McConnell: I Hope Trump Doesn’t Veto NDAA over Base Name Issue

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Daily Briefing,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that he hopes President Trump will not veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which the president has threatened to do, over the issue of base names. McConnell stated that the bill includes pay raises for members of the military, and “could lead to changing the names of some of these military bases.” But is “quite different from trying to airbrush the Capitol of every statue.”

McConnell said, “I would hope the president really wouldn’t veto the bill over this issue. There’s, in the bill, a requirement, I think of a three-year study about changing the names. To me, this is quite different from trying to airbrush the Capitol of every statue. The way the statues in the Capitol work, each state picks two. You can trade them out, at any time, and some states are doing that, as we speak. But I hope the president would reconsider vetoing the entire defense bill, which includes pay raises for our troops, over a provision in there that could lead to changing the names of some of these military bases.”

Leave the Names alone, Leave Our Statues alone… Do Your JOB and PROTECT OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY AND SOVEREIGNTY!!

>>9820204

Mc Turtle and the other RINO wimps keep trying to appease the feral Democrat jackals. Democrats should be extirpated, not appeased.

TRUMP 2020!

>>9820204

Maybe the Turtle should have discussed it with the President before bringing it to the floor. I hope Trump vetos it within minutes of it reaching his desk.

>>9820204

f the Senate Majority Leader was worried about a Presidential Veto, then they shouldn't put out crap bills…

Maybe if we had a Senate Majority Leader we would be able to get something done!

>>9820204

Veto with a scolding.

>>9820204

VETO this GARBAGE Mr. President. In fact, name more bases after Stonewall Jackson, Andrew Jackson, and Chris Columbus!

>>9820204

Veto. McConnell and any republican senator who would support renaming does not deserve to represent us. Let’s hit the phones.

>>9820204

McConnell is a lazy, self serving wimp. He couldn’t care less whose president, he has his own little empire and pampered lifestyle, and that’s all that matters to him.

>>9820204

No, he just won the GOP primary - but he is in a DEAD heat with the Democrat. Graham has huge negatives in his state. Desperate men do desperate things. Watch Graham attack Trump!

>>9820204

RINOs never miss an opportunity to go after Trump

>>9820204

Change the name to MAGA

>>9820204

EO change the name to Anons

Chaos Erupts as Democrats Adopt GOP Motion to Restrict Chinese Access to American Infrastructure Projects

Thirty-nine House Democrats defected and voted for a House GOP motion on Wednesday to restrict Chinese access to American infrastructure projects if those Chinese companies commit human rights abuses.

Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR) introduced a motion to recommit, which would limit China’s access to American infrastructure programs if the Chinese state-owned or operated enterprises or Chinese companies help construct Uyghur concentration camps. The motion to recommit, which was adopted by the House, will now send the House Democrats’ $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill back to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and include Crawford’s provision to curb Chinese access to U.S. infrastructure projects as long as they commit human rights abuses.

The House adopted Crawford’s motion to recommit with 224 votes in favor of the measure and 193 votes against the proposal.

This marks the seventh time that the GOP has forced Democrats to amend their bill by approving a motion to recommit. The Republicans’ victory also calls into question House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) ability to control her rank-and-file members from defecting and voting for GOP measures.

Political experts and reporters have previously written that Republican wins on motions to recommit votes serve as an “embarrassment” for Democrat leadership.

House Republicans successfully inserted language into H.R. 8 that would require ICE to notify the background check system anytime an undocumented immigrant tries to buy a gun, an embarrassment for Dem leaders.

Even after the unexpected addition, the House passed H.R.8, 240-190.

Republicans contended on Wednesday that domestic infrastructure projects should not go to Chinese government firms that oppress their own citizens.

“We can’t afford to allow the Chinese government to take control of our power grid or broadband system — and we all know that allowing Chinese companies to compete for these projects often opens the door to Chinese government control,” Crawford said when introducing his amendment on the House floor on Wednesday.

