GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN???
With all the other hoopla … the fact that there is NO Budget and NO Continuing Resolution passed has not been in the headlines.
The deadline for funding the government is September 30, 2024. If Congress fails to pass a funding measure by then, a shutdown will occur on October 1.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced plans to vote on a partisan stopgap measure today. This includes a six-month continuing resolution (CR) linked to the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voting. That is a non-starter for most Democrats and a few Republicans.
Of Course, Democrats blame the Republicans in the House and the Republicans blame the Democrats in the Senate.. Although, Mitch McConnell is in favor of SOME kind of deal saying, “A shutdown is bad, at any point” …
Now, YOU ALL know how I feel — SHUT ‘ER the EFF DOWN !!!
You could get rid of 25% of the Federal Government and no one would notice except the people that got laid off. .. You keep Federal Police and essential workers.. and everyone else goes home.. and NO BACK PAY!!!
and…
Also Government ..

BZZZZZZZZ - BOOM … in Beirut .. and Syria..
(AP) — Hundreds of handheld pagers exploded near simultaneously in parts of Lebanon and Syria yesterday, killing at least twelve people — including members of the militant group Hezbollah and a young girl — and wounding several thousand. They pointed the finger at Israel in what appeared to be a sophisticated, remote attack.
Among those wounded was Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon. The mysterious incident came amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, which have exchanged fire across the Israel-Lebanon border since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that sparked the war in Gaza.
If you’re saying to yourself, “Pagers? Who the EFF uses Pagers anymore??” The pagers that exploded had been newly acquired by Hezbollah after the group’s leader ordered members to stop using cell phones, warning they could be tracked by Israeli intelligence. A Hezbollah official told The AP the pagers were a new brand the group had not used before.
Hezbollah has has vowed a “reckoning” with Israel.. (Uhh.. Aren’t they already at war with Israel??) ..

Hillary: Uhh… Hillary? Uhh.. Hill-Gurl??.. You DO know that it means YOU…. Right?
Hillary Clinton went on TV and said… I kid you not .. That people should be PUT IN JAIL for spreading “Russian Propaganda” .. The conversation was about how some “Russian entities” were working with pod casters and news organizations to push ideas that could influence US elections.
Her exact words? .. “I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases, criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrence.”..
I am not kidding.. She SAID THAT…
So.. “Russian Propaganda” .. That MIGHT influence an election? .. and if you promote .. or your campaign PAYS FOR IT .. and you push it to EVERYONE YOU CAN.. Then you should be CHARGED?
LOOK IN THE MIRROR, WOMAN!!! THAT WAS YOU!!! . ALL YOU… By your standards now, YOU SHOULD BE CHARGED!!!
The STEELE DOSSIER? That you LIED about.. and was then found to be put together by Clinton operatives and BOUGHT. When investigated by the DOJ, Steele’s primary source, a US-based foreign policy analyst, repeatedly lied to the FBI about where he got his information.
Lemme ask you, Hil .. where should this new “arrest for posting things” charge stand .. better or worse than destroying emails and servers .. when they were under subpoena?? Asking for a friend…
and..
That’s it … Slow news day …

Forget Facebook ads .. Forget ad videos on TikTok .. If you want to promote a film .. You just have Ana de Armas open her mouth .. The new film “Eden” was filmed in the Galapagos Islands and is a semi-true story of “survival in paradise” but is also being billed as a “Thriller” .. I’m sure the producers and owners of the film were NOT upset at Ana for revealing one of the plots of the films.
Ana .. HERE.. told the press that she and Sydney Sweeney .. HERE.. have a “Crazy threesome scene” in the movie. Now, THAT will get the boys in the seats … and.. Daniel Bruhl and Jude Law will get the ladies watching .. so.. Seems like Box office GOLD!!
