House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is scrambling – both to keep his job, and to pass several bills to devote billions in US taxpayer funds to foreign entanglements that Johnson’s conservative base has little-to-no appetite for.

The bills would provide around $60.8 billion for Ukraine, $26.4 billion for Israel, and $8.1 billion for Taiwan. Meanwhile, following Republican outcry – Johnson included a fifth bill which would revive the Secure Border Act – so US border security is essentially an afterthought.

In order to appease said base, Johnson – who faces a growing threat of removal by House conservatives – has added a US border security measure to the package, which he told lawmakers the House would vote on Saturday night. The $95.3 billion package includes three aid bills to send funds to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, after claiming that the situation in Ukraine was at a tipping point, and the “axis of evil” of Russia, China and Iran are coordinating to help Russia to push further into Europe, like Hitler.

Seriously?

“To put it bluntly, I would rather send bullets to Ukraine than American boys,” said Johnson, the Washington Times reports.

UNBELIEVABLE! TRUMP SUPPORTS THIS PACKAGE:

WATCH HIS RECENT COMMENTS:

Conservatives slam Johnson

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) called it a “joke,” arguing that Johnson is more worried about Ukraine than the US-Mexico border – which the speaker had previously promised to pair together.

“He certainly doesn’t want to try to use border security because I guess he’s afraid it might mess up Ukraine,” Good added.

Rep. Thomas Massie said on X that Johnson “plans to pass the rule for the $100 billion foreign aid package using Democrats on the Rules Committee,” adding “This is the Uniparty “reveal.””

There are some misleading statements being made by some conservatives, claiming that Trump opposes the bill. But that is far from the truth as Johnson and Trump himself said he is fine so long as there is a loan.

However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the “loan” structure in the package Mike Johnson announced Wednesday includes FULL LOAN FORGIVENESS!
