Well, we have a bit of an interesting situation forming on Congress.
While it is not leadership, it turns out we do have some Republicans in office with a backbone.
They may be just enough to block Biden’s budget unless he pulls back on his woke military agenda.
Not the Place
Joe Biden and congressional Democrats would love to force through a spending bill before the GOP gets control of the House and can block it.
For that reason, Schumer is trying to get a full budget passed rather than stop-gap spending that would only keep the government operations for a few months.
The annual defense spending bill is also on the block, but numerous GOP lawmakers have already expressed concern.
For instance, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) stated, “The defense bill isn’t the place for Democrats to indulge the wild ideas of their latest social experiments, like forcing women to register for the draft.
“If Democrats want to protect America and keep our troops safe, they should agree to pass a clean bill and leave their woke pet projects out of it.”
Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) added, “The military seems to be Chuck Schumer’s new favorite political football.
“We have passed the defense authorization 61 years in a row.
“Right now, I am confident there will be broad bipartisan support for number 62 — which makes this tight timeline even more unnecessary.”
The time between Thanksgiving and the new session is usually a pretty slow news cycle, but that does appear to be the case this year.
This battle is only beginning.
