In order to believe that Republican politicians support border control, you would simultaneously have to believe that Congress couldn’t shut down government until President Biden takes action.
You would have to believe the GOP House has no options, no power, no control, no ability or capacity to use the power of the people’s house to change the dynamic. That’s all nonsense. We do the things that are important to us. We avoid the things we do not want to do.
Republicans can shut down government, shut down agencies, cut off funding, and tell the American people why they are doing it… They can use their power to force Joe Biden to fight them and simultaneously make Biden justify to the American people why he refuses to secure our nation. Republicans could file court cases, force action, hold impeachment hearings, issue subpoenas, force testimony, demand action or face the consequences…. There is much they can do.
Alas, instead of taking severe action in the face of severe peril, they pretend to be powerless and announce they will “advocate” which means in DC, talk about it more.
[SOURCE]
We are in an abusive relationship with government, and the GOPe is a gaslighting wing of the UniParty vulture.
Sundance is absolutely on target. I admire you Sundance for the honesty and grit needed to make this very important point.
This stuff has been going on for decades and we always bought into it for one reason or another.
Everyone should be very angry about this current scam and it surely doesn’t help Speaker Johnson to move MAGA forward with this lame excuse of powerlessness, when nothing could be further from the truth.
Point is: Now more are aware of the truth and understand the power of the House and the Speaker.
The Speaker and the House will find out all too soon, that this procedure of pretending to reach out and “advocate” is nothing more than another scam by the Elite on the Deplorables.
They are all Hillary Clinton now.
“AT the end of the Day” they will pay. (I hate that annoying cliché).
Can you imagine Johnson’s time in Hell, for ALL ETERNITY, for betraying his stewardship as Speaker, for a mess of politically defiled pottage??
I hope and pray that in a moment of profound clarity that these Congress Critters are shaking in their boots as they realize the scale of the threat approaching.
If you are on the beach and the tide has pulled way out, revealing all the pretty shells and tide-worn chunks of glass, you had better know that a tsunami is on the way.
Nope, they truly are just that stupid….or they think we are.
At this point, we know what needs to be done – what is inevitable. We need (and have) a great leader – the way I see it is that we are waiting for that tide to rise.
What threat are you referring to? All players are still in place is the outcome dependent on us or them?
If this whole ‘Trump’ issue was a head fake we could party and dream big but nothing has changed. We have one bullet and no John Wick.
I doubt they are shaking in their boots right now. If we experience an Argentina currency crises, they will, I guarantee it and the odds are increasing every time they rob our treasury. It seems like we have no choice except to prepare and brace ourselves for what’s coming.
.
I kinda knew what we were in for with Kevin, but this out of nowhere Johnson deserves hard labor for claiming Jesus gave him this job.
The day is coming when making such a sham claim will cost you more than help you. At least his phony face will be irrelevant soon.
Wanna bet Johnson and Pence are close friends?
They sure do share a belief in the Osteen version of Christianity.
Sorry, but you couldn’t be more off base comparing Johnson to Pence!
Judas isn’t even as righteous as Osteen-fraud.
I remember thinking almost every day of the Kenyan’s regime that his behavior was outrageous, but this, THIS, is outrageous beyond words:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/war-biden-regime-files-emergency-application-demanding-supreme/
It is ironic that the regime’s petition claims that the razor wire prevents the border guard from doing their job of processing illegal entrants: Their job is to defend the border against invasion. Per the dusty old forgotten unused manuscript we called the Constitution.
Speaker Johnson is morphing into McCarthy on many issues. Hey Mike, time to grow a set of titanium onions, knuckle up, and either cut off the money for the govt, or start the indictments.
Nah.
Mike Johnson is showing us who he really is. Are we surprised? I am sure he has redeeming qualities, we just are not privy to them at this stage.
McCarthy is who he has always been.
No one is different, the Deplorables are awakening and under no illusions now.
Things will never be the same once we see the light of truth.
