House Fails to Pass Stopgap Bill to Fund Homeland Security

[NBCNEWS] In a stunning rebuke to GOP leaders, the House failed on Friday night to pass a three-week measure to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded, throwing the agency's funding into further uncertainly as a midnight deadline looms to avert a shutdown.
Control of both houses, and they still disappoint.
The vote was 203-224.

It's unclear what House Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner
... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans...
will do next. If the House does not act by midnight, the Department of Homeland Security will run out of funding, triggering a shutdown of the agency.

Fifty-two Republicans broke with their leadership to oppose the temporary funding measure. Conservatives said the stopgap bill represented a cave to the White House by failing to curtail the president's executive orders regarding immigration.

#1 Never liked the Soviet-esque/like term "Homeland" + still don't.

Use of it only affirmed to me that 9-11 + GWOT was also a drive to forcibly impose Communism-Socialism upon the US widout need of a formal national vote, + that the US + former USSR were now in competition to see which is the true "World Island" of Mackindrian fame [Americas-vs-Eurasia-proper].
