Senate Passes Trump-Backed Funding Bill, BUT …

The government will still shut down tonight …
The US Senate passed the funding compromise negotiated by the White House by a vote of 71-29 tonight, however the government will still partially shut down tonight until the House can reconvene on Monday to pass it again because of changes made in the Senate.
The deal is what we told you it was early on, with everything passing except for the DHS funding bill, will has a two-week extension for negotiation.
Here’s more from Fox 8:
The Senate voted overwhelmingly Friday to pass a major funding package consisting of five regular appropriations bills and a two-week stopgap measure for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) but the legislation won’t become law before parts of the government shut down at midnight.
The 71-29 vote caps a week of Senate drama after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, sparking a public backlash against the tactics of federal immigration enforcement officers and pushing Democrats to oppose the DHS funding bill that was part of a six-bill funding package.
Democrats vowed to block the entire funding package that had been carefully negotiated over months between Republican and Democratic members of the Appropriations Committee, putting Congress on course for what some lawmakers feared would be another prolonged government shutdown.
But senators managed to save the funding package by negotiating a last-minute deal with the White House to split off the Homeland Security appropriations bill from the five other spending measures funding the departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Transportation and State, among others.
While the legislation passed the Senate before government funding expires at midnight, it still needs to pass the House, which is slated to return on Monday, before going to President Trump’s desk for a signature.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told House Republicans in a Friday afternoon conference call that he hopes to quickly pass the bill under a fast-track process known as suspension of the rules, which allows him to bypass the difficult task of getting Republicans unified behind a rule to pass the package under regular order.
The suspension process requires a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules and pass legislation.
The Office of Management and Budget says it will issue an order directing a partial shutdown of government because of the lapse in funding.
The partial shutdown will affect a broad swath of the federal government, including the Department of Defense.

Pretty brave to go save your dog. He's lucky it ended with that one punch/slap. Kangaroos are notoriously mean and very strong.


Huge powerful alpha predators. They are perfectly suited for their environment.


Lucky she didn't whack her head on that step. She might have broke her hip though.



Well ... at least he was smart enough to head for the water.

 

That can happen to you anytime in south Florida. They are all over the place.


This has got to be the most asinine competition with horses. I can't think of one damn thing we ever did with horses where that would come in handy. Just stupid, imo.

Don Lemon, Ex-CNN Host, Arrested For Minnesota Church Invasion

(Charges dropped by liberal federal judge in 3 .. 2 .. )

Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested late Thursday over the anti-ICE protest that stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday service, according to his attorney.
“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards,” Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement shared with multiple reporters.
“This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing his administration will not stand,” said Lowell, who also represented disgraced former first son Hunter Biden.
“Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.”
Lemon, 59, was part of a group of dozens of protesters who disrupted Sunday worship at Cities Church.

It was not immediately clear what charges he is facing. However, Lemon has been accused of violating the Enforcement Act of 1871, which bans interference with certain civil rights — such as voting or serving on juries — or, in this case, the right to practice one’s religion.
Also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, it originally created to prevent the racial terrorist group from paramilitary vigilantism.
Initially, Lemon tried to get out of facing criminal conspiracy charges by claiming he was “committing journalism” while taking part in the church disruption, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson on Tuesday.
“Whenever anyone conspires to violate the protected civil rights of American citizens, the Klan Act can be used to bring a conspiracy charge,” she said.
But video posted by Lemon himself before, during and after the church takeover showed he was very much part of the group, under the guise of “chronicling” the event as a reporter.
Before the group barged into the house of worship, Lemon filmed a segment admitting he had done some “reconnaissance” with the activists, which included members of Minnesota Black Lives Matter, who were milling about in a parking lot a few feet away.
“They’re planning an operation we’re going to follow them on. I can’t tell you exactly what they’re doing, but it’s called Operation Pull-Up,” he said.
“So that’s what we’re doing here, and after we do this operation, you’ll see it live, these operations are surprise operations. Again, I can’t tell you where they’re going,” he said.
