The Build Back Better plan is still alive. However, Senator Joe Manchin remains a key vote and President Biden has yet to fully convince him to support this bill. Meanwhile, there is a widespread effort by conservatives to strengthen the Taylor Force Act, a federal law that prohibits funding for the Palestinian Authority until it stops funding terrorists. As we’ve told you, the Taylor Force Act was named after an American veteran — Taylor Force – who was murdered by a Palestinian jihadist while studying abroad in Israel through the Vanderbilt business program.
Senator Bill Hagerty (TN) joined Sekulow to discuss how this law could be strengthened:
"With respect to the Taylor Force Act . . . the fact is that Taylor was a veteran, but also a student at Vanderbilt business school, so it certainly rings close to home when we find out these martyr payments are being made by the Palestinian Authority. The original intent of the bill that was signed by President Trump was to stop U.S. humanitarian aid from going to the Palestinian Authority as long as they were going to these Pay to Slay programs. The problem with this is that money is fungible. They figured ways to get around this so what we want to do is make it considerably stronger. And what we are going to do is focus on the banking system. This provides additional authority to designate foreign banks who are involved in money laundering and forbid them from holding or using any type of corresponding accounts in the United States if they are involved with martyr payments to terrorists or if they knowingly provide financial services to Hamas. . . . So, this is going to be a much stronger and tighter way to address . . . using the financial system, cutting off the payment system to these guys, so they can no longer abuse this and continue to conduct this awful Pay to Slay program where they pay people who are murderers if they martyr themselves."
The Left is focusing their efforts on desperately trying to push President Biden’s Build Back Better plan to be passed through the Senate before Christmas. ACLJ Director of Government Affairs Thann Bennett explained the movement on this bill:
"We have had about 12 different versions of this bill and we’ve had about 10 or 15 different drop-dead deadlines; this Christmas deadline is just one of the most recent one of those. I would tell you two things that might seem to contradict each other. On the one hand, I don’t think they are going to be able to pass it before Christmas. But I would quickly follow up on that and say you should not assume that. Because I will tell you this, as soon as they can get 50 votes in the United States Senate, it doesn’t matter if they have written the bill or not . . . they will vote on it. So, if Chuck Schumer says that he’s trying to work with the President to get Senator Manchin on board before Christmas, we have to operate on that timeline. . . . There are really only two versions of this bill that we can go by right now, the one that passed the House, which is scored at 1.75 trillion or 1.85 trillion if you count the immigration provisions . . . or this one that . . . is a blank sheet of paper . . . this is in front of Senator Joe Manchin. Whatever he writes, that is what is going to be on the Senate floor eventually."

The anti-American deep state TRAITORS fund everything but what is good for America and Americans!!!!!!!!!!
The worst of the American Peoples Enemies hide in the shadows among them and use every resource available to destroy the concept and existence of "The Great American Experiment." To these the Constitution is no Foundation Barrier and the Bill of Rights have become merely an inconvenience.

SO TRUE!
Why on earth would any law abiding person want to fund terrorism and terrorists. Just how low will the de"mock"rats go?
Our domestic scientists are in the same league as the terrorists and even on the payroll of the Chinese communists. Want proof then read this:

Close them down and charge them with treason!
I think what needs to be recognized is that many of those serving in our congress are 'One World Government' advocates. I can easily imagine them kneeling in prayer to their idol, the UN.
YUP!
I have no objection to aiding our allies in times of distress but why are we sending money to despots in countries that side with our enemies; money by the way that seems not to help the people in those countries but only build up the bank accounts of thieves?
