The House of Representatives failed to elect a House Speaker through three rounds of voting. Approximately 20 members of the Republican conference will not vote for Kevin McCarthy, as a result there is a stalemate. The Republican caucus requested adjournment until noon tomorrow, Wednesday January 4th.
Essentially Kevin McCarthy needs to: (1) step aside and accept he will not be Speaker, or (2) continue the House voting in futility, or (3) find a way to convince the Republican holdouts to support him.
“They’re just not into you Kevin”…
This has happened before, just not in the modern political era. The holdouts want Jim Jordan to accept the Speaker position.
Don’t get defrosted, worried or overly attached to any outcome. This is simply the way our system was designed.
May God bless and watch over the 20 brave Patriots that stood their ground and voted for We The People.

Time to write in Donald J. Trump!

I said the exact same thing. Let’s see who’s make America great again. Cull the heard then we know
Biggs, Gosar and Crane are from Az….they were told if they voted against McCarthy, that once McCarthy won, he would strip them of their committee assignments and they voted against him, anyway.
This is the price of working to have such a small R majority, its McCarthy getting “pay back”.
With a large majority, 20 votes wouldn’t be as much of a problem,…and recall it started with FIVE, then 14 more, realising the power the 5 had, joined in in a letter.
That got it to 19, and one more ‘switched’ on the second ballot.
And McCarthy is hoist by the very petard HE created, when he worked conscientiously to undermine MAGA candidates, and so getting a lower R majority, so that an initial 5 votes is enough to stop everything.
RULE CHANGES are VITAL, as are Committtee chair assignments, and both are at issue, in this Speakership battle.
ALL of the power of the House, that Pelosi MISUSED and ABUSED, could legitimately be brought to bear, for oversight hearings on FDA, CDC, Fauxi, etc.
On Border abandonment, on energy suppression, on FBI/DOJ, etc.
On J6 prisoner treatment, on how J6 was a set up, etc,..
On investigation of FBI and “whole of government” takeover of jacks coffee shop, etc.
Stripping 230 protections from Big tech, Monopoly on Media, breaking up MSM and Big Tech,..
Could even make Biden veto, or McConnell go along with blocking in the Senate, a Nationwide School Choice bill, where tax dollars follow the student,…and let them justify keeping, trapped 10’s of millions of school children in rotten Public Schools.
The House IS a ‘center of Power’; we have seen Pelosi wield it.
The battle of MAGA , to GET ahold of that Power, and use it pointing THE OTHER WAY, is raging, and WORTH the fight, to get it right.
I am grateful to these 20 for trying, however Kevin McFailure will be SOH tomorrow.
There is no way the Uniparty will allow any other outcome
Take it to the bank.
Was reading that right at the end JJ got a call from PDJT.
My bad it was Matt.
The Uniparty should authorize a few Dems to forgo the blue jerseys just this once and give Kevin the boost he needs.
The entire membership votes to elect the speaker, the demoncrats vote in lockstep for the muslimey demoncrat election denier jeffries.
If the dems put McCarthy over the top, they would own him,
They already own him.
Beat me to it.
We are sick, sick, sick, of voting for the lesser evil!
They would own him even more like a crooked time-share contract on a ramshackle rental unit in Port-au-Prince with views of the open sewage lakes…
Oh my, so many steadfast Uniparty deniers.
Did you hear the McCarthy-Cheney tapes? Whoever owns Cheney owns McCarthy too. He can’t be any more owned.
Do not confuse the Uniparty with the Deep State. Cheney is the female equivalent of John Bolton, and very dangerous. McCarthy is just another grifter. His assigned role as Speaker would be to conduct a raft of Benghazi style hearings to convince Joe and Joan Q Public that there is such a thing as accountability in DC. Although we should expect little from this Congress, do you really want to see Jordan stuck with an equally divided Judiciary Committee, with a Democrat co-chair? This is the sort of price the caucus will have to pay if McCarthy gets put over the top by Dem votes.
/s – you forgot your sarcasm symbol
thanks for clarifying things fragemail lol.
THAT will require concessions to the Democrats
If Jim jordan was elected speaker it would be a miracle.
We need a miracle.
We don’t need a democrate speaker.
Yeah, but if it gets JJ off an investigation in lieu of someone weaker then it might happen.
My cynicism says, “The last good news we will ever get out of DC was when Trump was elected in 2016, so we will hope, and hope, and hope some more, and then we will get Speaker Hakeem Jeffries.”
I hope I’m wrong. There’s that hope I mentioned. But I know that Lucy holds the football now, and have become accustomed to landing on my back.
When someone in your life that LIED TO YOU ALL ALONG, used deception and manipulation, is forced out into the open by “some circumstances in your life”…. and you recognize the size and nature of the problem… as well as seeing the fix for the problem, then “repair and restoration” can take place.
If Jeffries gets in (some of us don’t need it but “some of us” do need it), then people will be forced into a wider wake-up maybe for the good.
