The House under Speaker Mike Johnson on Saturday passed a $95 billion giveaway to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan combined with a ban on TikTok for allowing criticism of Israel to go viral.

The REPO Act to steal frozen Russian assets and give them to Ukraine was also included in the mega-bill.

Despite previous promises to tie Ukraine funding to securing America's southern border, zero funds were included for US border security.

This is a truly monumental, historic swindle foisted on the public by "MAGA Mike Johnson," the GOP and the Israel Lobby with Donald Trump not only doing nothing to stop it but openly and publicly signaling his support for Johnson.

Here is the “opposition” leader Donald Trump saying that Speaker Mike Johnson is doing a good job.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was absolutely giddy over the GOP deciding to give Israel over $26 billion in aid from struggling US taxpayers instead of the $14 billion Biden previously asked for ($17 billion is going to Israel directly and the other $9 billion is going to shore up the humanitarian disaster they caused in Gaza).

The US Congress just overwhelmingly passed a much appreciated aid bill that demonstrates strong bipartisan support for Israel and defends Western civilization. Thank you friends, thank you America!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was similarly thrilled to get nearly $61 billion:

Today, we received the awaited decision on the US aid package that we long fought for. And a very significant one. Our warriors on the front lines, as well as our cities and villages suffering from Russian terror, will feel it.

Democrats could be seen waving Ukrainian flags on the House floor after the vote:

All Democrats waiving Ukrainian flags on your House floor when the bill passed sending another 60B of your treasure to fund the war machine.

Johnson is sharing the GOP Speakership with Democrats.

To bring Ukraine spending up for a vote, he made a deal with Democrats on the procedural vote.

Then he passed the bill today with every Democrat voting YEA and a majority of Republicans voting NAY.https://t.co/5d1QLOgmEy pic.twitter.com/hbN7voL9xL

The Israel Lobby celebrated while Americans mourned:

The House just passed $14.3 billion in vital emergency funding for Israel—the largest US security aid package in Israel’s history, including $3.5 billion for security assistance to Israel with no added conditions.

"The swamp tasked Mike Johnson with three betrayals of America," Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said on Twitter. "1) pass an omnibus that spends more than Pelosi's omnibus. 2) reauthorize domestic spying without warrants. 3) send $100 billion to wars around the world."

He's now done all three.

Michael Tracey shared a ton of videos of our sold-out Congress congratulating themselves for defeating Hitler by passing this giant swindle for Americans.

"Evil is on the march! History is calling! And now is the time to act!" declares Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX). He says Congress has an opportunity today to do the equivalent of "stopping Hitler" in the 1930s

Like so many of his colleagues, Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) swiftly reverts to the emotional blackmail of World War II quasi-history to bully everyone into voting for the mammoth war funding bill. That's all they have. Not one of these people will make a rational, reasoned argument pic.twitter.com/P1Aab64DE1

Nancy Pelosi "salutes" Speaker Mike Johnson (and by extension, Donald Trump) for making the war legislation possible. She says anyone who votes against Ukraine funding will have the blood of raped Ukrainian women on their hands. Real sicko stuff here -- but thoroughly bipartisan pic.twitter.com/bE1RScQWa8

What the hell is Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) even talking about here? She chastises unknown people who want to "retreat from Asia under the guise of America First." But virtually all her colleagues who scream "America First" are rabid anti-China zealots. So many layers of stupidity pic.twitter.com/bVkZE6KgIk

Oh my God. Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) quotes "the visionary Ben Shapiro" for his rousing defense of Speaker Mike Johnson this week.

These people truly have mush for brains. They all flip a switch and recite the same "World War II Mad Libs" featuring Chamberlain and Churchill -- then that's their entire argument for pumping out $100 billion in war funding. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) might as well be lobotomized pic.twitter.com/0FN6Lq2N20

These people are dangerously deluded. They're convinced that their melodramatic Churchill impersonations will "reverberate through history." Rep.

Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL) declares, "Israel's security is our security."

As I previously reported, the TikTok ban -- which members of Congress said specifically was revived not to fight China but to silence criticism of Israel -- gives the president blanket authority to ban not only TikTok but also other apps like Telegram which allow Americans to exercise the free speech rights they're denied by Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter.

The Wall Street Journal reported in March that a group of Zionist investors led by former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick and OpenAI's Sam Altman are scheming to buy TikTok once the sale is forced. CNBC also reported in March that former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, another diehard Zionist, is also organizing a team of investors to buy the site.

Every single value Conservatives have claimed to represent, from free speech to free enterprise and free markets, has been thrown out the window to advance the interests of Israel and support their genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinians.
