The slate is set for a Monday evening conference in the Republican House of Representatives as nine GOP politicians have registered by the deadline today to put their names in the nomination process. After the conference meets on Monday night, there will be a secret ballot vote on Tuesday.
The absolute worst-case scenario is Tom Emmer (R-MN) who has just received the endorsement of Kevin McCarthy. Emmer wants to abolish the electoral college for presidential races in favor of a national popular vote. Unfortunately, Emmer likely carries around 70 automatic votes from the professionally Republican caucus.
On the opposite side of that spectrum is Byron Donalds (R-FL) who is pure MAGA and also running for the job.
WASHINGTON DC – The House GOP’s enormous speaker field is officially set, with nine Republicans seeking to somehow unify their splintered party after almost three weeks without a leader.
It’s the most crowded field since former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s fall 19 days ago. The latest round of candidates includes current GOP leaders — like Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Vice Chair Mike Johnson (R-La.) — as well as more surprising rank and file members like Reps. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.). Another last-minute addition, Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.), who serves as GOP policy chair, raised eyebrows on Sunday.
“Any one of those, I think, could get very close to 217. But the question is which one of those can actually cross the finish line,” Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) told POLITICO, referring to candidates like Reps. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) and Johnson. (read more)
Byron Donalds and Mike Johnson appear to be the best options of this field.
Besty: Love it.
And when it puffs white we can say, “we have a Dope!”
Yes, as all 435 ARE “Dopes”, that is guaranteed.
Betsy is the Best!
Once went three years before we got a pope!
Ha ha ha
Did you research Donald’s at all? I did. Why? One of his protégés is currently terrorizing our city. And to suggest a CR on budget? Pure MAGA is a huge overstatement. Sleeper cell is more like it
Hi Sarah. Help a brother out with some sources?
Name the protege, name the city, be specific as to the nature of the “terrorizing” and the general timeframe.
Is Donalds to blame for an associate’s actions? Who is this protege and what is he doing?
But you ate good with Tom Emmer? The guy was paid rep for Soros? He wants the electoral college gone?
Best choice is “somebody else” a.k.a. NOBODY.
Draw the process out, as long as possible, until eventually the lobbyists get fed up, and instruct the RINOS to break the deadlock by OPENLY pairing up with Dems, which is no actual loss, as thats what McCarthy was, anyway.
TPTB benefit from delay, as their kabuki theater faux hearings had gone about as far as they could, but again “WE” were never going to get anything real out of them,…anyway.
Keep it shut down, due to no Speaker…as long as possible.
Gas station sushi is my preferred candidate for SOH.
O.k., you got me, thats now my SECOND choice!
One can be against both. I didn’t see her say one thing about Tom Emmer. Why put words in her mouth. This is disingenuous.
One of the BEST things about CTH is that we do our research and back it up with evidence. We help each other by citing sources. Your statement sounds like gaslighting and the fact that you have 38 upvotes makes me wonder if the tree has an infestation of pests.
Easy-Peasy:
To all D’s and Rinos:
If you Do Not Vote Donalds..YOU Are a RACIST!!!
You owe him REPARATIONS!!!!
We are better off w/o a speaker.; helps keep the purse strings tied in a bow!
President Patty Murray.
Yep, that’s the scary version 😮
Reminds me of Nellie Ohr. Same grey look.
There’s a ‘look’ to leftists (usually an early 1970’s appearance) and she has it.
Most of the Dems look like that. Rarely see any of them smile . Evil shows through. Give me a funny Trump any time .
Why does that picture look like a Photoshop of China Mitch McConnell in a wig?
Believe me – that’s how she always looks, albeit this photo may have been on a rare “better” day!
I believe you are correct, It’s a rare better day. Unfortunately she my state senator.
Ditto, I feel your pain. Jayapal is my congressional rep. I definitely know what it is like to have no representation,
In Massachusetts, haven’t had representation in government since moving here in 1998.
Funny, that.
I didn’t have any representation from Massachusetts before I left that police state of tyranny in ’98.
