Biden To Beg Congress For $14B In Israel Aid, $60B For Ukraine As Part Of $105B Package
Earlier Friday we noted that President Biden is planning to divert ammunition from Ukraine to Israel, with Pentagon spox Patrick Ryder insisting "we can support both Ukraine and Israel in terms of their defensive needs."
Now, as announced in a Thursday night primetime address from the Oval Office (Biden's second), the administration is about to approach Congress with a $105 billion package request that will include $60 billion for Ukraine, which the MSM immediately notes is "in line with an annual appropriation to continue US aid."
The administration is also seeking to send $14 billion in Israel aid, which officials say reflects requests Biden received while traveling to the region on Wednesday, as well as $14 billion for border security - a provision meant to appease fractured House Republicans, who are currently working out a new speaker.
The full breakdown of Biden's request is as follows:
$60 billion in funding to Ukraine
$14 billion to Israel
$10 billion in humanitarian aid to Ukraine and around the world
$14 billion for border funding to address drug trafficking and fentanyl
$7 billion for the Indo-Pacific and Taiwan
Biden justified the Israel aid by saying that the terrorist group Hamas, which attacked Israel this month, as well as Russia, "both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy."
"History has taught us that when terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictatorships don’t pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction," said Biden. "We cannot and will not let terrorists like Hamas and tyrants like Putin win --- I refuse to let that happen."

How about we give $105 billion to Hawaii for rebuilding Maui?
About 3000 houses lost approx. Multiplied by 700 a home = 2.1 million for the Maui residents. They got 2.1 million. Let that sink in. Plus they paid way more in taxes than any of these groups receiving billions.
Did you mean billion? 700,000x3000= 2.1 billion.
Still nothing compared to what Zelensky and his cronies got.
I was referring to the fact that every Lahaina resident that lost a home got $700.
Same thing, what was that $1200 in "stimulus" between 2020 and 2021 and they acted like it was the most miraculous good faith donation that the us government has ever provided its citizens in all of history. Like, a gagging type of choking, their brazen backslapping was disgustingly in your face "fuck you, peasants!" All for 2 years to stop the spread bullshit and destruction of all things good.
And they had to jump through hoops, give up their right to sue, to get it.
Wish we could find out how many people accepted it.
Money we have to borrow from China? How about Hawaii rebuilding Maui. They caused it, they can fix it.
Can you imagine borrowing money to lend. It doesn't get any dumber.
Somebody on here was trying to argue it was a good thing. Using his credit card to give money to a friend. Amazing!
Perhaps the delay in electing a SOTH was strategic in order to force the RINO’s into the public spotlight🤔.
Rinos all in on Ukraine..and everyone in on israel .no speaker no money .Mebbe Ukraine will fold by the 17th
Unbelievable. So many are living with zero dollars for food or anything until the next paycheck.
Da Fuk they need all that money for.
They all stole plenty last year.
Mega yachts?
If the entire country refuses to pay taxes. I wonder how they will do then…
That would be great but unfortunately only some of us would be willing to do that and they would pick us off one by one.
Entire states need to do this.
I agree 100%! I would stop paying my taxes tomorrow. I’d claim “exempt” on my W-4 from work. However, nobody else would join me and come tax time, they would pursue me and throw my ass in jail for “tax evasion” even though according to the IRS code, taxes rely on “voluntary compliance”!
That's not exactly true. The thing is that you just have to not contract with the IRS. If you file, that's contracting, and when you self-report your income, that's voluntary compliance. If you lie about your income in order to pay less taxes, that's tax evasion. If you claim exempt and then file and self report honestly and it puts you in the non-exempt category, then you'll owe, because you volunteered that info.
The bottom line is that it's entirely within your rights to get 100% of your entire paycheck up front, and tell your employer that you can handle the responsibility to figure out what to do. They are actually the ones who have the contract with the IRS so the liability is on them UNTIL you self-report, then you become liable.
This isn't legal advice, but that's from all the research I've gathered. I haven't filed in years and no one has come after me.
So, if you tell your employer that you want no taxes taken out and you’ll figure out what to to regarding taxes, your employer will comply? I hear all the time that employers withhold taxes (especially on bonuses) because it is a “mandatory tax withholding” situation. On top of that, what if you work for a governmental organization? I’m pretty sure they will cooperate with the IRS and withhold taxes from your paycheck.
Turn off the spigot.
And we wonder why we dont have a speaker yet
This could be a great strategy to shut off the money flow long enough to achieve the desired impact.

How much does Israel already receive in foreign aid?
I'm starting to think most of it, but then I'm being brainwashed here by Qanon types.
The Donald
Trump took it from 1.8 to 3.9 billion annually. That means. Each year … they run entire welfare programs off our taxes. Ain’t that great?
Disgusting, honestly. Imagine our prosperity if we kept our earnings instead??
That's BILLIONS, folks! Tax-payer funds should go to America First agenda, like building the wall, strengthening military, infrastructure, and prosecuting corrupt politicians!
How about we give $105 billion to southern border.
