The House of Representatives returns next week to Washington, and a budget fight showdown is expected. The fiscal year ends Sept. 30, and Congress is tasked with having the fiscal 2025 budget ready to go by then, but it’s all but guaranteed it won’t be.  “What usually happens at this time is, we’ll get to the September 30th deadline, and we’ve seen this happen for years, regardless of who’s running the show, but we’ll kick the can down the road maybe a few weeks,” Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, explains.  The “can,” in this case, is the fiscal 2025 budget blueprint, and the “kick” is a continuing resolution that funds the government, usually for several weeks or months at a time.   It has become the habit of Congress a day or two before Christmas to “have this massive Christmas tree of an omnibus bill that gets passed that few people have read [because it’s] thousands of pages long, [includes] gobs amount of money, and doesn’t really do the American people the service that they deserve from their Congress,” Cloud says.  The Texas congressman says he’s doing everything he can to return the nation to fiscally responsible spending, noting that members of his own party are also partly responsible for the out-of-control spending in Washington.  “With the Left in charge, they raced toward this fiscal cliff, and Republicans, when we’ve been in charge, we jog toward that same cliff and call that progress,” Cloud laments. “I’m not willing to settle for something that doesn’t put us on the right path going forward.”  Cloud joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how Congress can take significant steps toward balancing the U.S. federal budget, and how the election could affect the financial fight in Congress this fall.  Listen to the podcast below: The post Congressman Calls on Fellow GOP Lawmakers to Quit Jogging Toward ‘Fiscal Cliff’ appeared first on The Daily Signal.

How Democrats Undermined Democracy

A group of 27 silver Roman Republic-era coins has been discovered in the ancient Acropolis of San Marco and Santa Teresa on the island of Pantelleria in the Strait of Sicily. The coins are all silver denarii minted in Rome between 94 and 74 B.C. The first coins were exposed when rain disturbed the topsoil. The rest were found under a boulder during an excavation of the acropolis led by archaeologist Thomas Schäfer of the University of Tübingen. Schäfer and his colleagues have been excavating the site for 25 years, and in 2010 they unearthed 107 Roman Republican silver denarii from the exact same date range in that area of the acropolis. Schäfer believes the two coin finds were buried in a single instance. Schäfer hypothesizes that this small treasure was hidden during one of the frequent pirate attacks of the period: in those years, in fact, the campaign of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus was underway in the Mediterranean, who, on behalf of the Roman Senate, fought and destroyed the imposing pirate fleets. There were frequent raids against the villages along the coast and it is easy to imagine that someone hid the nest egg when the ships arrived, without being able to recover it. Spread over the twin hills of San Marco and Santa Teresa, the site contains the remains of the acropolis of Cossura (the Roman name for Pantelleria). The town was found by the Carthaginians in the 7th century B.C. and they built the acropolis on the hills and in the space between them. The Romans occupied the island in 217 B.C. during the Second Punic War. They put their own stamp of the acropolis, adding the Comitium, the meeting place for Curiate Assembly and the center of Roman political and legal activity. The Comitium has survived in good condition, one of only five known in the Roman world.
