House Dems Plan ‘Discharge Petition’ outmaneuvering GOP on Ukraine Aid Bill
The Democrats smell blood in the water with the 3 or more Gopers who are unwilling to be counted on when the rubber meets the road for close votes such as the Mojorkas impeachment vote. The conniving Dems think they have found a way to parley this in a way to supersede Johnson and actually have Dem Leader Jeffries step in with the gavel for a vote on the Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan Aid Bill.
This brought to you by The National Catholic Reporter:
“House Democrats are prepared to use every available legislative tool to make sure we get comprehensive national security legislation over the finish line,” said Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries last week. It’s about time he unleashed the prospect of a discharge petition in the House of Representatives, forcing a vote on aid to Ukraine and Israel.
…
Jeffries’ words suggest the end may be coming for the miserable Hastert Rule, the unofficial governing norm implemented by former Speaker Danny Hastert that holds the speaker only brings legislation to the floor if it has majority support from his own caucus. Comprehensive immigration reform was broken on this rule, among other important pieces of legislation.
A discharge petition allows a majority of the whole House to bring legislation to the floor, and would, in this fraught moment of political polarization, remind members of Congress that they may represent a district and a party, but they serve the entire country.
What is more, it is a tool to embolden Republicans who do not want to run every vote by the Trump campaign to see if he signs off on it. Donald Trump would rather see Republicans nix aid to Ukraine so he can resume his bromance with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Read more
The Discharge Petition Route is not an easy path but will they try? I bet they will. Rumors started several weeks ago that they were putting this plan in motion. It explains the Dems insistence that the bill remain a “supplemental” as opposed to a stand alone bill.
What is it with this Ukraine? There is more to it, much more and it is dark. Very dark. Just one example that is getting no attention.
says President Biden rejected Russian President Putin’s proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine in late 2023 and early 2024, even as Biden pushed for another $60 billion in assistance to Ukraine to attempt to defeat Russia, a defeat that is unlikely.
The big sell by Biden. Actually the big “tell”
A man who tried to tell the truth. Exchanged the Afghan war for Ukraine.
A point of view that agrees. Majorkas we just learned thanks to a FOIA request, was the one who denied Secret Service protection for Robert Kennedy Jr. Hmmm,
Here us how our man Trump dealt with the grifter Zelensky
Finally a poison pill for Trump which insures the funding for Ukraine goes on and on without a conclusion. The Federalist story follows the tweet.
“The supplemental represents an attempt by the foreign policy blob/deep state to stop President Trump from pursuing his desired policy, and if he does so anyways, to provide grounds to impeach him and undermine his administration,” Vance wrote in a letter sent to congressional Republicans on Monday. “All Republicans should oppose its passage.”
Buried within the supplemental advanced by the Senate is $13.7 billion for the Defense Department’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. As highlighted by Vance, House Democrats impeached Trump in 2019 over the latter’s decision to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine, including “$250 million through the … Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.”
Desperate to damage their primary political opponent, Democrats outlandishly claimed this constituted a “quid-pro-quo” because Trump expressed concern during a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over then-candidate Joe Biden’s family’s corrupt foreign dealings in the European nation.
According to Vance, the aforementioned Ukraine funds “expire on September 30, 2025 — nearly a year into the possible second term of President Trump,” meaning if the Republican president were to follow through on his pledge to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict and halt funding to Kyiv, the supplemental would provide Democrats with the opportunity to launch another bogus impeachment hoax.

Zelensky’s Opening Act at Davos -Courts JPMorgan, Bank of America, Bridgewater CEO’s
Ah, like vultures circling a dead carcass, the millionaires and billionaires feast at the thought of rebuilding Ukraine. Last I heard, Zelensky had not won any war. He too circles Davos, this time for more than armaments, and funding for his government and his people’s pensions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met some of the biggest names in global finance on Tuesday morning on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The Ukrainian leader spoke with JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon, Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman and Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio among others.
This one for laughs and giggles. Haiti 2.0
CGI plans to announce the launch of the CGI Ukraine Action Network, as well as numerous financial pledges, to support nonprofits working in the country.
The CGI Ukraine Action Network is the result of a collaboration between Hillary Clinton and Olena Zelenska, first lady of Ukraine, that began last year. The new organization, which will be formally announced Tuesday, is designed to mobilize existing CGI partners, as well as new leaders from around the world, to create and finance new commitments for Ukrainians, according to CGI. Numerous monetary commitments for Ukraine are also set to be announced Tuesday.
UPDATE:J D Vance exposes the Biden-Clinton cash pipeline to Kiev: “The U.S. is sending the World Bank $25 Billion. And then the World Bank is sending the money to the Clintons. And then the Clintons are sending it to Ukraine
And that friends is the very best of the swamp.
