Congressional social media influencer, Nancy Mace, wrote an op-ed for the New York Times.
"A small number of lawmakers negotiate major legislation behind closed doors and spring it on members with little notice or opportunity for input. Leadership promises members their provisions will be in a bill, then strips them out in final drafts. Every must-pass bill is loaded with thousands of pages of unrelated policies, presented as take-it-or-leave-it. The House has abdicated control of appropriations, which the Constitution says must originate here, to the Senate.
For much of our history, most House business was conducted under an open rule: Any member could offer any germane amendment. Over the last two decades, both parties have moved to closed and structured rules, in which no amendments or only handpicked amendments are allowed votes. The House has not considered a single open rule since 2016. Leaders of both parties have systematically silenced rank-and-file voices."
__
"Would opening up the floor lead to more conservative bills passing or more bipartisan ones? The honest answer is: It would do both. Only about 5 percent of the bills introduced this year have seen a floor vote. Some Republican priorities would finally get a vote. So, too, would common-sense bipartisan measures. The point is to do more and let voters see where their representatives stand. What we have now is the worst of all worlds: little accountability, transparency and results."
__
"Today Republicans have a governing trifecta: the House, the Senate and the White House. If we fail to pass legislation that permanently secures the border, addresses the affordability crisis, improves health care and restores law and order, we will lose this majority. And we will deserve it.
We can do better. We can restore regular order, empower members to legislate and deliver on our promises. But that will require a fundamental shift, one that prioritizes courage over control. Let us vote. Let the people see. Let the chips fall. That’s democracy."

🇻🇪 MADURO: “VENEZUELA WILL BUILD CHIPS LIKE NVIDIA’S”
Maduro has set his sights on the global tech race - and he's aiming high.
In a recent speech, he declared Venezuela will begin manufacturing high-end microchips, rivaling even U.S. giants like Nvidia.
Touting a mix of divine support and scientific ambition, Maduro called the plan part of a new national mantra: faith, science, and total independence.
“We will make the most famous microchips here, even more famous than Nvidia’s.
Nothing will stop us.
With God, with faith, with science, we are indestructible.
Let's do everything that needs be done in Venezuela, and never depend on anyone.
The new mantra, national scientific mantra.”

The largest online media outlet in Israel is now calling for a global Jewish security architecture that will connect Israeli security forces with local law enforcement— “especially in the U.S.”— to identify instances of antisemitism and take action against them.
They are now openly calling for worldwide tyranny that is exclusive controlled by the Israeli government.
https://www.israelhayom.com/opinions/there-is-only-one-way-to-protect-jews-against-antisemitism/
“That is why a new move is required: establishing a Jewish People's Guard. Not a local organization, not a security company and not a temporary initiative, but a permanent global structure that creates an international Jewish safety net.
Such a system would connect communities around the world with the State of Israel and official security bodies. It would enable rapid emergency responses, provide orderly training for community response teams and identify incitement processes before they turn violent.
A Jewish People's Guard would create a global alert mechanism, provide unified protocols and build an efficient defensive capability, working in full coordination with governments, local law enforcement agencies and key allies, especially the US.”

A Sky News reporter claims that 2,000 Jews were gunned down in Sydney. In the replies she admits that she knows that only 11 people were killed.
This is the behavior that actually causes antisemitism.

Posobiec showing his true colors and pushing the official 9/11 narrative.
Don’t forget that Q called out both Jack and Alex Jones for being Mossad operatives, after AJ claimed to be a Q insider and Jack claimed to have started Q with his buddies as a joke.

Generations have been programmed to look outside the US for boogeymen. The problem is the elites' outward projection, lining pockets at the expense of Americans. True problems are here at home.
