On Monday, Dec. 21, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives passed the massive $900 billion Wuhan pneumonia (Covid-19) virus bailout plan. The plan is bundled with $1.4 trillion worth of U.S. government spending measures for fiscal year 2021, for a total value of $2.3 trillion. The bill is a staggering 5,893 pages long and will need to be carted to lawmakers for review during a congressional vote. on Tuesday, December 22, the bill was sent to President Trump for approval. However, several sources have revealed that the bill not only has limited relevance to the relief of the American people, but is a massive money spill to foreign governments, etc., and that it contains provisions that would repeal President Trump’s military authority. President Trump also issued a video statement emphasizing that it must be adjusted, otherwise the current bill submitted will not be passed.
Senate, House rush to pass bill House procedural violations
In the Senate vote, Pennsylvania Republican Senator Pat McDonnell. The Republicans agreed, while the Democrats strongly opposed what they saw as a restrictive condition on the Biden administration. Toomey eventually agreed under pressure to narrow the language so as not to further handcuff the central bank under (if) an incoming Biden administration.
The bill passed the Senate and was immediately sent to the House of Representatives for a vote on Monday night the same day. This violates the standard 72-hour rule that must be provided for lawmakers to review before a vote is taken. As a result, many lawmakers, including Republicans and even the four female Democrats on the far-left “squad,” joined in opposition. However, the Democrat-majority House of Representatives voted to pass the bill.
The bill contains a provision to repeal Trump’s military rule
Because the bill was 6,000 pages long and the time given to lawmakers to review it was extremely short, few people read it carefully. However, after it was sent to President Trump, an attentive commentator discovered a hidden clause in the lengthy legal document: “To repeal the President’s authority to activate the Counterinsurgency Act.
The decree had nothing to do with the Wuhan pneumonia relief.
The Counterinsurgency Act, enacted in 1807, is a federal law that authorizes the president of the United States to deploy military and federal National Guard forces within the United States under certain circumstances to effectively stop domestic unrest.
In early November, President Trump fired former Defense Secretary Esper. According to Fox News, the firing came five months after Esper said he “did not support invoking the Insurrection Act” during the nationwide protest and riot movement that raged throughout the summer.
The bill is a massive money spill for foreign governments, illegal immigrants and programs unrelated to economic relief
President Trump gave a video address on the evening of Dec. 22, blasting Democrats for ignoring the American people and focusing on partisan interests while blocking relief programs for long periods of time.
He said, “All summer, Democrats have brutally blocked the COVID relief bill to advance their extreme left-wing agenda and influence elections.”
President Trump went on to say, “The bill they now plan to send back to my desk is very different from what was expected. It’s disgraceful.”
Trump went on to count the bill’s aid to governments outside the United States, including to Cambodia, Burma, Pakistan, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. There were also reinforcements to Egypt and the Egyptian military, and “almost all of this aid was used to purchase Russian military equipment.”
In addition, the bill provides huge amounts of aid to museums and art centers that are closed to the public, and $25 billion in funding for programs such as the fight against Asian carp, among others.
Trump noted, “The bill also allows for cash checks to be sent to family members of illegal aliens, who receive $1,800 each. That’s far more than Americans get.” Under the bill, cash relief is only $600 per American.
After the forest of foreign aid and unrelated programs, Trump said that “small businesses that are really struggling are not getting enough money.” “Especially restaurants, whose owners have suffered so badly.”
Trump demanded that the bill must be amended “and maybe my next administration needs it.”
Trump ended the video by demanding that the bill must be amended to significantly increase cash relief to Americans and remove “unnecessary provisions. He also said the bill is needed by the next administration, of which he is likely to be the next president.
He said, “I ask Congress to amend this bill to raise the ridiculously low $600 for a couple to $2,000 or $4,000.”
“I also ask that Congress immediately remove the redundant and unnecessary provisions in this legislation and send me the proper bill.”
“Otherwise the next administration will have to provide a COVID relief package and maybe that administration (the president) will be me and we will get it done.” “Thank you very much.”
