The House is scheduled to begin the effort for the installation of California Representative Kevin McCarthy at 10:00pm ET. It is unknown whether the 14th ballot effort will succeed or exactly how many representatives are still in DC for the activity. The livestream is below:
UPDATE:
- Round 14 fails for McCarthy by one vote. 232 votes cast. McCarthy got 216 – one vote short of majority.
- Representative Mike Rogers (AL) tried to fight Matt Gaetz and had to be restrained. (LINK)
- GOP tried to adjourn. Voice vote failed and failed counting of yeas and nays. House cannot adjourn.
- Republicans now go for round #15

I cannot take listening to Hakeem; I feel extremely nauseous. Lies, lies and more lies.
I bet he practices with Obama speeches.
I bet Obama gave him copies of his speeches- like he did for the Queen of England.
Hey Maquis,
If Obama had a son or brother.
And it was Jesse Jackson who brought Obama in to “practice” speaking to his congregation.
Let’s face it, every Dem and most Republicans (but I repeat myself) lie as their default. The Republicans who are nothing more than closet Dems disgust me more than the Dems who are open about their prevarications.
Are you one of the multitudes here who in earlier days wrote: “It doesn’t make any difference between Dem or Rep”…??
It hasn’t yet.
If it actually made a difference then we wouldn’t be where we are.
We’re going to the same location, but Republican inc. is taking a different route.
Agreed. He’s just another racial arsonist.

The “Speaker” selection process, as crazy as it may seem, has made it all much bigger and more important than if done the more conventional way. Congratulations to Kevin McCarthy and our GREAT Republican Party!

Give it a rest DT. The curtain is open.
Art of the Deal
Yeah, we’ll see what we see and I think that we can all
offer up a guess as to what it’s going to look like.
55D chess?
MAGA GAY PRIDE PARTY AT MAR A LAGO was soooo Inspiring !!!!! Trump is Done, Repubs will join the Whig Party, Bolshevik democRats didn’t lose the midterms. Even the Great Commissar BHO lost more in 2010. Deal with that.
Sometimes it’s best to say nothing.
Would you have preferred they roll over at the beginning without negotiations?
I’m talking about Trump.
I am as well
Congratulating McCarthy? “Great Republican party”? He’s on crack.
LOL, good one, but the sad thing is, if he actually was on crack those ‘statements’ like you quoted of his would be less pitiful…
Like him or not McCarthy won. DJT is being respectful, as he should. And calling the Rep party great is what he needs to do as nominee in 2024 Presidential election. People fault him when he’s pointed and fault him when he’s gracious. DJT gets no slack from Dems, from media, from progressives, from Rhinos or even from MAGA’s. And people wonder why we are where we are.
I feel your pain, Comrade. But Hopium isn’t Reality. The economy implodes before 2024 and the Bolshevik democRats will declare Martial Law that Trump should have done in 2020 when the sElection Coup knee capped Us.
Our Patriots still sit in Feral Gulags today, 2 years later with no bail, no trials, no justice, only Tyranny.

I’m Kevin McCarthy, and I approved this message.
Many of the below replies have no idea what is really happening. DJT is behind this. The optics are so important. Whats getting ready to happen? House investigations! What better way to bring mass attention to the House. People…normies who would never had paid any mind to any of this have now. And at the right time. Timing is everything. Very interesting how the tax return issue about Trump went all the way to the Supreme Court, set a precedent…just before the House starts investigations. They won’t have to do all the tedious work the Demonrats did to access these records! A lot of you need to go back to the speech Trump gave before he won in 2016 about replacing this failed and corrupt system. You all have now awakened to his statements of back then. Did you think it was goingb to happen quickly? It was never about a 4 year election. We are getting rid of the system and it will take time and is taking time. And a lot has been and is being accomplished! You are either with him…or not. If you are…then as a Patriot you need to look at it from the point of this speech. Go back and listen. I apologize for not habbing it handy here…but you can find it easy if you really want to. This so called chaos in the House is historic in many ways! Get fully awakened! Many of you still have sleep in your eyes!
