Thursday on his radio show, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh hammered Republicans in Congress for the handling of the current omnibus spending bill, which Limbaugh said was “rubber stamped” while most of the country was focused on GOP presidential

The revolting $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill Republicans dumped on their astonished voters has one – possibly only one – bright spot: the bailout corridors for ObamaCare remain blocked. If Democrats were able to soak taxpayers to keep Obama’s health care disaster floating, they’d do it in a hot second.

GOP presidential candidate former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee called the budget deal reached yesterday, the “fiscal cliff deal.”

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) slammed the immigration implications of the year-end spending bill Wednesday, saying the omnibus represents a “betrayal” of voters that fully funds President Obama’s immigration agenda while also increasing the number of low-skilled foreign guest workers allowed.

The year-end spending deal unveiled early Wednesday morning includes a provision that would increase the number of guest worker visas available to unskilled foreign nationals seeking employment in the U.S.

The year-end spending bill is the last change Congress has to put the breaks on President Obama’s plan to admit at least 10,000 Syrian refugees to the U.S. despite concerns about the vetting vulnerabilities and national security implications, according to Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX).

GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum talks to Breitbart News exclusively before the fifth GOP primary debate. “Here’s the reality, not all Muslims are jihadists, but all jihadists are Muslims,” Santorum stated. “We can’t be politically correct to the point where we ignore that reality.”

House Republicans from California lashed out at Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on Friday for blocking drought legislation language from a larger government funding spending bill.

While it’s unclear at this time what the final product will look like since it’s still being negotiated, some on Capitol Hill are seriously concerned about potential ramifications regarding a campaign finance law rider that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is aggressively fighting for in the forthcoming omnibus spending package.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, tells Breitbart News Daily about House Speaker Paul Ryan’s and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plans to force Americans to pay for President Obama’s Syrian refugee resettlement program.

Following GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s call for a temporary pause on Muslim migration, Congressional GOP leaders refused to say whether the omnibus bill would fund President Obama’s resettlement of Muslim refugees, and whether the omnibus would allow Obama to continue distributing the same large number of visas and green cards to Muslim migrants.

Several members of Congress are using the omnibus bill to stop the Department of Justice from delivering corporate donations to left-wing activist groups.

The spending resolution passed in the Senate Wednesday morning now goes to the House, and it funded Planned Parenthood – something the conservative base protested.

The spending resolution expires December 11, creating another government shutdown cliff right before Congress leaves for the holidays. Potentially, the December “omnibus” could bust the budget caps, raise the debt ceiling, fund amnesty, fund sanctuary cities, fund Iran deal, and fund Planned Parenthood.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a fellow likely 2016 GOP presidential candidate, is a “moderate.” Calling a Republican who’s seeking the GOP nomination a “moderate” is a clear insult in Republican presidential primary politics. During that selection process, each of the candidates is likely to focus on highlighting conservative credentials to please GOP base voters. Paul further hinted Bush would be open to tax increases and more government spending, positions no candidate is likely to take while trying to win the nomination.