A painful path for sure but ALSO the path Trump selected for us by backing away and letting brandon steal it.
Just sayin.
Taq may I, somewhat gently, remind you that the cynicism you are hearing is coming from you-know-who. Advise you get up off your back and RECLAIM YOUR AUTHORITY! Roar like a LION. Stand the Enemy down. We need you on our side in this battle! With love, from your sister in Christ.
But, Jordan supported McCarthy from the start; if he’s as staunch conservative as we are led to believe, why is that.
Jordan is a team player. He is also a champion athlete in wrestling. He will need to be forced to move to center stage, a reluctant leader but a sincere leader who puts principles first, party second.
Stated another way, you are forced to go through a long, dark and very dangerous tunnel. Pick only one to go with you for survival: McCarthy or Jordan, knowing that your enemies lie in wait in that darkness and are prepared to kill you. This is real life not make believe…
Very astute move not to alienate the Republican middle.
Politics
McCarthy had encouraged JJ in his upcoming role as chair of the judiciary committee, and JJ wants to do that work — I think that is hy he is not interested in the speakership.
IF McCarthy were to step aside, would the remaining Rs agree to vote for anyone we would like?
Right, or would they vote Dem? I want Jim Jordan. In the best case, McCarthy would step back and nominate Jordan.
I read today that at least one (and I believe there are more) “moderate” Republicans have gone on the record to say that if McCarthy is not elected Speaker, they–the “moderate” Republicans–will work with the Democrats to elect a consensus choice.
At least they will out themselves if that’s the case and confirm for all to see the actual existence of a Uniparty that we all know to exist.
Very well put. And let’s learn from the MO legislative branch, where there are quite a few radical Dems serving as Republicans. This is where ranked choice voting comes from.
I anticipate that Dems and RINOs will pivot to Liz Cheney. The appropriate strategic response is for Gaetz and 10 others to become Independents, leaving the House split 212-212. Let’s call this the Manchin strategy– and it is cost free because the Uniparty will bend heaven and earth to primary these heretics. How dare they actually represent their constituencies!
No; please not Chaney!!
The House’s version of “ranked choice voting” … [sigh]
In that case there will be little to no difference.
McCarthy is so arrogant and sure of his eventual triumph, he apparently moved all his gear into the Speaker’s office.
T’would be a terrible, humiliating pity if he had to move it all out…
(tee-hee…snort)
THATS where it will end up;
Jordan has actually been put forward, because he is generally popular in the conference, even as he is MAGA.
And, he has National Recognition, with the base.
But, heis seen as being more of a “team player” (witness HIM being the one to nominate McCarthy, as an example) than some of the other MAGA candidates.
Zeldin has been mentioned, and its said he wants it, Biggs also mentioned.
Its possible we aren’t even naming, who the eventual Speaker is, their name is not on our ‘radar’, yet.
This really IS “what winning looks like”,…ENJOY it.
Why do I sense they already know the outcome?
Deals are being made.
Deals have been made.
Trump embodies the Art of the Deal.
But Trump is still promoting the Vaccine!
Do you honestly think PDJT ever got the full detailed info on any of the covid jabs?
If we can find it online, so can he.
His son in law, Jared Kushner, brags about how he ran the Covid response for the administration.
Jared Kushner betrayed President Trump and so did Netanyahu.
You have got to the heart of the matter. Trump relied upon a daughter and a son-in-law whose politics are anything but MAGA. The question is: did he know it, and choose to look the other way? Is loyalty to family his Achilles heel?
loyalty period is somewhat of a weakness for PDJT…I can’t say I can really fault a man who chooses to trust others but there does come a point where they have shown that they are not worthy of your loyalty any longer
Yes, it is Trump’s hubris.
No to all 3.
“Do you honestly think PDJT ever got the full detailed info on any of the covid jabs?”
At the time OWS was proposed to him, through the time vaxx was given EUA, and the distribution began? No, he absolutely was not given all, or even most, of the detailed info about any of it. He did what every Chief Executive does – listened to the people that were the subject matter experts, and who were supposedly on “his” team, including his own VP and his own SIL…I do not fault him trusting people who turned out to be anything but trustworthy!
BUT, in the last 18 months, there have been MOUNTAINS of information and evidence released regarding these products and he is STILL continuing to tout both the program and the product! And for that, I do fault him, TBH! My family has been torn apart, people I love are suffering SERIOUS health issues, and millions of people have lost their livelihoods!
Everyone needs to be willing to look at ALL of the info available and put aside their pride and their preferences and demand the TRUTH, for truly that is the ONLY thing that will set us free!
Well stated, but you are more generous than I am. Trump put his trust in the wrong people with such consistency that I have begun to wonder whether his ego made it easy to manipulate him.
No it didn’t. Trump has survived the “real sharks” for decades in the global business world. IMO, no one fooled Trump… which leads me to question WHY did he knowingly permit most to do what they did to him? I don’t know the answer. He knows why though.
