More winning being announced today as the House of Representatives passed a $788 billion spending bill that combines a $1.6 billion down payment for President Donald Trump’s widely popular border wall with Mexico with a massive budget increase for the Pentagon.

In the 235-192 vote, President Trump remains victorious yet again as his House GOP allies continue to produce massive wins towards his agenda heading into the August recess. While there still remains obstacles in the Senate, where a powerful Democratic opposition combined with pitiful Republican “rhino's” could potentially make a few changes, it seems incredibly unlikely as the Pentagon is counting on their increased budget proposals.
The newly released 326-page measure intends to also make good on longtime GOP promise to reverse the erosion in military readiness, where the Department of Defense alongside Pentagon strongholds will be able to rebuild the American fortress that has been impenetrable until the Obama Administration brought it to it's knees.
While veterans are still suffering in America, President Trump says this new proposal would give veterans programs a 5 percent increase and fund a new 2.4 percent military pay raise for those still serving in America's Armed Forces.
Several GOP leaders used the popularity of the Pentagon and veterans programs to power through Trump’s border wall, which you could consider interdimensional chess from the master of checkmates, by being able to force any opposition into submission for fear of castration by threatening the military. A truly genius proposal, which is why it passed with ease.
“Every single dime the President requested to start building a wall on our southern border he’s going to get,” said Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. “Most importantly, we’re sending more to the VA to fix veterans’ health care and reform outdated VA systems.”
A potential government shutdown battle over the U.S.-Mexico wall still looms in the horizon with Senate Democrats this fall, who have vowed to grit their teeth and continue to dismantle any support for their party in the future by delaying the President’s agenda.
Generals and advocates for military veterans see praising this new spending increase, also ensuring that those brave patriots who serve the United States of America are taken care of in a long anticipated fix for a broken system that has left many of America's finest in the gutter, in part due to the Obama Administration's failure to comply with respect and honor for their service.
The House of Representatives added Trump’s wall funding by a 230-196 procedural vote that denied spiteful Democrats yet again, who may as well make their slogan for 2018 “We just keep losing. You're going to lose so much, that you'll be switching to the GOP.”
Left wing media reports from marxists outlets of course will try and point out the “Mexico is supposed to pay for it” angle, but keep in mind if that's all they have left to grasp onto at this point then the rest of us can sit with a smug face and laugh until our sides ache at their dismay.

For Mexico, for now at least, they'll pay in other ways. For example all the money America will save by not paying for their welfare, food stamps, drug trafficking, and imprisonment as well as deportation. Future tariffs could also be imposed on Mexican goods during the renegotiation of NAFTA, which is likely the ace in the back pocket that President Trump is holding onto.
“The president has promised this funding, the American people want this funding, and today the House is making good on that promise,” said Republican Representative Steven Palazzo of Mississippi.

Of course that hasn't stopped Democrats from adding nails to their own coffins, by trying to act as if they somehow magically care about Veterans or those who serve in the armed forces, when they've been responsible for the disastrous treatment of Veteran's Affairs and tragic dismantling of the military of the past several decades.
Senate Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, while stumbling through her words today said, “We do not give certainty to our defense or confidence to our troops when we legislate with phony numbers, when we refuse to make honest choices about our Defense budget.”
The joke here is that she said she doesn't give confidence to our troops, because Americans know very clearly by looking around at homeless Veterans that she means every word of that hypothetical analysis as fact, since Democrats have failed America's bravest.

Pelosi went on to state, “Instead of giving certainty to our heroes in uniform, this bill would breach the sequester spending limit by more than $70 billion, forcing a mandatory 13 percent cut to all defense accounts.”
In amusing fashion, she seems to imply that by cutting out wasteful programs while increasing funding to those which would assist both the Pentagon and the American Military service members that they're somehow cutting aid to Veterans. We call this the “bait and switch”, which is a failed tactic most on the left often resort to by tossing out numbers and not explaining their meanings.
<strong>Stay mad, Nancy. 2018 is coming, and when it does, you're going to pay the price with major losses for your party.</i>

Both sides have failed the veterans so that can fuck off for a start, as regards the wall. It doesn't matter about who pays for it, the fact is it's useless. The wall idea has always been useless unless backed up with lots of firepower and that is the problem. Try working it out, it will fail. As for the military losing the 13%, have you thought about what's going to get cut, we already know you and your boss are cowards, but at least consider what the consequences are for those who aren't chickenshit.
