According to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a deal “in principle” has been reached between himself and Joe Biden. McCarthy held a brief press conference to announced the deal; however, no details are forthcoming. WATCH:
WASHINGTON DC – … [B]oth Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy still have to sell their respective parties on the agreement, navigating fraught votes in both chambers. McCarthy immediately hosted a call with members after the deal was announced, calling it a “big win” and claiming Democrats didn’t get “one thing” that they wanted out of the negotiations on a member-wide conference call, according to three people on the call.
While conservative Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) vocally criticized the agreement — saying he was “extremely disappointed” that the deal didn’t include “any meaningful cuts” — other Freedom Caucus members praised the deal, including Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Warren Davidson (R-Ohio). Though both said they wanted to see the text, Jordan praised McCarthy for a deal where the government is “spending less” than it did before and getting Democrats to move on work requirements.
“Seems like a pretty darn good deal to me,” Jordan said, according to one of the people on the call.
And the speaker forcefully defended the agreement after Good’s criticism, saying it could pass the Senate and that he never claimed the legislation the House passed last month would be the “end all bill.”
McCarthy concluded the call around 10:30 p.m., telling his conference that he needed to speak to the White House again and make sure the text reflected their agreement on principle. “Let’s stick together,” he said while concluding the call. Biden and McCarthy will talk again Sunday, the speaker had told reporters earlier.
In addition to lifting the $31.4 trillion borrowing cap through the 2024 presidential election, the deal in principle would keep non-defense spending roughly flat for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, according to a person familiar with the negotiations, falling far short of the $130 billion in cuts at fiscal 2022 levels that Republicans had originally demanded.
Non-defense spending would increase by 1 percent in 2025, followed by years of non-enforceable funding targets, according to the person familiar. Republicans had initially pushed for a decade of strict funding limits. Defense spending would be set at the level proposed in Biden’s budget for the coming fiscal year, representing a modest 3.5 percent increase over current funding levels — less than what many Republican defense hawks would’ve liked to see for the Pentagon in order to keep pace with inflation.

Of course they did. Can’t say in polite company how I would describe Mitch. (Given that McCarthy is another Mitch fan boy.)
What else would we expect out of the DC Potempkin Village ?
Drama for the masses…create illusion of opposition.
We are moving toward a very authoritarian government characterized by a congress which ignores the people and an entrenched bureaucracy with its own agenda. It’s really moving into a classic Fascist organization. As it is with all totalitarian states, there are no competing political parties. Our Republican and Democrat parties, in practice, have morphed into one “uniparty”. The two and their surrogates ganged up on, blocked, libeled, slandered and finally got rid of a real opponent, Trump.

Why on earth would these cockroaches care what the people want most of them got into office with a greasing of the palm. The serve their masters. Remember biden said I don’t need your votes.
He didn’t get the VOTES of the American people. He got the ballots of the Democrat machine.
We are already there. Have been for some time.
Yep.
https://magavotesmatter.com
Count your blessings if it remains US-based authoritarianism and not the Malthusian global satanists.
EXACTLY! And it is too late for this fascist takeover to be fixed at the ballot box. We sailed by that option about fifty years ago. The question which the masses must ask themselves going forward: Are you going to fish or cut bait?
At least they aren’t Democrats, right?
fake war and the 2022 midterm was rigged with surgical precision
As will 2024…

That is a very interesting article on how to stop election fraud. That guy has some serious credentials .
Actually, no he doesn’t, really.
By his own accounts, he has been ‘all over’ State voter rolls in numerous States; he says his team got Ron Johnson re-elected in Wisconsin, has done numerous fractal analyses if the Maracopa voter rolls, and numerous unspecified other voter rolls.
And yet, a different team of ‘experts’, analysing the voter rolls in NYS, uncovered 4 algorythms in the States voter rolls; by reverse engineering them, they realised they are used to “clone” voters, in order to create “phantom” voters, which is supposed to be Jay Valentines “thing”; identifying phantom voters.
These other researchers submitted their research and findings for peer review, and they have been deemed valid.
They render the voter rolls for NYS as totally corrupted, and while other States voter rolls have not yet been checked, does anyone doubt they will find the same algorythms there?
And yet Jay Valentine didn’t find them?
