The new spending bill from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) not only funds programs antithetical to Republican causes but also contains woke language that redefines long established words like “criminal” and “homeless.”
Flagged by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) on Wednesday, the new bill contains head-scratching phrases by replacing “criminal” with “justice-involved individual” or “homeless” to “individuals experiencing homelessness.” Per Nancy Mace via her X thread:
Section 102, Page 947: Redefines “homeless individuals” to “individuals experiencing homelessness.”
Section 102, Page 947: Redefines “homeless children” to “children experiencing homelessness.”
Section 111, Page 958: Redefines “out of school youth” to “opportunity youth.”
Section 111, Page 958: Redefines “low-skilled adults” to “adults with foundational skill needs.”
Section Page 1398: Redefines “for criminal offenders in criminal institutions and for institutionalized individuals” to “justice involved individuals in correctional institutions and for other institutionalized individuals.”
Section 208, Page 1400: Redefines “criminal offender” to “justice-involved individual.”
As Breitbart News reported, the government funding bill also “includes a one-year extension of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), an agency that funds organizations that censor conservative media including Breitbart News”:
The provision extending funding for the program is on page 139 of the 1,537-page continuing resolution, which was unveiled Tuesday night just hours before the House will vote on the short-term spending bill.
The Washington Examiner’s Gabe Kaminsky posted on Twitter that the bill “includes a one-year extension on the State Department’s Global Engagement Center — the agency me and Matt Taibbi reported has funded speech suppression efforts and is being sued by the Federalist and Daily Wire.”
Appearing on “The Alex Marlow Show” Wednesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said that the continuing resolution (CR) spending bill spearheaded by Speaker Johnson was delayed from being voted on by design so that Congress could rush it through at the last minute before the Friday deadline to fund the government, giving nobody time to properly vet what is in it.
“By law, Congress is supposed to pass a budget in September,” Hawley said. “They’re supposed to do it in 10 separate budget bills so that we can debate them, read them, pass them, and they haven’t done any of that. They obviously blew right through that September deadline, then they get to the end of the year and it’s a huge pile up and they are counting on the fact that there’s no time left, that nobody will have time to read this. That’s what they want.”
“They are banking on that. They don’t want us to read and find what they jammed into this thing. That’s why they’re now trying to rush a vote tonight,” he added. “Democrats have been doing this for decades, but the fact that Republicans are doing it is just disgusting.”
Hawley concluded that the bill would be “hugely harmful” to Trump “because what’s going to happen is they’re going to spend all this money on Democrat priorities and other garbage.”
