These 20 are definitely not sheep. They extracted changes no one thought possible by holding out.
I like how Director Vought gives us exhortation to support The Twenty as a group. Conservatives need to stick together to have any chance against the cabal!
These “20” are already being undermined going into 2024. You will see each face a horrible well funded challenge from the right and then a leftist upper cut.
The “unipary” will NOT forget, as already stated… by the unipary.
Yep, they will be punished just like the J6’rs and the Brazilian protesters
Start to support them now.
Donate time and money, if you can, directly to their campaigns.
As Russell Crowe said in the movie Gladiator (paraphrase) : Whatever comes out of that gate, we have a better chance of survival if we work together. (edited)
Still applies in the 21st century.
What we know; 55 percent of Republicans in the new Congress were elected since 2016.
What we don’t know is HOW MANY of them supported what the 20 were doing, even though they didn’t vote with them.
If the play, all along started with the assumption they were NOT going to keep the Speakership away from McCarthy, and so wanted to put him in a straightjacket, they didn’t need any more, to accomplish their task.
Its like when Collins and Murkowskji etc.”cross the aisle” to vote with Dems.
The REST of the Republicans can vote the other way, cause IT DOESN’T MATTER.
I just hope they have MORE than “Motion to vacate” to keep McCarthy on their leash.
McCarthy should have been RUNNING ON THESE ISSUES, not be dragged kicking and screaming to them.
That’s what a Real Leader and Patriot would do.
a BIG DITTO to that. My sentiments exactly!
IF, (in a fantasy world) Mitch, Kevin and Ronna had been having the Republican Party running on MAGA, we would OWN the Senate (over 60 seats) and have a significant majority in the House, and still have the WH.
If Kevin has any sense, he’ll take the MAGA ball and run with it.
He’s been hugging MAGA when it helps him and backstabbing us in private.
Right now he’s playing badminton with Ron DeScented.
But he doesn’t.
Having lived in his District while he was coming up, I think there is a good chance Kevin will keep his agreements because of the pressure applied. The rules committee concessions and “gang of 20” coalition outlined by Vought are important.
having lived in his district for too long I do NOT trust him
That would give him ONE ball.
He already has Luntz’ two balls whenever he wants them.
Touché!
Did Trump promise him something? Maybe VP asking for a friend
No he won’t because he gets paid too much by george soros to be a rino.
Dan Bongino like to say “diamonds shine brighter on a black background.” Why would “Kiev” McCarthy want to actually make a policy distinction from Democrats more than 50% of the time? If he does, and people buy it, he actually has to exercise power instead of collect money. Nah, him and McConnell have perfected the grift.
Kevin is not a leader. He is a fundraiser. That’s all. Gay, slimy and debonair he appeals to the money soaked elites. And through him they can push their agenda.
Good for the 20 heroes who played the chess game brilliantly. I actually think President Trump was part of that game.
The patriots must watch and wait, It is during these times when people’s actual character will be revealed.
Kudos to all the 20!!!!!!And especially to Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert.
Wasn’t it the Log Cabin Republicans who went after Trump with a vengeance? Kevin takes their logs up his rectum … that is WHO he IS … he was “born that way” or so he thinks. Can’t be trusted … can only be restrained.
Check your facts!
“I just heard a Republican candidate for president stand up and say he is willing to fight and I challenge every other Republican to make the same pledge Donald Trump made tonight,” – Charles Moran, the president of the Log Cabin Republicans 12/22/2022
I also think PDJT was “behind” this effort, he KNOWS how to “cut a deal” and this was brilliant manuevering.
Voight indicates there are members, beyond “the 20” who are supportive of these changes.
They are tired of being told how to vote, no amendments, no debate and you’ll read the bill, AFTER we pass it.
For one thing, the leadership has been hogging the klieg lights; you only see Pelosi and the top 15 or so.
I have seen more individual Congressmen during this Speakers fight, than I have seen in many years.
Debates will give Congressmen that are not “at the top” a chance to get some air time, for a change.
He is no leader. He is no patriot. He is not one of us. HE IS ONE OF THEM.
Yes, WEF spelled backwards is “FEW”, though they seem to be everywhere:
Speaker of the House
https://www.weforum.org/people/kevin-mccarthy
Massachusetts 6th Congressional District
https://www.weforum.org/people/seth-moulton
Let’s hope someone has leverage over him.
TBD see what he does his 1st 90 days… # impeach Joe from day 1 open borders Ukraine energy policies…
What exactly stops 20 members of the GOPe block in the Uniparty from voting down the Rules that these 20 negotiated? Does KM have that kind of control over the rest??
