Someone who looks a lot like House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said some things today that don’t look or sound at all like House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Just watch, and stay with it:

Who is this imposter?

Relax! The old McCarthy hasn’t gone away. Yesterday, He said he would remove George Santos from the House if the ethics committee finds anything on him, essentially handing a seat over to the Democrats.
So, removing Santos means a Dem gets the seat? No, another Republican gets the seat. Listen to the answer McCarthy gave about Schiff and his correlation to Santos, the voters, and more so the pool of other Reps available.
Don’t they have to have an election. Santos purportedly “flipped” the seat. Wouldn’t the dems run someone against him?
He’s not talking about the election but yes if it was…
He’s talking about committee assignments and the like.
i looked it up and found the Gov appoints if Santos resigns. untrue?
Define “Finds Anything”. Santos has already equaled the standards of Schiff, Swalwell, and Joe Biden in that they are liars. Schiff and Swalwell are still going to get committee assignments with their track record of treason. Santos will never achieve their level of treasonous behavior.
I love it when the Uniparty gets upset when Team MAGA turns the game around on them. Suddenly they act righteous and moral even though their team commits whatever “Today’s Outrage” is a million times more.
I thank Kevin McCarthy for doing what he is doing. Other than a few other brave souls in our government, no one has stood up to these demons. Props to him for what he is doing. I think that he and PDJT have had a few conversations and he now has eyes to see and ears to hear.
Well, what standards you ask??
Let’s look at the bate and switch the RNC pulled in Republican primary for US House Seat TX-3 (Collin County, TX).
They put up incumbent Van Taylor , the current holder of the seat the desired Kieth Self and a young businesswomen with MAGA potential.
Van Taylor won in a walk away with >40% but did not get 50%. Then geee golly whiz …. it was exposed AFTER THE VOTING CLOSED that Van Taylor had a fang-fang with an ISIS female commando. The RNC bounced Van the Man, and Per TX-RNC rules all his votes went to the runner up Kieth Self, who had only managed about 29% of the vote vs 25% for the Businesswomen, Giving Kieth Self >50%.
Then again …McCarthy did qualify his standard with the term “anything illegal”.
So, we will see.
You mean exposed after EARLY voting closed for the primary election. Exposed on a Sunday. Affected election day voting, so Van Taylor could not achieve the over 50 per cent. I live in Collin County CD-3. There was a lot to the story of why opposition to Van Taylor occurred, due in large part to a big grudge against him by a very wealthy constituent. Who thought to interview the “ISIS Bride” for this alternative news site, I do not know?
I had already early voted for Van Taylor in that primary, which had several GOP challengers. When the Fall 2022 general election occurred, I, for the first time, under-voted for CD-3. I could not bring myself to cast a vote for Keith Self (or anyone else) mainly because I absolutely hated the way Self (throwing his weight around as a former county judge of Collin County) inserted himself into an important highway project TXDOT is funding in the county. I might vote for Self in the future once I see how he represents our district.
I live in Collin County, TX as well and voted for the Businesswomen, Suzanne Harp. I too did not care for Kieth Self.
Agree Van the Man’s fang fang was exposed late to keep him from 50% but it was also done to get Kieth Self the nomination. I spoke with some Republican Committee folks during the Allen, TX municipal elections the year before and they told me that Kieth Self was already designated as the anointed one to replace Van Taylor by the party and the local big donors.
The whole primary was set up to get Kieth Self put in place. Suzanne Harp finished a very close 3rd to Kieth Self and I think she had a decent chance to beat him in a fair primary Van Taylor served 2 purposes in that primary.
Electioneering by the RNC to ensure the Uniparty guy got the bid instead of the outsider. The Uniparty has many ways to steer elections their way.
You can bet your last dollar the dims wouldn’t give up Santos’ seat if he were a dimocRAT. Hell, he fits right in.
If lying about ones resume is such an egregious sin, why is Liz Warren given a pass?
Or Blumenthal
Actually, why was Biden given a pass?
