My dearest friends, as much as I do not want to accept certain things, this one is critical to accept. Jim Jordan has shown over time that he is simply a purposefully placed “anger manager” on behalf of the Professionally Republican wing of the administrative state.
Perhaps we lost him before the 2020 election, when the “six ways to Sunday” group fired a shot across his bow with the issues about “widespread sexual abuse in OSU’s wrestling program.” The timing seems to fit with the overall dynamic and how the intelligence apparatus operates. Regardless of whether that was the inflection point, the extreme visibility & promotion of the claims, in combination with the sudden disappearance of them, was the impetus –or if it was something similarly timed– something consequential changed in the political orbit of Jim Jordan.
For the past several years, as more intensity has swirled around us, Representative Jim Jordan has appeared as more of a useful “anger manager,” better positioned to satiate the masses than actually deliver any accountability results. The media appearances seemed to align with that intent, and then a very big datapoint surfaced that few -other than myself- seemed to be concerned about.
When the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government was formed, it was constructed in the lane of the House Judiciary Committee. Meaning, the House Judiciary Committee would be the presumptive authority committee under which the select subcommittee would form. For most casual observers, this seemed to be just a parliamentary decision; however, for me it also held concern.
Those concerns were then realized when it was announced that Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan would also sit as the Chairman of the Select Subcommittee. If you are cynical and/or knowledgeable as to how the Deep State operates, this approach positioned Jordan as a backstop against the issuance of subpoenas that would be against the interests of the Professionally Republican leadership. Trying to protect the flickering flame of hope, I held my powder and watched.
What followed was the worst-case scenario that I previously outlined {Go Deep}. It is no longer a question of whether the Select Subcommittee was constructed in an effort to dissuade, dilute and deflect the outrage by the American people who were witnessing the weaponization of government. That’s exactly what the subcommittee result was as a result of Jim Jordan’s leadership.
I told several people at the time, after watching about 5 months of the subcommittee work, “It’s over.” Meaning there never was a genuine, actionable effort on behalf of the new Republican majority to confront the weaponization of government. It was all another farce – another railcar in a “long train of Republican abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object,” gaslighting and kicking the proverbial can.
As much as I did not want to accept it, we were once again victims.
Kevin McCarthy’s Lucy has unlimited footballs.
Jim Jordan is the carefully positioned guardian of Kevin McCarthy. Jordan was the general selected to hang out with the troops and play the role of steering leader; one foot in the trenches and the other foot in the mahogany meeting room. If he did his job well, he would control the glances by the regulars toward the indulgences of leadership.
Jim Jordan did his job very well.
Jordan is corrupt; perhaps that’s too strong a word; perhaps compromised is a better way to put it. Not corrupt/compromised in a way of directly lying, cheating or stealing, but rather corrupt in the same familiar manner that generates all of the frustration we feel. Corrupt in the sense of satiating the masses while being disingenuous in the extreme of creating ZERO accountability.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy used Jim Jordan for exactly this institutional preservation purpose, and Jordan knows it…. and willingly goes along with it…. and willingly plays the role of “anger manager” on behalf of his leadership. That’s the part that has become more obvious and needs to be accepted.
Once you understand this, the next part makes total sense.
WASHINGTON — Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Wednesday became the first lawmaker to announce a bid for speaker of the House, one day after Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the top job in a historic vote.
Asked by reporters in the Capitol if he was running, Jordan replied unequivocally: “Yes.”
“We need to unite the conference,” said Jordan, who had just met with Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., a likely rival for speaker, to inform him of his decision.
Later Wednesday, Jordan sent a letter to colleagues touting his work on immigration and oversight issues on the Judiciary panel and asking for their support.
“Now is the time for our Republican conference to come together to keep our promises to Americans. The problems we face are challenging, but they are not insurmountable. We can focus on the changes that improve the country and unite us in offering real solutions,” Jordan wrote. “But no matter what we do, we must do it together as a conference. I respectfully ask for your support for Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
Jordan said he made his decision after many of his GOP colleagues reached out, urging him to run. A source familiar with Jordan’s thinking said the congressman has repeatedly said that choosing the next speaker “will be a decision for the conference” and now the conference is asking. (read more)
Every element of the professional Republican apparatus in DC, positions their interests for the long game.

Personally, I’ve heard enough of the sternly worded demand letters followed up by hot air to do me a lifetime
The scales have not yet been tipped far enough in our direction for this to work out well
Donald Trump might just level those scales a bit, Jim Jordan certainly will not
The question was asked “who fulfills the requirements of an effective Speaker?
