Since day one in office, President Joe Biden has advanced policies that weaken America’s military and distract from its core mission of protecting the nation.
Biden has continually proposed cuts to the defense budget while sending hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine. The president has also tried to politicize America’s armed forces and cater to those who are transgender, pro-abortion, or radical climate change activists.
This week, the White House announced Biden will veto a GOP bill that includes military pay raises for soldiers should it pass.
The House Republican legislation would have given the military’s junior enlisted troops a 30 percent raise next year and ensure that no military member would make less than the equivalent of $15 per hour during a 40-hour work week.
“If the president were presented with H.R. 4365, he would veto it.,” the White House said in a press release, pointing to the lack of Left-wing agenda items such as diversity initiatives, abortion, transgender issues, and climate change.
“The draft bills also include numerous new, partisan policy provisions with devastating consequences, including harming access to reproductive healthcare, threatening the health and safety of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Americans, endangering marriage equality, hindering critical climate change initiatives, and preventing the Administration from promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion,” the White House stated.
The Biden Administration also opposed pay raises for junior enlisted members because it does not agree with “making a significant, permanent change to the basic pay schedule” while the administration is already reviewing military compensation.
In July, the GOP-led House passed the $886 billion defense bill. Since then, Republicans have made several changes, including repealing the DOD’s abortion travel policy, which reimburses military members for any costs when traveling to a state to get an abortion where the procedure is legal.
Republicans also excluded initiatives the Biden Administration wanted to include, such as prohibiting the Defense Department from providing sex-change surgeries and gender hormone treatments for transgender military personnel.
The White House condemned the GOP’s changes to the bill, claiming the new proposal is unfair to the LGBTQ community and would make “deep cuts to climate change and clean energy programs.”
And lest we forget the billions of dollars in equipment left for the Taliban during his pull=out.
A president is only permitted 2 terms by law. If Obama is controlling things behind the scenes he is the de facto president and has committed coup and should be charged, tried and hopefully convicted. Pass this idea on. We need to put Obama in jail now.
Cut politician’s pay to under 70% of minimum wage.
This is absolutely! positively! ridiculous! They have young kids out there screaming and crying to get $15 an hour working at McDonald’s.!! And most fast food places have caved in and brought the pay up for these blubbering idiots!!! A person in the military has rules and regulations to follow!! Cannot just call into work anytime they want and say they can’t work that day! Those that are there to protect our country have to leave family behind for long periods of time!! They have to wear special uniforms and boots in weather that is not conducive to their comfort. They also have to be responsible for guns and ammunition. They are scrutinized at their every move!! I could go on and on and on, But what good would it do? The puppet just continues to keep doing as the master says!!!
Yes, I am a Veteran and come from a family of many who served. My former spouse is a veteran. When we were younger (in the 80’s)we were $100 shy of getting food stamps!!!!
Many people want to believe that those who serve our country make big bucks! Some also think that we just slacked off and don’t really do any work! I say to them….go ahead and join and see what it’s like! It’s nothing like days of old! But it is still different than being a civilian working out in the communities
Biden is murdering America’s military. This is therefore murdering America.
