Quote:
Congress is—yet again—preparing to spend nearly $2 trillion of taxpayers’ dollars in a massive omnibus spending bill.

This is, sadly, just scratching the surface of the waste in the latest massive federal budget.
$791,000 to Sonoma County for equitable energy resilience (Calfornia) (?)
$100,000 for eelgrass education (New Hampshire) (?)
$3 million for research on wild blueberry production for changing markets and climates (Maine)
$575,000 thousand for a mobile buffalo meat processing unit (New Mexico)
$3.6 million for a Michelle Obama trail project (Georgia)
$3 million to the New York Historical Society for a partnership project with the American LGBTQ+ Museum (New York)
$1.5 million for a LGBTQ+ Community Center Project (New York)
$856,000 to the LGBT Center for facilities and equipment (New York)
$750,000 for services for LGBT and the “gender nonconforming” in Albany (New York)
$960,000 for oyster research to enhance resilience (Maryland) (?)
$185,000 for oyster restoration in the St. Mary’s River Shellfish Sanctuary (Maryland)
$2 million for equitable artificial intelligence (Maryland) (?)
Many of these wasteful provisions are humorous, but there’s nothing funny about a $7,400 inflation tax, America’s $31.3 trillion of debt, and two parties in Congress that refuse to address that debt.
The trillions wasted is bad enough. Its worse that it’s taxpayer money, used without our consent on useless crap. The worst of all, though, is that so much of it is to advance our “progress” into the Brave New World in which the State perverts our children and destroys our families.

In a classic example of why the American people distrust, if not actually loathe their so-called “representatives” in Washington, a Congress that no longer has a mandate to represent anybody is about to foist upon its successor, and the rest of us, a monster.
The bipartisan congressional leadership call this 4,000-page, nearly two trillion dollar legislation “The Omnibus.” It’s actually “The Omnivorous” – for its unsustainable spending, its radical leftist policies and other mandates will consume everything in sight: Our national creditworthiness. The dollar’s reserve status. 2020 voters’ preferences. And our surviving constitutional freedoms.
The collusion of the political establishment’s radical leftist Democrats and controlled-opposition Republicans have brought us this disaster. Those who actually represent us must use every tactic possible to ensure there’s no “long-term” spending bill until after a new Congress is seated in thirteen days.
The only way to end spat death (baby oysters) is to completely stop the holes in the sewer systems of our major cities (Dem run)…they simply flow into the Chesapeake Bay. And…fix by dredging out the gawd-damned Conowingo Dam that floods the Bay from Pennsylvania.
I don’t know anything about AI, but I do know that it isn’t equitable. It will kill all humans, no matter what skin color, ethnicity, gender, or class.
“After selling out their base on marriage and gun control, Senate Republicans decided to finish out 2022 by helping Democrats pass a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package on Thursday that will keep the federal government funded through the end of 2023.
By helping Democrats pass an omnibus instead of a short-term funding package, Senate Minority Leader McConnell and Senate GOP leadership have erased any and all leverage the House’s incoming Republican majority would have over spending issues for most of 2023. This means conservative priorities, such as fixing President Joe Biden’s manufactured border crisis, will go unaddressed for another year.”