That person is not in Congress today
Trey Gowdy 2.0. All bark, no bite. What I am still trying to figure out is Gaetz backing Jordan for Speaker and calling Jordan “his mentor.” I trust Gaetz no more than any of the others, yet I don’t see Jordan as a much better choice than McCarthy. He’s better than Stefanik, Scalise, and Emmers, but not by much. Problem is, everyone needs to vote their respective Swamp Rat out of office in the primaries. Start picking these incumbents off.
I don’t think there is a good choice here, unfortunately. So instead of picking a personality, we need to choose an idea. The RINO club has to choose from the Gang of 8, so we choose from the Freedom Caucus.
Then we hope the Freedom Caucus holds its member’s feet to the fire on issues.
Eh. The recidivists know that they are now being overtly challenged.
This has nothing to do with leadership. It’s about panic stoked reactionary politics purposed to silence the gathering forces.
They can’t seem to fathom that this is not about personalities. The economic, security and cultural storm clouds are on the horizon.
Nothing in Excess.
OK, since we’re entertaining all possibilities for Speaker of the House, how about former Representative from Georgia, Doug Collins?
I have also heard Byron Donalds well-recommended.
Why not Andy Biggs . . . a really TRUE patriot!!
Mike Lindell
I miss Doug Collins! He was always on target! I was also amazed that he could talk/speak so fast. If you didn’t listen with 110% of your ears while he was speaking, you missed a lot of his great points. And his dry humor, as well.
Is there some way to bring Doug Collins back??? Do any of you Treepers stay in touch with him?
Or, did he just cut out cold turkey because of all the BS in government?
At any rate, I wish him well. I also miss him.
Exactly how many republicans voted to get rid of McCarthy?
And we expect something different? With any of them?
Nothing will change.
^This…
Unfortunately
Exactly right, NOTHING changes. Jorden like MTG just controlled opposition and have been to make people think they might have a choice.
Check his votes on CR and “omnibus” since January. And his votes to keep McCarthy glued to his seat (former). Watch these bastards pick another McCarthy-McHenry-Graves acolyte. Not enough? What about that disgraceful first impeachment hearing last week which was these sellout frauds let become a third Trump impeachment attempt. If you don’t understand this there’s nothing left to say on any of these topics. Nothing.
And I have no praise for KEN BUCK who’s constantly out trashing Trump on msnbc and cnn where he’s obviously interviewing for a job with that stupid grin on his face I could crash in. Garrett Graves is a regular on cnn. Go to utoobe and run searches with each name appended to cnn alt msnbc. I knew what Graves is, but thanks to Levin’s recent Blaze Network segment now I know what Buck is. Louisiana should be ashamed of electing this punk Graves. Kentucky – McConnell and how many how many times is it now? And many others including those of us here in Texas for electing/re-electing John ‘Juneteenth’ Cornyn. Colorado: https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/anti-impeachment-gop-rep-ken-buck-seeks-job-at-cnn/
And Jordan voted no, then came out and criticized the results to remove McCarthy.
So you’d rather McCarthy was still there and absolutely nothing changed? Sure was nice to humiliate one of the RINOs so publicly.
Trey Gowdy 2.0
Trey was all talk and no hat.
He had the hat but no cattle. LOL
THIS…..
The question becomes who is acceptable as Speaker and can be a leader for the change required?
Better go outside of the HOUSE. TRUMP not the guy. He is running for POTUS. If not he would be perfect. Do not have a answer at this point except the swamp will no go outside the SWAMP.
Trump could go in as Speaker and cut corrupt agency funding, roll out a stack of subpoenas for the DS, purge or drive out the worst UniParty traitors in the House and goodness knows how many other needful things, and still step down to resume his campaign by Christmas!
That’s a pretty stupid suggestion though that’s seen here frequently now. Do you understand what Trump is dealing with 2023-2024 and surely beyond? What is it that you thoroughly fail here? WHAT could it really be? Sheese.
Joe Dan Gorman!
That’s a first full blown in the head name of an actual person.
✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸 🙏🏻🇺🇸 Time for The People to vote for Speaker of the House. Those who supposedly represent us do not have the moral integrity to choose the right person who cares more about The People and America than they do themselves.
Mark Levin mentioned how great Jim Jordan would be, but what has Jim Jordan done in 2 1/2 years? He’s all talk. He would not make a good speaker. Period. One of the 8 who voted to vacate McCarthy’s chair should be chosen to be Speaker. I vote for Representative Andy Biggs!
We must pay attention to their voting records.
That is a great idea! To good of an idea some but it will never come about in the DC corruption scum bag pit..

