After a lengthy and often combative GOP conference earlier today, Jim Jordan’s office has announced there will be a 3rd vote for House Speaker Friday at 10:00am.
“The House will vote Friday at 10 a.m. on a third speaker ballot, according to Jordan’s spokesman.” {link}
The UniParty Republicans had earlier floated an interim proposal to grant temporary House Speaker Patrick McHenry with additional authorities which would gain Democratic vote support. The concept was to get the House through a round of funding for Israel and Ukraine aid and avoiding a shutdown, until January. However, that effort fell short as the non UniParty Republicans would not agree to the plan.
Jordan spoke briefly about that issue following the conference meeting. WATCH (46 secs):
.
(Via Politico) – […] Republicans are split. Jordan, for now, isn’t ready to call it quits, and some of his backers are gearing up for trench warfare.
“I can tell you, nobody in our conference can get to 217 on two rounds, and three legislative days. So I think he deserves more time,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a Jordan ally, told reporters. “I’m in favor of trying. For Jordan, I would go at least another week.”
Yet his opponents insist there is no negotiation to be had that would result in him winning the gavel. They’ve already detailed death threats and intimidation efforts that they say have only hardened their anti-Jordan stance. (read more)
The House GOP Speaker’s race is a system of conniving and positioning for a cushy committee assignment, indulgences from the lobbyist control apparatus, office locations and Machiavellian influence for the best junkets and largest leadership PAC deposits. That’s the truth, the non-pretending truth about the system at work behind the GOPe House Speaker vote.
This internecine professionally Republican stuff has nothing to do with principle centered leadership, and everything to do with self-indulgences and personal affluence.
Here are the 22 professional Republicans who would prefer to see a Democrat House Speaker:
♦ Don Bacon: (202) 225-4155; @RepDonBacon (voted McCarthy) ♦ *Vern Buchanan: (202) 225-5015;@vern Buchanan (voted Donalds) ♦ Ken Buck: (202) 225-4676; @RepKenBuck (voted for Emmer) ♦ Lori Chavez-DeRemer: (202) 225-5711; @RepLCD (voted McCarthy) ♦ Anthony D’Esposito: (202) 225-5516; @anthonydespo (voted Zeldin) ♦ Mario Díaz-Balart: (202) 225-4211; @MarioDB (voted Scalise) ♦ Jake Ellzey: (202) 225-2002; @JakeEllzey (voted Garcia) ♦ *Drew Ferguson: (202) 225-5901; @RepDrewFerguson (voted Scalise) ♦ Andrew Garbarino: (202) 225-7896; @RepGarbarino (voted Zeldin) ♦ Carlos Giménez: (202) 225-2778; @RepCarlos (voted McCarthy) ♦ Tony Gonzales (TX): (202) 225-4511; @TonyGonzales4TX (voted Scalise) ♦ Kay Granger: (202) 225-5071; @RepKayGranger (voted Scalise) ♦ John James: (202) 225-4961; @repjames (voted for Moolenaar?) ♦ Mike Kelly (PA): (202) 225-5406; @MikeKellyPA (voted Bainer?) ♦ Jen Kiggans: (202) 225-4215; @JenKiggans (McCarthy) ♦ Nick LaLota: (202) 225-3826; @nicklalota (voted Zeldin) ♦ Mike Lawler: (202) 225-6506; @lawler4ny (voted McCarthy ) ♦ *Marianette Miller-Meeks: (202) 225-6576; @RepMMM (voted Grainger) ♦ John Rutherford: (202) 225-2501; @RepRutherfordFL (voted Scalise) ♦ Mike Simpson: (202) 225-5531; @CongMikeSimpson (voted Scalise) ♦ Steve Womack: (202) 225-4301; @rep_stevewomack (voted Scalise).
Does someone have to be a Republican to make a threatening phone call? Or, is their real wish to be in the minority where you simply verbally protest, collect a check and attend dinner parties?
I smell a Jussie Smollet type hoax here.
Very good
“…detailed death threats…” are standard democrat tactics; if that doesn’t tell you who these “republicans” are, nothing will. But, they added “intimidation,” too, they’re more democrat than the democrats are.
That is not possible for them. But, if they can’t get the cushy Committee assignments they want, they will still have the option of being turncoat Democraps later on. Most politicians just want to be on the winning side and don’t care what else is involved in getting there. They are exposing themselves as typical politicians, and the Democrats can do that out in the open without being held accountable for anything. That is the part of using Demcommie tactics that they really seek.