And what would stop those 20 from teaming up with Dems to pass a different set of rules? (Would KM now block such a vote?)
Nothing, but then the whole thing melts down from there.
And the Party will have to openly operate as Democrats/Uniparty.
I assume that is contrary to their interests. So “we” will win some and lose less than we otherwise would have.
Fear of being primaried.
Because he agreed to a “vacate the chair” motion made by ONE person, and he has to have 218 votes again to stay in as speaker. Those original 20, with whom he made the agreement, are enough to take him out.
They were restoring it to what it was before Nancy. She changed the rules to not be able to vacate. The switched it back to one.
Yes, but these other changes haven’t been in place, for 60 years!
Except in a motion to vacate, McCarthy could pull the one thingvhe didn’t, and couldn’t pull in this Speakers vote; have as many Dems as needed, vote “present” which lowers the # of votes McCarthy needs.
When neccesary, the Dems have always acted, to protect their Uniparty, RINO comrades.
If it really gets to a “motiin to vacate”, I suspect thats what would happen.
They couldn’t break from Jefferies, but in a Motion to vacate, Jefferies won’t be an option.
This is my concern.
The Senate and WH will be coordinating, to try to thwart what the 20 are doing, and Mitch is machievelli, reborn.
Does anyone else get the impression Bannon is supporting DeSantis ? I hope I am wrong !
No.
I said that about a month ago and someone on this site told me to go away. I do think Bannon is going to turn on Trump, he wants to be the Maga king and wants to take over the movement. The problem is many can’t see thru his grift. He’s going to get nasty towards PDJT as time goes on. I can’t stand looking at him he’s Gross!
I think that is a terrible thing to say about Bannon. Even after he was let go from the Trump Admin– he fought tooth and nail for Trump 24/7. THAT is why they are trying to throw him in jail, because of his proximity to Trump. Even now, He fights tooth and nail for MAGA and Trump every day. He not only supports MAGA under Trump he has gathered forces to do the same. Why are you projecting this on Bannon? Are you even aware of the calls that go back and forth between Trump and Bannon? You do not have to like the way he looks, but for crying out loud have the decency to RESPECT the WORK he has done for MAGA. These kinds of comments make me seeth…
Bannon has perfected the gansta look. Brilliant.
What a moronic thing to say. To the basement. You’re not fit to hold Bannon’s jock.
Bannon is pragmatic and context situational.
we could learn a thing or two from that.
Bannon is a lot of things. I don’t think that he holds the same sway that he did in 2016, and in a way, I think that we are worse off for it. Trump ultimately let him and Gorka get kicked to the curb at the behest of the administrative state. Now, some might say that they were only in for the transition, and it was a campaign handout, etc. But I don’t think Trump kept enough outsiders from the campaign around, people to help him stay true to the spirit of the movement that he road into the Oval Office. Thank goodness for guys like Navarro. It seems like government couldn’t mount as effective resistance against the Trump economic team, but maybe they didn’t have to since Kushner and Mnuchin were in the WH.
Thank you. Bannon is a great reader of the political tea leaves….
During the drama last week Bannon called, directly, for Trump to be made SOH for at minimum 100 days, and essentially said he was the only person in the country who could handle the negotiations that are in front of us.
Bannon wants the good guys to win. Don’t believe me, listen to his show.
I usually do. He has some guests and used his gettr account to promote Desantis. It gave me pause. I wish he would go back to work for the campaign but also if he stays in Trumps corner the show is beneficial.
So you’re watching, but flipping the message 180-degrees?
He’s been railing on RDS big donors nearly everyday, explaining how THEY are the real leaders (underwriters) of the cartel. Pay attention when he mentions Ken Griffith of Citadel and others. Perhaps the hits are too subtle for some.
It’s been non-stop “take note”, since Bannon pointed out the liberal rag, The Atlantic, wrote what he described as a “puff piece” for RDS in April of 2021.
This one, to be specific: “The Rise of Ron DeSantis”
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/what-ron-desantis-knows/618673/
I asked a question. I didn’t “ flip”a message. I noticed a post Bannon shared on his gettr by Pedro Gonzalez recently. It was a piece on DeSantis. I try to catch war room as often as I can. Which was the basis for my question. Clips don’t always give full context. Forgive my question please
A big NEGATIVE on your posit!!
What are you seeing that makes you think that? Post some links.