Lying is OK if you’re a Democrat. It’s expected and a job requirement. Ends justify the means. C’mon man!
Exactly, I predict this version of KMc will not last very long before his Ryan side will take over; then, we will see exactly what the 20 KMc objectors achieved.
Kevin better be careful. He might find telling the truth to be addictive.
Even the intonation of his verbal delivery is changed and for the better. How he used to speak drove me nuts, just like Mike Pence’s.
I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him but so far so good.
I almost hate to post this because “some” will say I’ve lost my mind, but is this really Kevin?
https://diannemarshallreport.com/wheres-the-show-going-from-here/
And what about this Ted Talk in 2018 and the technology they are and can use. Let’s just say…it is not beyond the realm of possibility.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
This is great stuff.
Why are so many people on our team being so critical when Kevin is doing the right thing?
Stop letting the perfect get in the way of the good!
“Why are so many people on our team being so critical when Kevin is doing the right thing?”
Experience. Rhetoric is not follow through. Making up is hard to do. Years of abuse will not dissipate with a couple of good speeches.
Forgiveness takes time. Show me.
Continuing to administer beatings for past sins because of your own doubts is akin to abuse. We’re not asking folks to instantly forgive him, but the wise person praises good behavior without the constant hectoring over past sins.
“Who is This Kevin McCarthy, and Where Did He Come From?”
Wise people pay attention to history. If McCarthy continues to do the right things, he will get my praise. He just started. There is no ‘continuing constancy’ in anything yet; beatings nor praiseworthy results.
Being suspicious of McCarthy is not beating him. It’s wise.
The Founders made a government where the People are supposed to be suspicious of words and expecting of results. I’ll go with that.
Thanks Paul, this is exactly the sentiment of many here. There’s no perfect Rep. You take the good with the bad, while hoping for more good than bad. If not, you don’t elect them again. It’s a very simple process that has been convoluted by an incestuous relationship between government, political elites, and the supposed media.
“the wise person praises good behavior without the constant hectoring over past sins.” Amen!
“Trust but verify.” Pretty sure that was Reagan.
This amounts to giving him a second chance, but like a lying teenager, he gets a short leash and not quite full benefit of the doubt.
If you don’t understand that, you are the mark.
Life works how it works, not how you wish it worked.
The phrase “Trust but verify” actually comes from an old Russian proverb. Reagan used it with Gorbachev to make him eat his own words. It worked. 🙂
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Trust+but+Verify
“Life works how it works, not how you wish it worked.” Yep.
‘Trust but verify’ is a very different sentiment than ‘besmirch every positive action by reciting every past negative one’. You provide NO INCENTIVE for positive change if you refuse to recognize and praise good behavior. Every parent that has successfully raised a child should know this.
Is this what we are doing by praising McCarthy? Raising children? This guy who is second in line to be President?
I’ll offer him an attaboy, a participation trophy, and a cookie.
Well said.
“Rhetoric is not follow through.” true but will Shifty and Swallowell be in the intel committee?
…And follow through is not rhetoric. The Shifty Swallowwell clown team are NOT on the Intel Committee – that’s follow through, not rhetoric. Thanks Speaker McCarthy, keep up the good work.
This!!!! He pushed back and called out the narrative making in real time and then asserted his answer with facts using cross aisle similarities but with logical distinctions. Ruined that reporters day.
We’ve been burned by those that seem to be on our side. It’s a lack of trust. And it will take time for us to trust and for them to earn our trust.
Con. Gowdy comes to mind. Lindsey Graham every damn day. McConnell. The list is long and 90% or more of the talking heads.
I like what he said and the way he said it, but still prefer those old words: “Trust No one.” Until it is done, you can’t trust anything anyone says.
Because how about that Lindsey Graham 2.0 or Cocaine Mitch? And what bits of Con Inc. generated those sobriquets? Leopards don’t change their spots.
Until the past few days, I was unaware he cared for this country. At all.
Liked his use of ‘them’ in his response.
Saying is not Doing. If it were, Trump would have been a great President.
Lmao, so you’re digging the Biden return to decency no malarkey inflation ride.