IMHO, only the left and the Dems indulge in over the top and extreme rhetoric. I would submit to you the evidence of the past 8 years for how the left has reacted to the right; Judge Kavanaugh is a prime example.
All of the above!
self-indulgences and personal affluence………………………..BINGO !!!! Today I was reminded of something Rush Limbaugh said years ago. At the heart of the Republican party there is a group that just wants to be in DC to ride in limos and go to parties. They care nothing about the voters and are there to serve themselves.
I remember him saying that and he’s 100% correct….
Mike Regan, Pa rep turned senator is this guy. Total failure and disappointment. Self serving.
Thom Tillis of NC too.
A very large group…
Sounds like Vatican Politics. Corrupt, evil vipers.
“At the heart of the Republican party there is a group…”
Rush made a minor error here. The republican party in general fits the mold with a very small group dedicated to America. And I do mean very small.
I so hate our government.
The most corrupt country on EARTH most wont beleive it..
I believe it.
It has been put on display for the whole world to see.
And we still call ourselves a democracy… LOL.
Only those who wish to fundamentaly change the USA call it a democracy.
some of us still believe we are ….. CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC !!!!!!!!
The Bible talks about the evil city “Babylon.” I believe it will be revealed that our country – D.C. – is Babylon.
I have often wondered does DC sit on seven hills like Rome? Or are the seven hills the seven pillars of society they are working hard to disintegrate.
If the polling is to be believed, the regime only has the support of 40% of the country in the next election.
THAT much? Wouldn’t think it was that high!
Never underestimate the siren song of “free stuff”.
The Government Party is not small. It’s just in the minority.
You’re hatred is misplaced. Hate the elected scumbags who run the government. If they would remain within the bounds of the Constitution, the government would be good.
That’s like, hate the ink, not the pen.
Bureaucracy has always been an existential threat to the people of the USA, and it would not be if government did not foster it.
Tear it down
Aren’t the people what makes up the government? A bag of apples isn’t rotten unless the apples are. All that is left is to find, if there is one or more, apples that aren’t completely rotten and try to save the usable parts. From this I concur Jordan can be of use to us.
With very few exceptions, and that’s being generous, they’re all on the same team, so does it really matter if the congress critter has an R or D next to their name? It seems to me that our fbi,cia, shadow gestapo etal have dirt on every individual and can coerce/intimidate any obstinate minded individual who won’t play along. I only have faith in God.
Exactly, they will all vote to send billions to Ukraine and billions to other countries.
Congress: Failure is the only option.
Real Americans: Screwed by government every day and every way.
When will we stop putting up with this crap?
Start with yourselves and work up through local, county then state. Secession….yourselves, local, county, then state.
When’s the last time a governor said told the feds to eff off? When has a state refused fed money? When has a state not send tax revenue to the feds?
Secession can happen peacefully….it starts with us. We don’t need them. We do the work, make the machines, grow the food, raise and process the livestock, make the clothing, carpets and all sorts of widgets. We educate and raise our own and we can do it on our own. Why are we in this dysfunctional relationship with people, government and states that hate our guts? Why are we shipping them the fruits of our labour? We have all of the resources and they have Uber….instead of trading with them, we can trade with countries that actually want a rela with us, without all of the federal interference. Most every red state has a strong workforce and abundant resources they can use to trade with each other and the rest of the world.
Tell DC, NYC, Chicago, LA and the rest of yankeedom to fend for themselves and we can live our lives in peace!
Rant over.

I would add to that, join local groups (county GOP, local gun rights groups, etc.) and make sure to invite your Sheriff to your meetings. Buy a book or two of “Consent by the Governed” and deliver it in person to the Sheriff and have a conversation with him about HOW the federal government is out of control and violating the Constitution.
Make sure you know YOUR rights and make sure he knows you know them.
You have to try, that’S for sure.
It is best to be aware of the possibility of becoming a targeted individual.
I realize that our MAGA members are just that anyway.
Just make sure that
you have friends or relatives going with you
so you are not
a “loner” to be isolated.
Need to have a Galt Sabbatical
It’s embarrassing to watch, but this kind of open warfare is necessary. I’m not mad at Gaetz. Americans need to see who’s with them and against them, at least those who can’t be influenced to change their votes. Best of all, if they can’t legislate, they can’t spend money.
