The Big Ugly battle over control of the Republican Party in Congress was always going to be big and ugly. We are witnessing the professional Republican apparatus fight hard to retain the UniParty business model that affords them all the affluence and indulgence they are accustomed to.
By now we well understand the nature of the DC political system as a business model. Factually, that’s why congressional candidates spend millions to take a job earning a few hundred thousand. The business of DC political life is filled with background payments to politicians, family and friends. The business of DC politics provides a life of affluence that is disconnected from most understanding.
Jim Jordan lost his third effort to secure the House Speaker role in a floor vote earlier today. Following the floor vote, the Republican Caucus held a closed-door meeting and another secret ballot to determine if Jordan should continue. When they didn’t have to put their names in front of the public for scrutiny, 122 professional members of the Republican Party voted against Jordan, with only 86 votes in support of Jordan continuing. Jim Jordan from Ohio is done.
Within the voting and the turmoil, we see the axiom bell ring true. Democrats want power, Republicans want money. Democrats use money to get power, Republicans use power to get money. Democrat donors support ideology. Republican politicians chase donor money. This is the essential difference in the two wings of the UniParty apparatus.
♦ What becomes visible…. Threaten the power of Democrats, and you receive the weaponization of government. Threaten the money of Republicans, and you get this Big Ugly outcome. That’s what we are witnessing.
On the positive side, with each passing example more American voters are starting to understand the nature of the UniParty apparatus. Within this painful understanding you find the reason why support for Donald J. Trump grows. Trump threatens the Democrat power structure; so, they weaponize the full weight of government against him (Main Justice, FBI, IC, FISA, the works). However, Trump also threatens the Republican structure of affluence; so, we see them step aside and willfully watch the weaponization of government against their common enemy. That’s also what we are witnessing.
WASHINGTON DC – In a shocking turn, Jim Jordan on Friday lost an internal GOP vote that was intended to show confidence in him remaining as his party’s speaker designee.
The Ohio Republican is now no longer his party’s pick to lead the House, a demise sealed by a GOP secret ballot just after his third failed floor vote as a speaker hopeful.
It was an unexpectedly fast end to the Ohio conservative’s candidacy to lead the chaos-ridden Republican conference — and a sign that the flailing party is fed up on its 17th day without a speaker. Lawmakers now plan to leave Washington for the weekend as the next round of ambitious Republicans decide whether to mount their own speaker bids.
But most Republicans acknowledge that even with new faces to consider, they still have no clear path to uniting their splintered conference. They have already rejected two speaker candidates — Jordan and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise — as well as former Speaker Kevin McCarthy during this month alone.
McCarthy gave voice to a sentiment that’s growing within the GOP: The party’s inability to run the half of Congress that it narrowly won doesn’t bode well for its broader future.
“I’m concerned about where we go from here,” said McCarthy, who had been backing Jordan. “It’s astonishing to me, and we are in a very bad position as a party.”
Jordan’s loss of the speaker nod from his party came as something of a surprise, since he had sought the internal vote with allies preparing to cite it as a show of continued support for his candidacy. Instead, the secret ballot revealed that while Jordan’s public opposition never topped 25 votes, scores more House Republicans wanted to see him out of the race.
[…] In all, 122 Republicans voted to boot Jordan as their party’s nominee, while 86 said he should remain their choice, according to two people familiar with the private discussions. Five members voted present. (read more)
Wall Street, the multinational corporations, the billionaire donors, the people who control the ‘illusion of choice’ mechanisms within the Republican Party apparatus, are all smiling. Meanwhile, Main Street USA is once again furious. But remember, the Wall Street group just doesn’t care. As long as they retain full control over the puppets in DC, including at least 122 Republicans in the House, the multinationals are happy.
The Big Ugly battle continues.
It’s a BIG CLUB, and we ain’t in it…. YET!
A very well articulated article in plain english to what we’re up against in this country and probably most countries.
Here’s what a RINO/DeSantis supporter responded when I posted part of this:
“Uniparty” is Russian agitprop to split the conservative voice in America. Gaetz is a useful idiot.
If the Russians are so resourceful at deception, subterfuge, propaganda, etc., then maybe our House rinos’ and Ronald’s little followers should nominate one for Speaker. He or she would fit right in.
That person is too stupid to talk with, much less ask to validate that idiocy.