And for all his fierce face questioning when cameras are running, which will take center stage in his next campaign commercials, not one (1) subpoena. Last week was a clown show demonstrating how weak and effeminate he and the others were with their first “impeachment hearing” which was more of a 3RD Trump impeachment attempt, he, Comer, Massie coupled with their “witnesses” Jonathan Koombaya Turley, some white haired harridan and some cuck most never even heard of. Testosterone=EMPTY.
The obvious choice for me (ME) is Matt Gaetz. Do the obvious reasons really need citing? Tim Burchett 2-TN or Matt Rosendale 2-MT. Both are outstanding and won’t initially scare the hell of out the normie DOPES. If at this point you need background on either Burchette and or Rosendale or any others senate or house check https://libertyscore.conservativereview.com/ which is the most accurate rating/s you’ll find and where you can see how they voted on every bill.

Sounds just like the Boehner-Ryan “handoff” to me.
I never realized I was duped by Jordan’s acting. But, it makes sense. The Gym Jordan accusations just melted away when he became a team player.
Like Bongino or not, recently he has made his position clear that none of these people are but tools for a job. They are disposable once they have no use. Jim Jordan has outlived his usefulness to us. Maybe just as much of a threat as the influence of the IC is the love of the institution. The love of the institution starts to replace the love of freedom, and the love of the Constitution, and the love of your fellow citizens. The institution slowly collectivizes all of them. If you can’t put the institution above all it will seek you out like a cancer to destroy you. Think about the floor speeches supporting McCarthy, almost all of them talked about McCarthy and how he was part of the institution. When we talk about the UniParty it is because these people are thralls to their institution, not your needs as a citizen they represent. Are they really mad Gaetz took out McCarthy? Please, these people will stab you as soon as smile at you. They are mad that he challenged and changed the dynamic of the institution, and it was not to their benefit or they themselves were too cowardly to do it. Same for Nunes. Same for Trump, he stepped all over every institution. The only people that might be working in your interests are the pariahs of the institutions.
To cleanse the rot you are going to need a long line of iron willed people from outside the institution. Like a tool as soon as they show signs of wear, they need to be replaced, because a worn out tool can become dangerous.
Terrific observations and assessment.
It needs to be President Trump as Speaker. Even Mike Huckabee argued for it and did it with passion.
You want change? President Trump as Speaker for two weeks?
Done
Trump interim, then Biggs as new Speaker. That’s my stand!
I love President Trump, but I don’t get a) how would he be named Speaker when no Democrat would vote for him, and the House is filled with RINOs, Never-Trumpers, and only a handful of true MAGA pro-Trump conservatives? Where are those votes going to magically come from?
And b) President Trump had a had time getting a Republican majority to work with him when he WAS president — the majority worked against him almost harder than the Dems did. When we have such a slim majority of Republicans in the House, mostly RINOs/globalists owned by special interests and still very few true conservatives, why would they work with on an America First agenda if he were the Speaker? What has changed?
All good points, linderella. Here’s my thinking. First, it’s temporary, only two weeks if I understand the interim position; even the NeverTrumpers might go with that since it’s such an in your face to the totalitarian, lawfare, dems. Second, the dems might think it’s an opportunity to berate and give it to DJT and hope he messes it up – and it’s possible he could! Last, I’m not sure on this but I think the Republicans get to pick the interim guy? If so, maybe the party would rally for once behind the clear front runner for POTUS?
It would sure be an IN YOUR FACE two weeks to the dems. Watch Mike Huckabee’s impassioned commentary on Hannity last night, he was great.
yep
The RINOs will not go on record voting against Trump. So, not to worry.
The new John Durham.
Think about it, President Trump as interim Speaker, two weeks, national stage, dignity at the podium, the media can’t ignore it, Speaker of the House of Representatives then President of the United States for the second time.
Historical!
Jordan? Scalise? Better off keeping McCarthy. These 2 are nothing but weak McCarthy clones. Someone to think about: Stephen Miller seemed receptive to the Speaker role. He certainly is not a lazy yes-man wimp, as are the others. He’s fiery, determined and smart.
Can you point me to where Stephen Miller said he was open to being Speaker?
I posted yesterday that he was my dream candidate after PDJT.
I agree Sundance.
The system………………..
Their system that they control and gives them their power………
Along with the ever printing of the dollar……..
The comprimised judiciary…………
IS FAILED, IS CORRUPT, IS WEAPONIZED AGAINST US………AND IT NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED…..the whole thing. Going after the people who use that system against us…is secondary!
