The House voted on Saturday to pass a series of spending packages designating $95 billion in foreign aid to Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and Taiwan. A separate vote was taken on each aid proposal with $60 billion allocated for Ukraine‚ about $17 billion for Israel‚ $9 billion for humanitarian aid‚ and $8 billion to support Taiwan. Another bill that could ban TikTok if the company is not taken out of Chinese control was also passed. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faced pushback from some Republicans in the House who wanted him to hold votes on foreign aid spending until more funding for border security measures was secured. After the votes‚ Johnson said that global threats from Russia‚ Iran‚ and China necessitated American leadership and support for the spending. The Taiwan proposal passed 385-34 with support from 178 Republicans and 207 Democrats‚ and opposition from 34 Republicans. The Ukraine proposal passed 311-112 with 101 Republicans and 210 Democrats in support‚ and opposition from 112 Republicans. Israel aid passed 366-58 with support from 193 Republicans and 173 Democrats‚ and opposition from 21 Republicans and 37 Democrats.

President Joe Biden praised the passage of the foreign spending package shortly after the vote. “Today‚ members of both parties in the House voted to advance our national security interests and send a clear message about the power of American leadership on the world stage‚” he said. “At this critical inflection point‚ they came together to answer history’s call‚ passing urgently-needed national security legislation that I have fought for months to secure.” Leaders from Israel and Ukraine also thanked the House for passing the bills. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Not everyone was happy with the votes‚ though‚ with some Republicans upset that Johnson did not force Democrats to make concessions on border security before putting the bills up for a vote. “The House of Representatives and Speaker Mike Johnson don’t give a damn about the American people‚ our border‚ our jobs‚ our economy‚ or our national security‚” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said. “Congress has already sent $113 BILLION to Ukraine. We shouldn’t send another penny.” “This is the United States House of Representatives while our own border is wide open‚” Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) posted on X alongside a picture of Democrats waving Ukrainian flags during the vote. “Unbelievable.” This is the United States House of Representatives while our own border is wide open. Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/kJS7yeEDWZ — Rep. Barry Moore (@RepBarryMoore) April 20‚ 2024 Each of the aid proposals alongside the TikTok measure will now be bundled as one and sent to the Senate.

Liberal comedian Bill Maher praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis this week for taking the fight to Disney over their sexualization of children. Maher‚ host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher‚” made the remarks during his “new rule” segment on his show on Friday‚ which was about Hollywood’s sexualization of children. “Have you all been watching the Max documentary called ‘Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV’&;#63; OMG. Nickelodeon‚ it wasn’t a studio‚ it was Neverland Ranch with Kraft services‚” Maher said. “It is just scene after scene‚ clip after clip‚ of the child stars of their day being subjected to obviously inappropriate highly sexualized degradation‚ and quite a few pickles going through glory holes.” “I don’t know if this documentary is the talk of your town‚ but it is out here because it didn’t just expose a dangerous workplace‚ it also exposed hypocrisy because it must be pointed out that when the evil governor of Florida was saying the exact same thing about kids and creepy stuff at Disney — that liberals now find intolerable at Nickelodeon — he was dismissed as a hick and a bigot‚” he continued. “But why would a kids content factory like Disney be all that different than the one at Nickelodeon&;#63; A 2014 CNN report discovered that at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children.” “You know‚ Willie Sutton said he robbed banks because that’s where the money is. And the reason we find pedophiles in the Boy Scouts and the rectory and kids TV is that’s where the kids are‚” he continued. “DeSantis wasn’t wrong‚ but we’re so tribal now‚ the Left will overlook child f***ing if the guy from the wrong party calls it out. Sure‚ Nickelodeon messed up Amanda Bynes‚ but the Mickey Mouse Club was where Britney Spears got her start and she’s perfectly fine.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “And get this‚ after Brian Peck‚ who was one of the lead creeps at Nickelodeon served 16 months in prison for the molesting he did there‚ Disney hired him — naturally to work on a children’s series‚” he added. “For pedophiles in Hollywood‚ it’s a small world after all.” Maher mocked leftists who say that “this is wrong and this is bad and exposing kids to an adult world of lurid costumes and garish makeup borders on abuse” yet they take their kids to drag queen story hour. “Sure kids love a clown‚ but does the clown have to have t**s&;#63;” Maher asked. “And when I see a 5-year-old tipping — tipping — at a bar under a sign that says‚ ‘It’s Not Going To Lick Itself‚’ do I have to pretend that’s cool in order to keep my liberal ID card&;#63; Sorry‚ I can’t do that.” He said that progressives were wrong‚ they’re not “adults wise beyond their years‚ they’re morons.” “They’re gullible morons who’ll believe anything and just want to please grown ups‚” he said. “And they don’t have any frame of reference‚ so they normalize whatever is happening. That’s why endlessly talking about gender to six year olds isn’t just inappropriate‚ it’s what the law would call entrapment‚ which means enticing people into doing something they wouldn’t ordinarily do.” WATCH: It turns out for pedophiles in Hollywood‚ &;quot;It's A Small World After All.&;quot; pic.twitter.com/4qUtOhXZYL — Bill Maher (@billmaher) April 20‚ 2024

Blake Shelton met the love of his life‚ Gwen Stefani‚ 10 years ago‚ and it wasn’t exactly love at first sight. Today‚ Blake and Gwen are the gold standard of couple goals. After dating for six years‚ they said “I do” inside a chapel built on Blake’s ranch in Tishomingo‚ Oklahoma‚ in 2021. Blake became a stepfather to her three sons that day‚ and the family is now a tight-knit group that loves to spend their time living the country life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) But when the pair first laid eyes on each other‚ there weren’t instant sparks. As Blake shared with ET‚ he met Gwen while they were working on The Voice in 2014. She was pregnant with her youngest son‚ Apollo‚ and married to Gavin Rossdale at the time. He was married to fellow county singer‚ Miranda Lambert. While Blake and Gwen worked side-by-side‚ they rarely spoke to each other that first year. And Blake didn’t think they had enough in common to become more than professional acquaintances. “You would see her out at the red chairs if there was a production meeting or whatever and I feel like I got to know Pharrell [Williams] more that year than I did Gwen‚” he continued. “It wasn’t until the season she came back‚ the next one‚ that the pieces were falling together.”  Critics Thought Blake Shelton And Gwen Stefani Would Never Last When filming kicked back in the following year‚ life looked much different for Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Both singers were having behind-the-scenes marital troubles‚ which led to divorce. Blake and Miranda finalized their divorce that July. Gwen and Gavin filed the following month. That November‚ Gwen announced her budding romance with her now-husband. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) At the beginning of their relationship‚ Gwen and Blake had many critics. People believed they were simply rebounds and far too different to last. While they clearly proved the naysayers wrong‚ Blake can’t blame them for having doubts. Because back in 2014‚ he would have said the same things. “If you would’ve told me the first season that we met that — what was gonna happen‚ I would’ve been like‚ ‘No‚ we actually don’t even have anything to even talk about‚ you know&;#63;” he shared. “What are you talking about&;#63;’ … It’s crazy how things work out.”  This story’s featured image is by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for TNT.