Was it in part to “out” the traitors? The chess game many speak of requires thinking many moves ahead and preparing to take some hits. Yes, PDJT has taken more hits over the last 7 years than anyone in public life that I can remember and he has also taken the lid of the cesspool known as Washington DC. Was it worth it for him?
Have you forgotten Dr. Birx has stated on record she and Faxci lied to President Trump and Americans and altered the virus reports. They are the top infectious disease control and prevention Doctors in America. Ego? No – Just one example of people in top Government positions who are evil
From the beginning, there were doctors questioning the official narrative. If we could find them, so could Trump. What executive of his caliber would fail to ask someone to play devil’s advocate when shaping public policy on a matter of this importance? Like Kare508, I sense that we are missing a vital piece of the puzzle here.
“Trump put his trust in the wrong people…”
You mean like we have with our “representatives”?
He had a choice. We don’t.
Wrong. You have a greater choice than Trump ever had.
Pride and ego are cruel taskmasters.
Agreed!!
Agreed.
Not at first. After years of revelations about every thing that was done to him, including the Pentagon Generals, Admirals. He has to know, even if he won’t admit it
No, Deborah, and therein lies the problem. It is difficult to understand how bureaucrats
like Fauci didn’t set off a red flag in his mind. With the sole exception of Richard Grenell, his personnel choices were appalling. There is something in all of this that does not quite add up.
that excuse may have been tolerable in the first few months of the bioweapon…at this moment in time, there is no excuse whatsover to continue to be hustling mRNA vaccines. None. Even IF you believe the vaccine works! The variants that are transmitting and the global immunity combined have yielded a strong cold at best.
I am a HUGE FAN of President Trump..but his insistence to ignore even the most basic facts is more than confusing to me. It smacks of just plain hard headedness for the sake of only saying things over and over to a cheering crowd. He loses big points in my view, every single time he BRAGS about the mRNA vaccine and urges to get it…I know I am not alone.
having said that..I stated this long ago…there will come a moment when President Trump will not longer have power. No longer be “around”. This is a sane and rational view about ANY political figure.
the question IS: where does MAGA go from here, and who will become the new leader of it, championing victories for THE PEOPLE?
God Bless America
Marker’s of great $ value are being passed out like jellybeans to the grifters, traitors and leeches slithering around in the silent and murky dark depths of The Swamp.
The Uniparty don’t like it when the people stand up to them. Hence McCarthy throwing a hissy fit and not stepping aside.
Chip Roy is “our” congressman, and HE IS A RINO!!!
Over the past year or so, he has, uncharacteristically, been talking tough, growing a goatee, and garnering media attention.
In our opinion, he is undergoing a PR campaign in order to run for RINO Extraordinaire Senator Cornyn’s seat in the future.
He is an acolyte of Senator Ted Cruz, who has supported him from the beginning.
He did not support President Trump, and insulted his constituents with long, ARROGANT form letters telling them that he was going to do what HE thought best – despite their opinions!
CHIP ROY IS A RINO OF THE FIRST ORDER!!!
The Republicans asked for this mess, they deserve it too! After the struggle of Nov 6 where they barely made it across the finish line they have had two months to come to a reality and find a solution to lead–they failed as evidenced by today’s farce. RINOs see what they have created…I don’t think they care.
Jim Jordan is now standing off stage…I think he is ready to move to center stage but it won’t be by his direct efforts, it will come as others sense the futility with the somnolent McCarthy and fear that the democrats may take over the House once more.
Donald Trump may have backed McCarthy, but deep down he knows a fighter when he sees one and for that he has crossed fingers for Jim Jordan. Newt is going to be shoved into the background for demeaning this fight, but Paul Ryan will use his powers at Fox to keep him on their programs as a wedge.
It is war and war fighters are needed…anything less and we lose big time!
Last year trump said McCarthy should run and be a rep only..not speaker.
At least someone has a good memory. That is exactly what President Trump said.
Just heard Rep Lauren Bobert on Bannon’s Warroom. After the Freedom Caucus met with McCarthy this morning not only did he not agree to their requests. He refused the committee requests. But then in the conference meeting another supporter of McCarthy ( dang I can’t remember who it was) threatened all who voted against McCarthy that they would lose all their committee assignments. It was about a 5 min call from Bobert and I wish I had a link but Warroom doesn’t have the link up yet. I’m sure it will be on Gettr soon.
I think this is going to get interesting. I think it’s highly likely that McCarthy can’t get to the needed votes no matter how much maligning and cheese making he is trying to mix up.
THE NAME – Rep Mike Rogers of AL
THREATENED The FREEDOM CAUCUS to FOLLOW or ELSE
Rogers better hope McCarthy gets the nod because he if not, Rogers won’t have a lot of friends in leadership.
Payback is a 8itch!
