"Swamp Omnibus": Lobbyists Get Millions For LGBTQ Sex Parties & Electronic Cattle Tracking

As a partial government shutdown looms, the House Freedom Caucus has called on Republicans to oppose the 'Swamp Omnibus' bill, criticizing it for containing a ridiculous amount of pork. This government funding package is designed to prevent a partial shutdown set for Friday. 

"The House Freedom Caucus opposes the $1.65 trillion omnibus spending bill, which will be decided in two halves, the first being brought to the floor this week under suspension of the rules," Freedom Caucus wrote in a statement. 

The group continued: "Even in the face of $34.4 trillion in national debt, the omnibus will bust the bipartisan spending caps signed into law less than a year ago and is loaded with hundreds of pages of earmarks worth billions."

We pointed out Sunday that US debt is rising at the pace of $1 trillion every 3 months - or - 100 days (readHartnett: $1 Trillion Every 100 Days). 

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) coined the new funding package the "Swamp Omnibus." It was proposed on Sunday, ahead of Friday's deadline, to avoid a partial government shutdown. 

"In the #SwampOmnibus, the [House GOP] SURRENDERS key demands passed in House [appropriations] bills. "This means MORE ILLEGALS, LESS FREEDOM, & we've yet to see the bill that funds Radical Progressive Democrats' mass-release policies & NGO's behind it," Roy wrote on X. 

He continued: "The #SwampOmnibus comes in the context of Congress blowing past BIPARTISAN SPENDING CAPS enacted last year… by $69 BILLION… funding mass-illegal alien releases & radical progressive Democrat-run government $30 billion MORE than Pelosi." 

Despite the lack of earmarks for border security, the funding bill included a "GREEN agenda to limit beef production, and by the corporate meat oligopoly to DOMINATE small ranchers," Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) wrote on X.

"There's a $1,000,000 earmark in the omnibus bill for an LGBTQ center where people have bdsm sex parties," Massie also pointed out. 

And Massie also points out that it appears Republican votes are being bought again...

And more progressive nonsense, such as "Bus Stop Equity" in California.

Meanwhile...

Democrats continue to ignore the majority of their constituent's choices... 

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote on X: "Americans have had enough earmarks. And enough inflation. And enough illegal immigration."
