#2 Seems we have our own human rights abuses with the J6 prisoners- we should withhold taxpayer funding of that government.

#3 WHAT ABOUT OUR MILITARY?
Given all the military equipment, missiles, ammo, weapons and $$$ Billions, we are sending to everyone else around the world.

The USA DOD recruitment is down across all branches.

29% of the E1 to E4 Soldiers qualify for Food Stamps.

DC continues it's piss poor funding of the Active, retiree, and VA medical systems.

All while we are at Defcon Level 3 (Round House) with Military fingers in too many distant pies. But yet, our depleted DOD is supposed to be able to mobilize in less than 15 minutes time?

BTW: Level 3, is the same Defcon level seen on September 11th, 2001 with the attacks on the World Trade Ctr. Towers, the Pentagon itself and the DC capitol avoided due to those passengers.

For those that suited up, or worked in Levels 2 & 3 situations, the pucker-factor gets seriously interesting.

#4 $55 million will instead go to Taiwan and the remaining $30 million to Lebanon

I understand $30 million to ~~Hizballah~~ Lebanon - gotta keep them kikes on their toes, but what good $55 million will do to Taiwan?

#5 At the heart of this is the Democrat Party support for the Muslim Brotherhood. Don't believe it? Check Hillary Clinton, her support for Morsy, the left wing and anti-Semitic drift in the US Embassy-Cairo during the so-called "Arab Spring."
