Watchman: We Have Been Sold Out By The Ones We Trusted–The Only Question Remaining,How Will You Negotiate The Biblical Tribulations!
By SRH,On March 22, the House successfully passed a bill worth $1.2 trillion, skillfully avoiding a looming deadline to provide full funding for 70 percent of the government. The final count stood at 286-134, with 112 Republicans and 23 Democrats voting against the bill. This crucial legislation was passed just in the nick of time, as the March 23 midnight deadline approached, ensuring that a partial government shutdown was averted. Interestingly, the bill was unveiled only yesterday, but it managed to secure approval through an expedited process that necessitates a two-thirds majority for passage. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) even went a step further by waiving the House rule that typically grants members 72 hours to review legislation before voting on it.
House Passes Pork-Filled Bill To Fully Fund Government
by Tyler Durden
Update (1150ET): With just hours to go before a shutdown, the House has passed the $1.2 trillion minibus bill, which will now head to the Senate.
All 100 Senators will need to agree to a vote to pass the bill before midnight. If this fails to happen, the government would be forced into a partial shutdown on Saturday morning.
President Biden has urged Congress to pass it quickly so he can sign.
“This hasn’t been a perfect process. But we should never let the perfect be the enemy of the good,” said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in response to the House passage. “This is a good result for the American people.”
The bill funds the departments of Homeland Security, State, Labor, Defense, Health and Human Services, among other things. Combined with the $459 billion bill passed earlier this month, the latest funding packages fully fund the federal government to the tune of $1.659 trillion through September, NBC reports.
House Freedom Caucus member Chip Roy (R-TX) railed against the fact that members only had around 24 hours to review the bill – and attacked his fellow Republicans for failing to secure immigration wins.

“My Republican colleagues cannot go campaign against mass parole and use the name of Laken Riley, because you pass a bill in her name, when you fund the very policies that lead to her death,” said Roy on the House floor. “Any of my Republican colleagues you want to spend this year campaigning against open borders — it’s a laugh. Because today, if you vote for this abomination of a bill, you will be voting to fund it. You will be voting to fund the very policies that you will campaign against.”
In short, Democrats bailed out Johnson once again – the same move which resulted in the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

House GOP leaders are struggling with the funding bill, as Speaker Johnson needs at least 100 GOP votes in order to pass it today, Punchbowl News‘ Jake Sherman reports.
The concerns at hand are not yet at a critical level, but they are quickly escalating. The vote count during Thursday’s early afternoon session fell short of the House Republican leadership’s expectations. Despite this setback, leadership aides remain confident that they will secure enough votes to meet the two-thirds majority required to pass this 1,000-page bill. While a partial government shutdown is set to begin at midnight, its full impact may not be felt until Monday.
Many House Republicans are troubled by the lack of stringent border security measures in the package, its hefty price tag, the secretive negotiation process, and the absence of a pay raise for Congressional members. Conservative members, in particular, are voicing their discontent, as they generally oppose spending bills and are particularly displeased with Speaker Mike Johnson’s role in this matter.
In the midst of this turmoil, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has taken action by filing a motion to remove Mike Johnson from his position as speaker.
Pork City
As usual, Democrats slipped in as much pork as possible, including:
– $850k for a gay senior home
– $15 million to pay for Egyptian’s college tuitions
– $400k for a gay activist group to teach elementary kids about being trans
– $500k for a DEI zoo
– $400k for a group to gives clothes to teens to help them hide their gender
About that $400k for clothes – that includes giving 13-year-old children chest binders, tuck equipment, and “counseling” without parental consent.