President Trump governed more conservatively and effectively than any president in my lifetime. The result was increased wealth for all Americans across the board. He cut more regulations which freed up the American economy.
I don’t fault him for the Deep State actors that still are trying to sideline him. I’m thankful he exposed how deep and vast the Swamp is, full of bureaucrats and political bad actors in both parties.
👎
When someone has a history of talking out both sides of their mouth then it’s wise to be cautious about anything they say or do.
To me, there is a difference between whiny Eeyore and guarded skepticism. Some of this stuff is Eeyore level and some of it is guarded skepticism. If you want someone to continue to do positive behaviors then you have to try some positive reinforcement with the hope that they continue. That doesn’t mean that you give them the Grand Prize because, as yet, they have not completely changed.
It’s like trying to get your husband who has never helped around the house and is a slob to change. If he does something helpful then thank him. If you just continue to point out his failures and complain about his past behaviors and tell him that he will fail then what does that accomplish? If someone does something nice for you then be appreciative. It does not mean that you have to be enthralled with them and think that they are perfect.
We need to start behaving towards the commie dems and the RINOs that even the smallest victory is one giant leap towards their elimination. Treat it like football when a player gets to the First Down. There was no score but the ball was advanced. We need to celebrate our First Downs in order to demoralize them and make them feel weaker and vulnerable.
We need to take control of the narrative and laugh at them when they lose even the smallest battles.
While I can appreciate your approach, we are talking about (supposed) adults here.
Excluding your example of behavior, we are talking about people who have been chosen by their community to represent them and their wishes.
Please don’t take this as a personal slight but, your approach to this is exactly why we are, where we are.
If all you ever do is praise them when they do a little good, then a little good is all you’re ever going to get.
Nobody in any position of power has been held to account when they vote against the wishes of the very people they are supposed to represent.
“Vote them out!” used to be the approach but, if you have been paying any attention to the last 20 years you know, as well as I do, that this approach is no longer going to work.
I say that having witnessed it personally in the last local election where somehow, our little community found 3,000 ballots at the end of the day to push their preferred candidate into the state house race we were
hoping to win.
The corruption is very deep and the time for coddling these so called “Leaders” when they do a little bit right is in my humble opinion, a waste.
These people do what they think will get them elected the next go around based on polls and staffers that whisper into their ear that they are doing what is right for the most people, and of course whatever will get them the most donations.
The fact that it is almost the least that they can do is no coincidence.
That dog won’t hunt.
Time to put it down.
I did not say to ONLY praise them when they do a little good. I said, “If you want someone to continue to do positive behaviors then you have to try some positive reinforcement with the hope that they continue.” TRY and SOME not ALL. If KMc starts to exhibit a spine, then great, we start moving to his corner. If he wimps out then he gets a smackdown from Gaetz and Co.
Positive reinforcement is not coddling. If we had not voted (voting worked!) in those the Fabulous 20 who put KMc’s feet to the fire then we would have still been watching the Uniparty doing the Two Step on the Potomac. We could have written our representatives until we were blue in the face. We could post Tough Guy ideas on CTH to no avail. Even PDJT, while president, couldn’t move the needle in our favor. Until Gaetz and Co showed up, they weren’t even the slightest bit afraid of us.
The only thing that changed is that Matt Gaetz rallied 20 people to fight them. We actually HAD representation. It worked, for now.
So yeah, I’m in favor of giving KMc a golf clap and then see what he does next. I am still going to live my life with a glass half full frame of mind. You are free to advocate for glass half empty.
You are correct, you did not say ‘ONLY’, that was my inference.
“Positive reinforcement is not coddling.”
Let me counter that with a thought I believe is my own…
Only a feeble mind requires encouragement to do what is right. (The only quote I can find that comes close is from Arthur C. Clark “Only feeble minds are paralyzed by facts.”)
Perhaps the issue is mine. I expect too much from our supposed leaders.
People are fallible, that fact is not lost on me.
However, given what it takes to even get on the ballot for federal elections I am inclined to not forgive the foibles of those who take up the mantle of power.