I always use John McCain as a classic example of the Uniparty. The SOB spent practically all 8 years of Obama’s presidency screaming “Repeal and replace! Repeal and replace!” regarding Obamacare. Yet McCain’s last public act before dying was to get off his deathbed in AZ and fly to DC to cast a deciding vote to . . . save Obamacare.
If that doesn’t show “uniparty,” nothing does.
I always get a satisfying feeling, being an Iraq veteran, at the site of that ORIGINAL BADLY WRINKLED AMERICAN FLAG THAT FIRST COVERED HIS CASKET! IT TOOK THEM NEARLY TWO DAYS TO FIGURE OUT THE SIGNIFICANCE AND REPLACE IT!!! 😊
He was a vile, nasty excuse for a human.
I am uncertain if he was human.
Another example of nasty, self-serving filth cluttering the halls of congress
I knew him as Juan McStain.
No better example of a dimwit than that.
Not a dimwit. He was an evil, evil man.
Consider the source.
Does anyone even think that the choice of speaker will actually change anything?
They seem to think that.
As Jim Jordan wrote, “What is the real reason?” why whoever wouldn’t vote for him as Speaker.
Could the “real reason” have been because, yes, he would have changed things? Starting with cutting off their gravy train.
No more secret votes. Put their names on it. Drag them out into the light.
Yes! We want to know how the cretins voted! They are afraid you will vote them out!
here is my view: no the person chosen as speaker does not make a difference. What matters is WHO AND HOW the speaker is controlled. Gaetz and others effectively blocked mccarthy until firm concessions were agreed to. Remember, these concenssions reversed “pelosi rules”. These are significant controlling “contracts” so to speak. McCarthy finally agreed and he was seated. But then he failed and failed and failed to live up to those terms. Let me list just a short of what those terms were:
mccarthy not only refused to deliver on the terms of his seating, but he actively worked with joe malarkey and the radical left corruptors to undermine MAGA/AMERICA FIRST agenda items! One could say, accurately, he acted with treason to the promises and committments he made to gain the seat!
the point here is that we have to accept that business as usual is not longer going to free ride in DC. We have real fighters who are willing to stand up and even threaten to cause great harm to otherwise normal processes in DC. This IS the nuclear option and it is playing out in real time. This is what strikes fear in the institutional players. That a small group can actually have this much power to shut it all down. That is called power. I support this kind of action. Failing to coral the speaker and force agenda items on the house is how to lose power and admit defeat and we all go back to business as usual and everyone ignores the real problems created by DC. My view is that we are seeing a real sea change…the old guard is losing power. The new guard, aiming to gain much more power is doing it with righteous resolve….The agenda items do make america more safe and secure. And these agenda items remove the assumed exclusively pelosi like powers from a speaker…powers that should never have been allowed to be assumed. We need the house to represent US…WE THE PEOPLE.
I support Gaetz…he does not need to be perfect to be my champion. Only to switch the sunlight into those dark smoke filled old guard rooms and show how corrupt DC operates AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF YOU AND ME> That is a type of victory I am satisfied with. Whether it gains traction and succeeds and realizes a balanced budget, better border control, less grift, delimits to the secret police spy state…I don’t know…but it’s clear to me this is the direction of that cause. So I support that.
God Bless America
You are MY HERO.sigh. My husband and I thank you for thinking like us.
Here Here. Well said and all that stuff.
My posit is, like this past January, that it’s the process which will educate and potentially change timelines we’re not even aware of currently. Every choice opens up a myriad of new timelines and other choices. Perhaps someday we can fully grasp the power of the free will God has given us. I have hope.
Choices being made today, even seemingly inconsequential ones, can and will have marked or even I daresay historic, impacts on the future of mankind that we currently aren’t equipped to comprehend.
Perhaps we can look at the history of our Legislative branch and gain insight; focus narrowly on the Speaker position over the centuries. What can we learn from the choices of others? 🙂
It really has come to this point, ‘More Chaos Please’.
Getting rid of the corrupt DC was always going to be chaos. Let us relish the chaos of DC. Do we really want the swamp critters in DC to continue their thievery and corruption, NO. When this started last January I have seen faces in congress I’ve never seen and how long they have been in DC.