Moreover, what Mr. Valentine alleges, just doesn’t sound right.
According to his articles, he is offering “without charge” his system, to the RNC (obviously no interest there) but also to the Kari Lake team, the Donald Trump campaign, and by his own articles he has had dealings with True the vote and Mike Lindell, who have been ALL OVER election integrity.
And,…nobody is interested in his “free” offer?
The logical conclusion is either it doesn’t perform as he alleges, it isn’t “free” and he is looking to cash in, or both.
The RNC I can see ‘turning him down’ as they are up to their elbows in election fraud, but the others are fighting the good fight, and spending lots of $ to do it.
PDJT and Mike Lindell are both businessmen, who can recognise a good and just as important BAD investment.
That they both turned it down, this supposedly “free offer” speaks volumes.
And, in his apperent effort to gain support for his “product” he is regularly posting articles saying “Without my system, they will just steal it, again!” which suppresses MAGA voters.
Eiither his is “playing for the other side” or in his fanatical attempt to push his system, he has redoubled his effort, while forgetting his aim.
What Maracopa ciunty theft demonstrates is it is not possible to overcome a candidate with a significant margin of victory, just by the methods of ballot stuffing available to them; they must ALSO use major voter suppression, and with Jay Valentines articles, he is suppressing MAGA voters.
Initially, I admit I “fell for” this guys schpiel, but again it MAKES NO SENSE.
The people I trust with elections are True the Vote.
from the article:
“Leftists are jumping for joy as Lake and Trump take the bait — outperform the pros at ballot-harvesting, when they have a dozen other ways to steal an election. None of those ways is addressed by Lake or Trump. They do not even understand them.”
.
.
Which is why I shared this response to this CTH post. As you can see, nobody seems to understand. Here we go again.

What many hopefuls seem tragically ignorant of is that the house always wins.
Excellent article. Thank you for passing it along!
Fake war, fake president, fake economy, fake news nd ron desantis maga lite.
and it all started with a fake pandemic as that was the tool they used to remove the President.
; )
Before or after Biden gave away United States sovereignty to the W.H.O. for their totalitarian removal of our Constitutional rights during the next plandemic?
Actually, we have a year; they gave it one year, not one Congressman or Senator seems to know or care, and if the U.S. Giverment doesn’t initiate withdrawal from WHO, in one year it goes into effect.
The only responce then is “Oh, yeah? And how many divisions does the WHO have?”
The record of the blue helmets is they run away, real good.
Jiom Jordan is noit in our court – he’s a McCarethy fanboy and a fraud. His committees will do nothing but write anngry letters – Bengazi 2.0.
MTG appears purely performative at this point as well, sadly. Oh, she’s still calling for impeachments, mind you.
Where’s the bill to defund the FBI?
435 voting members in the House, and less than 20 who won’t sell-out the whole nation for some small-potatoes campaign contribution. What a vile group of scumbags.
Gee, submitting and even voting for a motion you KNOW is going to go absolutely no where, WHERE have we seen THAT before?
Hint, MTG only has about 48 more times to submit her impeachment articles, ..
I understand she made a BOATLOAD of $, from contributions to her campaign, tho!
Norsemen, you insult scumbags, everywhere.
There should be a bill for it even if it goes nowhere because at least it will draw attention to how corrupt the FBI is. They fear the sunlight even though they will never indict themselves.
They really all don’t care about us. Non of them, including mtg Jordan and j6 denier Matt gaetz
Deal smeal, cut about 90% of the special interest funding before any “negotiation” even starts. Then stop all kickback cash from that laundromat sheet hole Ukraine and require every abled body person under the age of 65 who receives any public money, perform a minimum of 20 hrs a week work, period full stop.
Baseline budgeting needs to go extinct, yesterday.
They are all arguing about a few percentage points that is being added on top of the already baked-in increases f0r inflation and other.
Raising the debt limit is an exercise in futility and fit only as a mockery given the conditions they operate under.
Currency debasement continues to make a certain few very wealthy, indeed.
Our only consolation is this is all meaningless, and they have no control over what DOES have meaning.
81 countries, out of a total of around 180, IIRC are meeting in Russia, to hammer out the details for converting to gold backed currencies, for their reserves and dumping the $.