Haven’t had it in ANY of the states I’ve lived in due to the corruption of the Constitution, which is the government, that has has already bled through the layers from federal to state to local involving all political offices, their jackboots, and their courts.
“When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation “ enlightened as it is“ if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.” – Samuel Adams

She’s looked the same for the last 30 years…..
LOL, I just posted a similar comment…great minds think alike.
Exactly what i thought. Mitch with hair.
OHMYGOSH!!! You’re right!!!
Oh my!!! What is THAT?
OMG, she is long in the congressional tooth as Shoomer’s sidekick. This WA State voter is guaranteed a nightmarish repose. Sure hope that was a joke.
Look what that ugly dude in the photo above has been up to:
https://www.murray.senate.gov/pride-month-roundup-senator-murray-speaks-out-against-attacks-on-trans-americans-introduces-equality-act-ban-on-conversion-therapy-pride-month-resolution-and-other-legislation-t/
Looks like Mitch McConnell with a blonde wig.
We here in WA state have been stuck with that ugly b***h for way too long.
We just can’t get rid of her.
We need the purse strings tied in a knot.
Grandpa Joe will just untie them with an executive order because emergency.
After putting an anvil in it, and before tossing it in the ocean.
Agreed, but as that starts to bite, eventually it will force the R’s to publically do what they don’t WANT to publically do, and openly join with Dems to select a SOTH in order to open the $pigots, again.
And Obidens $106 Billion ‘request’ along with the Turtle sticking his head out, tells me the $pender$ view the situation as critical, and so WILL ‘resolve’ it and so our “victory” will be forcing THEM to be open in their partnership with Dems.
I don’t owe anyone “reparations”!
🤣
Time to play The Race card.
Since the Dems do it all the time – in fact, are quite proficient – I’d like to see Donalds turn the tables on them.
Donald has too much class and to pull the race card defeats his message. He is bringing class to people of color who have been demoralized by the likes of Jesse Jackson
From the little I know, Mike Johnson has been impressive.
I was disappointed in Donalds’ announcement mentioning he would be the first black, etc…. Really sick of that garbage. Also, that TV interview afterward with Rachel was not impressive.
The thing that’s dangerous about Emmer is a lot of Dems could crossover for him and put him in. That would be a disaster.
My pick also.
👍
Rabid supporter of Cuban dictatorship running for Speaker of the House
Emmer buddied up with Barack Obama and other Dems on Cuba issues, a big no-no in South Florida.
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/640617-tom-emmers-relationship-with-cuba-and-democrats-may-come-back-to-bite-him-in-house-speakers-race/
Excerpt:
In politics, there are always skeletons lurking, waiting to jump out of the closet.
For U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer, who is running for House Speaker amid chaos on Capitol Hill following the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, that skeleton hails from Cuba and parties with the Obamas.
Already you might be catching the drift — the Florida congressional delegation, overwhelmingly red, isn’t likely to take kindly to this particular revelation.
Way back in 2015 — admittedly a lifetime ago in political years — Emmer filed the Cuba Trade Act of 2015 that would have lifted the Cuba trade embargo, allowing businesses in the private sector to trade freely with Cuba.
He introduced it with a Democrat from Tampa, U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor.
Strange bedfellows indeed. But it gets even more strange.
Emmer joined former President Barack Obama and Sen. Amy Klobuchar on a Cuba trip the next year, the first time a sitting President had visited the island nation since Calvin Coolidge in 1928, according to a press release announcing the trip.
When introducing the 2015 legislation, which then Speaker John Boehner strongly opposed without significant changes to the Cuban government, Emmer called it “a new and exciting chapter for the U.S.” He went on to say the legislation would “improve our position within the region, giving the U.S. a seat at the table and increased leverage” to support “political transformations.”
Good grief! Could political speech be any more tedious, with its cliched glittering generalizations — full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Who listens to that stuff and thinks they’re being informed?
Emmer must not get the gavel. Ever.
Emmer getting voted in by Dems would not be a disaster, that would be a win. Republican voters watching RINOs form a coalition government with Democrats after voting down Jordan would be an unforced self-own on their part. No matter who gets elected speaker, MAGA wins. There is no losing for us on this one, RINOs either join up or they get exposed.