You must have gotten your hands on the BEST Hopium around! Wow. Never before have I seen the delusionary effects of Hopium and what it can do to one’s mind …
Voting for the System for Speaker, is “getting rid of the system” … Wow …
My WOW back to you! What are you doing here? Obviously you have no hope! I would not want you in a fox hole with me. And if DJT had your attitude, you and many others would not see any of the little bit you do. So, put your hands up and surrender….you need to look at what we got out of this from the establishment. Oh, I’m sorry…you can’t see so how can so expect you to look. You must think Trump is s fool. Back to my original statement…what are you doing here.
You’re just precious!
One big swamp. I think that was the lesson here.
While President Trump did what was beneficial to Americans by not getting involved in wars, energy independence, reduction in regulations, encouraging small businesses, trying to secure the border and prevent the flood of drugs, a trade deal with Mexico and Canada, promoting manufacture in the US and more his biggest failure is believing the Republican Party can be fixed or reformed. This will undermine all his achievements because he did not consider this in his strategy.
I thought it was customary for the outgoing speaker, in this case Pelosi, to hand the gavel over to the new Speaker at the podium. I’ve seen it done before. Won’t happen this time.
She is a petty old princess.
She’s trying to blend into the background, hoping that she
won’t be called out.
Fear not spawn of unclean spirits, Republican inc has your
back
She has developed a massive, full-blown hysteria aversion phobia to hammers since her husband that notorious old fàg predator Paulie “Dahmer” Pelosi failed in his infamous deviant degenerate violent sexual attack on that dude David that he lured back to the mansion from the gay bar at closing time with promises of cash and drugs…
***massive, full-blown hysteria aversion phobia to hammers****. LOL thanks for the laugh this morning.
Anytime, pal.
Here’s a bonus song (starts about 15 seconds in) to further put a shine on your hopefully lovely day:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/6Pk4OeHm35vE/
Well, that was fun. NOT.
Actually, it WAS fun; for several days, the spit between the base (MAGA) and the Uniparty was on full display, and for the first time in YEARS we saw unscripted, REAL debate with GENUINE disagreement, in “The Peoples House”.
The Uniparty “won” a reprieve, and they will call on their Storm troopers to RUIN not just the 6, but the 20, as well.
Just like J6 prisoners, they will make EXAMPLES of them, to send a message; DO NOT EVER TRY THIS, AGAIN!
It is SO fitting that this comes on the 2 year anniversery of J6 set up, as once again THE PEOPLE challenged the Uniparty, in the Capital Bldg, and once again got screwed.
The satisfaction is, the Uniparty wanted a smooth coronation, and they didn’t get it.
THEY (Uniparty) have no choice, but to continue, and in doing so they are braiding the rope that will hang them.
Sometimes, to HAVE the fight IS the victory. With more MAGA candidates, McCarthy would have had an impossible time, which is why he worked so hard to keep as many MAGA Candidates from winning.
Gonna have to see how this plays out,…
Agree. This was not a victory but merely a reprieve of sorts.
Cowardice and corruption reign supreme in the GOP.
That’s actually not a bad synopsis. We lost many battles in the 1700’s, before we actually won freedom. The fight goes on. That this even happened, in today’s climate, is mildly encouraging.
McCarthy should move Jeffries right off the stage, this isn’t Jeffries stage. But this is a glimpse of how it is going to go with Speaker McCarthy. He is going to sit on the sideline and let Democrats run the show.
bust out the dr suess Hackeem.
hahahahaha!
If you liked that, here’s “The Charmer” [Louis Eugen Walcott] singing about Hillary Clinton:
Jeffries, are you trying to filibuster Kevin McCarthy’s Speaker statement, or what?
Get off the floor already.
What’s with all the hand motion by Hakeem? Is he EYE-talian or somethin? He’s like a knock-off Obama with the same talent for spewing lies nonstop.
Rumor has it he’s earned a $2 bill or two using his mad oral skillz in the men’s room at the Union station, just like Obama, too…
I hope all of you “burn it all down commenters” and those who see no difference between a Dem SOH or Rep SOH.
