(Daily Caller)—Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told the Biden administration that House Republicans will not support further aid to Ukraine unless a border security deal is included, according to a letter sent to the White House on Tuesday.
The Biden administration expressed concern to Johnson on Monday that the U.S. would run out of resources to aid Ukraine by the end of the year unless Congress approved more funding. Johnson responded that House Republicans would only back further Ukraine aid if a border security agreement would be included in the deal, according to his Tuesday letter.
“The position of congressional Republicans has been clearly articulated,” Johnson wrote. “Supplemental Ukraine funding is dependent upon the enactment of transformative change to our nation’s border security laws. The House of Representatives has led in defining reforms to secure America’s borders and passed H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, more than six months ago. Senate Democrats have refused to act on that bill.”

Johnson proceeded to criticize the Biden administration for claiming its border plan “is working as intended,” instead calling it “nothing short of a catastrophe,” according to the letter. He outlined the current problems facing the southern border, including unprecedented illegal immigration and the potential terror threat associated with it, an increase in fentanyl and drug trafficking and the dangers – including physical and sexual abuse – facing migrants traveling into the U.S.
“The open border is an unconscionable and unsustainable catastrophe … Rather than engaging with congressional Republicans to discuss logical reforms, the Biden administration has ignored [reality],” Johnson wrote. “It is well past time for the administration to meaningfully engage with us.”
The Secure the Border Act passed in the Republican-controlled House in May.
“Senate Republicans released a proposal for border security in exchange for Ukraine funding. They know full well that this is a total non-starter,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Nov. 7. “Making Ukraine funding conditional on hard-right border policies that can’t ever pass Congress is a huge mistake.”
Johnson and Schumer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
predictable distraction. any bets this window dressing move will succeed? johnson has already exposed his establishment credentials; jim jordan sabotaged by eight rinos, johnson hustled to podium, and — wow! — the eight sqishbobs are magically pardoned by mr. speaker. no dots here, folks. deep state republicans are the problem, not leftie nutcases. biden impeachment! biden impeachment!. …over here, everybody…biden eimpeachment!!
remember all the engineered optimism when johnson was hustled into the speaker’s house?? yeah, ‘engineered.’ conservative media isn’t. try this top-of-the-page ink runner: ‘corporate-led media rules conservative buzz — radio, television, internet!!’ johnson is an updated mcarthy, less obviously slimey, better camo on the cave agenda, and slicker hoopla from ‘conservative’ cheerleaders. and,of course, those ‘christian’ photo-ops to prop any sagging credibility. wake up, patriots! learn to splice together the threads of fact — and their best-odds outcome — for yourself. bs is the most essential ingredient to profit.