Gaetz did us all a favor by exposing the pigs feeding at the DC trough…
FallRINOs…
FDC…
FJB
I have learned a lot about “parliamentary moves” from Matt Gaetz. This has been a great education for me, and I appreciate him. I like in OK, but I’m sending a donation and a thank you to his campaign.
Gaetz is actually enjoying all this. I see the Glee in his eyes.
And he’s good at it.
Yes, if this stasis is keeping hard-earned US tax dollars from being doled out like a piggy bank to other countries requesting BILLIONS, then it’s a good thing. It seems like that’s the one thing both parties are happy to do, though.
I’m still amazed at the number of R voters that actually claim to be fully represented by the party. As it becomes more clear that most of the 22 holdouts are fully vetted DC Uniparty vultures, the more the UIs dig in their heels. I can honestly say that I don’t understand how some of them even function on a daily basis. It must hurt to do the mental gymnastics necessary to avoid seeing the truth. The Era of Pretending continues. I appreciate coming here and basking in the disinfecting sunlight. Wolverines Unite!!!
I don;t see a problem here, the longer this goes on the better.
This is like a mini government shutdown without all the closures.
Is it really a bad thing they can;t give away all our money?
Make crazy policies, put all thier pet projects in bills?
What is the downside?
That’s probably the whole big deal that nothing is getting done, like passing spending money. Gaetz made a comment that the lobbyists and money interests are stopped. It is a good thing. Optics of chaos is what the big deal is.
CONgress critters and their globalist masters don’t want us to see how much better off the free world is when they’re NOT funding WWIII with our tax dollars!
Very true, Judith!!
probably the best part is the longer this goes on, the more transparent their activities become. What we had heard or thought we knew before this, we are now seeing play out in real time. I love it.
The uniparty holdouts function just like democrats. It’s all emotion, corruption, and only concern for their big money donors. The only reason these people will change their vote is that they will simply get tired of the attention because they can’t party with the uniparty when everyone is watching. Even the donors will get tired of it and eventually tell these RINO’s to vote Jordan just to avoid bringing attention to them.
Sad.
Exactly! That’s what I’ve been saying. They can’t do any damage if they can’t pass anything. I would rather pay them to do absolutely nothing than to pass their, “oh so important, it’s life or death,” bills. I want a “do nothing” congress. I don’t see the country falling apart because we have no speaker. Do you?
What good has the “speaker” done for us anyway?
Sundance says, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
This is one of the
positive sides of
this event.
The light reveals the
pests eating away at our Republic.
This is just one of the problems, they now don’t even pretend to try to do there jobs.

Andy Biggs has a 100% conservative rating. Maybe they can sneak him in. If not, Massie might be working behind the scenes. His statement for JJ left room for doubt.

I read that with interest and the article put into words concepts I have been harboring since I was a child about the Civil War and the Indian Wars. I had not tied those “gut” feelings to events in the last century, but had started tying them to what is going on now and where my cynicism/distrust of all things governmental comes from.
I’m sure there are those that would dispute the concepts presented. It would be immensely interesting to listen to such discussions.
Thank you for posting this.
I would not put it past Democrat dirty tricksters to be making the threats themselves.
I have always thought that, particularly with the Progressives being at fault though because they all act like children.
Or they are just lying about getting death threats, I personally believe they are just lying cause ya know it’s what they do do do!!!!!
Call the bluff. Calls, texts, tweets, letters to members of congress are easily traced to individuals, unless letters are sent anonymously. Expose and prosecute the persons making the death threats. Wouldn’t it be interestingly coincidental if all the alleged threats were made via untraceable, anonymous letters?
Sure seemed orchestrated for maximum leverage to justify the treachery of the 22.
“ Yet his opponents insist there is no negotiation to be had that would result in him winning the gavel. They’ve already detailed death threats and intimidation efforts that they say have only hardened their anti-Jordan stance. ‘
This makes me nervous, Treepers. This feels like it could result in some kind of Jan 6 lie and false charges against Jordan supporters. Do not give your real name or address when they ask you ( if you’re calling ) and use a VPN if you’re emailing.
They’re already lying by mounting a coordinated statement about alleged “ threats and intimidation “ and we know we can’t trust them.