Listen up!
I ‘m seeing it with my own 2 eyes and hearing it with my 2 ears.
This guy is a total psychotic nutjob and speaks in riddles!!!
Get on your knees and thank PDJT for bringing this deal together.
Trump joined the swamp. He is now part of the problem.
You’re entitled to your opinion but not your facts. Trump helped get the swamp in as Speaker. He sure didn’t stand with those against the swamp. Eventually you will have to accept it. We got sold out AGAIN
Prove it.
Trump just did by helping get McCarthy (swamp AF) elected Speaker. Are you really that dense?
Go away, MTG. Your identity is obvious.
Welcome to “moderation”…
Perhaps you would be more convincing if you added two !!
You know what? You are every bit as FAKE as the media in this country. And that goes for anyone else making similar pathetic comments. Your act is getting REALLY old, and it’s probably time for you all to leave our Tree and go find a place where you’ll feel more “safe”.
Agreed! They could be trolls! They are everywhere now days!
Terrible alias. Too easy to spot a troll. Be gone idiot
Never! And I thought people were awakening! This just proves more has to happen, maybe closer to home before people will really wake up. Scare events work miracles in awakening normies!
I don’t think I’m going to see Sundance getting on his knees and thanking PDJT for this, Abigail, and I sure as hell won’t be, either.
What in God’s name makes you think a House with a eunuch like Kevin McCarthy is going to be one damn bit better than the Paul Ryan years?
This is the week Donald Trump abandoned his base.
I think Abigail is MTG posting here under a pseudo name.
She’s been here for a very long time.
You post negative swipes at President Trump – from time to time.
Welcome to “moderation”…
I like MTG, even if she is sleeping with McCarthy Or if SHE IS NOT sleeping with McCarthy!
Quite frankly, I don’t care who is sleeping with who…..evah!
I don’t care either, but when a slush fund from taxpayer money is set up to pay legal fees for all Congress members who are sued/blackmailed for all their sexual misconduct/abuse and affairs… well, that changes the dynamic entirely.
Politics make strange bedfellows.
He’s a homosexual. I don’t think MTG is having a go with him.
What about Kevin and Frank?
LOL
“He REALLY did it this time with those bad tweets.”
Sure, and “RuSsia Ru$$IA RU55IA”
It’s Over!
Put it on “The List”
A few on here are very desperate trying to sell that.
Meanwhile, Deal results will be coming in.
And they are off! Will the deals come in, or will it just be more sundress flapping. Stay tuned!
You’re fixated.
No peaking
Well, Right Mover…what great inside information do you have to prove your predictions? You got a crystal ball?
How many years did you work in the world of pig slop wrestling politics?
I really don’t care about Sundance’s knees or his bowing to anyone or anything. That’s none of my damn business.
What Sundance does with his life, does not affect my life at all.
This is all political theatre and there are commenters here, caught up in the emotion, who seem to believe that all long-time readers of this blog are going to bow and curtsy to dismal, negative, anti-American, anti-Populist, anti-Trump comments, because they believe there is a contest going on here.
I don’t play those games.
I know who Donald J. Trump is and I have worked in politics for the majority of my life.
So back off and find somewhere else to spew your venom.
President Donald John Trump never abandoned anyone, at anytime, in his life that he was working for, doing business with, invested with, cared for, loved, nurtured or had any invested interest in during his 76 years of being on this earth.
If you have ever done any research on this man, you would never make this statement.
You underestimate Donald J. Trump.
Is that it? If you’re a long time reader, your views are more valuable… Hmmm… I don’t play that game Abigail. Jus talkin’ straight. 🙂
She earned value in her participation.
New posters are always welcomed – especially when they add value.
All animals are equal. Some just more equal than others.
So, Abigail, because I disagree strongly with Donald Trump’s support for a weak, go-along-to-get-along moderate who is all in on continuing to send trillions to Ukraine — and because I refuse to get all giddy over the prospect of the establishment prioritizing its own interests over OURS in this nation — that means I’m “spewing venom”? It seems to me that your response to my question was a lot more venomous than my initial post.