Time for all of them to go and most should be going to prison! For the first time in history, the citizens of the country can watch a Roman style collapse of their country, Live.
Keep Harriet Whatshername from Wyoming. She replaced Liz Cheney and we need her!
Hageman.
This just in from X/Twitter:
RINOs will see/use this as an “opportunity” to get Donalds on “their side”.
He’s very new to the Hill.
If by some chance he *does* get the job, pray hard for him.
Donalds appears to be AF. He has stood up to the swamp thus far.
I am praying for him to continue to call out the RINOs and the rest of the swamp.
I like him a lot. I’ve wondered if he is seasoned enough for the Speaker’s job.
A good Speaker has to wear many hats, and be good looking in all of them.
He’s been loyal MAGA. I wouldn’t want him to have to sacrifice that for another job that requires more balance for the time being with THIS membership.
donalds would get eaten alive by palosi and her cabal of flesh eating vampires….assuming he isn’t a rino in sheep’s clothing.
I have no reason to believe that Donalds is a RINO. Do you?
Byron Donalds is a true fighter and smart. He’s very matter of factly.
IMO, Donalds has the gumption for the job. I’ve heard him speak up against the Left and the RINOs (redundant, i know).
He grew up in Hakeem Jeffries’s district.
And suppported the latest Continuing Resolution.
Every time a listen to him, he seems like a man of conviction and honesty. He’s a DJT supporter. So this will be very interesting. Not to mention he’s black…. very interesting indeed.
If this was Gaetz plan from the start, it makes sense out of what appeared to be destructive chaos.
We need organization.
MAGA needs a national funding organization that fully supports the primarying of every one of these RINO traitors. One that we can trust and financially support. We need the names of all 122 Republicans(Someone knows), and we need to organize and fund for one purpose, the destruction of the old RINO globalist led GOP, and then set about making sure this never happens again. You do this by accomplishing these goals in my opinion.
There is no difference with our government today and the Chinese Communist government that relies on bribes. Lobbing is nothing but legalized bribery.
Can’t we have them recalled?
I don’t believe so.
No
The 17th Amendment was passed w/ no recall. How convenient.
The Senate prior to the passage of the 17th provided the States a voice in the workings of the Federal gov’t. Senators were selected dependent upon how the State’s Constitution directed their election. Some States allowed the governor to select their Senators, some States allowed the State’s House or State’s House & Senate to elect their Senator. All States had “recall” provisions, some were simple majority votes in one or both State chambers.
Remove the 17th Amendment and you have no need for term limits in the US Senate bec the State’s Senator was to protect State rights from the Federal Govt n if a Senator voted for a bill that harmed their State, they were usually (in a perfect world) quickly replaced. But they were replaced or hamstrung from that point on.
House and Senate members cannot be recalled. There is an expulsion clause in the Constitution that is similar to the impeachement process. Congress is supposed to police itself and censure or expel members for “high crimes and misdemeanors”.
The people elected them to represent them and as such the people should be able to recall them. I would be surprised if it isn’t in the State constitution somewhere. I looked in Oregon and didn’t find it but that would be one of the first things to go if you were looking to control your purchase of Congress.
It would make sense that a recall should be an option for a State representative.
It won’t be done without an Article 5 Convention of States, and that won’t happen cause everyone is scared of it.
Truth, that, Booger!
An Article 5 COS comes up freq here.
I’m one of those – that is scared of a COS bec Article 5 was written by moral men with convictions.
Article 5 was written with the understanding that the COS was to be convened and managed by moral men with convictions.
There are not enough moral men with convictions in Congress to have a football game. So the COS would be run my amoral men who would trade the First or Second Amendment for shiny trinkets. I used to add the Fourth Amendment but the Patriot Act destroyed the 4th.
Drew Ferguson is on my list to primary.
Amen
The whole 122 need to be primaries
Those who say the Speakership doesn’t matter are cowardly fools.
Look what Newt was able to do as Speaker
In some ways this speaker vote is the death knell of the Republican Party .
Could one be very hopeful and say that this speaker vote is the death knell of the OLD Republican Party and the clarion call of the NEW Republican Party?
Part of the issue is that they wield massive power and receive small compensation. This results in the ability to buy them with small petty favors or for $10k in cash. So a small favor buys billions in funding.
The concept of a statesman who gives of his valuable time for the betterment of our nation is unrealistic in today’s America.
