For a bill that supposedly cost “nothing,” Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi can’t even persuade their own party to vote for it.
According to Fox News : House Speaker Nancy Pelosi drew up the white flag Friday evening, admitting that “more time is needed” to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that is one of the pillars of President Biden’s agenda, after previously vowing to pass the measure this week. While Pelosi had promised moderate House Democrats the infrastructure bill would be on the floor, progressives threatened to sink it unless it was coupled with a $3.5 trillion spending measure, known as the Build Back Better Act, that includes a variety of social welfare programs. Seems they’ve gotten themselves into a hammerlock, held hostage by the members of their party’s socialist “Squad.” The Squad, which couldn’t care less what voters think beyond their own dead blue districts, have declared “my way or the highway” on government taxing and spending to the moon, while a moderate blue-dog caucus of about 20, whose members aren’t too public (out of fear of the Squad), doesn’t like this crap at all, knowing that its passage for each of them means that a Republican will take their seat in 2022.
So naturally, the whole thing has crashed. The spectacular failure of this $1-trillion spendathon, supposedly on “infrastructure,” as well as their Bernie Sanders–crafted $3.5-trillion pork “reconciliation,” is now Biden’s and Pelosi’s legacy. Sure, Pelosi tried to save face as she pulled those votes with a claim that she just needed more time, but the reality here is that these things fail for a reason. It’s the sound of the orchestra playing on Democrat ship Titanic .
What we have here are two old dinosaurs who can’t control their party, trying to save face. According to Politico : After strongly signaling to progressives this week to hold the line on their demands for a massive climate and social spending bill, President Joe […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