Their decisions affect too many and I refuse to give credence to the thought that our ‘leaders’ don’t understand our strife.
Matt Gaetz and some of the others are, IMHO, anomalies.
I am more inclined to believe they are purposely insulated from that struggle which allows them to believe they are doing what is best for us, or at least pretend to believe it.
I can give no better example than the one I gave you in my prior post. I watched as our grassroots candidate lost his election in 2020 with 3000 “found ballots”. Only to turn around in 2 years and elect a different candidate from the same political party. Only this time the candidate was a BIG contributor to that same party where in 2020 the candidate did not have the means to give so much.
Realizing this is tipping on the point of conspiracy, I cannot keep myself from seeing what is right before my eyes.
That is where my pessimism comes from.
I can only hope that you maintain your optimism.
Perhaps I am lost as I flew too close to the sun.
Best wishes.
My question what did MTG do to him, give to him or say to them.
“I will never leave that woman”; “I will always take care of her”
Um that’s what he was reporting saying.
Me thinks Kevie is actually a heterosexual and MTG is rubbing off on him.
Well a step in the right direction anyway.
Biden’s about to go. Kackala wont be far behind. KMc is practicing for his big day as acting President.
https://www.newsweek.com/some-questions-kamala-harris-about-eligibility-opinion-1524483
When Biden goes, someone will be inserted as VP: Pelosi, Clinton, Obama……
Kevin will watch from the wings.
I like this impostor. Need a lot more like this impostor. But, having a spine isn’t a sometime thing.
McCarthy and the house republicans are free to make as much MAGA and conservative noise as they want right now. So long as they no the senate won’t pass anything they DO that is conservative, so long as they know Biden can veto and the y can’t over ride, they are free to appear to represent us.
Re visit the years immediately preceding 2016. The house voted unanimously to repeal Obamacare.
When they republicans controlled both houses and knew President Trump would sign it, they wouldn’t bring the exact same bill they had voted unanimously FIVE TIMES for to the floor.
You are correct. Political posturing. Kevin is just saying things, knowing they will go no where. When something comes up and we need him, I doubt he is will be there for America.
Yup. I’ve often wondered if theater arts is part of the political science curriculum.
Yes. Thanks John McCain. What a maverick.
Maybe a dose of MTG?
It’s amazing to hear him saying this stuff.
These are things lots of have been aware but nobody in Congress would dare say publicly.
He’s actually calling out the liars (well, some of them).
I was not happy to see MTG rushing to do a photo op with him but maybe that was a good thing.
This is how abusers continue the abuse: feign change long enough to settle the victim(s) then renew in the beating(s).
Flowers and apologies and “I’ve changed” until the first real test comes. We’ll see.
The Speaker needs to be careful as the cheat that has gone on in AZ, WI, Mi, PA, and elsewhere will be used against him in his next election. The swamp does not like it when someone tries to escape the quick sand.
Who dat?
I can appreciate a good thing when I see and hear it. I appreciate this response from Mr. McCarthy. That is how it is done. He must be watching Kari Lake.
Exactly right, the reporter asking the question doesn’t get to dictate the answer to the question, the person answering does…and that is one technique they use to frame the narrative. Good job Mr. Speaker seeing the snake, hearing the rattle and then just cutting off its head.
I’ll compliment the Speaker for this action which is only a start. Schiff’s lies are far worse than Santos lies. The correct next step is for the ethics committee to open an investigation of Schiff and every other Democrat who lied to the American people. Schiff must be censured in addition to being blocked from the IC. Someone needs to ask McCarthy if he will make this referral since both Santos and Schiff are liars – a fact McCarthy has pointed out.
Looks like a infection of bidens big balls syndrome to me.
Suspicious Kitty is correct.
Always be very careful with swamp rats where crap is their coin. “But” if he holds the line and keeps these anti-American swine tamped down, and calling them what they are, that’s a good thing
Trust but verify.
Could it be that he was playing politics all along to get to where he is now
and now that he has the power he just might rise to the occasion and use it wisely?
probably not – but this video of him was impressive
keep it up!
