Battlespace Preparation II
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes, formerly of Como Park, emails:
A federal government shutdown is coming in three weeks. Democrats and the media will have a meltdown and will try to frighten the public, claiming the sky is falling and we are all going to die. Get ready for it. The shutdown will be tough but it is neecessary.
The federal budget is … unknown. We don’t have a budget. We haven’t had an actual budget where expenditures are debated and prioritized since 2019, when Trump was last in office. Every year of the Biden administration, Congress simply spent money without caring what it was spent on or how much was spent. The money runs out March 14.
The federal government spends about $6 Trillion but only takes in about $4 Trillion so it borrows the other $2 Trillion. That’s the deficit – the amount we are short – $2,000,000,000,000. That is how much fraud and waste Elon Musk is hoping to cut, just to get income and outgo to break even. That’s how much Democrats (and, to be fair, some RINOs, too) are trying to protect.
Come March, Trump must either cave in to Congress and continue to let them have a blank check, or he must stand up to Congress and refuse to sign more blank checks. If he refuses and Congress does not come up with a budget acceptable to him, the government shuts down until an acceptable deal is made.
Trump is a deal maker but he is not a quitter. The showdown is coming and the shutdown is his only leverage. Get ready for it.

We all know how libturds will vote. But we also know how Rinos will as well. Turtle has now joined Collins/Murkowski cabal. Rand will also vote against anything that does not cut spending. I also see rinos are sticking to new green deal ethanol mandate that only benefits car manufacturers and Iowa. Pork is really hard to wean from once you taste it. This will be a fight for the ages – I do not see Trump backing off.
