Staff Reports
The House of Representatives worked its magic once again to avert a government shutdown, passing yet another continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government running smoothly. These CRs are like band-aids for a government that can’t seem to get its act together and stick to a budget. It’s like watching a reality TV show where the drama never ends!
The Republicans are at it again, trying to point out the flaws in these temporary fixes. Why keep delaying the inevitable, kicking the can down the road, and spending money we don’t have? It’s like going to a buffet and constantly going back for more even though you’re already full. Chip Roy from Texas isn’t holding back in expressing his frustration with the wasteful spending habits of Congress. It’s like a never-ending cycle of spending more and more, thanks to Nancy Pelosi and her crew.
The House has passed its latest, fourth continuing resolution for this fiscal year. Now, the first govt. shutdown deadline is on March 8. However, the bill also makes reforms to student aid. What exactly? Read my story in The @DailyCaller to find out. https://t.co/XoCk3U197M

And then we have Matt Gaetz comparing House Republicans to a football team that can only punt and block. Ouch! The Republicans have a majority but are still following the spending habits of Biden and Pelosi. It’s like having all the power but not using it for good. Where’s the backbone to stand up and say, “Enough is enough?”
Some Republicans are bravely pushing for negotiations with Democrats for conservative priorities like border security, a crucial issue that should be front and center. But alas, the Democrats and Biden are not playing ball, and the Republicans are left hanging. It’s like trying to dance with someone who won’t even get off their chair.
And let’s not forget Andy Biggs from Arizona, who is tired of the executive branch not following the law. The way to show them who’s boss? Cut their spending! Less money means less mischief. It’s like a parent taking away a toy when a child misbehaves – simple yet effective.
In the end, it seems like the House is just playing a game of hot potato with the country’s budget. Pass a bill, go home for the weekend, and let someone else deal with it next week. Thomas Massie from Kentucky isn’t holding back with his criticism, calling out the lack of order and the never-ending drama in Washington. It’s like watching a bad soap opera that never gets canceled.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is silent on the matter, probably because he knows he’s presiding over a circus that just keeps on going. The show must go on, but at what cost? It’s time for some real leadership and a budget plan that actually makes sense. Let’s hope the next act in this political theater brings some much-needed change – and a bit of sanity!
