Republican Brags About Sabotaging Border Security Deal




Dec 22, 2023 at 4:23 AM EST By Giulia Carbonaro

......................

Talking on Fox News's The Ingraham Angle on Thursday about a border security deal reportedly in the works between Senate Democrats and Republicans, Johnson, who's part of the Homeland Security Committee, said he's been "pretty well leading the efforts to slow this process down."

A bipartisan border security and immigration deal, which would unlock the stalled aid package for Ukraine blocked by House Republicans, has reportedly been the object of talks between the White House and key senators. In a joint statement issued by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell before the Senate went into recess for the holidays, the two said that negotiations "continue to make headway."

But Johnson has been undermining the importance of such a bipartisan deal, saying that it's impossible to engage in honest talks with Democrats about the topic.


"I've got 14 of my colleagues to sign a letter to Republican leadership to hold a conference meeting when we return on January 8," the Wisconsin senator told host Laura Ingraham. "That was really designed to make sure that they won't jam us this week to take a vote on a bill that nobody has seen," he added. "I think we were largely successful."

.................

"The problem we have is that we're negotiating with an administration and Democrats in the Senate who want an open border," he concluded. Johnson took credit for the Senate going into recess without voting on any border security measures.

The RI Heritage Hall of Fame voted to induct Gen. Michael Flynn. Now, members are resigning.

Katherine Gregg
Providence Journal

PROVIDENCE - The selection of former Trump National Security Adviser ? and renowned conspiracy theorist ? Mike Flynn as an inductee into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame has led to at least a half dozen resignations from the board that oversees the Hall of Fame.

It also led former Congressman Jim Langevin, who was also selected last week for induction into the honorary Hall of Fame, to serve notice: "If retired General Michael Flynn were to be included in this class I would not accept the nomination."

In her letter of resignation from the board, former Rep. Denise Aiken wrote: "I find that I am unable to be associated with an organization that would choose to honor a criminal who failed to keep this oath to the Constitution of the United States."

"The inclusion of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn flies in the face of honorable service," wrote Aiken, adding in a subsequent interview: "I just couldn't see placing that particular nominee on the same footing with so many fabulous people that have been honored in that way over the many years that it's been in existence."

This man has a violent mind--and is dangerous.



Should the FBI and other law enforcement agencies launch an investigation into former WV lawmaker Derrick Evans for posting this picture of his Christmas tree?

RonFilipkowski Trump says, "Catholics, you cannot vote for the Democrats. You cannot even think about voting for Biden,"

Trump really is getting more bizarre as the weeks pass.





@RonFilipkowski
Trump says, “Catholics, you cannot vote for the Democrats. You cannot even think about voting for Biden,” because the FBI is “planning to send undercover spies into Catholic churches just like in the old days of the Soviet Union,” but he will stop it and save them.
