Sen. Rand Paul Blasts 'Priorities' of Flag Wavers on the House Floor (and They Were NOT U.S. Flags)

This afternoon the House of Representatives voted to approve another round of foreign aid amounting to nearly $100 billion: 

The House is pushing swiftly through a series of votes in a rare Saturday session to approve $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies, Democrats and Republicans joining together after a grueling monthslong fight over renewed American support for repelling Russia's invasion.

With overwhelming support, the House approved the Ukraine portion, a $61 billion aid package, in a strong showing of American backing as lawmakers race to deliver a fresh round of U.S. support to the war-torn ally. Some lawmakers cheered, waiving blue-and-yellow flags of Ukraine.

As the story said, the flags were waving on the House floor -- except they weren't U.S. flags: 

As the Ukraine bill is about to come to a vote in House, Ukrainian flags are being handed out en masse on the Democratic side of the chamber with many members holding them

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul hammered the government's "priorities" while the U.S. border remains porous and the nation is $35 trillion in debt and going up a trillion every hundred days: 

Ukrainian flags fly in the chamber of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives as they vote to send more of your hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime. And just like that they shout “UKRAINE! UKRIANE!”while happily working to secure Ukraine’s borders, not ours. pic.twitter.com/BGbUlDS7vG

"America last priorities" are on display again:

Simply amazing.

And in another 2.5 months Ukraine will have made zero progress and be asking for more

That's almost a certainty.

Meanwhile...

NEW: Border numbers continue to rise. Per CBP sources, there were just over 7,000 encounters at the southern border yesterday, following two days in a row of approx. 6,500, when prior weeks had been mostly in the 4,000s & 5,000s.
First 7,000 day I can recall since early March.

All is well!
