 WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today spoke on the Senate floor ahead of the final passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2024, which contains numerous priorities that benefit South Dakota and the B-21 bomber mission at Ellsworth Air Force Base. Thune noted that in addition to the NDAA, Congress must prioritize passing a national security supplemental bill that provides support to the United States’ allies – like Israel and Ukraine – and contains meaningful measures to secure the southern border.

  1. You will not get the invasion at the southern boarder stopped until you stop the flow of money. Then the administration and federal agency’s will ask you what you want. The NDAA was a 3% increase from last year, Government spending is driving the decrease in the purchasing value of the dollar, something like 20% since 2020.

  2. This NDAA really drug the Constitution through the mud.

    Ukraine money.

    Expanded domestic surveillance.

    Limitation on Presidential powers with respect to NATO.

    And some other things that should be voted on single subject.

    Quite disappointed in Speaker Johnson’s inability to hold this promise.

    Good for Ellsworth and the Air Force and the companies who provide the invasive technology.

    They’ll reap currency, but the core value of the republic is slipping away.