There have been so many things I have greatly admired about Donald Trump, but every time he says “Jump,” I don’t respond, “How high?” I think for myself, and folks here who underwrite 100% of everything Trump does or says strike me as acolytes who do not think for themselves.
Wrong.
Disagree all you want. That’s what free speech is all about.
There is absolutely no need to go to the extreme and predict into the future what is to be. P.E.R.I.O.D.
I don’t recall that I made any comment that reflected giddiness “over the prospect of the establishment prioritizing its own interests over OURS in this nation”.
Whatever or however you interpret my comment as an insult depends on your sensitivity level.
I have never heard, saw or read (in my research) of Donald John Trump saying “Jump” and people responded “How high”. (And I’m an old lady with a lot of time on her hands who researches close to 12 hours a day).
I’ve been thinking for myself since a very young age, (because it was taught and encouraged at home), and I agree critical thinking is lacking among the majority in the 21st century. Accepting that fact, is most likely due to the reality that children in this century are not encouraged and taught to use the skill of critical thinking and understand how things really work.
I believe we have something to agree on.
Stay Frosty.
You go!
Amen! And thank you so very much! A true Patriot, as one should…standing with our true President. I guess there are a lot of people here that are either trolls, weak and faithless, and never listened to his speech back when he ran in 2016 spelling all this out! And if they have, they have very short memories!
I kept that speech and glisten often! Promises made…promises kept!
Thomas Massie on a new Church Commission is a huge maga win
I am not sure how you see that as a success. The original Church Committee resulted in the establishment of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the SSCI. We all know how thoroughly corrupt that committee has been over many years, merely a tool to maintain Deep State / Establishment control.
So the original Church Committee was an abject failure. I see no reason to hope for any different outcome from another internally controlled investigation.
You’re probably correct, but there is a possibility that some good will come from it. We’ll have to wait and see.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say that he has abandoned the base.
We’ll see what we see.
What I saw was him throwing Pro-Life voters under the bus over results of the midterms. Let’s not forget that.
Disagree. While I am pro-life, I recognize certain extreme circumstances sometimes exist where the mother is not at fault for agreeing to terminate the pregnancy. Too often in the past that limited set f circumstances has been used as cover for elective abortion for the mother’s or both parents’ convenience. Better, more precise language can be incorporated to disallow abortion of convenience vs. abortion to avoid confirmed, serious health risks.
Donald Trump was never a hard line rightwing moralist, but I do believe he ONLY advocates consideration for those unfortunate few who are facing serious, even deadly consequences if the pregnancy is not terminated. It DOES happen. That’s all he said in his brief critique of the midterm outcome. His political instincts are honed and better than when he ran in 2016; IMHO he is still the very best candidate for President in 2024.
One concession that was made is that we have enough members now for striking down any deal the House might put together! Obviously you have not looked at what was accomplished…you fell for the optics! Proof you are NOT awake!
Oh my. I’m gonna need more popcorn!
Pleeze do!
Pop your lil ole heart out!
Bless your heart, Paul F., Bless your heart.
Thank you thank you. Blessings received.
Last line is inappropriate. I won’t get on my knees for any man, including President Trump. Even he has said, at many rallies, that he kneels [we kneel] to God alone.
That’s right, keep on kneeling to God alone.
We’re good.
I trust McCarthy the same as I trusted Paul Ryan
Since they are both of the Triplets, together with Eric Cantor – Symbiotic Proteges of John Boehner – That is the NAIL ON THE HEAD where Paul Ryan and McCarthy/Cantor are, in Life – it is ALL they KNOW, ever have known.
Gfy.
I get on my knees for God.
President Trump is not now, has not ever been and will never be my Saviour.
I knew splooge boy was going to win eventually, so no sorrow there.
I’m proud of the holdouts, all 20 of them and there humiliation ritual of the uniparty.
Here’s hoping President Trump has extracted something tangible, but not likely.
So today we are in the same place.
Why do they keep the same hours as pimps and thieves?
Nothing good happens after midnight.