Stay safe.
it’s just them yelling their hair is on fire…Sundance showed us yesterday that they are angry that they ARE hearing from their constituents!
I write an email on the official Tom Cole (R-OK) government email site so I can make sure I’m clear with my words, that I am non-threatening but clear and concise (which I cannot do on a voice call – I get worked up and don’t say everything I want), and I send it with my name, address, email and telephone number. That way it’s in writing, easy to defend and I say everything I wanted to say clearly.
You’re missing the point, with all due respect.
They’re not to be trusted.
There are live videos of J6 attendees doing nothing wrong and they’ve been in jail for almost a thousand days.
I don’t trust any of these monsters one bit. Be careful.
Very telling if accurate…
“Meet Vern Buchanan.
He’s one of the RINOs keeping Jordan from winning the Speakership.
Vern, an 8-term member of Permanent Washington, was recorded bowling and dancing at the White House last night.”

FROM WIKI__With a net worth of $157.2 million, Buchanan is the 6th-wealthiest member of Congress. He received over $2.3 million in forgiven PPP loans.
Congressman Rutherford Jacksonville, FL Office: (904) 831-5205
A Democrat just won the Mayors office there.
Not encouraging. Scalise and other RINO holdouts have been linked to a fake donation scheme that uses registered voters who are unaware to send multiple donations to their campaigns as well as FTX money. A few have even been invited to the White House. But aside from the failure to elect Jordan as speaker another key achievement of these RINOs has been the suspension of House hearings on the Biden corruption inquiry. These scumbags are just another clique of grifters looking to see what they can take from American taxpayers.
Sounds vaguely familiar to that Project Veritas video.
Are you saying FTX –the fraud scheme by SBF — was sending money to BOTH parties. Seems that might be the true uniparty. Hmm…
13 of them were on the take from FTX and also took money from donor mule program. Scalise was in on it… Per Gateway Pundit.
Along with many others…but the focus, as you have done, should be on the 20. Expose them all…put the sun light right over them.
make them famous…post it everywhere you can on social media and even send it to them with clear verbiage, non-threatening and let them know they are not representing you.
The sunlight makes them cringe

EXCLUSIVE: 13 of 22 RINO Holdouts Derailing Jim Jordan Are Connected to FTX and Voter Mule Donations.CONGRESSMAN STEVE SCALISE (R-LA), WHO IS UNDERMINING JIM JORDAN FOR HOUSE SPEAKER, TOOK MONEY FROM SAM BANKMAN-FRIED’S ILLEGAL FTX CAMPAIGN FINANCE OPERATION, AS DID 13 OF THE 22 RINO HOLDOUTS THIS IS HUGE news!
Whoa. So there is a uniparty and its supported by SBF and his parents. Maybe the $60 BILLION of hard-earned US tax money is to fund the missing FTX dollars? Be sure and tell your rep no new funding for foreign wars until domestic issues are taken care of.
ENTRIES FROM FEC RECORD FOR DONATIONS MADE BY RYAN SALAME, FTX CO-CEO
Direct, illegal donations from criminals like Ryan Salame and his co-conspirators are just the tip of the iceberg. It is suspected that FTX, and entities like it, are laundering possibly billions of dollars to politicians and causes all over the country through fraudulent campaign donor mules.
Awesome! Publish it far and wide, on social media and in the local papers if necessary!
Sunlight!
It’s time to make bribery illegal again !
Steve Scalise is the Bill Cassidy of Haley Barbours
Not defending the corruptopubs but $2900 is chicken feed. Did not know a corrupt rino could be bought for such a small price.
Both sides are guilty
As previously uncovered by The Gateway Pundit and the O’Keefe Media Group, donor mules are people whose identities are being used without their knowledge to launder large amounts of cash into campaign coffers of politicians. These fraudulent donations make it appear that these politicians have significant support from real people, when they are really being funded illegally by special interests. The donations are typically small, but frequent. The small amounts don’t arouse as much suspicion as large donations, but the total amount of cash from single individuals can add up to tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars. Follow-up investigations with the people whose identities are being stolen often reveal that they are average Americans who are really donating only small amounts to one or two candidates, but they are being credited with massive numbers of donations in the Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.
The total amounts for most of these mules are greater than these individuals bring home on a yearly basis. Some it’s greater than two years of salary. And a lot of the mules are on government programs. O’Keefe has found some of the mules and was able to get them to go on the record.
