After the grossly bloated $1.7 trillion Omnibus spending bill advanced in the Senate by a vote of 70-25, GOP Senator Rand Paul held a press briefing during which he wheeled in the “abomination” on a trolley and demanded to know how anyone would be able to read it before the end of the week.
Paul, along with the only other dissenting Senate Republicans Mike Braun, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, and Rick Scott highlighted how ludicrous the fast tracking of the bill has been.
Emblazoned on the cart Paul brought the big in on were posters reading “1.7 Trillion of Hazardous Debt,” “Beware debt hazard of 1.7 trillion added to the national debt,” “Greatest threat to our national security: 1.7 trillion added to the debt.”

“I brought with me the omni, 4,155 pages. When was it produced? In the dead of night. 1:30 in the morning it was released,” Paul urged, adding “What is more dangerous to the country? $1.1 Trillion in new debt or as Republican leadership likes to say, “Oh, it is a win! It is a big win. We’re getting $45 billion for the military.”
Paul continued, “So which is more important? Which threatens the country more? Are we at risk of being invaded by a foreign power if we don’t put $45 billion into the military? Are we more at risk by adding to a $31 trillion debt?”
I brought along the 1.7 trillion, 4,000+ page Pelosi-Schumer omnibus spending bill that's being fast-tracked through the Senate. This process stinks. It's an abomination. It's a no good rotten way to run government. We're standing up and saying NO. pic.twitter.com/Wom6xKEeQh

“The process stinks, it is an abomination,” Paul further asserted, adding “It is a no-good rotten way to run your government. [The Federal Government is a] $6 trillion entity, and they want 24 hours to process this and then they want to go forward.”
My budget predictions were close. Only the omnibus unveiled in the dead of night was later, longer, and more expensive than even I imagined.

“I will be demanding two amendments,” Paul noted, explaining, “One, that this goes against the budget rules. The Pay-Go rules say you can’t do this. You can’t have all this new spending unless it is offset. We will also be demanding that the Pay-Go rules are increased instead of taking 6 votes to evade the rules, we’re going to ask that it be a 2/3 vote to evade the rules.”
Q: Are YOU going to hold up this spending bill?

“The American people don’t want this, they’re sick and tired of it. They’re paying for it through the nose with inflation,” Paul further declared, explaining that “Adding a trillion dollars to the deficit will simply fuel the fires that are consuming our wages and retirement plans. It is a terrible system. Someone needs to stand up. We’re standing up and we’re going to say no.”
Paul previously charged that “emasculated” Republicans have “completely and totally abdicated the power of the purse” by going along with the spending bill.
The Senator also posted his own version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’, highlighting the spending bill:

A reporter asked Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday how anyone was supposed to read the bill.
“How is it a functional process to drop a 4,100 page bill this morning and expect a vote on it tomorrow? When most of Congress hasn’t had a chance to review this,” the reporter asked, to which Schumer replied: “The bill has been carefully worked on by the Appropriations Committee for a very, very long time, and most of the provisions of the bill were well known weeks and weeks in advance.”
“Getting this bill done for the American people, which really matters, is the most important thing,” Schumer added.

Meanwhile, those who have had a chance to start reading through the monstrous bill, namely Congressman Dan Bishop’s team (see the thread), have found some mind bending things buried in it:

Senate GOP is poised to pass a $2 trillion Omnibus which includes:

– $45 billion to Ukraine
– $7.5 million in LGBTQ programs
– J6 prosecution funding
– 7500 special interest earmarks
– 3000 pages
– No border security
Who needs Democrats when you have Republicans like these?
This is absolutely insane. https://t.co/gdBsM5WJj2

In addition to giving an extra $45 billion to Ukraine, the Omnibus will also fund the creation of a "Ukrainian Independence Park" in Washington, DC

Proud Boys Sedition Trial Suspended AGAIN After Feds Admit Defense Witness Was An FBI Informant

The Proud Boys sedition trial was suspended for a second time on Wednesday after the feds admitted in court that a witness intimately involved in the Proud Boys defense team was secretly an FBI informant.

So prosecutors knew back in December that defense planned to call this person as a witness. For 3 months, not only did Graves' office refuse to disclose the witness was an FBI informant, the individual continued to work as an informant, spying on defense, during trial prep.