Your speculation and fear about the Dems rallying behind Emmer are reasonable. It is their best opportunity to elect the candidate that is most sympathetic to their methods of operation. I seriously doubt that Emmer wins the Repub caucus ballot, but he would need only limited Repub support to win the gavel during the floor vote.
Moreover, your theory would likely be considered by the GOPe as a favorable outcome.
These are perilous times.
I live close to Johnson’s district and have followed him from his Congressional beginning.
From what I’ve seen through the years, he’s a solid Believer and hard-core Constitutionalist.
He is intelligent, articulate, and measured.
I have great confidence and hope for him, and pray regularly for him for wisdom and protection.
I pray The Lord will shield him from being corrupted by the sewer that is our current government.
Loser Theater.
Donalds is the exception (I hope).
donalds isnt there yet, and everyone please stop with the “owning” the left nonsense. they dont give a rip if you call them racist or if they are racist.
this is like the “own the left” folks wanting bruce jenner to be the next savior.
donalds is too young too new and stop picking black guys cause their black and it will really be something. we already had that with obama.
this whole crop needs to go. keep exposing rinos.
“i’ll release the tapes!”
everyone got played on that by mtg who sold out…oh donalds will be different.
just stop people. man we miss limbaugh.
Who TF voted for Tom Emmer!!!?
The thing that’s dangerous about Emmer is a lot of Dems could crossover for him and put him in. That would be a disaster.
All those who have taken Soros’ $$$ in one form on another.
Emmer is his man.
Yep. Worked for Soros as a spokesman for one of his groups!
Dude thinks he’s smarter than the Founding Fathers because “I read a book”!
The great man of conscience from Colorado, Rep Buck, voted for Emmer instead of voting for Jordon.
The civil war within the republican party is well underway. There are 2 encampments and they are becoming entrenched. I don’t see how there will be a republican speaker of the house by following traditional protocol. We will probably either go into the 2024 primary season with an exposed dysfunctional republican party or the dims will gain the speakership with RINO republican help.
Republicans claiming to be MAGA will be primary’ed if they cave, RINO’s don’t care, they have the backing of the party and that of the mega donor class.
Yeah, but only one of the encampments have any voters.
Our problem isn’t the Republican Party (at least not directly). Our problem is the fact that we have no organization. We need to mobilize the voters that are educated and educate the rest.
The RNC was supposed to fulfill this duty. It was their whole reason for existing. But they’ve become so corrupt that they represent themselves and the donor class and don’t care what happens to the voters.
I think they will elect a democrat just to show us how far they are willing to go.
They don’t WANT to go that route.
Only after ,…(?) how many days, did they finally threaten to, in order to break the deadlock and get McCarthy in.
Forcing your enemy, to do something they really don’t want to do, is usually a winning move.
i still say NO SPEAKER. cause constant and perpetual chaos to keep NO ONE in charge. NO MORE PASSING LEGISLATION that none of us want. no budget, no CR. refuse to abdicate to the gaslighting we know they will do.
SHUT
IT
DOWN
I agree
So do I, there is only ONE way they can break such a deadlock,..if the Freedom caucus holds firm, and thats by RINOS joining with Dems to break the impasse.
So, make em.
Agreed!
I think Jordan should nominate Baker and insist on an immediate vote….just to humiliate Bacon
that would be quite the spectacle, looking forward to it.
Oh Heavenly Father, give us our country back with the rule of law, economic prosperity, and religious freedom…oh and please seal our borders… and could we ask for your blessing, of balancing of our national budget?
*busy signal*
Any nation that aborts children by the millions is not going to avoid His wrath.
And that’s just for starters.
Then you are unaware of the Father’s covenant with HIS ppl. His wrath will be on those who sought for and legalized killing of babies, not the nation. He made a covenant with His ppl through Jesus. Study his life and you will see the Father. Also, the our constitution was inspired by God through man. *busy signal* you joke. That says tons more about you, Melnics, than it does The Bird.
Sadly, I think you are correct?
Refer to, “The sin of Mannessah.”