You are spot on that term limits alone will not break the cycle. Term limits must include banishment from influence (lobbying).
It takes years for the system to groom a congressman to be an efficient criminal.
And a corrupt Media that lets them get away with their crimes.
When was the last time a Media outlet did a deep dive on a Congressman or Senator’s net worth after they took office? It’s not difficult to do, but they are complicit in the racket that they are fully aware of.
They (Media) know more than anyone how Washington works. They know the game of bribes and influence that goes on, and instead of doing their job which is to hold these people accountable of their power, they have become part of the influencing racket themselves for the Lobbying firms and their de facto servants.
I cringe every time I hear “term limits.” Imagine, if you will, the entire Congress in a permanent state of lame duck status. I can’t think of a faster way to destroy this country.
Term limits is a fools’ game – a unicorn…
It requires the corrupt to agree to limit their own corruption.
They never would.
Not feasible.
Term limits would take more power from the constituents.
It is not just up to them when amending the Constitution, and it would definitely eliminate someone serving decades in DC where they can be corrupted by the lobbyists.
Why is this different from what the Founders wanted? They wanted the common man to serve for a brief period of time and then go home. I certainly don’t see how term limits is more destructive than what we have now which is a bribery system of corruption.
No need to repeal the 17th Amendment. We just need a new Amendment that requires the states to pay the salaries (and benefits) of their Senators and Representatives, and their staffs. If one of their Congress critters (House or Senate) isn’t representing the people or state properly, the state can cut his salary to ZERO.
While Xi and Putin laugh at the “democratic” US government that doesn’t try to benefit the people.
As the Uniparty’s Anger Mgr, JJ makes sure the status quo never changes, so if the Uniparty is in charge, he should be a shoe in, rt?
Trump should be voted on for Speaker. Not to get the job, just to REALLY show who the RINOs are.
Is there really much of a question?
Who is every day railing the uniparty? There is your MAGA crowd. It’s minuscule.
In Congress maybe but in real life the RINOs have no people voting for them. With reformed elections there may be no RINOs.
Lots of people are going to unregister as Republicans just as Mittens and his little friend Ronna planned.
As is preordained…
Scalise….
Thune….
You can’t fight it, it is written.
Bryon Donalds to run for speaker
He would be great but can any Republican with a Conservative Review Liberty Score of 100%, “A” rating get elected Speaker. I doubt it. Just ask Jim Jordan!
Do they dare to dismiss a POC????? (their rules, not mine).
His name was put forward twice during the Speaker’s race in January.
Went nowhere.
That was then This is now.
no chance. he’s not seasoned enough.
I don’t get “seasoned”. What have now is seasoned Reps and Senators, all seasoned to perfection. A major reason Trump is great is he is not seasoned.
Lets see John James vote against him lol
james is bs artist rino. i had his number here in michigan years ago. trump doesn’t trust him either. trust me…a complete rino to the bone.
😲 another one bites the dust…😞
This is not gonna end well for establishment GOP.
I pray is doesn’t. They need to be called out for what they are; just another bunch of weeds in the swamp.
I hope America finally realizes that the Republican Party was NEVER in control of the House. It was always a coalition of Democrats and Democrat collaborators.
“America” has no idea of the doings and running of the USA Gov. Way more than half the American population does not visit (let alone be a proponent of) the conservative websites.
I ditched FNC in November of 2020. However, by that time, and beyond, they picked up many previously ignorant citizens.
Lo and behold, that has opened some eyes; even though it is “pablumized” news, it is eye-opening for many. Not a bad thing. But we have a long way to go.
I don’t care about the speakership…… I don’t know why everyone is in such a hurry to send $100 Billon of Foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan…….Any Speaker is going to approve the money….. I say no more!!!
I’m done with all the Money Laundering Scams…..
I fill Byron MacDonold would be a great speaker of the house.
I’m sure I’ll get hammered by many, but that’s ok.
He endorsed President Trump and that’s merit enough for me.
I like him but he is pretty wet behind the ears.
Why does it matter? The pretending that it’s massively complicated is silly.
He put his “toes in the water.” He can surely deal with his ears, and behind his ears.
Outsiders and newbies are the only non-swamp options – in either party.
