Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is playing Ebenezer Scrooge on steroids, forcing his minions to work Christmas week. But unlike Scrooge, who was simply seeking more business profits, Schumer seeking $111 billion in borrowed US treasure to fund our lost war in Ukraine and Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza.

One would have no idea Schumer is pitching endless death and destruction in Ukraine and Gaza from this Orwellian soundbite: “The Senate will return Monday. That will give negotiators from the White House, Senate Democrats, and Senate Republicans a time to work through the weekend in an effort to reach a framework agreement.” Schumer’s ‘framework agreement’ is a framework of death.

From the Jimmy Dore Show:

If you believe the standard narrative, the Netanyahu government in Israel is a moral enemy of that evil terrorist group, Hamas.

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

The US House this morning joined the Senate in approving the massive, trillion dollar National Defense Authorization Act where Congressional leadership snuck in authorization for the government to continue to illegally spy on US citizens not suspected or accused of any crime! In the House, Speaker Johnson only passed the bill with the assistance of Democrats – a move that cost his predecessor his job. Will Johnson suffer a backlash for betraying his promises?