“Time and again, China has demonstrated its hostility to America’s interests and international standards of transparency and accountability while violating basic human morality,” he added.

“We have a moral obligation to ensure that no government that treats its citizens this way – and none of its state-sponsored companies that help them do it – benefits from the Majority’s spending spree,” Crawford added.

>>9820368

Wth… why are there Chinese doing any Of our infrastructure projects? they've already been caught Selling us substandard material.

>>9820368

If supported by American taxpayer dollars, shouldn't these be all American? American owned, American employees, using American raw products?

>>9820368

The 193 who voted in favor of the communist Chinese show just how traitorous and treacherous the democrat party is.

>>9820368

They won't tell him because they're worried he'll go off on a hot mic about how this is costing Hunter money.

>>9820368

Whose big idea it was to deindustrialize America and move the production of everything to China? Whenever a decision against America's best interests has been made one can find a Marxist behind it. American communists / China collaborators must be made responsible for the plight the country is currently in.

>>9820368

I'll guarantee you that the eGOP was/is in on it too. They wanted jobs shipped over there so they could be the "lo-wage" providers of all those consumer trinkets people were/are buying at Wally-Mart. A consumer driven economy which, in reality, is just a form of Keynesian economics

>>9820368

nike found chinas slave laborers made them more money to give to leftist causes

>>9820368

Utterly indefensible…

>>9820368

Did Feinstein pay her Chinese driver or vice versa?

>>9820368

China has replaced the USSR/Russia as our main adversary. Why in the hell indeed should they be allowed to bid on our infrastructure projects??

>>9820368

About 20 years ago thousands of newly constructed homes had to have all of the drywall removed and thrown out. How expensive, the Chinese drywall had extremely high contents of sulfur. Contractors thought they were saving a buck and it cost them dearly. The Chinese found a way to get rid of hazardous waste, at our expense….

>>9820368

It's almost as if some of our "representatives" have their interests more aligned with China than the US.

>>9820368

Pelosi hates America. She hate independent working Americans. She is the personification of EVIL.

>>9820368

>>9820368

Its a Chinese virus

>>9820368

Nasty Nancy was heard screaming at her fellow Democrats behind closed doors… “Don’t you idiots know that the Chinese Communist Party is the #1 Contributor to Democrat Campaigns every election cycle!!!”

>>9820368

Smithfield chicken is Chinese owned. You would blush when you learn how badly American politicians have literally sold your country to the communist Chinese. Top secret military anti-vibration technology…top secret lithium battery in extreme temperature technology - all sold by Joe Biden and John Kerry to the CCP - communist Chinese. Huge amount of land in the souther USA is right now being sold to the Chinese CCP. Do the research yourself, my friends.

>>9820368

Restrict ? How about cutting them off.

No foreign country should be able to own property here or invest in our infrastructure. Especially the chinese.

>>9820368

I’m with you……not enough is being paid attention to the Chinese trying to get involved in banking nuclear power plants and natural gas plants. I know there is some controversy in Ohio regarding the People’s Bank of China writing the paper for the Besse Davis nuke plant and a new natural gas plant to utilize the nexus pipeline

>>9820368

Democrats = China First

Trump = America First

>>9820368

ust a small, but openly obvious, question:

Why is it that we engage in business with the Communist Chinese when we did not engage with the Communist Soviet Union ?

Could it be that our congressional and administrative leaders have ulterior (monetary) interests other than the well-being of their country? Well, heck….

>>9820368

How much money did nancy pelosi make in north korea ?

>>9820368

>>9820368

It's Simple Pelosi won't get a kick back if she don't use Chinese Companies

>>9820368

Pelosi, Schumer, Biden - they are all flush with China’s cash. It is heartening to know that some Democrats stood up AGAINST their corrupt leadership and said no to treason.

>>9820368

The era of Chinese appeasement is over!!

CCP Apologists should leave the United States while they still can.