If the 8 who brought Frank Luntz’ boyfriend down were to cease caucusing with the RINOs, would that place the Dems back in power?
What happens if enough MAGA Republicans desert the RINO ship to produce a tie between the two parties?
I want to see total paralysis in the Swamp, because nothing good ever comes out of that hellhole.
This swamp is so bad . . . it’s “eat your tires” bad where the alligators are on the side of the road and start chewing on your truck tires if you move too slowly, which is possible, due to the ruts.
The People know that Congress has raped the nation for decades, and ROLLED OVER when the 2020 election was stolen from US.
Congress has all the dignity of Stacy Abram’s thigh rash, or Hunters last forgotten crack pipe.

I doubt that this changed anything about jim jordan.
One the the Team Jordan needs to rat out the 122. This isn’t working.
The Texas Secretary of State has released bombshell findings from the 2022 midterm election audit of Harris County
The report reveals Harris County had 9,000 more voters in the registration system than what was reported to the state.
Almost 3,600 mail-in ballots were sent to voters but not reported to the state.
27% of polling locations failed to return or properly complete necessary paperwork.
Keep in mind that the critical races in Harris County were separated by a few thousand or only a few hundred votes in many.
A lot more discrepancies were found, this is more than enough for a judge to force an election redo.
Maybe Lina Hidalgo is not the rightful county judge.
That was a close race.
There is so much more to say about this issue. The Texas Court of Appeals, made up entirely by Republicans, appears to be corrupt. I followed the election of one justice coincidentally named Scott Walker: https://www.ksat.com/news/texas/2022/01/26/texas-republicans-pressure-court-to-reverse-decision-blocking-attorney-general-from-prosecuting-election-cases/
AS long as the DS Obiden regime is in power, WTP have no recourse. Unless…. think back 248 years ago.
Bombshell? It’s how Democrats run all elections? Anyone here shell schocked? I didn’t think so!
The election administrator in Harris County jumped out of her job rather unexpectedly about the time the Zuckerbucks became a “thing”. A kind of sketchy guy replaced her. I didn’t keep up with the whole story but it did not sound right.
One or two of the issues noted about come from having to use volunteers without much experience to work the precincts. Trying to fill the slots usually can be a challenge.
Since I used to live in Houston for ~35 years and later worked the elections, the Harris County election shenanigans caught my eye.
Yet !!! The Lion. Grrrrrrrrr…..
Newsmax is reporting that Representative Hern of Oklahoma is running for Speaker. According to the article, Hern supports President Trump. Do any Treepers know anything about Representative Hern?
N.O.P.E.
That’s why he/she/they are most likely running….
That’s Ryan’s horseshit reasoning and look where it got him..
As I recall he ran for VP and debated Biden….both were agonizingly painful to watch and listen; very scripted.
He threw that debate so hard it bounced off the wall.
The House just adjourned until Tuesday at 1100.
At least that limits the damage the congressmen can do.
It’s been a de facto shutdown.
They can’t spend our great great great grandchildrens’ money as long as that continues.
And they hate that.
Kyle Seraphin wants to see the hashtag #NoOne4Speaker trending.
He says that the longer this Speaker race drama drags out, the more people should realize that the federal government is not that important to the average American’s day to day well-being.
His point is that there should not be such an assumption that Big Government is there to save us.
“His point is that there should not be such an assumption that Big Government is there to save us.”
Or serve us.
If the government truly worked for the people, we could fire these assholes immediately through a recall vote.
Good. Let’s all enjoy the weekend.
I’m starting to think that I’m really glad I’m not down wind of DC because a reckoning is coming…
SECRET….
That’s the GOPe, RINOs, party.
I’ll vote SECRET as well, NOT for a single damn 1 of them.
Dems win all the time anyway…
And away for wknd…
DESTROY the gop!!
I love my user name on this website more and more everyday!
Ad rem,
I no longer am getting notifications of replies or the email to confirm.
I was hit with some malware a couple of days ago and was able to get rid of it. Maybe that had something to do with it.
Help! Thanks.
me either. no notifications regardless of what i do.
I predict that enough socialist-leaning GOPe will vote for Jeffries or some other socialist “to move the country forward” or “to put this behind us” or “to come together in bipartisanship to get on with the people’s business.”
