DEBT CEILING BILL
Passed in the House
As I predicted yesterday, the House passed the budget and debt ceiling bill known by the “only in Washington” title of the “Fiscal Responsibility Act,” largely thanks to Democrats supporting it. It passed 314-117, with 71 Republicans voting no. It now moves on to the Senate.
Chip Roy of the Freedom Caucus called it a deal “that shouldn’t have been cut,” and conservatives complained that Speaker McCarthy gave up too much and got too little in return. But McCarthy claimed “we did pretty dang good” and said the bill is only a “first step.” There are some good things in it that you can read at the link, and the CBO estimates that the spending restraints will reduce deficits by $1.5 trillion over the next decade. Although when you consider how much money Congress wants to spend that we don’t have over the next decade, that sounds like a drop in the bucket.
Here are more details about the contents of the bill…

And more of the Republican reaction to it passing the House...
Not willing to get bogged down in a divisive battle that’s as good as over, former President Trump said of the bill, “It is what it is.” I don’t think anyone can argue with that.
GENDER POLITICS
“Gay Pride Month”
It’s June, which means it’s “Gay Pride Month” (Oh goody, I hear you say; we haven’t heard enough about this topic over the past 11 months.) That means President Biden, or whatever loopy leftist staffer who actually writes the stuff he can’t even read off a teleprompter, issued a Presidential Pride Month proclamation that goes waaaaaay beyond simply endorsing tolerance and inclusion.
It’s the most radical statement ever issued by any President, coming down strongly in favor of forcing girls to compete against biological male athletes and giving body-altering chemicals and surgery to confused minors, I assume regardless of parental consent. (Reminder: in blue New York state, it’s illegal to give tattoos to anyone under 18 because minors are too immature to understand the consequences of permanently altering their bodies – but if they want to chop off their breasts and genitals, full steam ahead.)
As long as we’re on the subject, here’s just one of the results of Biden’s obsession with erasing biological sex differences. Gee, if males who “identify” as females are real girls, I wonder how one of them was able to so savagely beat up two girls at once:
Related: Lately, there have been a number of conservatives online calling for boycotts of various clothing manufacturers, retailers, etc., who sell Gay Pride themed products. I’m a bit concerned that they’re spreading themselves so thin and aiming so wide that they threaten to dissipate their effectiveness.
There should be some level of discernment between companies that market products like Rainbow T-shirts to adults and those that are actively promoting the grooming or “transing” of children. In short, don’t get so overwhelmed with boycotting every store that sells size XXL rainbow T-shirts that you’re too busy to notice when, say, a clothing manufacturer like Hollister, which is tied to Abercrombie & Fitch, not only markets the clothing, but also “partners with” and donates $250,000 to an organization that pushes to get LGBTQ+ propaganda into schools. The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) also works to put reading materials about how to “gender transition” without parental knowledge into schools.
Hollister is apparently so all-in with this radical agenda that they’ve promised to give that quarter million bucks to GLSEN “regardless of sales.” So that means that if their sales tank, that donation will hurt their bottom line even more. Just food for thought…
