Trump Administration Requests $88 Billion To Pay For Iran War

After targeting everything from screwworm monitoring funding, Medicaid, NOAA and nuclear safety engineers at the Department of Energy, the Trump administration is going hat in hand to Congress to ask for $88 billion dollars to help pay for Trump’s war with Iran for Israel.

FOX News:

“The Pentagon’s massive funding request to pay some of the costs of the Iran war is going to be a hard sell for Senate Democrats, and a key issue buried deep in the multibillion-dollar request could divide Republicans. 

Congress received the nearly $88 billion package Wednesday afternoon after months of speculation about whether it would ever come, and exactly how much it would cost. The current price tag is drastically lower than earlier estimates, which project the package could reach as high as $200 billion. 

But after roughly four months and a tenuous peace deal in place, Democrats appear unwilling to support the funding that would replenish munitions, despite sweeteners that appear geared toward attracting their support. …”

I deeply regret pushing the meme that conservatism was changing.

  • A war with Iran for Israel … literally the white whale that neocons and Jewish donors have been chasing for over twenty years and which had zero popular support. Trump delivered Bibi Netanyahu and John McCain’s dream
  • An even bigger corporate tax cut
  • Regime change ops in Venezuela and Cuba
  • Broken promises on “mass deportations”
  • The usual culture war performance art
  • Selling pardons to wealthy criminals
  • The Epstein files cover up
  • Purging the Republican Congress for AIPAC and the RJC of anyone who criticizes Israel. The people who wanted to expose pedophiles were held accountable
  • High gas prices purely because of Israel
  • Big promises to rein in spending translate into asking for a $1.5 trillion dollar military budget and cuts to social safety net programs
  • Doubled down on higher inflation after lying about bringing down prices
  • Congress obsessing over “antisemitism” while doing virtually nothing about the economy and inflation which are the priority of voters.

Trump 2.0 wasn’t different from previous Republican administrations.

Scott Greer:

“The wait is finally over.

Whitepill: The Online Right and the Making of Trump’s America is officially available to order through the Passage Press store. It will be available next month on Amazon and other fine sellers. If you want to read it now, buy it through Passage.

The book explains how Alt Right ideas went mainstream and took over the conservative movement. It no longer makes sense to speak of a “Dissident Right” when its ideas are spread by the White House and the most popular conservative commentators.

This argument is controversial. Right-wing critics allege that conservatism and the GOP are the same as ever. The only change is that the Online Right got “tricked” into thinking they may have made a difference. Dissidents can only overcome this treachery by… voting Democrat and moving into the woods… or something. While the grand alternative to normal politics remains shaky at best, the conclusion is that everything that’s happened over the last ten years has been a waste. The American Right is the same as it ever was. …”

Shortly after the Alex Bruesewitz interview with Tucker Carlson went live, the war with Iran flared back up again with new strikes by the U.S. military and retaliatory strikes by Iran.

CNN:

“The US military conducted strikes on Friday against Iranian military targets around the Strait of Hormuz in response to Tehran’s Thursday attack against a commercial vessel near the key waterway, according to US Central Command.

“US aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites,” CENTCOM said. “The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire.”

CENTCOM released video Friday night of one of the strikes on Iranian targets. ….”

It is almost like the Trump administration wanted to underscore my point that it can’t be trusted on Iran, there is no reason to believe the MoU is a permanent end of the war and that Israel could easily drag us back in and it could flare back up again and get much worse.

    Three guesses who owns both houses of Clowngress and all members thereof? The ‘hat in hand’ routine is some kind of gaslight media show for idiots. If he wants money to be appropriated all he needs to do is call up Miriam of some other Satanic POS he serves every day and tell her ‘you need to order your retarded hos in the Capitol bordello to shake loose with some cash so I can pay yo’ boy Satanyahoo and others who be axin’ fo’ cash. The D-jersey “resistance” will fold on the issue faster than a cheap aluminum lawn-chair.

  2. “You can’t just walk up to Capitol Hill and say ‘Here’s the bill. Go print some money to pay for it.'” – sure he/they can. Where have you been Steve-O – that’s how the President, Congress, the Fed and the Treasury have been functioning since the 80s.

  3. So let’s parse this a little…. some very good points made by HW.

    > The Epstein files cover up
    > Purging the Republican Congress for AIPAC and the RJC of anyone who criticizes Israel. The people who wanted to expose pedophiles were held accountable

    And now let’s take a look at what the AIPAC controlled step-n-fetchits on the Clowngressional committee devoted to doing something about the Epstein mess just pulled with one of the biggest shitbags to emerge from the files – billionaire Leon Black, a guy with a neck just made for a millstone:

    * Your fine APIAC-owned Clowngress at work

    Like Gates and Fauci, Black walks in knowing damned well that nothing whatsoever will be done. Both D-jerseys and R-jerseys are on the committee. Mama C talks about the need to ‘have a seat at the table’. She even makes a rather compelling case, both here and here. Rather difficult, nay impossible, when there is a single totally controlled (by AIPAC, et al) fake-and-gay “opposition” party. He recommendation might have worked 20 years ago.

  4. Just to prove my point about who owns the whole enchilada, here are the two largest donors for the 2026 mid-terms:

    * For the D-jersey squad of the Pizza-Party: (((George Soros))) at 102 million.

    * For the R-jersey squad of the Pizza-Party: (((Ben Horowitz))) at 91.2 million.

    A system like this is not reformable. It has to be destroyed and burned to the ground.

  5. Tucker wheeled out a liar, which is an about face to his recent anti-war rhetoric. Is he trying to cozy back up to MAGA?

  6. I was sitting on an airplane today and an old couple came down the isle. She had on a red MAGA hat. Her husband (presumably) had on a hat Celebrating 250 year birthday of America. The man sat on my row and watched Fox news for the whole trip. Probably taken every class at Prager U and every free Hillsdale College lesson. Probably wants to preserve our Judeo-Christian heritage, lol.

  7. Trump has gone from promising a Golden Age to saying we must suffer for the glorious Military Industrial Complex!

    Screw that I will happily run into the arms of the nearest Democratic Socialist who promises to do the exact opposite of what the Orange Failure does! Impeach and remove Trump.

    Quote: ““It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things,” Trump said. “They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country.””

  8. >>> The current price tag is drastically lower than earlier estimates, which project the package could reach as high as $200 billion.

    Who says this is the final request ?

  9. Gas is down 20 cents where I’m at since the MoU was signed. I don’t trust Israel to stop agitating in Lebanon, so I took advantage of the drop.

    I doubt this will be settled within the stated 60 days. Another full-on blockade wouldn’t be shocking. Get your ducks in a row while things are still calm.

  10. Typical democrat, moaning and mooing about the “Safety Net ” programs, I.E., the communist programs.

    Trump at 46%, even though he read your posts and tried to prove you wrong.

    Most of the world saw this weekend what he was up to, starting a civil war in Lebanon. It’s good you didn’t post anything about that!

  11. Need to build a united Front to resist Israeli extortion (and other e.g. Big Pharma extortion). I am a Christian and Republican but I support Cenk’s platform to create a constituional amendment for campaign reform. Join and support, make this your own.