There will be a B.S. power-sharing agreement, some committee chairmanships, etc. The reps voting against Jordan will lose their chairmanships, committee memberships, and reelection funding in the ensuing purge.
There are simply not enough votes in the GOP wing of the uniparty to get one of theirs elected. The McCarthy circus should have taught them that.
noting: FTX/Alameda donated approximately 40 million dollars in the 2022 election cycle.
just to name a few of the politicos who received dark money: schumer and mcconnell.
the reason I post this is not simply to illustrate how these two people in the senate control much of the agenda, but rather to help understand that special INTEREST controls the agenda. These two people are merely puppets. You can extrapolate this same framework to all of DC. Professional political people are NOT IN DC TO REPRESENT YOU! It does not matter who they are or what party they are “affiliated”…what matters is who is financing their campaigns, keeping them in office, establishing the proper media optics that favor them (or disfavor them), and to control the agenda in congress with the maximum outcome that can be predictable and help enrich and expand power…it is literally a cabal. A pay for play marketplace. I give you this amount of money and I expect you to say these things and vote this way. And that is exactly what happens. Refusal rarely happens. Non cooperators are targeted for destruction. This IS THE GAME. Understand this clearly. There is no more pretending. There is no such thing as good men and women working hard for your interests in DC. That does not exist. It probably has never existed in the last 100 years. What has taken place in the last 30-40 years is the great pretending…as sundance calls it, THE BIG UGLY. That is this: you are being lied to and cheated. The operators of the game have changed the rules. The power is not longer from THE PEOPLE. The power is established by who pays the most and at the right time and with the best effective political agility. the donors/lobby industrial complex if you will have replaced THE PEOPLE. Stealing an election was naturally one step up the ladder to complete control. That has already happened. Do not expect the election in 2024 to be any different. It may not be pandemic and mail ins, but there will theft OF YOUR POWER TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. You have every right to be optimistic, but I also believe that optimism in this situation, in this timeline, given what we know, serves no one other than the act of denial.
we are stage 4 revolution: transfer of power. So far the corruptors continue to hold majority power and have transferred much power into a small group of interest control. But the game is not over yet. And while things look bleak, remember…it’s pain that makes revolutions happen. We are not even close to experiencing the kind of pain required to make a revolution happen. But it will happen..the pain…So be prepared…ready or not..it is coming. Stealing power never happens peacefully. The pain will come. And from that, change. Be on the right side of your faith with God is my best advice. And carry a firearm.
God Bless America
Thanks regitiger 👍👌
👉You’re correct about this , I definitely appreciate the clarity of the situation you’ve presented with the encouraging final “best advice”👈
Many are out in the open now.
Keep that sunlight shining on them.
Another jack!
off.
Hey Rep Fitzpatrick was Speaker Pelosi “bipartisan” ? Give me some examples of her being bipartisan because I missed them? Only RINOs believe a Republican Speaker should be bipartisan and not Democrat Speakers! RINOs are really just Democrats tarted up to fool conservative voters! But Sundance and President Trump has exposed they’re mendacity! JMO
More roaches scurrying out—but of course they must stop by the nearest MSM microphone on their way back into the shadows.
If I looked under Beta Male in a dictionary would I find this guy’s picture?
Blecch.
No, but you would find that Fitzpatrick is a former FiBbIe and a former DOJ attorney.
So it’s these rotten billionaires funding these scum rinos?
“It’s astonishing to me, and we are in a very bad position as a party.” – Kevin McCarthy
Well, well, well. Looks like the message is finally getting through to some of them. I’m still fine with the House doing absolutely nothing until PDJT is reelected.
same here…if they can all go home until Tuesday and do nothing, then who needs them. I think we are all safer with them not being there and voting.
WE ain’t in it yet, however, we are circling, and it appears a empty chair is on the horizon. Stay strong and never relent. MAGA!
This morning on his radio show, Bongino went over a lot of the House reps who were holding out, not voting for JJ, and he said his sources had identified a few who were holding out for earmarks. He didn’t name them but did name James of Michigan, whom Trump and his son pulled over the line to win, after his losing the other times out.
He said James actually admitted in an interview yesterday that he wanted “x” (I can’t recall what it was) for his constituents. Some project, of course.
This isn’t the time for that crap, of course.
Then, I heard Hannity saying his sources…and yes, when Sean brags he has called all this right before it happens because he DOES have sources, it’s true, he’s been right….or, actually, his sources have been right.