The idiot Dem from GA, Warnock, is a big recipient of “mule” money.
Fraud so evident that the FIB just cant’ see it.
Everyone should do a search in their zip code and take a look. I found people that claim to be unemployed, made thousands of donations over a 2 year period with strange amounts multiple times a day like .29 or 5.75, or 2.00. Who does that? Not real people!
https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?two_year_transaction_period=2022&min_date=01%2F01%2F2021&max_date=12%2F31%2F2022
And when you’re searching, remember to look for your own (and your spouses) name to see if your identity has been hijacked.
I had checked my zip code and saw suspicious activity.
The odd cents entries are where ActBlue or Winred probably applied a fee. I wonder if those are the only actual donations.
Trump/Gaetz/2024
Two heroic men willing to serve.
May God Bless them.
Nancy’s 235 member Uniparty Caucus will ensure that only a proxy for her gets the gavel.
Good. Lets have the RINOs come right out and vote for a Democrat. That ought to destroy the Republican Party once and for all. If you may as well be voting for a Democrat when you vote for a Republican then what’s the point of voting for the Republican? Burn the GOP to the ground.
I’d like to see how McCarthy “spread the wealth” among these Rinos that are beholding to him.
Jim Jordan get some intel on these clowns and see if their point of view might change.
Soooo…
from the first to the second round FL votes among the 20 went up (3 to 4). FL now 20% of vote.
from the first to the second round NY votes remained at 20% of the vote.
from the first to the second round TX votes remained at 15% (3) of the vote.
55% right there from three states.
These caucuses always coordinate in state and among.
What’s going on? Especially in FL.
The other issue is these cretins need to be primaried and the time frame for taking these professional hangers on grows shorter with each passing day. The grass roots of the state parties need to stand up and be seen and heard.
I hear you and fully support. However, in NC, a majority general assembly has turned out to be worse than dc. They took dc playbook and notched it up 2 or 3 times. They just can’t help themselves. They are liar, deceivers, crooked and thieves. Helped dem gov push medicare and green energy. Mind you, a veto proof r general assembly did that…….no lie.. Read Daily Haymaker website from NC.
On Gateway Pundit, I guess Jake Tapper played the voicemail left to a Congressperson’s wife, claiming it was a death threat, using this as an excuse for not voting for Jordan. These representatives are a bunch of Pearl clutchers, I tell ya. Glenn Beck was saying yesterday how he recieves these voicemails all the time like everyday. He says he’s use to it. These people need to start representing their people, not their money interests.
And, to be honest, I don’t care that people are threatening them. These Reps don’t care that we are threatened by the open border policy, lack of prosecuting bad guys, and many other areas these cretins are benefiting….then I don’t care they are being threatened. Maybe they should remember who they work for….the people. Not corporations.
You nailed they work against
not us no for us……Uni party SOBs all of them…..
So….Kevin screams/yells at Gaetz to sit down and shut up!!!!
WHEN did Kevin EVER scream/yell, get mad and confront a DEMOCRAT???????????
And then we are told, one Rep lunged at Gaetz!!!
Have we ever heard THIS particular rep LUNGING at a Democrat??????????
AMAZING, how DAMN MAD and irritate and FIGHTING the r’s can do to other r’s, but roll over and kowtow and cower to the dems……
I HATE republicans.
And I don’t believe it’s any coincidence I’m reading on msg boards more and more are leaving r party for unaffiliated….
R’s don’t give one rip…it’s all about the almighty $$$$…..they aren’t reps, they aren’t servants, they are CROOKED ASS thieves, liars, deceivers.
Because there is no R o r D party, there is only one Uniparty. Those who speak out on either side (not really many on the Dem side) are those who don’t align with the Uniparty. These fools continue to fool the rubes by using the two party rhetoric.
My son told me the other day he never believed the uniparty stuff before
he thought it was nonsense, till he saw all this going on..
Yes, and those uniparty members vote to send billions of your hard-earned tax dollars to other countries like it’s found money. Keep your money in your community.
Big Gay Scream
The only reason to stay registered as a Republican is to primary out these losers. The problem is that the next one turns out just as bad as the one you just got rid of. We need to call an exterminator. Paging Donald Trump!