We will never know until the end.
I pray Speaker McCarthy has seen the light and that this is now the “real” McCarthy. Time will tell.

Sorry Posted to quickly without an explanation
The above link to McCarthy’s brutal response to reporters question
Remember….President Trump had a word with Kevin….my best bet…
I think it was Gaetz who commented that the new rules that McCarthy agreed to in order to get the votes, would make McCarthy stronger & empower him to do a better job. So far I also like it, but still watching!!!
We The People should be demanding Congress set standards for accuracy of State voter rolls, elimination of mass ballot mailing, restriction of ballot transport, elimination of drop boxes, and elimination of “Ranked choice voting”, in National primaries and elections. Yes, the States are responsible for administering elections; but surely Congress has a role in ensuring election integrity!
One weird thing: McCarthy as Speaker of the House, doesn’t have a “contact me” available to non-residents of his district. However, Steve Scalise does.
And the republican ‘intelligentsia’ told us the 20 MAGA holdouts for Speaker were ridiculous. Right. G-d Bless Donald Trump for further inspiring the Freedom Caucus… and Speaker McCarthy.
He’s gotten a lot better about not talking over people – and, dealing frankly but respectfully with reporters.
They have 2 years to uncover, subpoena and get the communications of so many who have committed so many crimes because in 2 years the left will see to it they NEVER again lose the House.
Better get going because this is the final shot to expose the truth and show the true evilness and corruption of the left.
Sorry to say; it isn’t just the left. They ALL do the same things as long as they can get away with them.
Should’ve finished with “neither of these liars should be in Congress.”
Holy grow a spine Batman!!, What the hell was that?
Mr. McCarthy best watch his rear view mirror. Arkancide may be following him, sneaking quietly from shadow to shadow.
McCarthy is whomever McCarthy needs to be in order to amass power.
Well….now we know he has it in him to articulate a TRUTHFUL smackdown. We await more of these. May it be contagious.🙏🏼
Exactly correct Sundance. However…..Recall the words he said regarding Schiff…”He can sit on a committee, just not Judiciary.” THERE is the pullback and Compromise….
IMHO this McCarthy is warming up for when he is President. Biden is going to be 25’d. Kamaltoe will be too, and TADA KM will be prez for a year before 2024 elections
Five people, including one I got to vote for (yay!) forged this new guy in the fires of real opposition.
Eventually there were twenty, but the first five lit the fire and brought the hammers and tongs.
McCarthy knows they still have the coals smoldering in the forge, and they will employ the bellows if necessary.
Question… Who was the Reporter?
Rino meets his own personal “Mr. Spine Backbone”. I hope it lasts
I hope we are witnessing a politician realize that there is a sea change coming and there is a lot of political power behind representing the vast majority of the nation ‘again’.
The international reserve status of the US dollar is coming to an end. To be replaced by the physical gold exchange standard to balance trade flows. Basically how the international monetary system worked from before the birth of Christ to WW1.
If so, then the balance of power between Main Street and Wall Street will rebalance in Main Street’s favor.
This is a small payback for Trump’s support.
The scorpion on your back helped sting a few of your foes, but in the long run, the scorpion can’t help himself but sting you eventually. It is its nature.
This IS interesting! And as I had shared before we will need to wait and see how he does. But, before he was speaker, and DJT was still standing behind McCarthy; I had mentioned and wondered…is it possible that what McCarthy has been doing was a facade to get him into position to be and do what he is now as Speaker. And would be a tool for DJT in the House. Well, at least right now, he looks and appears strong and is showing and acting out what others have only spoke of. A typical talker with absolutely no credibility behind what he says is Lyndsey Graham. A piece of rhino crap that would be real nice to see gone and replaced with MAGA. Same with the turtle McConnell. Be gone with these frickin rats. Hopefully McCarthy keeps on going here! Time will tell.
