GOP Reacts to Biden Exempting Ukraine Aid from Government Shut Dow

Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet

If it weren't already obvious how much President Joe Biden caters to every other country but the United States, it would be now. 

Republicans oppose the Pentagon's decision to exempt Ukraine aid from a potential U.S. government shutdown, expressing their frustration at the Biden Administration's actions to put Americans last.

The possibility of an impending government shutdown nears as the September 30 deadline approaches. Disputes about future spending have prevented party lines from reaching an agreement that will continue to fund the government before the end of the fiscal year.

Following Friday's announcement, Republicans were outraged, saying the move shows the Biden Administration prioritizes foreign countries over Americans.

Leah Barkoukis / Townhall Tipsheet

The Republican National Committee announced new polling and donor benchmarks on Friday that presidential candidates must reach in order to qualify for the third debate in Miami on Nov. 8.

GOP candidates must receive 4 percent support in two national surveys or 4 percent in an early state poll from two separate states. The polls must be conducted on or after Sept. 1, and candidates must meet these requirements no later than 48 hours before the debate. Placement on the debate stage will depend on their polling numbers. 

On fundraising, candidates must have at least 70,000 unique donors, with a minimum of 200 unique donors per state or territory in 20 or more states. Again, evidence of meeting this requirement must be shown two days ahead of the debate.

Biden praises wrong group during speech at Congressional Hispanic Caucus' annual gala

Marking his third gaffe in two days, Biden praised the 'Congressional Black Caucus' during an event for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus

Lawrence Richard / Fox News

 

President Biden complimented the merits of the "Congressional Black Caucus" during a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Thursday, his third public speaking gaffe in just two days.

Biden, 80, made the mishap during a speech at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 46th Annual Gala in Washington, D.C., as he celebrated gala award recipient Sister Norma Pimental, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. 

He said: "I know Sister Norma lives the lessons nuns taught me growing up. Lessons based on the Gospel of Matthew: feed the hungry, care for the sick, welcome strangers. They echo what my dad taught me, and I mean this sincerely, my dad used to say, ‘Everyone, everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.’ The Congressional Black Caucus embodies all those values."

The Biden Admin's Next Plans for Illegal Aliens Should Scare You 

Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet

Not only is the Biden Administration rolling out the red carpet for illegal aliens, but they are going to make immigrants' time in the U.S. more accessible for them to stay without the chances of being deported. 

According to a report from Fox News, the Department of Homeland Security plans to provide hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants with photo ID cards before they are released into the United States. 

The Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-issued ID cards will contain a photograph, biographic identifiers, and what ICE calls "cutting-edge security features to the mutual benefit of the government and noncitizens."

Last year, ICE announced the "Secure Docket Program" to "modernize" forms of ID for illegal aliens in the U.S. awaiting their court dates— which can be years later.

Someone Else Has Flipped Against Trump

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Besides the many charges facing former President Donald Trump, which number nearly 100, there’s ample fear that some entangled in these legal actions might flip. It’s already happened in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified document case, where Yuscil Taveras, who was previously Trump’s “director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago,” recanted his initial testimony in August—and now claims there was an effort to destroy evidence and bury surveillance tapes. It’s not a good development, but with these trials starting months from now, these details will get lost amid other pressing news. But rest assured, they will be rehashed. 

 

In Georgia’s 2020 RICO case against Trump, Lin Wood, one of the most vocal election lawyers who ran afoul on some of his theories about the last presidential election, has decided to turn state’s evidence (via CNBC): 

 

"Lin Wood, an attorney and vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, is a witness for the Atlanta district attorney in her prosecution of Trump and his allies over their efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss in Georgia, a new...Read more and see Xs here.