From The Epoch Times, “Did FBI Informant Spy on Proud Boys Defendants and Their Jan. 6 Trial Attorneys?”:
Defense attorneys in the Proud Boys seditious-conspiracy trial in Washington D.C. learned late March 22 that one of their own defense witnesses who was about to testify had worked as an FBI informant for at least 22 months.
They asked for an emergency hearing before U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly and filed a motion to compel the U.S. Department of Justice to disclose if the witness has been spying on the defense team.
Judge Kelly suspended the trial until March 24 and converted March 23 from a day of testimony into a motions hearing.
Zachary Rehl, one of five Proud Boys defendants, filed a motion on behalf of his co-defendants seeking a court order to compel prosecutors to disclose any recordings or reports made by confidential human sources (CHS)—informants—about the defendants and their attorneys.
Defense attorney Carmen Hernandez said the information given to the defense team on March 22 raises “serious and substantiated allegations of governmental misconduct surrounding the surreptitious invasion and interference of the defense team by the government through a confidential human source, at the government’s behest.”
Judge Kelly ordered prosecutors to file a response to the motion by 1 p.m. EDT on March 23. A hearing on the matter will begin at 3 p.m.
The trial began Dec. 19, 2022, in U.S. District Court. Prosecutors wrapped up their case on March 17.
Defense Witness was Prosecution Informant
After the close of testimony on March 22, prosecutors disclosed that a witness on the defense list who was due in court on March 23 had worked as an FBI informant from April 2021 through to at least January 2023.
“During this period of time, the CHS [informant] has been in contact via telephone, text messaging, and other electronic means, with one or more of the counsel for the defense and at least one defendant,” the motion said.
“The CHS also participated in prayer meetings with members of one or more of the defendants’ families. The CHS also engaged in discussions with one of the defendant’s family members about replacing one of the defense counsel.”
Judge Kelly should have thrown the case out rather than suspend it.
The evidence is now overwhelming that the feds are hiding exculpatory evidence from the defense and denying the Proud Boys their right to a fair trial.

Video: Rand Paul Grills Blinken On Stonewalling Of COVID Origin Investigation
“You won’t help us investigate this.”

Senator Rand Paul grilled Secretary of State Antony Blinken Wednesday, accusing the State Department of engaging in a lack of transparency when it comes to providing documents related to the ongoing probe of the origins of COVID.
Paul asked Blinken why documents related to funding of coronavirus research have not been provided to him despite repeated requests.
The Senator told Blinken that he had requested the material “on September 12th and November 7th of last year.”
“My question is, what’s the State Department hiding?” Paul asked, adding “Why won’t you give these records to the American people?”
“There’s a difference between can and may,” Paul continued, adding “You won’t do it, but you can do it.”
Blinken responded “My understanding is that our teams have been working to find an accommodation,” adding he hopes to “find a way forward that answers your concerns so that you get the information that you’re looking for.”
“We’re talking about unclassified material,” Paul shot back, adding “most of this is unclassified. And so we just had a unanimous vote in the Senate and in the House and President Biden just signed a bill saying he’s going to declassify stuff. But if you declassify it and you still hide it from the American people, that’s a problem.”
The Senator continued, “We spend all of this time lambasting authoritarians for lack of transparency, we have these silly networks on TV that are aligned with the Democrat Party saying democracy is under attack. Well, do you think transparency has something to do with democracy? You’re refusing to give records on research, money that went for research.”
“We want to read the research grant proposals. We want to read what the people in Wuhan sent back to the State Department saying they did. Which viruses did they create?” Paul further urged.
“And yet you won’t help us investigate this. You refuse and it makes — it is reminiscent of the countries we criticize for lack of transparency. And yet you sit there and say you’re still going to continue to refuse,” Paul asserted.
Blinken tried to squirm out of the grilling by saying he doesn’t have the expertise to comment, prompting Paul to respond “We don’t want to hear your spin.”
“We can’t just accept your spin on it because people — there may be self-interested the people who funded the program. We’re just asking to look at the data. But so far it has been no. We’ve had a few phone calls, but we don’t want your spin on it. We want to look at the documents ourselves,” Paul emphasised.

Video: MSNBC Panel Says That Criticising George Soros In Any Way Is “DANGEROUS”
“It definitely feels like a dog whistle that is dangerous.”

During a discussion on the potential Trump indictment, an MSNBC panel claimed that Trump supporters, and anyone else for that matter, are “dangerous” for criticising George Soros.
Perpetual race baiting grifter Joy Reid turned to former CIA officer Tracy Walder, and said “The fact that they keep throwing George Soros’ name, we’ve talked a lot in our show meetings, is it definitely feels like a dog whistle that is dangerous.”
Walder replied, “It absolutely feels like a dog whistle that’s dangerous.”
She continued, “Look, most of these groups, the Oath Keepers, Boogaloo Boys, Proud Boys, they all subscribe to what you are all referring to as the great replacement theory.”
“This is why we see these spikes in racism and anti-semitism,” and “they are ascribing to this belief and it’s stoking this division,” Walder added.
She then suggested that “Trump has for multiple years now called for a civil war.”
There were no actual facts provided as to why criticising George Soros’ manipulation of U.S. politics and culture is racist.
Watch:
Of course, Joy Reid and MSNBC are going to propagandise for Soros, given that he pumps millions into Democrat election campaigns, as well as “black-led justice organizations”.
Is journalist Glenn Greenwald a dangerous racist for pointing out how Soros continually seeks to control the reality narrative?
All three of these billionaires — Soros, Hoffman and Omidyar — fund groups and outlets that aggressively spread disinformation. The idea that *they* are going to use their vast wealth to police the internet in the name of keeping us safe is laughable.https://t.co/vuBB5Gj4VV

— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 21, 2023
The problem is managers know why he funds, and they adapt to his beliefs.
The reason TI degraded into an outpost of DNC talking points and Russiagate insanity isn't because Omidyar demanded it. It's because top editors (Betsy Reed, Roger Hodge) got huge salaries and were petrified they'd lose it unless they promoted his views. That's how it works.
