No. This is a game the government plays where they say they don't fund abortions but they give tons of money to abortion providers that are not supposed to pay for abortions. As money is fungible, it pays for abortions and lobbying back to the government for more funds. It's a shell game. Think optics.

You're wasting your time arguing about the federal appropriations and spending process to fools who've never even run a checkbook. It doesn't matter. It was fully explained yesterday evening and last night to anyone who wants to learn. At this point, it's just shilling. MAGA on.
Liar, liar, baby killer.

I've often wondered whether this whole thing was going to make Carter Page rich. The MSM and deep state operatives have basically been slandering him as a Russian spy for years now. He should sue all of those wankers and retire comfortably to the countryside when this is done.
I don't think he's seizing. His letter is what the law required to have access to the funds immediately. I think they still have to be used for the described purposes. Could be wrong, just skimmed through the stuff, but that's my understanding.
Back when Bolton was nominated to be Amb to the UN, the MSM, Dems, and GOPe hated him. He had previously served in the State Department as an arms control specialist. They trotted out a few staffers who were crying that he was mean to them and fired people who didn't agree with him.
Guarantee you we are going to see a repeat of that. He will clean house.