His sources reported to him before the votes that the entire NY GOP delegation wanted JJ to promise he would return the time when taxpayers could claim their state and local taxes as deduction off their federal income tax. As you know, taxpayers in places like NY and CA, where property is highly inflated in value and where taxes are very high in general, do not get to deduct those high taxes and so lost a lot of money when that law was changed.
Even though I am a Californian who is penalized a great deal for where I live by that law, I respect Jordan for saying, “No.”
It appears the non- JJ GOP is trying to elect a speaker who will, for their votes, let them feed from the trough.
According to some other hosts, some of the members are just jealous of JJ and his fame with the GOP base.
They just come across as petty, week, inconsequential people who should have never been elected to public office. They are bargaining away our country for earmarks and projects? So small….
The SALT exemption was a brilliant move by the blue states to get the rest of us to fund them.
I agree with JJ on that and PDJT too.
It’s Sh!t like this by the Republican Party that made my decision easier when I decided on Jan 6 change to
Independent.
😡😡😡
CNN bragging about “THE REVENGE OF THE RINO’S” McHenry is another POS. Best thing is all the money we’re saving with no HOR in session. I say nominate TRUMP and let’s cause REAL CHAOS. This will bring sunlight to the the other POS in hiding. Love GOD and Love your neighbor and be the best you can be. DEAR JESUS, WE TRUST IN YOU.
McHenry my congress critter has never voted against ANY spending bill or extension of the Debt limits. He is not MAGA in most voting results.
Long Live the Grand New MAGA Party.
Establishment won this time. How will they ever let Trump come back? Sad day.
They won’t. Trump will never be allowed into “their” WH again. If he needs to be JFK’d, they will JFK him. The court stuff underway now is their final attempt to make him go away without a bullet.
You can absolutely rest assured they have a plan on how to make all of it happen. They have done it before many times and always gotten away with it. I’m sure Team Trump is fully aware of the danger too.
Not fearmongering either. It’s Realville in the USA today.
It’s amazing a R candidate can be “too conservative but a D candidate can never be “too radical”.
Nominate Donalds and when someone votes against him , call them a racist .
Thats how the Dems are successful .

Mr. XXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXX MN XXXXXXX
Dear XXXXXXXXX
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. I appreciate your views, which help inform and guide me in Congress.
Instead of working to pass regular order appropriations bills, securing our border, and investigating the dubious business dealings of Hunter Biden, a handful of selfish Republicans conspired with House Democrats to oust Speaker McCarthy. I voted against this motion because my sole focus is pursuing policy that helps the citizens of Minnesota’s Eighth District, not celebrity or fundraising. It is clear these individuals have no interest in legislating or governing.
After supporting Congressman Jim Jordan to become the Speaker in the first round of voting, it became clear that Congressman Jordan could not unite the Republican Conference. In times such as these, we cannot waste our time pursuing failed candidates who don’t stand a chance at winning the Speakership.
Going forward, I will support a Speaker who will unify our caucus so I can get back to the work you sent me here to do. Rest assured, I will always fight to bring Minnesota commonsense to Washington.

That’s a BIG
FXXK YOU PETE!!
You are content to shyt on the American tax payer, send our resources to wars that have NO bearing on our well being all the while delivering a terrible economy, inflation and a depletion of our nations resources as never seen in history before.
Now when someone has the courage to stand up to more of the same, you vote against it.
Thanks RINO!! I know what I must do. America LAST PETE.

So I have an idea on how to fix this crap but I would like to hear what others think about the idea. What if all republican states pass laws to make it illegal for state or federal employees (House and Senate) for that state to invest in stocks/bonds or any other way they can make money off of “tips” for voting a certain way, no exceptions. Also, require state and federal to be audited (income and campaign donations) once a year, no exceptions, by an independent contractor who must publish their findings. Violations would be punishable by all of the following, with no exceptions: removal from office, jail time, fines and the person would no longer be eligible to serve in any public office. This would give power back to the states (the people). It would also expose on a state level who is corrupt as they would be against it. I understand that it sounds harsh and it probably is. I also understand that it would discourage some people from running for office. I look at it as only those who want good for America and not profit for themselves would run for office. The federal government is out of control and there is no means to fix it unless we do something like this. We can’t recall our representative or senator. Only those in the chambers can kick them out and why on earth would corrupt people throw other corrupt people out? It won’t happen. If we do a convention of states, you can bet that would be infiltrated by the globalists like the tea party was. Not to mention, any new party and it’s leaders will be harassed by the infernal revenue, like the tea party was. If all the republican states did this, we would make a dent and maybe even break the power of the lobbyists and globalists over our capital.