Miracles, prophecy, hopeful expectation that God will do something, and the preaching of Jesus’ words and deeds, are a sign of the true church of God.
Thank you so much for this.🥰
Amen
We need to be praying for His forgiveness and a return to [national] morality before we have any hope.
I do not give us good odds.
“ If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. “
2 chron 7:14
Amen! Only God can save this country — no person or party can do it!
THY (not my!) will be done, oh Lord,…
In this I pray!
AMEN!
They/we have not humbled ourselves!
Until believers repent of their own wicked ways and pass their faith along to their children nothing will get better and might send more wrath our way. God told His people to teach His ways to their children, not give that over to someone else whether Sunday school teachers or even school teachers. Parents abdicated their responsibility to someone else and their children were trained by someone who had a world view that was anathema to their own. Believers change the culture by training their children in Gods ways. So what happened? Believing parents stopped believing the word of God and decided their ways were superior to what is written in the Bible. They sent mom out of the house to bring home the bacon and many mothers decided that home wasn’t where she wanted to be tied down. Home became second for mom. She had someone else rearing her children, she had her own life and really didn’t need the husband any longer because she could take care of herself. Divorce skyrocketed, families were torn apart, children became bitter and America’s foundations were attacked. Culture is changed by families. Broken families, which controls and destroys culture today, or in-tack families, stable happy children uplifts cultures. America has chosen poorly.
PPL across the nation have done the praying for forgiveness for a couple of years, and He has been faithful to do that. What we are witnessing and experiencing now is the “shaking” of God. Do not pray away the shaking b/c The Father is exposing more and more the ones who have submitted to satan’s influence. Expect an acceleration of that for a while more, understanding that what you see is shaking or sifting as “gold nuggets” will shine.
any chance we could help out?
Only by doing things His way – anything else is doomed to fail.
I agree Patriot 2. We need to focus on God’s plan for our nation and indeed the world. It is a much better way than what we think or know now. God is NOT SLACK in His ways and how He has already prepared a victory for His people. That victory is gonna look different that what we think.
And religious freedom is going to be scary when we have so many of the radicals that support Hamas here supporting them! We need America based on Christian principles as our forefathers who started this nation.
Not hard.
Easy.
Article Vi Section 2 of the US Constitution is The Supremacy Clause that ALL law must abide the Constitution which is the supreme law of the land!
sharia is not. muslims follow sharia, because to be muslim is to be of islam. And islam demands compliance to sharia law above all else and even has four words/actions of lying (including apostasy) to get close to the kafir (infidel is so weak a word for the true meaning of kafir) to kill them. And there is no crime against kafir, because they are sub-human and have no rights as they are not human/muslim/islamic.
Putting sharia before the Constitution is unlawful and the incompatibility of the muslim religion due to their putting sharia above the Constitution, which is why they are NOT allowed in the USA (which like many other laws is ignored by the powers of perversion, corruption, and treason).
The USA is a Christian country and muslim’s are anti-Christian and every other religion, atheism, or apostasy.
People really need to know the true reason Thomas Jefferson had a quran. He learned the the truth of the islamic horde and formed the marines to deal with their Barbary Pirate islamists raping, pillaging, and enslaving the citizens from around the world.
Make America Godly Again and the Great will take care of itself.
The country needs a national week of atonement and an exorcism far more than it needs the economic blessings.
We can survive being poor in material wealth, we cannot endure the spiritual privation we are undergoing.
Totally agree CJ. Just watched “Before the Wrath.” Intriguing. Free on Jack Hibbs app Real Life Network.
I hear what you are saying but you will never make America godly until Christian make themselves godly. America is where she is today because believers stopped believing Gods word. It is the Lord who builds the house. If you want a godly nation you must have godly families. As the family goes so goes the church, and as the church goes, so goes the nation. What do you see in churches claiming Jesus Christ as savior? Many embracing the same ideology as the left. Broken homes, broken families, broken children. How can we expect anything different. Building your house on sand when the winds come it will tear down the house.
AMEN.
Thanks for adding that… that is what I was trying to convey…
AMEN!!!