When I was 19-20 years old, I worked in politics at a very low level..Every week, there were many meetings, when they did not end until 1-2 am…that’s the truth.
And we were not drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, eating chocolates, eating pizza, or doing drugs or having sex.
That time was in the 20th century.
Do the math…..I am 73 years old.
I started working in the real world at 15 yrs. old.
My work day started at 8 a.m…and when we had meetings that (I was the stenographer, with pen and paper), I worked until 1-2 am…until the damn meeting was over.
Perhaps you have the problem, because you have no concept of R.E.A.L.I.T.Y.
Did you ever work in a real job, other than looking at a computer or using an iPhone?
You have just proven you cannot do math…as in adding and subtracting.
Maybe you should get off your high horse, CharlesCarroll.
Jeffries is thinly disguised demagogue.
He has on a disguise????
Well, now we wait for the RNC corporate meeting later this month to see what new rules they put in place for the 2024 Presidential election. That is when they are going to screw Trump.
Couldn’t be any worse than what was done to him on this blog over the last week.
I think PDJT can handle all the BS that’s being thrown at him past , present and future.
Oh yes. 👍 👍
Trump asked for this – he got it … Goodnight mr president
Bye.
LFOD, This is the quote of the 21st century!
So appropriate as it pertains to SOH and 2022 National and local elections. Everyone is getting exactly what they voted for.
That’s not true at all for the vast majority of us who HAVE NOT voted for the incumbent corrupt RINOs for multiple elections but who DID vote for President Trump in 2020. We are getting nothing for which we voted, and getting everything we voted against.

“We want Kevin!!!” some Republicans shout as Jeffries speaks.

Schumer wants to implement another government shutdown already…
Fingers crossed!
Well that’s the best news I’ve heard tonight! Go ahead AH, shut it all down.
Remember when the AOC + her buddies were running circles around Nancy?
Or pretended they were going to anyway.
Well, that’s promising ………………………..naw, what was I thinking
No this would be some real progress!
Thats the most encouraging thing I’ve ever read
coming out of Shuck Chumers top hole.
The government needs a good shutdown.
Schumer is a long-proven liar.
Why would anyone believe this fictitious tripe coming from him, when we all know from recent history that Kevin McCarthy is a turncoat traitor to real conservative patriotic principles, and especially to America First, pro-MAGA conservatives?
Aww, Chuckie Schumer, quit teasing us, you cad…
I didn’t think I could loathe these self serving politicians more than I did. Was I wrong. What a bunch of disappointment.
Now…Kevin is lying “…my words will never be personal.” Directed at Hakeem. Lies, lies and more lies.
They will never be personal against the Dems or Uniparty. Now as for those MAGA folks…
And here with go with McCarthy stroking the Democrats already. This guy makes me physically ill. Oh look, now he’s making commitments to the Democrats. Great.
Same shit, different day.
Old Boss, meet New Boss. At least old boss had balls. New boss obviously tucks it.
Thomas Massie has balls – hide and watch!
Listening to Hakeem, he sounds like an American. I would guess about 1 tenth of what he said was true.
The guy compares and contrasts objects that have nothing to do with each other.
He is a douchebag. Every member of Congress should be tested for being a citizen. I bet at least ten are not.
…and they automatically receive security clearances.
Omar with a clearance.
Bad idea.
“House Speaker Count Olaf”
I can’t unsee it…..
Yeah…that’s the ticket McCarthy lets hear more about Jeffries. Good grief! No one gives a crap about how he grew up. Enough patting each other on the back.
Get used to it. There’s gonna be a lot of crossing of the aisle and bipartisanship under this guy.
definition of bipartisanship: American taxpayers get screwed
The thought just occurred to me that since the Speaker of the House is 3rd in the line/order of succession should something happen to Biden and Harris, instead of Pelosi, now it would be McCarthy who is in line.
I wonder how much consideration the above was in McCarthys’ mind as he was trying to be elected Speaker.
Makes me wonder just how vigorous an effort McCarthy will make towards impeachment or even prosecution of those ahead of him in that line/order of succession.