Rep Bob Good VA 5 is Confirming the INFO on WARROOM BATTLEGROUND / LINDELL TV
That conversation with Rep Bob Good was very revealing. Going beyond the threats issued he actually came out and told Bannon that McCarthy basically had no soul. All he cared about was getting the speakership and the country be damned. He’s like Hillary, it’s his turn and he’s gonna get what he wants at any cost.
I expect that when they start with the 4th round of voting there will be more supporters dropping off from McCarthy. I don’t especially want Jordan to be speaker since he is good on the investigating end of things. I don’t know the best person for the job but I don’t want McCarthy. I’d like someone who has some principles and values.
Jim Jordan for Speaker of the US House of Representatives.
McConnell and McCarthy are RINOs that must be purged
from any Leadership position. They do nothing to stop
Election Fraud. Election Fraud will eventually disintegrate
and collapse the Republican Party.
they encourage and SUPPORT it….what do you mean they do nothing to stop it?….that is the furthest thing from their minds….they need to STOP MAGA or they would have a peasant revolt in DC
In reality, this is the best thing for the country. Let it play out.
well, the least worse; zugzwang…
I think your view is accurate. However, I can name at least 5 different ways that the swamp might just be capable of maintaining power regardless of who the speaker actually becomes.
the tension and the inner fighting is definitely something special to observe…but what does actually happen and how much impact this has are two separate events.
Matt Gaetz probably had the most important comments made on the house floor in over 8 years:
one issue bills only
the power to motion a vote to remove the speaker…restore that rule that pelosi abandoned
process and debate restored…
whomever gets the speaker, if they do not effect these changes, there is nothing special about this battle. It will be a fictional horror movie but everyone actually gets to go home. theatre.
the proof that this house fight yields anything of any special significance takes place when the new speaker gavels and THOSE rules are changed!
until then “where’s the beef”.
God Bless America
Can you imagine the conversations that are taking place right now between both wings of the Uniparty? They have got to be frantic with worry that their grip on the destruction of this country is being threatened. I would presume that some commie dems may have to “cross the aisle” and “vote their conscience” and cast a vote for KMc if it gets close to an unapproved candidate getting the job.
I hope that Matt Gaetz continues to “burn it down to the ground”. The RINOs have exposed themselves by back-stabbing PDJT and voting for every spending proposal that the commie dem wing offered up.
I want to see the RINO party demolished. A bird cannot fly with one wing missing.
Whatever wheeling and dealing goes on tonight and tomorrow morning behind closed doors reminds me of the catchy song from Hamilton — “I want to be in the room where it happens…” The lyrics are brilliant and well-crafted, and make you realize that back-room drama has been a part of government from day one. I think the Freedom Caucus is finally demanding to be “in the room where it happens.” Interesting to see how this all plays out…
I’ll make this prediction right now: There are two sets of conversations going on right now. The first set is McCarthy trying to woo some Dems over to his side. However, my feeling is McCarthy cannot afford to give too much to the Democrats in exchange for their votes.
But the second set of conversations taking place are Democrats talking to “moderate” Republicans trying to get their support for a consensus candidate. That is a MUCH more likely arrangement and probably what will happen.
Watch for the “moderate” Republicans to stab voters in the back. Snakes gonna bite, insects gonna sting, Republicans gonna back-stab. Its just who they are.
Mccarthy painted himself into a corner, he probably knows he’s finished.
Very interesting article
https://redstate.com/joesquire/2023/01/03/why-did-kevin-mccarthy-wait-so-long-to-try-to-win-people-over-n682696
This is the most likely outcome.
I’d be surprised if Jim Jordan wins.
Start flooding Jim Jordan’s office with calls to except the Speakers seat. If not him than President Trump himself should go for it.
Kash Patel or Devin Nunes.
Do you think Kash would accept an offer as lead investigator for Judiciary or Oversight?
The GOP has embarrassed themselves enough for one day.
The cheer leading fascist democrats were more embarrassing
Why,about time we had this debate.open goverment,not pretty but efective.
Oh, just wait. The Republicans will REALLY debase themselves when a dozen or so “moderate” Republicans cut a deal with the Democrats and elect a consensus Speaker.
As I said in another forum, hey Utah:
Burgess Owens, R
Blake Moore, R
Chris Stewart, R
John Curtis, R
Each one of them supported Kevin McCarthy. EVEN AFTER 2 FAILED ATTEMPTS:
Why?
Utah (and all LDS) from neighboring states are as deep state as they come.
All LDS are Deep Staters? That’s kinda harsh, don’t you think?
Nope….Carpet Bagger Romney moves from Gov of Massachusetts to Utah Senator cause…Mormons.
That as one of the weirdest things I have seen.
That John Fetterman who won the Senate race in Pa, is another weirdo.
The guy is not even sentient.
He can not speak or think, he does not appear to know where he is most of the time and he now represents Penn. in the Senate.
Weird.
Romney and Fetterman, two strange guys roaming the halls of Congress Utah and Pennsylvania.