Join your local republican district, get on the candidate vetting and or officer nominating committees, become a delegate, and you can have a say who gets endorsed. There are AF people everywhere, you just need to find them and build the team.
At this point, it’s all kabuki theatre, a scam, by design….
Don’t believe any of it..
It’s Hollywood, scripted and played out…WITH OUR TAX $$$.
And I go to work today SO I CAN FUND WARS……………….
Watch how quick McHenry and congress FUNDS Ukraine…….
And if you want the skippy on McHenry, read Daily Haymaker site in NC…You’ll find out real quick McH is just another line of Mc’s….(don’t know what it is about the Mc’s…but THEY ARE TOXIC). McConnell, McCarthy…
mchenry IS A FRAUD and is WORSE than any dem that would hold that slot….
You forgot McCain….albeit he’s dead….his one eyed crony is still running amok.
Exactly. Without even a vote for a war across the globe, we are somehow funding it.
Someone with a camera should start asking the 13 Rep holdouts about their “mule donations”, and connections to FTX donations as well, ( per TGP), time to get salty, this frosty business is going no where.
Squirm comes to mind, Scalise
Did you see this:
I am surprised that Alphabet Inc has allowed this to remain in their system.
It’s a documentary entitled, “The Great Awakening.” It was produced by a former Bernie Bro out in California. Footage in the intro comes from a WEF meeting in Davos. Schwab is in his costume. One of the WEF speakers says, (paraphrase), “All that stuff about a God above the clouds, people having souls and freewill, all that is over. We’ve got our own clouds now, google, amazon, microsoft, facebook. Those are the gods in our cloud.”
Altogether, it’s one of the best presentations of what we are up against I’ve seen. G. Edward Griffin is one of the main presenters. He is the man who wrote “The Creature From Jekyll Island” (about the formation of the U.S. Fed Banking System). Presenting also, are people who escaped Chairman Mao’s slaughter. It’s about an hour.
This doc shows, with brutal clarity, where Chuck Schumer, the Chicago Communist Cartel and the Communist Democrats are leading us: to ruin and death.
The big thing we need to worry about is the RINOs giving power to the dems. It’s exactly what’s been happening in TX. The Rats in leadership conference with the Dems and overcome all the conservative values and legislation. It’s happening elsewhere as well, maybe Tennessee or Georgia. I don’t remember.
NC is another state that has weak, RINOs-in charge. Veto proof general assembly and gave dem NC gov a medicade expansion and green energy bill…..you tell me, those sound like CONSERVATIVE CAUSES???
Well, then there will be no more pretending will there? I sure as hell won’t bother to vote Republican again if that happens, will you? Will anyone?
They won’t “give” it to democrats, they will sell out.
Then work to see the Dade Phelan RINO scum un-elected. We have a MAGA Republican Party Chair in Texas, and he is doing what he can to see that traitor scum like Phelan are gone from power.
Seek out who is on the list of those who voted to indict Ken Paxton, and donate to their Primary opponents. Get others to vote this March to rid ourselves of the traitor RINOs in Texas.
I am proud to report that after many calls and emails to Tom Cole (R-OK), Mr. Cole is the one who stood up and nominated Jim Jordan.
I wrote him a nice “thank you” and reiterated that there should be no approval of funds for Ukraine. We’ll see where he goes with that. He did acknowledge in his weekly “newsletter” that the Southern border is of critical importance, so that’s 2 wins for Mr. Cole.
I would highly recommend that everyone write a succinct email to your legislators and tell them at least weekly what your priorities are and why they matter and keep it up! Mr. Cole just 2 weeks ago sent me a letter on HIS stance that was in direct opposition to mine (made me furious I must admit, since I don’t care about his stance), but I see him now coming around on some things.
Treat them like babies; scold them when they are wrong and make sure they understand why, and praise them when they do good (but don’t mix the two together, they are easily confused and distracted).
Oh, and I forgot the most important part! I called Mr. Cole out on every social media platform that I have access to, and made sure his name was connected to his stance on those posts. If he was mentioned in CTH, I posted that blog with a comment EVERY time and in every place.
Make them famous for their views. Use their own words and use their own position.
well im losing respect for JJ, the vote will not change they have flat out told him NO. You cannot tell me there is no one else? Cant the put Scalise back in the hat? Anyone? Fool around and let Jeffries win, Republicans better find another job.