And DJT told us this in 2016! Do you remember? What do you think is happening? First….that corrupt system needed to be exposed to the masses! Thats……the Great Awakening! Once We the People could see it….and know it’s real and not the conspiracy theory that was once believed it was, then what needed to be done….could be done because the people will be on board with it! Much of the system is controlled by the three letter agencies……and who has power over them? This is not about another 4 year election. This is a war. And a war is won through your military…..those in the military that swore an oath and will uphold that oath when the time is at hand……and it’s getting close. This has been….an operation…..and it’s about to escalate. It’s not about parties or politics….its about our Republic, our Constitution and our freedoms! And this was known and part of the Trump Presidency. Have you listened to him speak about the “PAUSE?”
jim jordan… “Et tu, Brute?”
I’m thinking maybe the MAGA purists are missing the opportunity here. Yes, Sundance is right, Jordan is a tool, but if the MAGA warriors held McCarthy accountable, will they all of a sudden just give the new tool a pass? We saw how much one brave man standing up to the RINO grifters can do. There is no way we get a true MAGA patriot in the speaker’s chair, yet.
This whole SoH motif strikes me as a sideshow. Notice how NO ONE has drawn attention to the fact that McCarthy has stated he is simply going to trail off into the sunset to enjoy retirement. Which, of course, means that he is no longer in the fight against the egregious oppressors, warmongers, woke mobs, etc., etc., he and the others claim are the problem. It was all a sham. As is the entire SoH chest beating.
The folks with the money. They are always left standing. NO ONE has an answer for that.
And apparently has taken over Pelosi’s newly vacated “hideaway”office. Wow, now that part is starting to make sense!
Draft Karri Lake as speaker.
Really like the leverage the Great 8 have created. There’s a reason the establishment is so angry. It’s my belief this 45 day Stop Gap was going to be renewed in November to get us into the Christmas/New Year Holiday season where they can sneak another OmniBus through in the dead of night. The Great 8 stopped that.
Now, without the Great8, no RINO can pass the Speaker vote (without democrat support). So, the Great8 can choose who they want, and just hold out until the Government is about to shut down essential services, which the RINO’s will never allow.
” touting his work on immigration and oversight issues”?

I fear that SD has hit the nail on the head concerning Jordan’s reticence actually to DO SOMETHING. The reference to the Ohio wrestling scandal certainly seemed to “cool” Jordan’s passion and exuberance. I, like SD, think that someone showed Jordan something that could/would cause him severe embarrassment or worse. IMO, he’s another John Roberts, owned due to a threat to expose something that he wants to remain deeply hidden. It really is sad that our system apparently has zero individuals that have any integrity.
You KNOW we have an absolute win when you see Brian Kilmeade have a hissy fit.
Absolutely bone-slappy amusing!
[Link was sent to me, as I am no longer an MSM watcher.]
Brian Kilmeade is pure EVIL
That wasn’t a spanking at all, because Burchett is unfailingly polite and gentlemanly.
A spanking would have been,
“I realize, Brian, that Fox News doesn’t care about the American people because you’re owned by a foreign family and you are now being run by the two liberal Murdoch sons and their radical Leftist wives, but I do care about the American people, and to continue governing through CRs when there is a two trillion dollar annual deficit and a 33 trillion dollar debt means hyper-inflation and national ruin. It means people taking a wheelbarrow of paper money to the store to buy a loaf of bread. That’s what Kevin McCarthy was leading us to, and that’s why I voted for a change of speakership. I’m sorry if that hurts your feelings . . . No, actually I am not sorry.”
Fully agree, David. I didn’t say ‘spanking’ in my assessment.
I am still gleeful, because when these POS on-the-take, narrative talking heads who KNOW they are selling their souls for $$$ and the wrong side of history, I quickly lose any forgiveness.
Never mistake my patience for kindness.
Sundance runs the risk of being so negative on everything and everyone that nothing gets accomplished being that way either. You only accomplish when you assess and adapt because that is the playing field you are on. The playing field can only change on ballot day and we have a history of reelecting mediocrity over and over again. Change the playing field or support the least bad behavior until then, but move forward!!
The truth has no agenda.
Some of us are tired of being lied to.
Some may prefer the sugarcoated, status quo, go along to get along.
I think we’re tired of sugar, the status quo has gotten into worse straits and going along to get along has always moved us closer to the administrative totalitarian state.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Deal with it.
If the Rino’s would not vote out a RINO, why do people think they would vote for DJT as speaker? Perhaps the RINO’s will work with the Dems and get someone the Dems really like……. back to business with Jefferies, behind the curtain, in control.
The RINO’s wouldn’t vote for PTrump.
That’s the thing.
The RINO’s would be exposed in a way that a significant number of the 38% not with Trump could not avoid seeing. No amount of Sunday Press, no amount of spin, could cover it.
