Little-noted this wk: While McCarthy was all budget-cutting bravado in debt-limit talks with Biden, the House Appropriations panel canceled votes on 4 bills that must fill in gory details of the cuts the GOP is demanding. Divided Rs didn't have the votes. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
2/ Some Rs predictably balk when they have to ID & vote for the actual cuts; the crazies on the committee want more. In short, GOP is threatening a default & the chaos to follow by demanding spending cuts that they would have a hard time selling to their own divide members.
@CindiLewHoo @jackiekcalmes @carlquintanilla Christ, ya could say the same about the left.
@jackiekcalmes Just say no. Isn't that what Nancy Reagan said? x.com/pewtergod/stat…

@jackiekcalmes Omg I can,t belief it , both parties cut throat on the ones who don,t overspend especially veterans !or seniors . Taking everyone off Medicaid . Before reminiscing on 2020 . Look at watch dog reports . So psychologically game , be glade we get what we put in !
@MickPea @jackiekcalmes @AOC Why do other countries want to buy out farmland, with great rates not even farm . Forced farmers to sell out . Mike Pence said it right, that needs to stop in Indiana . So we keep thinking having other counties do things cheaper . Huh . 2023 covid in indiana hit a record 👆
@jackiekcalmes Keven McCarthy good luck with both sides . You have my blessings . Both parties had plenty if time to decide spending cuts . In 2020 I was warned of Medicare cuts . I have 3 autoimmune. One out of 3 was removed from list . I was discouraged by SS . Decided not to try .
It's concerning how worldly Christians can inadvertently undermine Christ's authority in politics, creating division and dysfunction. Unbeknownst to them, they may become workers of iniquity, contributing to spiritual attacks clothed as political strategies. Propaganda and sensationalism are often utilized to exploit our empathy, leading to compromise in our spiritual integrity. It's understandable, given our natural inclination towards compassion, but we must recall that Christ never promised a life devoid of suffering. Our discernment, a crucial spiritual tool, can be seduced and perverted by worldliness. As followers of Christ, it's crucial we resist this influence, anchoring our discernment in Christ's authority rather than personal feelings or societal pressure. Let's trust in Christ, rely on His authority, and carefully discern the truth amidst the noise. Remember, our political engagements should reflect Christ's love, justice, and peace above worldly ambitions. #ChristAuthorityInPolitics 🙏✝️
@jackiekcalmes Nothing @SpeakerMcCarthy says matters. His aim is to bring on a default. He is a terrible leader and should be voted out of office.
@jackiekcalmes @AOC All congress personal investments need to be tracked RIGHT NOW. Whatever they are investing in or withdrawing from now will give many clues to what only they know is going to happen in August.
@jackiekcalmes They can get the votes to increase the debt ceiling, anytime they like. They just have to go across the aisle to do so. Hell hath no fury like a social security recipient who did not get their check. Will the Republicans risk a default? I think not.