“Makes me wonder just how vigorous an effort McCarthy will make towards impeachment or even prosecution of those ahead of him in that line/order of succession.”
He’ll make no such effort at all, and anybody who believes he will is hopelessly gullible.
Well, I certainly knew that as long as the Demshoviks were controlling the House absolutely Nothing would be done about the two frauds playing out their roles.
My wondering was thinking about just why McCarthy was holding on and trying to convince the America First 20 to get the Speaker position and not stepping down from nomination.
I would think that there has to be some other motivations for McCarthy other than just a pay raise & the position itself, and perhaps he had presidential aspirations as well as any other perks that come with the Speaker duty.
Just kind of thinking out loud, anyway. I am certainly not “gullible”. 😉
I was not calling YOU gullible, but those who optimistically believe Kevin McCarthy will be any different in his “leadership” position are fooling themselves.
Impeachment not required when so many tragic accidents can happen.
I’ve wondered too if his fight for the position was connected to such considerations, or conspiracies.
That was upper most on my mind the entire 4 days.
No worries. Kevin will be more than happy to be #3 in line. He’ll be able to grift hundreds of millions the same as Nancy did.
The “I” word will never be brought up for either FJB or FKH.
Well he promised not to impeach Biden before the midterm election so I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
He’s on his way to 25th-ing himself.
The Dems may want to get rid of him themselves. I know they like having a puppet that will sign anything they put in front of him but they’re gonna need a little more than a walking zombie for the next election.
Kevin said he will hold the swamp accountable? So he will finally be held accountable?
“will hold the swamp accountable”
We all chuckled at that one
He must be saving the investigations of election fraud for the big finale.
McCarthy refused to add investigation of 2020 election fraud and Pence’s Jan. 6 actions to the list of concessions that KM used to buy the needed votes.
Now over the coming year we will watch him artfully making excuses to avoid keeping most of those concessions…. and we will hear very little public criticism of his deception from those holdouts who were finally duped into voting for him.
McCarthy’s speech is more cringe worthy than even cryin’ Baby Boehner’s.
Boehner was a masculine man compared to Kevin McCarthy.
I missed Hakeem; I was off in the kitchen eating a sandwich of despair.
Was it really so bad that it might make me feel better about this putrid deal?
Well it was, until McCarthy got to the podium.
Oh man McCarthy is spouting gibberish. Holy Crap.
Kevin is no orator.
It was really bad. He’s an Obama wannabe with the same skill at casually tossing around lies and being passive-aggressive with his words. Another divider. He even threw in a comment about Mar-a-Lago that I’m sure they’ll play on MSNBC all day tomorrow.
Can we bring back Hakeem?
Teehee! :>)
From earlier today before the vote…Gaetz seems to indicate they pretty much got all they wanted from McCarthy.
Oh please. GMAB. 🤮
The all are swamp.
I’m so tired of hoping.
Hope is futile when it’s placed on man.
Yes. I stopped inhaling Hopium two years ago. Continued dependency on it weakens the mind and rots one’s critical thinking skills.
Wow, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is still alive. I thought Hillary had her Arkancided after the email scandals. Yikes, still wearing the poodle hairdo too.

There is great jubilation with RINOs and Democrats, the Uniparty Club is saved from the proletariat.
Their pockets are lined with foreign cash, the finest wine will flow at their jubilee bash.
The country’s invaded “so what?” they exclaim, then fly to Davos on a private jet plane.
Who is to blame for their crimes and demeanor? You need only look into a mirror.
Keep voting Republican, it will be different this time. And so many still fall for the same old lie.
“There is great jubilation with RINOs and Democrats, the Uniparty Club is saved from the proletariat.”
And lots of them have been dispatched to this forum to celebrate and to swat down any dissenting commenters who might suggest that an establishment cuck like Kevin McCarthy is a weak-willed sellout.
I wish we could sometimes agree to disagree. It’s the same on this site as others. I genuinely believe the vast majority are all on the same page but when there are disagreements it often devolves into name calling like troll or questioning someone’s bona fides. I feel like it goes both ways from new and old members. Once name calling comes out the civil discussion is soon to go.
