The news is out: [Making good on repeated threats to do so, Trump vetoed the fiscal year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, a $741 billion defense bill that funds the Department of Defense and had passed both chambers of Congress with strong bipartisan support.
He vetoed the NDAA over unrelated issues such as social-media protection laws. The president also objected to efforts by Congress to rename military bases named after Confederate leaders.
“My Administration recognizes the importance of the Act to our national security,” Trump said in a statement on his decision to veto the bill.]
Let’s not forget that the US spends over 1 trillion dollars on defense, every single year; yet has no money to help struggling Americans.

I was educated in Catholic schools and spent 6 years at the Petit Seminaire College Saint-Martial, a Jesuit seminary. I am a twice Ordained minister from the Open Ministry Church, and the Universal Life Church The Monastery. I am not religious or an atheist, I enjoy spirituality. Religion, politics and gardening (not necessarily in that order) are my favorite subjects of conversation.
Other areas of interest include: Human diversity, criminal and constitutional law (graduated from the police academy CCJST), Africa, ancient history, slavery, automotive technology and research at the GM training Center (Tech I and III), Chrysler Technical Training (BE and T-121).