I seem to recall reading here that The Big Ugly is underway, and things will get uglier. The House RINOs are herding together for protection. They’ll charge once they feel they have nothing to lose. That in my mind qualifies as getting uglier. Bring it on!
agreed….I’ve been all over the big ugly….Bacon is the lead scoundrel….pure scum.
Throw Howdy Doody’s name in the hat!
Or we could just strike a match.
seconded.
First, lock all the doors, WHILE CONgress is in session.
Then light em up.
HIGHLIGHT FOR MY Freeper Friends. I watched it so you don’t have to watch Fox.
:29 get ALL appropriations bills done. THAT MEANS NO CR
1:47 No money problem with border. We have a policy problem regarding the border
2:35 Ukraine- Inspector General and need a end goal with money being paid for.
3:19 Ukraine Part 2- 1) Evaluate Ukraine spending 2) Biden need to cut off spending somewhere else.
3:51 Will release all Jan 6th footage.
4:15 How to avoid WW3- Israel must obliterate Hamas. Return to Iranian sanctions. Must have a clear vision and goal for Ukraine
5:15 The speaker issue will not impact 2024 election.
Donalds may have a picture of Trump in his wallet to flash at campaign stops but I’ll bet he’s got a picture of Obama over his fireplace at home.
Bank it.
Why do you believe that? Curious what I missed that leads you gamble your money on that proclamation.
Donalds has been at PDJTs side at every event that I saw this summer….along with Gaetz. I’m not sure what the plan is but I think they are all working one.
Why? Cuz he’s black??
C’mon, tell us how you really feel Vine Li!
More like a picture of Obama in his fireplace.
I wouldn’t take that bet. I think he’s the real deal, and that’s why he won’t get elected as Speaker.
Total b.s.
Everything behind MAGA.
Stop blaming the turds in politics.
They were all elected fair and square by republican voters, whom, after 30 years of republican media, have been brainwashed to vote GOPe.
Both Trump and Reagan are/were one-offs that won despite the idiocy of the voters.
Not a snowball’s chance in hell that our current Congress was fairly elected. Warnock is a senator for cripes sake.
I’ll see that and raise you a Fetterman!
Precisely. Hasn’t been a fair election in over half a century, since Eisenhower. Only way we win for sure is full blow-outs to overwhelm all the cheating, like Nixon and Reagan. Same with State and County; drown the fraud.
Exactly what it you mean by fair and square? I’m not sure elections have been fair or square in the United States for along time.
In the unlikely event Byron Donald’s were to become part of the swamp people will be afraid to publicly vote him out do to his skin color. Strange times we live in.
I think there is NO perfect person for the job. Donalds is more solid than the others. Some put lots of faith in Hern. But I researched him…he is NOT a good guy. Is owned by military industry complex. Mueser is close to left of center. Some of these guys may be ok, but if they are willing to be firm and forceful, they can remain seated. I don’t think it matters at this point.
I am preparing my family and shoring up my own relationship with God Almighty. God is shaking things up in order to bring His people back into the fold in order for them walk through the fire without getting burned. God has allowed the foundations to be shaken, and men are now beginning to see that no human document is the explanation of a nation’s strength. It is not the democratic processes or the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence that will hold us steady in the day of sweeping tumult. Rather, it is the righteousness and truth that people love which will do it, and the fact is that only men and women who are committed to these values can be trusted in the hour of pressure. Once again people are seeing this clearly.
At least this is the way I understand it at the present time. Pushing forward, knowing why things happen like they do and what is the most important truth: God is in control.
How about Kris Kobach?
He already has a job.
Why not just make Zelensky Speaker of the House?
A majority of both houses have already licked his feet and kissed his ass.
Nah Zelenski will bankrupt us faster that we are going and the gig might be up quicker than the deep state wanted.
All of these people are pieces of SH!T. I also do not trust Reynolds.
Spit!
Donalds, that is.
I know it won’t happen, but the Speaker DOES NOT have to be a House member.
There is an ex House Republican who I would like — Devin Nunes.
Yeah….no way tne corrupt RINOs would allow that.