I committed to myself to speak my mind whether others agrees or disagree but I understand we aren’t always going to agree. I personally question anyone seeking to silence others through whatever words or means. As Sundance says we are all born with a brain to decide to either accept or reject information .
Nah, the karens have been here awhile berating we who see things for what they actually are, rather than what we wish they would be.
Battered conservative syndrome is very hard to get over.
What the heck was that about?
Why did the Democrats want to toss out the clerk of the house and two other officers?
That was just “Wow”.
yes!
McCarthy is feeling his oats now….overly dramatic and trying to be cute with all his announcements. I should have gone to bed.

“They all talk a great game, but only a handful of people won’t eventually become swamp creatures after they’re elected.
“Almost all of them sellout, and when they finally do, they always try to blow smoke up your ass and pretend to be standing on the high ground.”
That is the truth
We elected a new rep in my district in 2020. He was so gung ho to start with, I got a call from him in response to an email while he was walking from one meeting to another. I went to an open house with him a couple months ago. The Stepford transformation was complete. It’s like he looks the same on the outside, but he is different on the inside. Fobbed off my inquiry about election integrity. DC ruins good people.

With the rules agreement we negotiated, we will have a powerful Church-style committee to go after the weaponization of the federal government – the FBI, DOJ, DHS, and all the rest.
This is a victory for the Constitutional rights of all Americans.

Hey Dan, don’t drink all the koolaide, save some for the other 216 RepubliCons
The Big News is Thomas Massie will investigate fbi!
Oh ok.
How about we shut them down to stop their evil, and
THEN, investigate.
Btw, who is going to prosecute them ??
Massie lends optics creditability to the committee as a “principled constitutionalist”. I have never really paid close attention to what his principled stances have actually cost him, just enjoyed the sassy tweets. I was somewhat surprised that he voted McCarthy from the beginning, but upon listening to Luna’s interview on the War Room it sounds as if he hesitated over the “Ghost of Boehner” past. A member like Massie, if we can take Luna’s account as truth, and Massie’s explanation as sincere, thought someone worse could get the job. Sad.
I suppose this is his ultimate litmus test. He can brazenly make substantive change, or ignominiously retire into the part time contributor role at Faux News. Protest votes that don’t change anything are cute, but the rubber now meets to road.
Last I heard that Church style committee was heavily neutered to be more like F&F or Benghazi style hearings. All show and no accountability.
Hurray more howdy Gowdy committee shows.
One will be, the unconstitutional overreach of us the govt.
This will be a 2 season series I’m sure.
Throughout the series the self righteous ‘seekers of the truth’ will of course be stymied by circumstances beyond their control.
Which will naturally prevent any kind of disclosure, or positive resolution for the citizens, ( hey, their hands are tied by the law, rules, process, insert excuse here).
At the final show, they can issue a statement which demonstrates their ‘righteous indignation ‘ at the machine that they have continued funding to do exactly what they are doing.
Hannity may have a returning, occasional role.
Oh this will be must see TV and I’m so excited!

In the excitement of it all, Kevin didn’t realize Nancy slipped him Paul’s sex-slave hammer.
…instead of the Speaker’s gavel.
And now his fingerprints are all over it. Good one Nan-Xi.
Who got the scythe?
What’s he gonna do about THIS GUY now?
“Mr. Mayorkas, tear down that wall.” – Pres. Joe Biden
Oh thank Gaida! We can finally get back to the dream that is the American government in action! Yay
I can hear the printing machines firing up already. Oh wait, it’s still printing all the money for Ukraine..
Positively SICK!
Displaying their Crooked Selves in all their Vast EGOTISTICAL Goriness and Conflagrations of “MALFEASANCE” so vastly understated.
Totally Gross, right on American News Cameras – and Damned Proud of themselves for it.
Historic presentation how the sausage is made but Treepers already had read the manual but the plant tour was eye opening and nauseating.
I want to thank Repubs in the House for making clear what some have known for a long time now: The rot in our government will not, indeed cannot, be solved politically at a Federal level.