You should be losing respect for Scalise, you got it the other way around. And McCarthy is relishing this chaos so he continue to hammer Matt Gaetz. He’s got a personal vendetta against MG. KM called his bluff and KM lost.
Steve Scalise is the center of this anti JJ cabal. He got donations from the FTX criminal. ALONG WITH 13 OTHERS.
I hope that Jim Jordan be next speaker of House,
vote for Jim Jordan Rino Republicans,
MAGA. Jordan is weak…
Yes, but there’s not any realistic choices that are any better and most are far worse.
What a scumbag.
A short description of the links purpose/ intent would be nice, I for one will not click on such a post.
“The concept was to get the House through a round of funding for Israel and Ukraine aid”
There should be no funding for any foreign country until our border is secured.
A short description of the links purpose/ intent would be nice, I for one will not click on such a post.
From the ashes of all the DC fraud and corruption, a new party must emerge called the Patriot or American Party that truly focuses on MAGA principles, our Constitution, the rule of law and the citizens of this great Republic.
In the end, what we are seeing is a Republican Party that is as if not more dangerous to this country than the leftists because in the end they have sold out the citizens of this country for their own personal greed and power.
It is now obvious for even the average person to see the pure corruption and evil that exists in DC.
Has the useless Ronna McDaniels even commented on the Speaker vote? I don’t even see people on X asking her to comment, thereby showing how everyone knows how useless she is. She should be fired immediately for not stepping up and working to do what 90% of House Republicans want – Jordan as Speaker.
Not a peep out of this freaking ass. And Trump should be the very one to ask for her resignation.
The longer Congress is crippled the better off we are
Representative Pete Stauber, MN-08?
Last week my Representative, Mike Rogers AL, said nothing would make him vote for Jim Jordan and it was time to work with Democrats to elect a Speaker.
Well, Alabamians lit up his local office phones, his email, local political talk shows, and the state Republican party office. There was a Come to Jesus meeting and Mike Rogers changed his tune.
Don’t just contact the Representative. Call local political talk shows, state party officials, any Republicans in state office. Let everyone on the gravy train know, they work for you and you are fed up with politics as usual.
Hopefully this will stall further money going to either Ukraine or Israel…86% of Israelis think that Israel started this war, and not a dime should be sent there until Bibi is gone…As to the child and organ traffickers in the Ukraine, the sooner they’re gone, the better
“…86% of Israelis think that Israel started this war, and not a dime should be sent there until Bibi is gone…”

So in order to get the job, you got to promise not to do the job as you want but what everyone else does. Put people in positions you know will not do what the voters want, and make sure money flows to any wars started by the present group of house sitters. Oh and make sure anyone identified with three letters are ignored if doing wrong.
Number 14 just showed up!
GWP-WATCH: Josh Hawley Leaves Joe Biden’s “$400 Billion Man” Speechless and Looking Like a Deer in Headlights After Exposing Potential Pay-to-Play Scheme During Senate Hearing
by Cullen Linebarger Oct. 19, 2023
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) performed a major service for America after exposing a potential pay-to-play scheme involving Joe Biden’s “$400 billion Man” during a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing Thursday.
when this freak show end ???
Well, it aint gonna happen today. I hope all the Rescumlicans who vote against jordan are turfed out next term.
We are losing our country.
Just called my Congresswoman from Oregon. Thanks for the info & the telephone number. I can’t believe she voted for McCarthy. And I thought she wanted to be a reformer! Boy, it doesn’t take long to see who is for the status quo.
If they “fight like cats” to determine who gets to be Speaker, and if such officers in both the House and Senate are now “always fearful for their jobs,” then THAT, to me, is what our Founders always intended. It took 230-odd years to finally figure that out.
I think Jim would be an excellent choice. But what I want to see going forward IS “choosing.” McCarthy was pre-ordained, and the initial nominee to replace him was his also-preordained “carbon copy.” Let there instead be serious competition, and no job security. From now on, in both Chambers.
Here is what I want to be the New Normal in both the House and Senate: “Speakership is a High Honor that can be bestowed upon you by your colleagues. But, you must fight hard to win it. And, you go into the position knowing that it can be taken away from you at any time.” For any reason, or for no reason at all. You have to fight to keep your seat. THAT is how “a Legislature” is supposed to be! Let the games begin. Worthy candidates will relish the competition.