McCarthy has appointed Ronny Jackson, MD, retired US Navy Read Admiral serving north Texas to the Corona Investigation Committee. Expect Truth on crimes by CDC, FDA, NIH and JAB happy FAA
He passed on the opportunity to slam the media for not covering the problem of swalwell sleeping with a Chinese spy, and demanding they stop lying to the American people via blatant omission. That should come up in EVER press briefing.
That will never be repeated by the msm. Never (notice that the msm is not in capitol letters. Personally, I have no respect for them, therefore no capitol for them. Only those respected get the ‘big’ letters..
Meh! He gets no “attaboy” from me! I’ll wait to see what ACTION he takes.
It’s easy to talk big when there’s no chance in hell that you can do what you say. I’ve seen the RepubliCAN’Ts do this same kind of thing over and over again for decades.
I have to use caption to understand what is said in these kinds of clips.
So – everytime KMc said Swalwell’s name “swallow” came up on the caption – LOL
Have a Nice Day!
My post has nothing to do with this article.
Removing the swamp should begin with removing Congress from DC; with teleconferencing the Capitol is no longer necessary.
Every member of Congress can and should remain in their home district within full view of Constituents. Those we elect conceal themselves there and can avoid scrutiny.
Gov’t offices can be established in their states and equipped with media where we can contact them and eliminate oversea visits and they must remain in the US where they are hired to represent.
Would require a constitutional amendment… and that ain’t happening without a Convention of States… and that ain’t happening without Divine Intervention. But, you’re right.
The wind controls McCarthy’s water, always watch the wind!
No, he’s not an imposter, and I’m not a fan either.
He’s changed teams.
Why ?
Because more than anything else he wanted to be, and wants to remain, Speaker of the House.
He knew in order to become Speaker he HAD to change teams, and with the new rules in place, in order to remain Speaker, he has to play HARD for his new team.
It’s as simple as that.
The guy he rooms with( Frank) , spent 1 million on an identical Oval Office , in his home. Gigs must be good.
I am glad we are seeing this McCarthy. He knows he can be removed easily if he does not do what MAGA wants.
Good for him.
Like I said on Twooter, he just earned one faith chit. Still a long way to go.
I don’t understand the questions in the title, here. Everything sounded well within the parameters of what a Republican leader would say, especially as it relates to the dishonesty of Schiff, which has now been exposed for years. I’d like to be advised as to what I missed. Thanks
What you missed is that McCarthy isn’t known for doing anything to expose, stop, slow down, or hinder the Deep State. In fact, he is very likely an active swamp member who revels daily in the swamp all while making it LOOK like he’s trying to drain it. Therefore, Sundance is shocked, SHOCKED at his words (we wait–rather dubiously–to see whether he will actually follow through on what he says).
Meanwhile, . . . are you McCarthy?
Even a blind squirrel gets an acorn once in a while.
Zebras don’t change their spots.
In the world of “awe shits” and “atta boys”, McCarthy needs a whole lotta more atta boys before he even gets close to being OK.
For those of you who enjoy grabbing your ankles, BOHICA is just a House vote away.
He’s putting on a great show. I hope he keeps doing it. But what he says and what he does should always remain consistent. I’m tired of “believing” in these people. I just don’t any more. I make certain exceptions with Trump because he’s quite different. Most of what he says is public is difficult to understand and interpret for the media and others. For example his claims of saving millions of lives. He had to make that claim because he needed the leftist media to claim otherwise. But most people interpret that literally. I do not.
I interpret Trump’s claim to mean “he left it to the states and therefore many lives were spared from the punishment of the left” which is 100% true and accurate.
But when it comes to politicals like guy? I’ll hand it to him, when he is made to play a role, he plays it to a tee…. so far. This is just the start so let’s not be swooned so quickly. But maybe he will find it to be more fun to play the good guy for a change.
Do you mean like the show Lindsey Graham gave us at the Kavanaugh hearings?
I think in Lindsey’s case it was an accident, he never meant to make that big of an impression.
I think he was as surprised as I was at the People’s reaction.
Yep, I take Trump seriously but not always literally while realizing that he has to work with some of these swamp creatures.