Yep weird, very weird.
Oz was a stupid candidate and a Turk who loves Erdogan. It’s like the PA GOP is as lame as the CA-GOP; lets elect candidates who suck and will lose. No deep Red candidate in PA at all and had to pick Oprah’s best friend?
Story to tell…about ten years ago while living in CA and selling packaging equipment, Utah was part of my territory. Stayed at a hotel in Layton, next morning at check out asked where the nearest Starbucks was. The entire check out team went silent, looked at each other and no one said a word. After a minute of silence I hear a pssst and a lady who worked there poked from around a corner and motioned me over and whispered directions to Starbucks. I asked why we were whispering, her eyes shifted to the counter and I whispered back LDS. She gave me a nod.
Later I learned Mormons are not to take stimulants and coffee was on the list.
Strange indeed.
When Kevin negotiated, if you want to call it that, in bad faith..ie the 11th hour when a month previous they tried. When he waffled and refused to commit to much of anything including, single bill and named legislation, fair tax, balanced budget and more essential items to right our country from the como dems and rinos and lied about it..more than enough said. He refused. Now the dem caucus will not support him as they know he will get few gop votes to go with watering down the even less he would remotely agree to do. And lastly being so crass and presumptuous to move his items into the speakers office when he knew he did not have the votes..sets a horrible tone. Add in the turtle, McDaniel and newt want him, and NE rep. Bacon said he’d vote for a dem ie jefferies…. More than enough said. Jim Jordan even if the speaker could still chair or be brought in for high level questioning and prosecution work.
From Sessions to Wray to Barr to McCarthy…when do Trump’s personnel decisions start to look more ‘calculatedly self-sabotaging’ than authentically crappy?
Trump never could staff MAGA to save his life. It’s an enduring mystery.
Trump is not a politician
He could have read about them when he reads his 4 newspapers at 5 AM every morning…. or all the years he was a “GOP kingmaker” whose office you had to visit in NYC like Dems visiting al-Sharpton to kiss his stolen ring in order to get the “endorsement”….. or that he had to have not 1 but 2 doctors brief him on partial-birth abortions before he understood it………and all the NYC, NJ, Las Vegas , Florida palms of politicians he had to grease to get his resorts built or zoning eased, etc…… or that he wanted to move the White House to his penthouse……. or that he did not know his daugther and son-in-law were liberal dems and could not register in time. He had to know, if not more than us, that his picks were losers. An non-politician could see how lame these picks were a mile away. I wonder if he or his family even donated to the WeBuildTheWall fund. He did throw the Air Force veteran under the bus after the first segment went up that steep incline in El Paso…even after his son was on the podcast rally.
You’re describing doing business. I’ve met many business owners and some are sharp others not so much. Sharp ones can grasps concepts, absorb data and make decisions. I believe that’s how Trump operates. He knows real estate, construction, banking and regulations to do his business. Did he know how DC operates, I don’t think so.
Washington DC is in the business of spending our money, quite a different animal than building value and creating things for profit. Trump relied on “experts” and THEY screwed him at every opportunity because he brought value to DC. He was walling the border despite every obstacle Congress threw at him. He repatriated a trillion dollars stashed in overseas corporate accounts by negotiating lower tax rates which infuriating the Dems. Trump showed how effective government could be and that was too much for both the senate and House.
When you have a pile of sh!t covered vipers to choose from, what do you expect?
and another group of like-minded recommending them with a THIRD group holding back confirmation to only their approved list of candidates it does tend to limit the choices
There are over 200 million working-age adults in America, of which I am one, maybe you too.
Trump needed 15 of them to staff his cabinet.
I resent the inference of being a sh!t covered viper.
Not intended for you, FSD. I gaur-on-tee I could pick 14 Treehousers(the Boss is a given) and we could have an outstanding cabinet compared to the jokers he was dealing with!
last I saw there were approximately 165-170M working-age CITIZENS in America……you may choose to include those here illegally sucking up resources and waived by our government but I do NOT…..there are about 4 THOUSAND executive department positions to staff by an incoming administration…..maybe you have that many trustworthy friends in your pocket but few do
The problem is, there’s nothing to choose from.
Many of the cabinet and department heads were installed by McConnell…. Senate confirmation required. The people Trump really wanted , including Supreme Court appointees, were blocked by McConnell.
But low information rookie MAGA types that are really just RINOs love to blame Trump.
He couldn’t have who he wanted because most of the appointments required Senate confirmation…… The Turtle
As Matt Gaetz said, “If you want to drain the swamp, you cannot put the biggest alligator in charge of the exercise.”
I think he should have said snake.
And in the Senate it is turtle.
So now the IC shows up and hands the packets on each of the dissenters to Kevin. Any skelatons/regrets they have are front and center in the packet. By tomorrow things will be better for Kevin.
McCarthy got spanked hard today. This is what happens when a wanna be House Speaker works to undermine Republican candidates he doesn’t like, let this be a lesson to other wanna be Republican leaders. Paybacks can be hell.