“I have the votes because I count”, says McCarthy, showing us ANOTHER example of the swaggering sense of entitlement that makes us sick to death of these RINO punks.
I had to raise my pant legs up so the flood of (you know what) would not soil them. This country has sunk low and I pray the Almighty can rescue us.
We just saw the Deep State working together in the election of the Speaker of the House. Democrats voted lockstep for Akeem Jeffries, a radical who would have been Nancy Pelosi on steroids times infinity. And RINO republicans were slowly able to peel off MAGA Party members one by one until they could get McCarthy elected on a consensus vote on the 15th ballot. Now continues the short slide into the maw of bankruptcy and tyranny.
So, McCarthy gets his precious and I go back to my barron field … we all know what I grow there.
For everyone who is upset, you shouldn’t be.
Things are not as they appear on the surface. In fact the clapping seals made fools of themselves in real time in live TV.
Remember, McCarthy is just a piece on a chessboard. Maybe a rook, perhaps.
What happened this week is something the Trump team has been planning for, for over 5 years.
President Trump reached his largely invisible hand out from Mar a Lago and dictated the exact numbers of rounds, and the exact day on which McCarthy would become Speaker.
The exact day, if you think about the fact that the final vote occurred after midnight, was
January 7
1 7
The exact number of rounds (dictated by the moment the Spectacular 6 decided to all vote present) was
[15]
The viral photo this morning is “The Perfect Phone call ” of MTG handing her cell phone, with President Trump on the line, towards Matt Rosendale. The angle, and the photo, are professionally staged. Not an accident.
President Trump, in control.
And now Kevin has a new minder, who will be on him like a tick on a hound dog, and she appears to be quite enthusiastic about the job.
I think Frank’s about to experience a heartbreak. Old minders must go when new ones arrive.
Exactly who acted as a volunteer and who acted as a fully controlled pawn and who acted in complete ignorance would probably take a military grade analysis of movements and facial expressions, but to control the chessboard you do not have to be playing every piece on both sides.
If you can control the workings of the House to the degree that you can dictate not only the outcome of a vote, but its exact timing to the day and hour, what do you call that?
Victory, and captured ground.
We are winning.

Pay attention to the weather and signs of shaking, for they will reveal what I am doing. I am at work to bring correction and justice. They will not succeed, but they will utterly crash in defeat.
My timing is perfect and all that has happened has happened to expose them and their foolishness.
I will show no mercy to those who are abusing My little ones. They will meet their judgment in horror.
The judges who have not judged rightly will be given one last chance to repent, then they will meet My judgment.
Congress will be decimated as I remove the evil.

San Francisco you plan for a 7 to 7.5 earthquake, I tell you it will be much larger. Have you considered what a 8.6 earthquake will do to your city?
Impression that San Francisco earthquake will not be the only one. There will be another on the same day in Washington DC.
7-8-10
Expect an increase in weather extremes, for it will surely happen. Expect an increase in earthquake activity, for a greater shaking shall occur.
Washington D.C. you have only experienced the beginning of your shaking. Your decisions and schemes upon this land are a stench to Me and I will call you to account. Think not that you won’t answer for your folly.
Words from the Lord
While I don’t agree with Trump on his endorsement of McCarthy, I am one, not his advisor and two maybe he knows better than I.
All the concessions made had to be approved by the swamp. We all know that if McCarthy were a threat he would not be speaker.
But one of the concessions stands out to me. The one about McCarthy staying out of primary’s where there is no incumbent.
This seems to benefit Trump in this coming primary. He simply cannot win with them pulling the levers.
So, McCarthy now owes Trump and the 20 holdouts really played a big part in Trumps re-election, IF the swamp abides by the “deal”. McCarthy “should” endorse Trump now or at minimum, no putting his thumb on the scale to tip it for someone else.
I just don’t believe they will stay put.
Anyway, inevitably we will see.
The Kevin McCarthy of January 2021, who stood in a mask at a podium and blasted President Trump with lies about J6, is no more.