It was in gettr acct. one that stands out recently was Pedro gonzalez article. I am not being critical I am asking merely as an assurance because I realize it could damage Trump( in my opinion ) there were other articles shared but I don’t recall exactly what they were. Thank you for asking me ! 😊
He isn’t now but I can sense his finger is in the air testing the winds.
Bob Good is my congressman!!!! Love him!!
Please tell Congressman Good thank you, from a fellow Virginian unfortunately in Wittman’s district.
What Exactly are the house rule changes won by the 20?
Will the public see these rules changes?
Can the speaker overide these rule changes?
When does the rules committee meet?
Riddle me this?
How many are in a quorum in the us house.
From what I have read on the house web site the word majority can mean WHATEVER the clerk deems it is on the question of a quorum.
All uniparty members need to do is not show up for a vote giving one or the other side of the uniparty a vote advantage.
If the rule about what a quorum means stays in place you can forget all the other rule changes if they happen.😳
A quorum quandry!
The clerk can call the shots or someone telling the clerk what to say and do as seen during the beginning of the 14 votes for speaker.
I saw a guy telling the vlerk what to do because the clerk didn’t seem to know what to do.
Go back and review the video record.
One clerk flew over the coocoo’s nest at the podium?😳😳
LBJ got things passed in the senate by calling votes in the middle of night or when senators were out of town and only notifying his votes to be present. Crooks always find a way to be crooked.
McCarthy is obligated (considering the rules pass) to keep his agreements or the 20 can take him out at a moment’s notice.
Once one member calls to vacate the chair, the chair is vacated until a new speaker (or the same speaker) is re-elected. No further business is conducted until the speaker position is resolved.
I am not sure what is considered a quorum, but the number of votes for a majority is one half of the voters present and voting plus one
Start watching on Monday….
For some reason your comments are landing in moderation….you are NOT on any list. I’ll look into it and see if I can find the problem. 🙁
The Clerk is in charge at the beginning of a new legislative session until the House vote on for Speaker. It took 15 votes for the House to get a Speaker, so she was in charge until he was sworn in.
she is not in “charge” per se but runs the proceedings as a proxy until a SotH is selected
Come on man ! Bannon’s HighHopiumRoom ?
Not high hopium, just the regular stuff. Big supporter of SB, but, you have to take things with a grain of salt. Rules package needs to pass the House tomorrow. Let’s see how it does. (Note: When Nancy ran things you’d never have doubts like we’re having.)
I’ll hold a wait and see attitude. We have been burned too many times in the past. One thing for sure KM is spineless.

Rep. Andrew Ogles Reveals What Concessions Were Made in Battle for Speaker of the House
https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/rep-andrew-ogles-reveals-what-concessions-were-made-in-battle-for-speaker-of-the-house_4968315.html
For Ogles, the basis of all the negotiations was to establish the rules of the game in Congress that had been altered over the years beyond recognition. As he pointed out, the rules of a game almost always determine the winner.
He shared with me a list of some of what has been roughly negotiated to date. The devil, as always, is in the details.
As has been reported, it will only take a single congressperson, acting in what is known as a Jeffersonian Motion, to move to remove the speaker if he or she goes back on their word or policy agenda.A “Church”-style committee will be convened to look into the weaponization of the FBI and other government organizations (presumably the CIA, the subject of the original Church Committee) against the American people.Term limits will be put up for a vote.Bills presented to Congress will be single subject, not omnibus with all the attendant earmarks, and there will be a 72-hour minimum period to read them.The Texas Border Plan will be put before Congress. From The Hill: “The four-pronged plan aims to ‘Complete Physical Border Infrastructure,’ ‘Fix Border Enforcement Policies,’ ‘Enforce our Laws in the Interior’ and ‘Target Cartels & Criminal Organizations.’”COVID mandates will be ended, as will all funding for them, including so-called emergency funding.Budget bills would stop the endless increases in the debt ceiling and hold the Senate accountable for the same.That’s all Ogles would tell me for now, but there is undoubtedly more in ongoing negotiations that could continue even after the final speaker vote. No word, from him anyway, on committee assignments or agreements, although there are discussions on positions for Freedom Caucus members. Ogles did acknowledge his own interest in the Financial Services Committee, due to his economic background, or the Judiciary Committee.
No word either, so far, of a different kind of Jan. 6 investigation, unless that is intended to be wrapped into the new “Church” committee.
What happened to Pres Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment . . . “Never speak ill of another Republican” . Guess that ship sailed . . .
Rip Van Winkle wakes up after 20 years
…and discovered Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
It died at the altar of do not actively campaign to cause harm either literally or to the reputation of another conservative
When are conservatives going to realize that Congress (just a narrow margin in the House, no less) is not going to fix this?