Once they do, any that stay with the $ will see their reserves VALUE wiped out, so it will be “last one out, turn out the lights” and the U.S. Treasuries will no longer be the reserve currency.
And, it is actually THAT, which enables the Fed to “print money” and the Congress to spend it; the “debt limit” is meaningless.
Its like a credit card holder, deciding they will limit their credit card balance, on their own and then periodically deciding they will up the amount, whats going on with the reserve, is the credit card company ordering the waiter to cut up the freakin card.
This will finally put an end to this annual charade over the debt limit; yes CONgress has the “Power of the purse” but with no $ IN the purse, the power is nill.
Bingo!
I guarantee the debt clock will go up at a quicker rate. Everyone bend over and grab your ankles. The District of Corruption is the only place that works by making matters even worse.
I cant see your image post because its from Truth Social. I do have an account but apparently this happens because Im using a VPN which I started using many years ago to help protect big tech spying. However, this doesnt happen with any other site I visit. Below is a snap shot of what I see when I try to navigate to Truth Social with VPN on. My current IP address is from a server located in Utah. Shouldnt have to choose between privacy and access to Truth Social
Devon Nunes is suspicious
I don’t use truth social because of its limited amout of text you can post. Also you can’t log in through a vpn.
I have been using https://tumblr.com because its much better and so far I have not been censored in ANY way.

I have also been posting on twitter and my posts still remain.
I have checked for shadow banning also.
BINGO!!!
What about the Covid money they didn’t spend and the IRS agents?
There should be NO raise to the debt limit. None. Quit spending immediately.
I am sick to death of the Dems spending money left and right and center and the Republicans just go along with it. Any time the Dems need more money and holler and scream for raising the debt limit, Republicans should say NO.
This will be the second time in 2 years that the debt limit has been raised to allow Biden’s shadow government to spend more money.
As I have said before, we are all living in a movie. The elites (including Jim Jordan, Matt Gates, and Marjorie Taylor/Greene) are all actors and they read their scripts in front of cameras for their audience (that’s us) every single day. They don’t write Bills, instead they investigate everything and there is never an outcome. Just investigate and bring out all of the criminal findings and move on to the next investigation.
Crazy world.
Whoseyore,
You’re on the right track. Expand the view:
Underneath all the theater, the US has been fundamentally declining for decades, now accelerating.
While the briCs+ Bloc continues to fundamentally strengthen and grow.
(Capital “C”)
“Talk is cheap”, but the fundamentals are inexorable. Including industry, education, STEM; and energy and public health (< biowarfare democide) now adding to the US fundamental decline.
All trends including the US debt point to an end state. What will it be?
Correct. All action is to get re-elected
All of it must be dismantled
Anyone who does not NOW get rid of McCarthy is an enemy combatant.
Gaetz can call for a new vote for the Speaker.
But he won’t because his chosen profession is to be a politician. All talk, no action.
Gaetz can kiss my,…grandstander, prima donna and worthless as tits on a boar.
He’s Mitch McConnell lite. He’s the Washington Generals. He’s the Sharpton. All pretend to put up a good fight, but alas, they succumb to the other side—and make millions doing it.
He won’t. The tapes are still not released and he thinks the j6 prisoners have been given their constitutional rights. Total fake asshat
They all need to be ousted
When Janet yellen said we can move the deadline day you know this is all fake
I’m seeing where a lot of dems are upset with the deal….
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1662643110675988480.html
It is BAD and McCarthy folded and caved like a cheap suit!!! He had his five month probation period and unfortunately HE HAS FAILED! Time to push a motion to vacate because he essentially has broken the Agreement he made with the conservative base that allowed him to become Speaker!!! This time please get a Speaker in place that is not potentially compromised because I always had those fears with McCarthy because he has been around DC for so long!!! Bye Kevin!🥴
And,what exactly is accomplished by a motion to vacate?
McCarthy isn’t Speaker, and no more House business can be conducted, until they elect a new Speaker.
One of the D’s nominates Hakeem Jefferies, one of the R’s, like his goid friend Jordan nominates McCarthy, perhaps someone makes a show by nominating PDJT, or Gaetz, whatever.