Of the 9 (REALLY? 9??!!) I like Hern and Donalds. Worst pick would be Emmer.
Hern is knee deep into insider trading of Military contractor stocks. Byron Donalds voted for McCarthy.
Nada. All of them.
Secret ballot? Cowards.
If President Trump endorses Donalds, and he is ballsy enough to play the race card against the RINOs… we may just eek out a small win here
A win would be no speaker!
btw what happened to President Trump server as Speaker “for 90 days until they figure it out”?
Why are we not doing this?
I mean, I know the answer. But no one is bringing it up.
This whole thing is a nightmare.
The dems are already attacking Donalds…

‘You Were A Bartender’: Twitter Users Dunk On AOC After She Suggests Rep Lacks Experience For Speaker Bid
https://dailycaller.com/2023/10/20/social-media-dunks-aoc-over-byron-donalds-criticism-speaker/
By attack you mean endorse.
I understand she also took more than her share from the tip jar.
Not cool.
So this is a scrum.
Thank God for Matt Gaetz.
The chips will fall where they may…
…all traitors will be appropriately exposed…
Carpe Diem!
Gaetz’s maneuver certainly pulled the plug on the investigations into Biden’s corruption. It just makes me wonder. There’s also a narrative forming that republicans are too chaotic to govern and that MAGA republicans are especially dangerous.
I like Byron D0nalds.
It doesn’t matter how many candidates. The core issues are Ukraine and the insanity of the budget. The anti Ukraine funding group represents most of the public…including I suspect most Democrats though they can’t admit it. That group feels locked in and has voter support. The pro Ukraine funding group knows they’re on the losing side of that issue – which is why the OBiden regime is trying to save them by telling Congress it has to pass Ukraine war money laundering if it wants Israel war money laundering. They need that political camouflage.
No Speaker candidate will survive once their allegiance to money laundering cash for Ukraine is known, and you have to assume at this point if they’re not saying, they’re FOR it. (Because the anti Ukraine money laundering side doesn’t have to hide…they enjoy popular support.)
The HFC needs to hang together. The CR expires on 11/15. That’s when the panic will set in on Team Government Party / Permanent War Larty.
I agree. I think Byron Donalds would be a good Speaker.
I have no problem calling RINOs white supremacists if they don’t vote for Donalds.
You should have a problem with that.
Prediction, Dems put Emmer over the top. Need a House cleaning. . .Now!
I think Obiden putting out this “request” for $106 Billion, followed by McConnell coming out, means the Push is on; the $ spigot being off has reached critical levels and so yes, we WILL see a resolution, and if its Rinos getting enough Dems, to vote for an Emmer, so be it.
We need a speaker, who won’t fund any of the white house imbecile’s pet projects, like the ukraine money laundering operation. Unfortunately, looking at the list, with the exception of a couple of names, it’s dominated by the ultra rino crowd, the ones that are more like democrats.
If Emmer is elected we should all follow the DemScum and yell “RACISM RACISM -We want Byron Donalds”
No, we shouldn’t. All you’re doing is giving power to the Left’s religious beliefs.
Crying “racism” is one of their religious chants. And we need to stop this worship of black people.
Rep. Dan Meuser from PA is a very good candidate for the role of speaker. He’s articulate, engaging and has the will and work ethic We The People need at this time.
If the US Constitution allows the two bodies to set their own rules/procedures, then if that is the reason that it is all right to have a secret ballot such as was used on Jim Jordan, I still don’t see how that is “legit” –
I can grasp the concept of the US Constitution allowing Congress to set their own rules/procedures, but to me it seems that it could be challenged if the rule or procedure is being USED to obviate – to go around – our system of constitutional republican governance – I would say that such a rule or procedure which subverts the nature of the governance so that things are done in the dark, in secret, without sunlight, then such a rule or procedure should be challenged. It is something that is being allowed and should not be allowed because it is being used to subvert the openness that is the essence of our governance.
We may lose this fight for Speaker,
but,
there is no reason any of these people should be in office after the next election.
They are all up for election in 1 year…….
The question is, will the GOP Congressmen throw the House to the dems like they did in 2018???????????????
