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!