Maybe if he promises to be a good boy and sez he learned his lesson they might just let him become the Speaker of The House, but only if he promises not to stab any more Republicans in the back that he doesn’t like.
McCarthy should realize that we have had 6+ years of BULLSH!T and we have had it.
LOL……you better wakey wakey because you have been asleep a loooooong time…….they have been cooperating and screwing the American public for far longer than “6 years”……….think to at least Nixon’s Opening of China in 1972 and the relaxation and acceptance of that nation into the world financial markets in the 90s under BJ Clinton
Oh, how about when the bastards voted the Fed and income tax in? Been a LONG time!
well if you do your research the income tax (16th Amendment) and popular vote for US Senate (17th Amendment) were neither legally ratified and the Federal Reserve Banking Act is blatantly unconstitutional because it modifies the powers that are distributed to CONGRESS by a statutory bill, not an amendment…….if you want to move to the dawn of the Progressive era then look to Teddy the father of it all and then it was strengthened and reinforced under Wilson with the unconstitutional acts you write about
I’d go back farther to when the CIA assassinated JFK in ’63.
Although we agree on a lot here, I cannot agree the CIA was involved in JFK assassination. True CIA set JFK up thinking they could force him to send US troops after they pulled air cover from the Cuban rebel assaulting the beach. While earlier air cover destroyed many Cuban aircraft, three T33’s remained and caused havoc on the rebel invasion. Kennedy stood up to both US military and CIA and in addition, pulled 20% of CIA budget.
A former Marine and expert rifleman turn commie bragged he would kill Kennedy for invading Cuba and ordered a rifle which was delivered via mail. Dallas newspaper published the motorcade route and noting it passed his work saw the opportunity.
Distance from Oswald hide to JFK head was 70 yards. A mail order rifle (legal purchase) first round aimed at head dropped to his neck, next round Oswald held lead and hit Kennedy’s head ejecting brain matter from his skull.
What people cannot accept is one determined man, with the means, will and opportunity carried out his plan of the day.
One has to ask, why would the CIA plan an assassination when the local commie does it without their involvement? That freed the CIA to move into Vietnam and Laos and create private armies and work the drug trade.
Side note….No longer are presidential routes published nor, due to Reagan’s assassination attempt, all president movements to vehicles are covered without public access.
I don’t know that much about him but what about Chip Roy?
Look at what DJT did to the Republicans – no more easy uniparty party path, at least for now. There are actually people now who are gathering to fight the ongoing travesty in Congress.
Chip Roy is “our” congressman, and HE IS A RINO!!!
Over the past year or so, he has, uncharacteristically, been talking tough, growing a goatee, and garnering media attention.
In our opinion, he is undergoing a PR campaign in order to run for RINO EXTRAORDINAIRE Senator Cornyn’s seat in the future.

CHIP ROY IS A RINO OF THE FIRST ORDER!!!
Thanks for the info….that is disgusting! Finding an honest conservative in DC seems to be like picking out one specific grain of sand on a beach. 🙁
Prior to the stain of Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy was the one to be anointed as Speaker but he was disqualified, at that time, over, IIRC, sexual misconduct.
Why is that not an issue this time ‘round???
Oh, silly me! Be ready for it to be an ISSUE the moment KM is elevated to Speaker. The ‘victim(s)’ are in the CNN studio waiting for the interview to begin.
Having said that, give us Jim Jordan, please.
He was supposed to be having a sexual relationship outside of his marriage. What marriage and why anyone cared is beyond me.
EUREKA! We just discussed that EXACT ISSUE over lunch! I believe McCarthy’s SEXUAL MISCONDUCT was with a MARRIED sitting Congresswonan!
it was but after recent revelations about his “close” friendship and living arrangements with Frank Luntz I kind of doubt the veracity of that story….it would not be the first sensationalized story let out to the public for political gain…..I say this after many years of watching KM as my own Rep in Congress and warning my Pastor in CA about his reliability
McCarthy loses, on a 3rd ballot, so he’s TOAST.
Boerbert confirms in the Conference this morning, it was explictly stated;
“If you vote against McCarthy when we win (and we WILL win) you will be stripped of any committee asignments.”
Hence, there is NO WAY ANY of “the 20” are going to change their vote.
So what, he gets 20 Dems to switch their vote from Jefferies?
It may NOT end up being Jordan, he was advanced as the most appealing (to the McCarthy faction) perhaps as a “stalking horse”, to ease into the idea of a MAGA Speaker.
Its quite possible that we aren’t even discussing the next Speaker, on our “short list” yet.
THIS is what “Winning” looks like, ENJOY it.
We have long longed for the retirement (if not the incarceration of Mitch McConnell.
THIS is how it starts; McCarthy replaced, McDaniel replaced, then Ditch Mitch can happen.
