As we rightly stop the cycle of Battered Conservative Syndrome, here’s a concrete reality we can all understand easily.
If the people who are weaponizing government really held any concern about the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government holding them accountable, they would not be expanding their weaponization operations.
The White House controls the actions of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), through cabinet appointments and leadership staff. Each of these agencies are expanding their domestic targeting operations, not reducing them.
That expanded targeting is happening simultaneously with the House Subcommittee on Weaponization in place, presumably an oversight body. That reality tells us all we need to know about the intentions of the congressional subcommittee and the perspective of the government agencies toward accountability; there simply isn’t any.
The DC construct of that subcommittee is a Potemkin village, a false front, intended to give the illusion of something that is factually non-existent. That’s the bitter reality of the situation, and feel free to confront any representative of DC with that reality. It is a stark, demonstrable and self-evident reality.
There’s only one way that dynamic is going to change, and that can only come from the introduction of something that currently does not exist.
Donald J Trump – “I am running for President, have a 62 Point lead over Republicans, and am up on Crooked Joe Biden, despite the Democrat Party’s massive Law-fare, Weaponization, and Election Interference efforts, by 4 to 11 Points, but will do whatever is necessary to help with the Speaker of the House selection process, short term, until the final selection of a GREAT REPUBLICAN SPEAKER is made – A Speaker who will help a new, but highly experienced President, ME, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” [SOURCE]

On the optimistic side of that pill swallowing, federalism is working (somewhat) as a bulwark against the corrupt institutions. The state of Missouri has won key victories against the DC surveillance state with 5th Circuit Court rulings blocking the Biden administration from censoring the thoughts and speech of American citizens.
Additionally, in a key addition to the appellate court ruling, the 5th circuit has expanded their injunction to now cover CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. [SEE RULING HERE]
The court has stated that CISA “shall take no actions, formal or informal, directly or indirectly, to coerce or significantly encourage social-media companies to remove, delete, suppress, or reduce, including through altering their algorithms, posted social-media content containing protected free speech.”
.
The professionally Republican DC effort to stop the weaponization of government has been yet another exhibition in abject failure.
Personally, I believe that failure is a feature, not a flaw.
Perhaps President Trump meeting with Republican leadership on Tuesday can introduce something new that changes the dynamic. However, given the nature of how professionally Republican politicians like Jim Jordan operate in government, as one wing of a UniParty effort, I wouldn’t count on it.
Jim Jordan is the Chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government.
Low score win
If Trump somehow becomes Speaker of the House, then he is in the Line of a succession to be POTUS, if and when the POTUS and Vice-POTUS should be unable to continue. That means he would be POTUS again. But he is in the campaign to be elected POTUS. I remember from school, a POTUS a an only serve 2 terms; not 3. So if he is Speaker and both Biden and Harris resign, then Trump becomes POTUS and serves out their term, even if it was for a week or so.
I’m guessing that having been POTUS twice, regardless of circumstances, he would be ineligible to become POTUS a third time, even if he won the election by unanimous vote.
IF I AM RIGHT, THEN YOU KNOW THE DEMOCRATS WOULD BE ALL IN FOR THIS TO PLAY OUT AND BE RID OF TRUMP BY ELECTING HIM!
1000 down votes.
Even Google knows more.
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once,” the amendment read.
So a President can serve for two and a half terms, minus a day on the half, more or less. Not a problem or a possibility here. But dreams can make life seem better, huh?
Well, there goes that. Other sources saying it too.
Hannity sources – Trump to endorse Jim Jordan for speaker
Video:
https://t.me/realKarliBonne/199008
Trump has endorsed Rep. Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House, according to @RepTroyNehls
Wouldn’t the Speaker be very important during certification of the electoral count?
The only reason I can think of for Trump to endorse Jordan is to have an ally at such a time.
Although from what SD has pointed out, I’m not sure he’d be a reliable ally.
It looks like the Speaker’s race is shaping up to be between @Jim_Jordan
—the leader of the Freedom Caucus—and Steve Scalise—the current House Majority Leader.
Jordan has received the endorsement of @MattGaetz

Trust nothing. As Sundance said, theatre runs high. “Don’t throw me in that briar patch!!”
With all the corrupt-o-crats in DC that despise Trump, why all of a sudden should any of them care who he would prefer as Speaker?
So now President Trump is backing Rep. Jordan for the House Speaker. I love Big Don but I am really, really, leery about his picks. I wonder if he asks for advice or if he just wings it? Phew!
Who does he have to choose from? Just like “his” people of his first administration……most turned out to be Uniparty scum because that’s DC.
Jordan talks a great game. Somehow, it never gets further than talks. Maybe that could change.
He’s like Trey Gowdy. Verbally demolished Hillary Clinton on Benghazi in the hearings, but nothing ever came of it. No firings, no arrests, heck, did we even go after the guy who masterminded the attack?
Breitbart is reporting that President Trump will endorse Jim Jordan for Speaker, just saying.

Let us hope clearer heads prevail other wise we have gained absolutely nothing canning McCarthy.
We all love Trump, but he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know and is making more bad calls by not talking to the right people.
Well grab that bug out bag and head for bug out site.
Jim Jordan sure talks a lot of smack but is more like Trey Gowdy…. all talk and that’s all.
I have hesitated on giving my opinion on Jim Jordan until I had more time to digest the facts SD outlines here and consider the sincerity (or not) of Jordan.
Now I see President Trump is endorsing him for speaker. Well, he endorsed McCarthy so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
I always liked Jordan and although I wish he were doing more to hold people accountable, I appreciate that he has at least been shedding sunlight on the weaponization.
As for the institutions not being afraid of him, I am not surprised. The steal of 2020 and all that has happened since has emboldened them. They do not fear us.
There is not one honest actor in DC.
BURN IT DOWN
#MAGAPARTY
Jim won’t change anything except the amount of hot air coming out. Steve S. Will be a Louisiana version of Kevin McCarthy.
Kevin Hern wouldn’t be the same old meat bags and can’t be worse than the current 2 options.