>>9820368

Allowing any foreign country any access to any infrastructure project compromises US security and shouldn't happen.

>>9820368

why would we allow any foreign entity to get our tax dollars to perform infrastructure work? are you kidding me? we needed a motion? so other foreign firms can get American taxpayer infrastructure money? we are one sick counrty. does citizenship have any meaning any more?

BA Commish on Possible Anthem Protests: We Have to Be True to Ourselves

During an interview on Tuesday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver refused to directly answer a question about players taking a knee during the national anthem during the upcoming shortened 2020 season.

In an interview with TIME 100 Talks, Silver tried to land on every side of the question, for the protests, yet also for standing during the anthem.

“I don’t disagree with this notion that people come together in a unified way to stand for the national anthem,” Silver exclaimed.

But then he visited the other side of the coin, too.

“I also recognize there are appropriate times for protest. And I also understand that when that line-drawing comes into play, invariably, you’re going to upset some faction out there,” he said.

So what is his solution, if any?

“[A]t the end of the day, we just sort of have to be true to ourselves, and the values that underlay this league. And try to make values-based decisions rather than political ones,” he concluded.

The NBA is one of the most left-wing pro sports leagues in the nation, so if Silver intends to rely on the “values” of the league, kneeling is probably to be expected.

Still, the league passed a rule in 2017 requiring its players to stand during the anthem. So, by the rules, kneeling is not allowed.

However, early in June, the league vowed to re-address the issue in a future — unscheduled — meeting with players leaving open the possibility that the rule would be reversed and players would be permitted to protest during the national anthem.

But for now, no decision has been made to allow protests during the national anthem. Clearly, Silver simply did not want to answer the question.

>>9820676

I must be true and never watch NBA. NBA supports Chinese slavery and so does thier uniform maker NIKE.

>>9820676

michael jordan, kaepernick, le bron james all getting filthy rich cause they are slave owners by Chinese proxy… Children and the Uighurs, imprisoned for their religious beliefs are forced to make the pricey Nikes these plantation owners shill for.

>>9820676

To appease his Communist masters, Adam Silver will probably require the Chinese Communist anthem to played before the start of every NBA game.

>>9820676

Grow a pair Silver and be an American.

is he jewish ? Mark Cuban ?

Business Group Complains Trump’s H-1B Reform Is Boosting U.S. Graduates

If President Donald Trump can push his H-1B reforms into 2021, he will dramatically increase the marketplace power of U.S. college graduates, complains a top manager at the Fortune 500 business group the Conference Board.

“If the [H-1B] suspension continues beyond 2020, recruiting high-quality tech workers could become much more difficult,” wrote Gad Levanon, who heads the group’s Labor Market Institute that has repeatedly recognized that a smaller supply of workers tends to raise wages and salaries.

Under Forbes‘ headline, “Tech Workers Were Already Hard To Find. The H-1B Visa Suspension Just Made Recruiting Them Even Harder,” Levanon wrote:

Hundreds of thousands of foreigners will no longer be able to attain work in the U.S. as a result.

This halt will deal a one-two punch to employers of computer-related occupations, which includes jobs such as software developers and computer systems analysts. First, people in this field receive the overwhelming majority of H-1B visas. Out of the nearly 400,000 H-1B petitions approved in fiscal year 2019, about two-thirds were in that line of work. Most went to software developers.

Second, computer-related workers are the one group for which the labor market will soon become tight again. When that happens, new foreign workers may be sorely missed.

Computer experts are “likely to regain their hot commodity status in the next year or two,” he wrote.

Levanon’s Jue 26 warnings are good news for Americans, said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers. “I would do a jig,” because Levanan is admitting that Trump’s reforms are helping American professionals, he said.

Former Google chief Eric Schmidt offers the usual bait-and-switch:

Tells Trump the nation needs genius immigrants – but fights to replace outspoken US graduates with compliant, low-skilled #h1B college-workers.

It's all about executives vs professionals.https://t.co/fv5G0FaQYs