It’s a starting point.
ALL roads lead back to Congress.
The “Insurance policy” to Watergate PDJT, originated in Congress, cooked up by McConnell/Ryan, and implemented by DOJ/FBI.
ALL of the traitors installed in PDJT’s admin, confirmed by McConnell.
Congress passed laws in the ’40’s, to limit media ownership, but then let FCC raise the percentages, as the big mefia conglomerates swallowed up more and more newspapers and tv stations.
They could have stopped the rise of MSM, but didn’t.
Congress CREATED “the 4th branch”.
Congress IS the center of the Swamp.
All I heard from the GOPe’s and the Presstitutes last week was … “what do they want?” … “what do they want? “ … “they’ve not expressed any concrete ideas!”
What a bunch of LIARS! And that means YOU … Pirate eyepatch dude
I’m very proud of my Representative Andy Harris MD! Holding ground in a blue state 👏
Me too
I’m a Marylander and was disappointed that Harris caved earlier than the others and voted for McCarthy.
Why did he cave while the others saw McCarthy still had not agreed to all the demands? IMHO it doesn’t speak well of Harris’s political courage.
The “blue” areas of Maryland are between the two big densely populated cities, DC and Baltimore, and spread out around those urban centers in seven or eight counties (out of 23) where large numbers of federal and state employees live. Outside of that corridor, to the east and west, it’s mostly red.
Worst excuse so far in 2023–“Intransigent negotiation, turn of phrase and metaphors”
Hey pirate boy! I don’t walk back ANYTHING I learned about you! Because you don’t much like Americans out here just trying to make ends meet. You’ll do the bidding of your WEF masters before you’ll do anything for us. You’re a pure GOPe never-Trumper. Go away. You’re not a conservative … or a serious Legislator
As frustrating as this is, it’s a necessary step in the MAGA takeover. Things are going to be unpleasant for several cycles as we weed out more GOPes and RINOs and elect MAGA candidates. The enemies will out themselves now. I see Nancy Mace is among the first. She needs to be primaried in 2024.
But, but, but … she’s a PROUD “purple” … she’s desperately trying to please everyone. Left, Right, Center. She’s confused and unprincipled
Exactly.
Yup. THATS WHY you DO NOT “vote straight Republican ticket” EVER.
You vote for MAGA Candidates ONLY, and you ONLY vote for MAGA candidates.
Thankfully, WE have now drawn the lines so stark, RINOS can’t really masquerade as MAGA, they just can’t pull it off.
Russ Vought is a treasure. Tremendous knowledge, solid principles, and wisdom on how to get things done.
Take a second look at what a believer in a “representative, constitutional republic”, looks like. These 20 holdouts are true patriots.
They are NOT sheep,
They are Patriots,
BUT
The swamp is still the swamp,
The rules they negotiated MUST be voted on by the other 203 RINO’s……
I’ll believe it when I step in it…..
MAGA Rising
11b
Today’s 3 percenters.
These 20 MAGA Republicans are exactly why McCarthy and McConnell and McDaniel worked so hard to make sure MAGA candidates lost in the 2022 midterms.
Didn’t hear anything about single topic bills with time to read, just a rules committee to prevent deficit spending which, if actually enforced, would lead to an economic crash. So much in this country is addicted to money spent out of thin air. Plus, this will be in place, I assume, only as long the Reps have control of the House.
The new and improved (and equally worthless based upon the long term results of the last one) Church Committee was the other win briefly mentioned.
BTW, why haven’t we seen an itemized LIST of the supposed wins with details? There may be one. Where is it?
Sounds nice and at least there is potential for more public exposure if not action … the only proof will be the “test by fire” while legislating vs the first major bill, an Executive Branch Proposal, committee finding or referral to DoJ from a committee.
The other major test will come if the Gang of 20 decide to take up a Constitutional argument before the Supreme Court … the Rules committee also controls these types of actions.
And those twenty will be punished like the brazilian protesters.
Those of y’all who are on Truth Social should follow Russ also his Center for Renewing America posts.
Congress was soooo off the rails under Pelosi.
And now we know why.
She had all the power, she wrote the bills, she lowered them to voters.
That was all Congress did.
You could tell they were on the right track by the amount of effort that was exerted to “demonize” them and cast them as spoilers and interlopers. It makes me happy that I donated to Boehbert!! We need the remaining members of the “tea” Party/ Freedom caucus to join this effort en mass…..
Why a mystery?
