House Republicans, who passed the amendments in July, agreed to drop them from the annual Defense policy bill, according to an updated draft released Thursday. The House-passed NDAA had sought to block the Defense Department (DOD) from funding drag shows and gender-affirming health care. …
The legislation also sought to prohibit funding for the Department of Defense Education Activity … from being used to purchase or maintain library books with certain LGBTQ themes. The amendment, which Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) introduced, specifically targeted learning materials considered “pornographic” or that promoted “radical gender ideology.”
More than 150 House Democrats said Boebert’s amendment threatened to erase “the existence of transgender people by banning books that mention gender identity” in a September letter to leadership of the House and Senate Armed Services committees. …
Thursday’s proposed compromise still has several hurdles to clear before it can head to President Biden’s desk, including a final vote in the House, where it’s likely to face opposition from hard-line conservatives. …

Father, my heart aches and breaks in hearing about “compromise.” Father, I cry out to You to give aid to those who oppose these amendments, which cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Give them resolve, love, and the right words to state the the government should not and must not fund special interest groups such as this one. Come to our aid, O Most Holy God. Amen.
Cowardice in the Face of the Enemy must NEVER be promoted or accepted. For far too many who have gladly accepted the high offices of “Government” with the related “Compensations”, the words Honour and Duty have been instantly abandoned once seated comfortably within The Capitol. SHAME ON THEM !
To those contemplating a governmental life of “Whatever suits my purposes” had better think again. God ( and We the People ) are not foolish enough to permit a life of Abandoned Principles with a planned and deceit-filled “End of Life” prayer for forgiveness as acceptable either here on earth or before our God and Maker in Heaven.
Republicans in both Houses really MUST return to the fold and stand together AGAINST Evil and the policies of Evil – NO COMPROMISE ! You now have a Speaker of Faith – be lead by him in Gods’ ways !
My Lord and Saviour, please hear my words now. This compromise to me is unacceptable. Our God does not make junk and is not the author of confusion. Behavior of this kind appears to be rebellion against him whom created us in his own image designed to replenish the earth. I do pray for your intervention, my God before this country goes down a path as many other countries in history which no longer exist. May the God of Israel be praised. Hear our prayer oh Lord and grant our request. If we have found grace in your sight. Amen
