BIG UPDATE: Sen. Eric Schmitt Teases Critical Amendment to SAVE America Act — Says He’s Working “Closely” With Donald Trump Ahead of Senate Floor Showdown This Week

 This article is thanks to Ricepaddydaddy!

The battle over election integrity and conservative priorities in Washington is heating up as Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) revealed that a major update to the SAVE America Act is expected to hit the Senate floor this week, complete with a powerful amendment crafted in coordination with President Donald Trump.

The announcement signals a major escalation in the ongoing fight between America First lawmakers and the entrenched Washington establishment that has repeatedly obstructed conservative reforms.

In an explosive video statement, the Missouri senator teased his amendment, which builds on the core protections of citizenship proof and photo ID by targeting the Democrats’ favorite fraud tool: mass mail-in balloting.

Schmitt:
“Okay, some big news on the SAVE America Act. It is finally coming to the Senate floor this week. I’ve been working with President Trump in the White House and will be introducing a substitute amendment that would include not just proof of citizenship to vote and photo ID, but also getting rid of the mass mail-in balloting scam we’ve seen in too many places.

The amendment would allow mail-in balloting only for the military, the elderly, people with disabilities, or those who are absent—reasonable situations like that. It would also ban transgender mutilation for kids and keep men out of women’s sports.

These are widely popular measures. I’ll be working with Senator Lee and many others in the Senate to get this done this week.”

WATCH:

It can be recalled that Senator Mike Lee said recent discussions with Thune and his staff have led to meaningful progress on how the bill could be debated and brought to a vote.

Lee confirmed the breakthrough in a new video clip: a HYBRID form of the talking filibuster is now set to be implemented.

Sen. Mike Lee: “Okay, important update on the Save America Act and the effort to get it passed. Look, I am guardedly optimistic. We’ve turned kind of a corner over the last few days.

[…]

What we’re coming up with is something that I think is best described as a hybrid version of the talking filibuster. But look, let’s not get mired down in nomenclature. What matters far more than what we call it is what we do with it.

We’re going to bring it to the floor. We’re going to debate it for an extended period of time before filing cloture. And in my view—at least, I don’t want to speak for anyone else—this bill needs to remain on the Senate floor before we file cloture for as long as it takes to get it done.

Belgium PM Bart De Wever Defended Restoring Relations With Russia and Buying Their Cheap Energy – and Now the Whole Globalist Establishment Is Turning on Him

PM De Wever from Belgium did the unthinkable in today’s Europe: put his citizens’ welfare above political considerations.

De Wever is under pressure for saying an obvious truth – but the voters are with him.

In Globalist, decadent Europe, whatever you do, you can’t put the needs of your population above the political narrative of the day.

So, when Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever’s suggested that the EU should negotiate with Russia and buy their cheap energy, he sent waves across the old continent.

De Wever’s enlightened suggestion has put him in collision course with Globalists at home and abroad.

Politico reported:

“Speaking to L’Echo, Belgium’s leader made the case for a deal to ‘normalize’ relations with Moscow to regain access to cheap energy, as costs spiral thanks to another war in the Middle East. 

Opposition politicians reacted furiously, while parties within De Wever’s government were also quick to distance themselves. Belgium’s ruling coalition required 236 days to negotiate a detailed reform agenda, and their ongoing disagreements have repeatedly turned into public quarrels.”

For Euro-Globalists, to ‘support Ukraine’ is more important than the fate of their own nations.

What De Wever said is verboten, since the EU demands all its members to be rabidly anti-Russia, and doesn’t want a discussion on how its own energy sanctions are hurting itself.

“De Wever’s comments also come after a nationwide poll last week revealed he enjoys widespread support, with the Flemish-nationalist leader’s popularity not only at a record high in Dutch-speaking Flanders, but also growing in French-speaking Wallonia. The strong polling may help explain the prime minister’s willingness to push a politically sensitive argument.”

Euronews reported:

“The European Union remains divided on the issue. French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán have called for direct talks with Moscow, while Poland and the three Baltic states are firmly opposed.

‘In private, European leaders agree with me, but no one dares to say it out loud. We must end the conflict in the interest of Europe, without being naïve towards Putin’, De Wever said. At the same time, we must normalize relations with Russia and regain access to cheap energy. That is common sense’, De Wever said.

[…] ‘Given that we are unable to pressure Putin by sending weapons to Ukraine, and cannot suffocate his economy without US support, only one method remains: making a deal’, he said.”