Anyway, I know there are others out there who might see flaws in my thinking and might have suggestions about this.
LOVE that idea !! From your lips to God’s ears.

EMMER IS THE EARLY FAVORITE IN SPEAKER FIELD

Mica Soellner:
MARK GREEN is NOT running for speaker, his office tells me.
As soon as he was nominated, Kevin McCarthy endorsed him.
Never Trumper, hates MAGA effer Emmer is the UniParty choice to lead the House.
They really really hate us.
Being from Minnesota and having seen and spent way too much time around Love-Myself-More-Than-Anyone-Else-Emmer, I know we are TOTALLY SCREWED with the feckless likes of Emmer and his devotees.
They really do hate us.
Is he a good fundraiser?
If yes, he has a chance.
Okay, form a coalition, any and every vote make it Trump. Just vote Trump and throw a bomb in everything. Screw them.
There’s an old saying that describes the unitary to a tee. One hand washes the other. A substack the Grey Mirror has a good take on the dynamic of all of this.
Very high signal to noise ratio, Sundance. Thank you.
I’m thinking Donalds, or even Mace.
Not Mace; Donalds…
Let’s recap the last 17 days.
10-3 McCarthy out as Speaker. The House has no power to declare war or vote out money until a new Speaker is elected.
10-6/10-7. Mossad-created Hamas attacks Israel.
10-10 US Ford Carrier Group arrives in Eastern Med, within range of Russian hypersonic missiles
10-12 Israeli troops mass on the Gaza border, preparing a ground attack.
10-16. Baptist Hospital attack/claims/fog of propoganda war
10- 17. Jordan loses Speaker vote. Congress still has no power to declare war.
Israeli troops continue build up on the Gaza border, going to attack at any moment now . . .
10-18. Jordan loses second round
Still no power to spend or declare war.
10-19 Israeli tanks sitting on Gaza border, gonna attack vewy, vewy soon now. Any moment, really.
10-20. Jordan loses 3rd round, withdraws.
Still no ability to declare war or spend money.
Israeli ground assault?
Still on delay. . .
It’s almost as if someone needed to be sure the US would declare war upon the occurrence of . . . something . . . that is supposed to happen during or as the result of Israel moving into Gaza.
If you think you are frustrated, imagine the warmongers aiming for a US involved WWIII.
LOL.
Sand has been poured and the gears of war are frozen up.
“We Caught Them All.”
Kayfabe.
Enjoy . . .
No war. Trump 2024.
The US no longer declares war. Last time was World War II.
The Gulf of Tonkin resolution was cover, the AUMF was cover.
“Balls on chin Biden” hasn’t played WWIII as expected, so the Party of War is in check at the Executive Branch. You can chalk that up to the Biden regime favoring the MB, or you can look for the deeper game signalled by the fake Biden becoming very, very obviously fake.
Now the Party of War is in check at the Legislative Branch- not just at the declaration of war move but also at the grease the wheels with money move.
If this were a chess match, the Black Queen is still on the loose, but a couple of rooks and a knight have the Black bishops pinned down, while the White Queen is moving on the diagonal to put the Black King in check.
It may be this is all going to pull the Black Queen out of his hidey hole too. (Dah dump dah dump. Try the salmon, I’ll be here all night.)
Not everything is as it appears. Indeed, most of it isn’t.
There are only a handful who are not bought and paid for. Greed over integrity. Nothing for the American citizen.
Our founders would weep.
How to form a valid opposition party that represents faithfully the foundational principles, the judeo christian principles and virtues, and their voters that voted for them based upon what they claim to represent.
Majority speaker is not in the Constitution, I haven’t found that it’s even mandated in House rules. So is one really necessary? Maybe w/o a House MS, bills will no longer be written by the K street lobbyist and $$$ passed around to garner bill sponsors.
I know, crazy idea, but their were days when the House functioned like that!