So this reads that this latest drill is “hosted” by none other than Tony Gonzalez. Another Texas poster for “-R” sellouts. His idiot constituents will send him back next selection. Another performative trip to the border. WTF for? You think these criminal incompetents ever heard of Ben Berquam and Oscar Ramirez and their coverage on Real Americas Voice. NO ONE covers this invasion more extensively, every day, for the past three years. What a sham. Johnson is zero more than an extension of Boehner>Ryan>McCarthy. Besides even this they’re out of time on everything else they’ve sold out – 11 months left and they’ve actually done LESS THAN NOTHING. By 2024 Nov. they won’t even have a “majority”, which they never actually had to begin with other than a “-R” count with these cowards now resigning by the week.
Perfectly stated.
I had high hopes for Mike Johnson. As time continues he seems very lack luster and part of the Uniparty in DC. One wonders if Mike has any more than rhetoric..?
The House is no longer a seat for representatives; they become hostages the minute they take the oath to their fellow politicians, not to US.
Captives instead of free thinkers and actors instead of open minded; nothing off the cuff, their speeches are prepared for them……..they answer to the dollars for their next campaign to be a success.
Win one election and they are right onto the next campaign…..and they have to ‘earn’ the millions needed to run.
Johnson has good intentions, but he knows his job description only too well………
Look, Mike Johnson did a complete 180 when he became Speaker. He folded like a Walmart beach chair.
You could actually see it happening in real time, before your eyes. He withered and crumpled into that cheap seat.
Mike Johnson, Mike Pence et al – C.I.N.O. Christians in name only. Christians have the mistaken idea that they are just supposed to be nice in all situations. NO! May it never be! We Christians are to be SALT and LIGHT. The light shines on the evil behaviors, salt is abrasive and has healing powers. These C.I.N.O. types have fallen for the “political correctness” directive by Marxism. “PC is Marxism dressed up as manners” ~ Charlton Heston (if I remember this source correctly).
Charlton Heston, the male human who said, “Get your goddamn hands off of me!!” – Planet of the Apes
“From my cold,…dead,…hands!” and said with an intensity to where the unsaid ending of Motherf*ckers was self evident.
“Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!”
Johnson had no real credibility to damn begin with except for the BS hopes of his co-sellouts. What did he bring to the tablke to begin with besides BS? Nothing. I was not duped.
Yup, 60+ repubs will go down NEAR the border, stand around clutching their pearls along with their coffee, kick the sand and exclaim how Biden and his cohorts are hurting the country….then they’ll slither back to DC and desperately try to figure out a way to stall till it’s, like, spring break or something so they can disappear again for 2 or 3 weeks vacation, hoping their constituents won’t notice they are doing NOTHING!!! Sorry, rant off.
I certainly hope that we are not interrupting their holiday vacations for this dog and pony show.
No worries, they waited until after their full vacations to pull this stunt during what should be now putting their words into actions since Tuesday.
I hope they are bum rushed by the bums and severely trashed.
Is any decent MAGA person running in the primary to oust him from office?? We could send him $$$ and at least get him out there in the public eye to make Johnson look like the coward he is.
What is just as bad is that the dhimocrats are now all in a worry about the southern border and wondering what they can do about it.
The only reason that Chamber of Commerce Republicans go to the border is to hold a job fair.
It’s cold and dreary in DC. The 60 delegates and of course their entourages are going somewhere warm and sunny.
While there, they will get tons of photo ops and video clips they will use to send out fundraising emails and cards all year while they are running for reelection in November. None of them will even see a border, much less study the effects of unchecked invasion.
All 535 members of congress are thoroughly corrupt. Every. Single. One.
Abbot would have defended the border three years ago if his willful neglect wasn’t part of the plan to take down the US.
Abbott is a Bushie. He just does enough to dissuade voters from that fact to stay in office.
They may see some of the trafficed women/children, for in DEPTH, one on one or perhaps two on one INTERviews, …
if-ya-know-what-I-mean nyuh, nyuh.
Not Biggs. And maybe a couple of others.