All D’s vote for Jefferies, and 210-212 vote for McCarthy; in other words the same kabuki theater with inevitable end.
The only thing it accomplishes is no House business occurs, which at this point is a good thing; lets just LEAVE it that way.
Since they aren’t doing any GOOD, at least they wouldn’t be doing any HARM!
Mccarthy’s deal only slashes $1.9 billion of IRS funding out of the new $80 billion funding. I don’t think Jack Posobeic is trustworthy…
Durhams report just concluded Numerous institutions colluded to defraud a sitting President and the American people and none of them are being de funded. No excuses. Its all staged BS
The debt ceiling is a nothing burger. As long as we are taxed, the criminals aka stolen elected DC politicans will spend (steal) as much of our money as they wish. There is no ceiling(limit) to their thievery. If there was, we would not be 30 trillion dollars in debt.
What an effffing dog and pony show.
I agree…its all theoretical money now. It will just be some journal entry that creates the new money.
Not once the U.S. Treasuries lose status as THE reserve currency.
“The parties over,…its time to call it a day!”
The deepstate planned to bankrupt America a final time.
Color me shocked.
McCarthy is exactly what we knew him to be, a CONman. And I expect the brave 20 holdouts were just as fabulistic. I don’t trust a one of them.
Or was so obvious when he sent everyone home nd stayed. Now they have 72 hrs to read it- right? What a crock!
Have Republicans EVER made a deal that favors WeThePeople – the tax-payers?!?!!
I mean, Jefferson let the 2nd Bank of the United States die during his term. Since then???
Andrew Jackson killed the bank in his time, but that’s about it.
Oh course they did. What’s a couple hundred billion here or there when the alternative is Congress working over a holiday weekend?
I hate to bring this up, but McCarthy is the guy Trump vigorously supported for Speaker, and most of us knew even then that McCarthy would end up doing sh*t just like this.
If PDJT had NOT supported McCarthy, or RONDA, they would STILL have won.
So, wouldn’t have accomplished anything, and WOULD have given the RNC/GOPe the excuse they care desperate for, to deny him the nomination.
They would say he is “not a team player” and is a “disruption”.
They ARE going to deny him the nomination, but it needs to be obvious that it is unmerited.
And again, it would not have prevented Kevin or Ronna from being elected.
No benefit, only downside.
Eyes WIDE OPEN, folks!
DO NOT LOOK AWAY.
Just cause its unpleasant, just cause its as horrific as driving by a car wreck with fatalities, DO NOT LOOK AWAY.
The Texas Legislature just impeached Ken Paxton, probably the only MAGA politician in Texas, because apperently he “called out” the State Senate President, for being drunk? WTF?
And that whole charade of the 20/6, and 9 days to elect a Speaker, was just more kabuki theater, Jordan and Gaetz are just another layer of controlled
opposition, brought to you by the RNC/DNC Uniparty.
This whole debt cieling manufactured crises, is just a long standing tradition of kabuki theater, and its ONLY meaning or value, is to expose the R conference in the House, for what it is, NOT MAGA.
IMHO
Where are Texas voters? They voted for this guy and they are
letting them do this..
I think it has more to do with taking on Pfizer:
Pfizer is under investigation by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for deceptive practices and for possibly falsifying data. Both of these crimes are abundantly documented in the 500 pages of reports from the Pfizer documents compiled by our experts.

If more than 0 democrats in the House vote for this… then the Republicans should reject it.
There should be an immediate motion and vote to vacate the chair. McCarthy has to go!
The problem is we’re still waiting on the republican party, a party lost to corruption and greed, to come around.
Ain’t happening.
Should have formed a Maga party after the stolen 2020 election, an election McConnell and McCarthy still pretend was on the up and up.
Too late for 24!
The Republican Party (the modern one anyway – the one created in the 1850’s) was born out of greed, corruption, and corporate interests. With the advent of the internet, it’s just easier to see now.
No big deal because its a uniparty deal.
You get the status quo.👀
😳
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/05/why_kari_lake_couldnt_close_the_deal.html
Thanks to duke for this link that explains how and why we lose elections.
Get to know the term real time analysis.
The only way to prevent elections from being stolen in swing states.