THIS is WHY Ronna helped Mitch and Kevin to try to undermine MAGA Candidates, including in Alaska, Az and Georgia, as well as other States.
They worked to undermine MAGA Candidates, BECAUSE they knew that, if elected those MAGA officeholders would initiate a challenge to Kevin and Mitchs leadership roles.
THIS is how we get rid of Republican enabling of leftist policies, and get America First policies initiated and STOP leftist Biden policies.
THIS is “Winning”,…
ENJOY it,…..
Is it a (burst) pipe dream that somebody nominate Devin Nunes?
Listen to Boebert. She has not been in DC long enough to fall for the lies. Rifle, CO is miles from Aspen and Grand Junction Garfield County might be our only hope.
I hope they never forget that McCarthy is typical of Californians in that he is pro-amnesty, though he has started denying that as he has seen how unpopular that is with the base.
So, what stage are we in the final battle scene of The Patriot. Has Cornwallis/McCarthy told his troops to go over that hill and take their spirit? “This ends here. This ends today.” When does it get to the point where he tells his lieutenant, “Sound retreat.”
I really enjoyed watching today. I enjoyed the body language in between votes, lots of big hand gestures, nervous pacing, McCarthy looking like he wasn’t annoyed but was annoyed. Jordan saying he doesn’t want Speaker but his demeanor said he is open.
So what if this takes a few days. I do not want everyone coming together to get things done for we the people. I like gridlock in government, it means nothing is getting done against us either.
I feel like 12 Angry Men only more with Mr Smith. Fonda and Stewart, and I am not a man.
I also do not care what Democrats think because I cannot stand them and they have demonstrated that they are the Deep/Permanent State. This stand of 19 now 20 shows the Rs are not totally one in the same. Even though it is. I make my own sausage so this stuff I do not mind.
how about Jim Jordan for speaker The House.
JJ doesn’t want it. If he is SOTH he can’t be on the panels he wants to lead..investigating stuff
“You can’t always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes you’ll get what you need.”
Also,
Sometimes the job chooses you.
That is a good outcome. We need the CIA to intervene and flip some votes. Dominion Voting Machines would solve this problem.
Nan-Xi has proven her statement.
The one sure thing that I’ve learned from the Trump era is that exposure of who they really are is real. If McCarthy strikes a deal with Dems to get the majority then, well, that would be the most sunlight ever on the 190 or so GOP that votes for McCarthy.
This could really be a Sunlight moment. It sure is great that we have not given into the idea of just accepting the uniparty Rino path just to get some peace of mind. Sure we may not get hearings that go Bla Bla Bla but nothing and no one is held accountable for their actions. The uniparty now can see that sunlight is building a strong case for changes.
Good point Greg.
One thing P Trump has done is expose all of the liars and their shenanigans that have been in charge of our beautiful country for the last few decades at least.
The things I have learned, the things that have come to light in the last six years have almost blown my mind.
I knew something creepy and illegal was going on in DC and almost everywhere else but had no idea as to how deep and wide and how down right nasty and awful things really were.
Getting the truth out and dealing with it, then calming down and trying to figure out what to do next has been a real handful.
We have been hit with one awful truth after another as to just what Traitors we really have running things and how much work we have now to do.
It seems as if we just might have a few Patriots in the House now that are trying to help get the MAGA show on the road.
Time will tell and I am willing to give them a chance.
Close.
Dems will cut a deal with “moderate” Republicans to elect a consensus Speaker.
I think McCarthy is toast. He’s weak, the Dems know he’s weak, the Republicans definitely know he’s weak, and the Deep State has known he’s weak since forever.
Jim Jordan has always wanted Chair of the House Judiciary Committee and has plans for investigating the DOJ. I don’t know that if he becomes Speaker, who would be in that MOST important position and if he would continue the investigations.
I would much prefer Jim Jordan as Speaker because I believe that he is more honestly conservative and stands for the people over the corporations and banking interests.
He DOES Have Money from DONORS to ADVOCATE FOR –

19 voted for other than McCarthy on the first vote, then the same 19 voted for Jordan on the second vote. 20 voted for Jordan on the third so the momentum is against McCarthy.
This division in the GOP won’t end amicably. And will have long term effects. And any rupture in either side of the uniparty is positive news.
The seeds are being planted for a serious Maga presence within the system that won’t dissipate or self destruct. Whether it occurs now or later it will be a permanent part of the political landscape.
And significantly, not focussed around Trump the person. Maga values need to transcend the messenger and become ensconced within the system. Trump still has his critical role, but legitimate and power wielding disciples are needed.
Hopefully we are seeing the start though it is but an incremental shift.
Bravo. May you be proven correct.
MTG finds herself on the outside looking in.
Well, Marjorie, sometimes a man needs to step up and do what’s right instead of what his career aspirations were.
“He’ll have his hands tied with speaker duties” instead of heading investigations. Sorry, Marjorie, as Speaker, JJ, can release the hounds of hell and set up all kinds of investigative committees headed by MAGA patriots. She really wants me to believe that SOH is a step down from heading up the Judiciary committee???
