and inadequately aids Ukraine in the face of Russia’s invasion. The alleged ploy also neglects support for the security of American synagogues, mosques, and vulnerable places of worship, while denying humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians, particularly women and children. Knowing full well that his scam Senate deal also does not secure the border and institutionalizes illegals to destroy this nation within the next few years, Biden’s threat to veto would have been spectacular. Something very hard for the Leftists that control 95% of media to spin as the more who continue to find out about the nature of the vermin heading our government, the more Biden loses support. Even among his formerly strong voting groups.
In urging both chambers to reject the standalone bill, the White House called for a vote on the Senate national security bill instead. President Biden’s planned veto of the standalone bill is a response to opposition from Republicans concerning the Senate’s $118.2 billion legislative package, which includes substantial aid to Ukraine, Israel, humanitarian assistance for the Gaza Strip, and support for Indo-Pacific partners.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer initiated the procedural steps for the Senate bill’s passage, with a vote scheduled for Wednesday. However, Republican opposition centers on key provisions, including granting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to close the border under specific conditions related to illegal immigrant encounters.
Some Republicans argue that such provisions could incentivize illegal border crossings, with concerns about potential negative consequences. Additionally, the absence of a restoration of former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy is a point of contention among GOP lawmakers.

Progressive Democrats (Marxists) also oppose the deal, arguing that it fails to provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of long-term illegal immigrants, including “Dreamer” immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. House Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated a preference for the Republican-backed aid package solely for Israel and rejected the bipartisan Senate bill.
In response to President Biden’s veto threat, Johnson labeled it as an “act of betrayal,” expressing concern for Israel’s security amid ongoing conflicts. Other Republicans criticized Biden’s stance, with Representative Mike Garcia deeming it “galactically dumb” to turn away bipartisan support for the aid package based on political considerations.

Representative Jim Banks accused Biden of appeasing the radical left domestically and appeasing Iran in foreign policy, asserting that supporting Israel contradicts both approaches. The debate over the aid package reflects the complex intersection of national security, border control, and foreign policy considerations within the current political landscape. The results of it all…
The House of Representatives on Tuesday rejected legislation to provide Israel with $17.6 billion in aid amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The lower chamber had attempted to pass the measure under suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds majority. The chamber fell short of that threshold in an a 250-180 vote. – See Just the News for more