Wow!😳
Never forget that anything less than a 3-5% raise in FY allocations is considered by both (D)s and (R)s to be massive cuts.
“Inflation adjusted” is more of the same expansionist mumbo-jumbo.
Furthermore, McCarthy and fellow travelers build political capital by adopting cultural conservatism while retaining inflationary policies and spending.
Jordan’s “seems like a pretty darn good deal to me” demonstrates his actual disconnect with the nation’s needs.
Its easy to shop with a credit card with an unlimited credit line and no one demanding payment.
Fraud deal especially where there is no defunding of the FBI, CIA,DOJ, finnishing the wall, deporting illegals.
Kev is a failure and this was all predictable that he would cave. Piglosi always gets what she wants and the GOPe end up holding the bag.
Kev needs to go.
the us and world economy is addicted to counterfeiting (ie raising the debt ceiling). there should be a 5 year plan to slowly wean our economy off of this corrupt practice that has been intensifying for decades. but it will never happen. therefore I support default with drastic withdrawal symptoms (depression) as the only viable course to eventual wellness of the human ecology.
Somebody has to pay for the thousands/millions of illegals pouring into our Country and also Ukraine/Russia war. Of course we cannot forget the money laundering back to the Politicians. The suffering of the AMERICAN people is of no importance.
May I suggest considering purchasing a new large tube of KY jelly to prepare for the anal reaming that the Biden-McCarthy Uniparty are preparing for us?
I hope you all understand – All republicans hate your guts.
There is no Republican Party. We’ll be carpet bombed with ‘campaign mode’ ads , speeches, and the rest….but it’s all just a colossal waste of time and money. Even Matt Gaetz has been suborned.
FUBAR
How much more chaff and countermeasure do we put up with? It will be up to us to stop it, because the republicans love the doggy style position they put us in.
Of course, spending automatically increases by 8% (as I recall), due to “base line” accounting, so no matter what the agreement may be, the budget always automatically increases.
Not to mention, there has not been an actual budget created and passed since FY2009.
Only continuing resolutions that keep the baseline spending from the last budget.
So the ONE TIME, $trillion stimulus, done twice, the ONE TIME bank bailout money, Fannie and Freddie bailout; GM bailout money;
ALL of that is still being spent every year.
I am so sick of hearing any words whatsoever from congresscritters who allow this crap, and pretend we don’t effing know what they do year after year.
I have written to my useless critter Diana Harshbarger, and my useless senators Blackburn and Hagerty, so many times I don’t even get CANNED responses from them any more.
They know damn well who butters their bread, and it ain’t MAGA.
Bastards, all of them.
It didn’t have to be this way… Pansies, is what we got in the GOPe.
IOW:
They won’t stop funding radical leftists
As soon as Matt Gaetz came out saying ‘this is quite possibly the best deal they could have gotten’, I knew the backstabbing American citizens by both sides is done.
Always the drama, reaching deal at the very last end (just like any Star Trek episode, or any movie plot, the wire to the bomb cut at time tickle to 1 sec).
And Dems side (if there is any) concession will be ignored by FJB and his admin.
McCarthy was a mistake. He lied to the caucus then just to get elected and lies now. What a clown show.
After the senate gets done with it, the Xiden junta will get every penny of his budget.
I wonder why they call it a ceiling ?
The use of the word ‘ceiling’ in English is not the word used in old or Middle English for what we envision as a ceiling. Not sure when it came into use.
However, it is derived from the Latin word caelum, or in Spanish ‘cielo’ which means ‘sky.’
So, when the use the word ceiling, what they are saying is the “the sky is the limit.”
And so it is.
Is there a dungeon store in the House that sells cheap suits, that they’ve all gone and bought.
Same old/same old.
Someone with some balls needs to make the Motion to Vacate.
Yes. Both the big political corporations conducted the Kabuki to quiet rising dissent in both parties so that all of the donors to both parties could continue to ignore reality of pending financial chaos and feed heartily at the publicly financed trough. Greed, cowardice and abject stupidity continues to reign in DC. A pox on both houses.
Keving is no different than Behner, Ryan they are all bought and paid for. PERIOD
I’ve been saying, the 3 Mc’s are NFG! (McCarthy, McConnell, and McDaniel)