Yep. He could sic Gaetz on all of the three letter agencies.
SOH Jim Jordan could impeach Joe Biden for a plethora of reasons. At the very minimum, he could set up committees to investigate the heck out of some of the big heads in our corrupt government. He could subpoena tax returns, set up a committee to investigate the REAL J6 events, and look into all kinds of disgusting activities.
A McCarthy House is still a Uniparty house. Jordan’s only going to get a bit more leash than before.
No Jim Jordan becomes Speaker and makes MTG Chairman of Judiciary.
NO….MTG has fully revealed herself as a denizen of the swamp….she is fully corrupted now…..time went quickly for her as it normally takes about 4 years on average for the complete transformation
MTG is getting slapped hard on Twitter in reply to this post. What were you promised, Marjorie? What were you threatened with?
Sorry. Every time I read this tweet I get more offended at her words and what she is insinuating. Talk about gaslighting. She has the gall to say that those who will not vote for KMc for SOH are “not supporting” Jordan and his career dreams. Voting against KMc by voting FOR Jordan is being mean to Jordan by not letting him have a committee leadership instead leadership of the ENTIRE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
She must think that we are really stupid. Many replies to this tweet suggest that they must have some dirt on her that is related to her recent divorce.
If McCarthy walks away will he resign from Congress?
Be still my beating heart!!!
Maybe Fox News needs another board of director. I’m sure Paul Ryan would put in a good word for him.
Slouches. Noon till 5 at best. What a day. The American people are laughing at these lightweights.
I guess this is the only way Kevvy and Frankie will ever get to sleep in the Speaker’s quarters.
Good job to the MAGA holdouts. I’m calling my new Congressman and telling him his a** is grass if he doesn’t vote Kevvy Boy out and go full on MAGA NOW! And following up by email.
I’m real tired of his b.s. already.
While all this is going on, Pelosi and the J6 ‘committee’ are attempting to have documents and videos ‘sealed’ for 30-50 years.

Getz should play KM statement on removing Congressional members social media accounts.
Then say to the House if you vote for McFarty you are voting against the first amendment and condoning nulling the peoples voice.
As a compromise, Trump should volunteer for the position. That would be a truly epic development to behold, if just for how nuts it would drive all the people we love seeing driven to madness.
In an election between a Democrat and a Democrat the Democrat always wins.
Harry Truman!
No actually it is a fine description of your fine states government.

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump declined to say if he’s sticking by his endorsement of Kevin McCarthy for speaker tonight, telling me in a brief phone interview he’s had calls all day asking for support, and “We’ll see what happens. We’ll see how it all works out.”
When I asked directly if he was sticking by McCarthy, who did not clinch the gavel today after three floor votes, Mr. Trump told me “we’ll see what happens,” and ended our conversation.
i BELIEVE Mike Davis IS REAL !
Davis is currently pushing for Steve Scalise to be Speaker, who is still GOP-e after getting SHOT for being a Republican – no, thank you very much, but just NO!!
In other words….he is saying just wait til Paul Ryan’s Fox News starts beating up on the 19….
😁😂🤣
Like the base cares about Fox News…..
Oh, put a sock in it Raskin. You are the other half of the uniparty problem…
Speaking of…… “son of a b!tch!”
~putz
says one of the public leaders of the coup called the 2020 STEAL where the will of the American public was disregarded for that of the “elites” and their IC allies
Weasel Ratskin just can’t keep him trap shut.
Sedition Raskin? You mean like when The Kenyan encouraged his activists to burn down U.S. cities, murder, and steal from innocent people.
Or when you and your ilk encouraged it in the summer of 2020 across America while locking down and masking the rest of us?
Or telling people tpo get in our faces and tell us we aren’t welcome?
THAT’S WHO was ” In GAETZ Face ” !
Wondered Who ” the Football Player ” was
( HOW Can He Be a GOOD Deputy Whip – IF HE CAN’T COUNT Past 21 ? – He’s from Penn St ! )
I don’t think Tucker is a big McCarthy fan.
None of this matters.
It’s two sides of the same counterfeit coin.
Our Nation died 01/06/20.
Until those who’ve committed treason pay for their crimes with their lives, there is no America.
There’s absolutely no other way.
If you don’t start by unplugging the drain the swamp won’t begin to drain.
Coronation cancelled.
Coronation party cancelled. 🙂 🙂 🙂
When have 20 Republicans had soooooo much leverage in the House? Not in my lifetime. Time to use it by holding this line.
If the republicans elect Kevin McCarthy, after seeing the results of John Boehner and Paul Ryan’s speakership’s, there’s a word for them, Ineducable.
TRUTH
Enjoy every single second that goes by while the ruling class can’t get their uniparty speaker elected.
THAT’S THE SOUND OF WE THE PEOPLE BREACHING THEIR GATES!!!
