Liberty, it is widely known that what is needed at the moment is to pay for the overspending of trump, that is why we now need yet another rise in the debt ceiling..

I also want to make clear that while the republicans have for generations labeled the Dems as the tax and spend party, the mess the national debt has become is caused by the republicans spending wild and putting everything on the credit card.. if the GOP had made payment a part of spending we would not be in this position at all. now they hold the government hostage in order to try and resuscitate the remains of the republican party.. to little, to late.. trump destroyed the old GOP as he tried to destroy the USA.. now comes the need to pay the piper and the GOP will be held to pay for what the trumpster did..

ST. PAUL, Minn. — An arbitration panel has ordered MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell to pay $5 million to a software engineer for breach of contract in a dispute over data that Lindell claims proves that China interfered in the U.S. 2020 e******ns and tipped the outcome to Joe Biden.

But Lindell told The Associated Press on Thursday that he has no intention of paying and that he expects the dispute to land in court.

Lindell, a prominent promoter of false claims that v****g machines were manipulated to steal the 2020 p**********l e******n, launched his "Prove Mike Wrong Challenge," as part of the "Cyber Symposium" he staged in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in August 2021, to further his theories. Lindell offered through one of his companies a $5 million reward for anyone who could prove that "packet captures" and other data he released there were not valid data "from the November 2020 e******n."

Robert Zeidman is a conservative Republican who entered the challenge with a 15-page report that concluded the data from Lindell did not "contain packet data of any kind and do not contain any information related to the November 2020 e******n." A panel of contest judges that included a Lindell attorney declined to declare Zeidman a winner. So Zeidman filed for arbitration under the contest rules.

After conducting an evidentiary hearing in Minneapolis in January, the three arbitrators on Wednesday ordered Lindell to pay Zeidman $5 million.

"He proved the data Lindell LLC provided, and represented reflected information from the November 2020 e******n, unequivocally did not reflect November 2020 e******n data," the arbitrators wrote. "Failure to pay Mr. Zeidman the $5 million prize was a breach of the contract, entitling him to recover."
