[IsraelTimes] Letter to congressional committee reportedly says cash will go to Taiwan and Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... instead; Democrat Chris Murphy (D., Conn) ...Junior senator for life from Connecticutt, foreign policy mastermind, a fast friend and a sympathetic ear to mullahs, ayatollahs, and similar riff-raff. The indigestable boilerplate on his website sez he has has dedicated his career to public service as an advocate for Connecticut families,which means approximately nothing. He's been a strong voice in the Senate fighting for job creation, affordable health care, education, sensible gun laws, and a forward-looking foreign policy.You can guess what that mess actually means, though the voters of Connecticutt can't... calls for keeping back a further $235 million |

#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." |

#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. |

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