Kevin Hern.
Secret ballot?! Sheesh.
The optimist in me hopes this will allow the GOP holdouts the ability to do what is right for their country without fear of retaliation.
But the realist in me fears that Gaetz was just the opening act in this play to elect a dem or RINO puppet.
Donalds is certainly not pure MAGA, but he is conservative in a House GOP caucus that is two-thirds not even conservative. He’s certainly the best of this lot.
Eventually, what will happen in the house is what happens in the Texas legislature, although no one knew about it until Ken Paxton was impeached. The 10 or 15 most liberal Republicans will join with the Democrats to elect a speaker who will be more Democrat than Republican.
For starters, Hern and Emmer should be immediately chastised in public and disqualified.
Kevin Hern (OK)

House Republicans Surrender to Democrats
Lex Greene NWV
In the 3rd attempt to seat Rep. Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House as a member of the
House majority party, 25 backstabbing fake republicans came closer to electing Democrat Marxist Hakeem Jeffries than fellow Republican Jim Jordan.
But this time, there won’t be 15 rounds of voting like McCarthy had before becoming Speaker at the beginning of the new congress. Instead, after three losses, Jordan received the boot in a so-called “SECRET VOTE” by his fellow fake republicans, who apparently but unofficially removed Jordan as a candidate for speaker in a reported 86-122 vote behind closed doors.
In other words, it’s a full-scale mutiny against Jordan and all America First voters, by far more turncoat republicans than the official 25 on the record. Apparently, the republican traitors in the House do not number 25, but rather 122.
Meanwhile, democrats have failed to cast a single vote for conservative Jordan or moderate Scalise, while publicly calling for “bipartisanship” while voting in the most partisan fashion possible.
In the end, this amounts to House Republicans surrendering control of the House to minority democrats in the chamber.
Now there’s no hope for a “pro-America First Speaker” at all, and republicans who hold a House majority are 100% responsible for this total disaster, as well as every disaster that follows.
There is NO WAY for this to end well or peacefully now. The People are on their own! We have NO representation at all at the Federal level.
NOW HERE’S THE REALLY CRAZY PART…. The 25 who voted against Jordan in the 3rd round could agree on who to NOT vote for, but NOT at all on who TO vote for…
Jordan 194
Scalise 8
McHenry 6
Zeldin 4
Donalds 2
McCarthy 2
Emmer 1
Garcia 1
Westerman 1
Further, everyone with between 1 and 8 votes is allowed to remain in the race for speaker, but the guy with 194 votes is now allegedly blocked from running a 4th time by 122 “secret squirrel” votes in some private backroom deal to relinquish control of the House to minority democrats.
You just can’t make this depth of insanity up and you have to see it with your own eyes to believe it! Apparently, any republican can run except the guy with the most votes now. Sound familiar?
These republicans have committed political suicide for the entire party. These 122 traitors will go down in history as the republicans who finished off the republican party in the USA.
Time for Trump to form an AMERICA FIRST PARTY?
The Republican party is merely a mask to hide from the public that what we actually have in Washington is a Uniparty.
Time to bury it.
Byron Donalds running is a good thing, and he should play the race card to some extent. Its not just about Speaker of the House. It is also about the Presidency. Let the congress critters speak out against him and show Black people and everybody what they really are, and what people they really represent.
Black Votes Matter.
It was too difficult for them to hide when the choice was scalise (who had withdrawn his name) and Jordan. With a larger panel, they can hide and manipulate the results.
How’d you get this accurate photo?
Congress is now a putrid corrupt carcass floating in the swamp that is DC.
Every move of the fake conservatives of the GOP spotlights the cancer of the uniparty and the corruption.
SOROS = Emmer = McCarthy endorse = proponent of unconstitutional change
Believe them when they show you they are rotten!
The longer it goes the more American are educated to the stinking bloated carcass that is congress.
A “republican” who wants to abolish the Electoral College? Cleary a person who do not understand the meaning or function of the Electoral college. What an a&&.
Traitor would be my word.
Roll the weighted uniparty dice and say, ” baby want a new speaker of the louse, yea!”