If this gambit by Matt Gaetz (in removing McCarthy from the Speakership) showed anything, it was the Dems demonstrating just how impotent the Republicans really are. The R’s could not even save their own RINO.
What nominating PTrump for SotH would do (even in failing), would be to show ALL America there is but ONE UniParty. The only difference between R’s and D’s is which of money or power is given chief priority, and they vote to protect both.
Gaetz.
Good observations Sundance, although disheartening. Count Jordan among others that I was a fan of, until he was dragged into the tool shed and converted. “Six ways to Sunday” I believe the Dim goul from the Senate said.
So…there is NO WAY the House will elect ANY of the 8 who helped can the Cali Cuck. With Jordan and declaring, and some of the 8 already endorsing, it’s pretty clear who they will eventually coalesce around. Where does that leave US?
There is always a possibility.
I would love to send this to Jim Jordan and ask his staff for a response. What say you?
It’s a simple question… Of all the Republicans in the House and Senate who can be trusted to accept the Constitution as the rule of law and do everything to legislate within those laws. I feel like the expression ” now that were orgainized what hell do we do..” is rule of the day. We look to the pundits the answer but who to trust. Garage Bloggers? The only one I ever trusted was Rush, he stayed the course. And Now? Sundance for his insight and Levin for constitutional and legal opinions? and then reminded of https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/holopharmakon-saturday-may-27-2023…. I believed after the 2020 election the GOP should split and a new party formed, The patriot party. One, it separates the Rinos from the Patriots and second, the GOP will need us to quorum, and third the country will rot until American look for a better answer, The Patriot Party.
This article is getting a lot of sunlight on truth
Yes. The GOPe is committed to its own tenure and job security. Jim Jordan is a fully vested member of that group.
I don’t want a fight for the sake of fighting, I want policy changes and a different (not new) direction for our nation. That requires new leadership. Jordan, and his ilk, are not new leadership. We know who can provide that leadership, and wait for the opportunity to select them. Again. And see that they implement the changes and hopefully raise up successors.
Until the money is no longer available to Congress in any way significant will this endless parade of “the compromised” come to an end. And the only way the endless wheelbarrows of money gets withheld is by secession of the states. Anything else is wishful thinking and secession is only the beginning. Not optimistic.
Matt Gaetz is the obvious choice.
They keep showing the people, they are not going to change they are not going to give up their power and will be keeping that power at any cost!
So as the guy in the tank says, ‘It Will Get Worse’ at least until the Boom.
🙁
Jordan can’t be trusted to be speaker.
Not anymore.
Excellent and very timely article, Sundance! Thank you very much.
Treepers need to all get on the horn to our congress critters and say “no on Jim Jordan, yes on Donald Trump.”
Well, if the Speakership means that Jim Jordan will now wear a coat, I’m all in.
… so tired of fake casual … obama.
and zelenskyyyy
Nancy Mace. Rino’s are not going to let Jim Jordan to win anyway.
Yes, Jordan has pretty obviously been controlled opposition for some time now. But whichever RINO out of the 200 or so in the House becomes the next speaker, it won’t take away from what was accomplished here. For the first time in the history of the country a Speaker of the House was removed! That’s awesome. And, whether Gaetz is 100% MAGA or not (he sure looks like it lately), everyone is blaming MAGA. Or should I say, everyone is giving the credit to MAGA for getting rid of McCarthy. Let’s enjoy one of our few victories since they stole the 2020 election.
Everyone here has mentioned everyone as an alternative except Gaetz. We know where he stands. He says no to the speakership but who else. All the ones I can think of are Senators. Is it possible for a Senator to be named Speaker of the House. Holy Crap..wouldnt that be a super thing to have a Maga Senator as Speaker!! LOL. Anyone can be Speaker they say. How about Dan Bongino or that Miller dude that worked for Trump. Kash Patel!! He KNOWS where all the bodies are buried.
I want Matt Gaetz for speaker. He’s the only guy in the House who is the least bit impressive.
A wise man once said, “you only get to play the team you rode over in the bus with”.
Unfortunately we rode over on the short bus.
I’m Disappointed. I thought this was at very least mostly a Republican/Conservative site. I am shockingly upset that this article sounds like a corrupt Democrat wrote it. Am I having a hard day and reading the intent of this article wrong? Jim is
one of the hardest workers in the House. How disappointing that he is being trashed. If I am wrongly interpreting this forgive me, but I can’t be the only one.
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
You are in an abusive relationship with your leaders. You are being conned, hustled, turned out. It will not get better if you continue to enable and justify their lies, deceit and theft.
No they didn’t need that money they borrowed from you for groceries, it was for meth.
