In a surprising turn of events, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has presented a new spending bill that not only supports programs that are in stark contrast to Republican ideologies but also introduces a new "woke" language that redefines traditional terms such as criminal and homeless.
.
As reported by Breitbart, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) highlighted on Wednesday the perplexing language used in the new bill, which replaces criminal with justice-involved individual and homeless with individuals experiencing homelessness. Mace shared the following excerpts from the bill:
Section 102, Page 947: Redefines homeless individuals to individuals experiencing homelessness.
Section 102, Page 947: Redefines homeless children to children experiencing homelessness.
Section 111, Page 958: Redefines out of school youth to opportunity youth.
Section 111, Page 958: Redefines low-skilled adults to adults with foundational skill needs.
Section Page 1398: Redefines for criminal offenders in criminal institutions and for institutionalized individuals to justice involved individuals in correctional institutions and for other institutionalized individuals.
Section 208, Page 1400: Redefines criminal offender to justice-involved individual.
The bill also extends the funding for the State Departments Global Engagement Center (GEC), an agency known for supporting organizations that censor conservative media, including Breitbart News. The provision for this extension is found on page 139 of the 1,537-page continuing resolution, which was revealed just hours before the House vote on the short-term spending bill.
Gabe Kaminsky of The Washington Examiner noted on Twitter that the bill includes a one-year extension on the State Departments Global Engagement Center the agency me and Matt Taibbi reported has funded speech suppression efforts and is being sued by the Federalist and Daily Wire.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) criticized the timing of the bill's presentation during his appearance on The Alex Marlow Show Wednesday. He argued that the bill was intentionally delayed to be rushed through Congress at the last minute before the Friday deadline to fund the government, leaving no time for proper vetting.
By law, Congress is supposed to pass a budget in September, Hawley said. Theyre supposed to do it in 10 separate budget bills so that we can debate them, read them, pass them, and they havent done any of that. They obviously blew right through that September deadline, then they get to the end of the year and its a huge pile up and they are counting on the fact that theres no time left, that nobody will have time to read this. Thats what they want.
Hawley further expressed his disappointment, stating, Democrats have been doing this for decades, but the fact that Republicans are doing it is just disgusting. He warned that the bill would be hugely harmful to Trump because whats going to happen is theyre going to spend all this money on Democrat priorities and other garbage.
This development raises questions about the transparency and integrity of the legislative process, as well as the potential implications of the new language and spending priorities on traditional conservative values.
