217 Republicans just voted to cut Veterans care

The Department of Veterans Affairs projected the bill would reduce its budget by 22% and immediately rescind $2 billion in funding to support veterans. Some lawmakers said Wednesday that the proposal will result in 30 million fewer veteran outpatient visits and significantly increase the backlog for benefit claims.

“It’s cruel and it hurts our heroes,” said Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

The bill is destined to fail in the Democrat-controlled Senate but Republicans hope to use it to boost their negotiating power as the U.S. approaches a default on its debt as soon as the summer.

Rep. Mark Takano of California, the top Democrat on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said Republicans were reviving the same tactics that stalled last year’s passage of the PACT Act, which expanded VA health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxins.

Finally, a menace that people need to be saved from - the adult movie websites.

Marjorie Taylor Greene pushes a national ban on 'adult' websites: 'I don’t even know why it exists'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appears to have just discovered adult film sites.

As the keynote address at the Putnam County Lincoln Reagan Dinner, Greene discussed at length her discovery of adult film sites. She explained the only reason she had to become an expert in adult videos is because of Hunter Biden and a laptop computer that once belonged to him.

According to Greene, the younger Biden, who does not work in politics or the White House, viewed such videos according to the investigation Trump ally Rudy Giuliani did on the laptop ahead of the 2020 election. According to Greene, the laptop had a number of adult videos filmed that she knows are Biden. The videos reportedly don't have any faces revealed.

Her message comes at a time that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is also speaking out against such sites being bad for "manliness." He believes that the global downfall of manhood and manliness is due to people such as Hunter Biden as well.

Ex-Steven Crowder Staffers Allege Pattern of Exposing His Genitals to Employees

Days after Steven Crowder’s ex-wife’s family accused him of “mentally and emotionally abusive behavior” and released a video of him berating and threatening his ex-wife, even more has come to light about Crowder’s alleged abusive behaviors. The New York Post spoke to 10 former staffers on Crowder’s show, Louder With Crowder, most of whom left voluntarily, per the outlet, and learned that Crowder had a pattern of exposing his genitals to his employees. According to the Post, six staffers confirmed that they witnessed this behavior firsthand and said it was a regular occurrence.

In response to the footage of Crowder yelling at ex-wife Hilary, one former employee told the Post, “I’m not shocked, but it was pathetic what he did to Hilary. That might not be the Steven you see on his show, but that was the real Steven.”

Josh Hawley blames 'First Son' Hunter Biden for America's manliness 'crisis'

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) agreed with Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy that Hunter Biden contributed to a "crisis" of manliness in the United States.

"There is no doubt that we have a crisis of purpose for men, especially young men in this country, and we just need to call these men to something higher," Hawley told Fox News on Sunday.

"But it comes down to an individual father taking responsibility for his family and his child, whether they're out of wedlock or not," Campos-Duffy opined. "And it's really shocking that right now, at this very moment, we have the first son, Hunter Biden, shirking his responsibilities as a father to little Navy Biden."

I admit it's funny when Josh "I'm too scared to stick around when my supporters come to visit" Hawley speaks about a manliness crisis.