I’m not going to pretend. Democrats vote in lockstep. If a vote came to the floor to force a shutdown a swarm of republicans would join the democrats against it. To date puppet JoeBama has been fully funded. Systemic corruption in action.
Speaking of apropos. That image, eye of Sauron over DC.
This is now a moot point…….keep advocating and doing nothing.
There are 49 MILLION more illegal immigrants in the US; but they have permission to be here, after all they were sent for these reasons; invasion, disrupt the economy, diminish the people and empower the government, to usher in the NWO Communism. AND are they accomplishing their goals?? They actually think they have.
The main thing noticed is that the Uniparty was totally behind the scheme! They want to ‘help’ now, our borderS are totally unsecured, and voting remains status quo.
But politicians are advocating for Border – not borderS – security every chance they get; after all it is an election year.
We know the score, We know the end goal, We know how to follow the US Constitution to the letter. We know political rhetoric when We hear it, AND We know Our place.
God Help US
God Help US
Here’s how I thank Broc*0*bomination* for his Fundamental Transformation of America – (e f f f f f you very much)!
“…..heading to the border to see firsthand……”????? Are you kidding me???? Is this a stalling tactic or what???? This is insane and everybody with two brain cells to rub together can SEE what’s going on!!!! Republicans are worthless pieces OS.
“But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” ~ 2 Timothy 3:13
Photo op. They could go online, and view Ben Berquams many reports, and actually LEARN something.
As a MAGAdosian that is probably on there lists, IF my fingerprints weren’t already on file, along with my photo recognition, …I would go down, cross the border, get in line and come across, in ordervto generate alternate I.D. to use if I have to go “on the lam” or “Underground” at some point.
“Republicans will continue advocating” heh.
“We thought about it for a long time. ‘Republicans will continue advocating’. And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.”
Johnson. The first rattle out of the box he gave billions to Israel. That should’ve been a tell.
“CAN” and “WON’T” are two entirely different things
Do-Nothing RINOs are in the “WON’T” Camp
How do we fix this…seriously?
How do we fix it?
Legal voting.
Look at Argentina and Venezuela; pick the right approach and take notes. Or go back to US history.
Get out from under the ‘Monarchies’ behind the curtains in the USA. They promote dependence not independence. Being part of the ‘West’ is a burden more than freedom when We bow to monarchies.
Get US out of the UN, NATO, and all bureaucracies within the US ‘government’….
Then We can get to the real rot; social issues……restore morals, reawaken Our roots, restore humanity……
The tipping point was averted IMHO; now We have to clean up the debris in the wake.
When was it averted, by whom/what?
@hde0703 “How do we fix it?”
We can’t. Not politically, anyway.
The problems we face as a nation cannot be solved with politics.
Diplomacy is war by other means, …that is a way for Nations to resolve their differences, non-kinetically.
POLITICS is Civil War by other means,…that is a way for diverse elements WITHIN a nation state to resolve their differences, non-kinetically.
It is not our side that has destroyed any possibility of resolving differences non-kinetically.
Interesting parallel between the US now and the Roman Empire towards the end :-
https://thefederalist.com/2024/01/02/we-should-think-about-rome-but-not-for-her-glories/
PLGBTQA+ at that time was all that was important; same with Germany, Cuba, Venezuela wars…..just to name a few. Oh, and Sodom and Gomorrah. And the roaring 20’s and the 60’s leading the way to PLGBTQA+ now in elementary schools. Feminizing males, masculinizing females, dehumanizing and all it’s ugly games are out in the open.
PLGBTQA+ along with getting rid of God and Guns was the ways and means to tip the US and start a major civil war; too bad it’s failed. So unlike Rome IMHO We live to fight another day and clean up the mess left behind.
First make sure the governor of Az is a Democrat. Now be sure to use Az as the entry point given how Texas is still a problem. Texas will have to wait for another election cycle.
Don’t forget, the Dems control New Mexico already.
And Californicate also controlled by Dems.
Texas controlled by Bushie Republicants, so same difference.
The last person needed to do the heavy lifting required to save this country is a acclaimed pious politician. They will either get rolled or have some dirt (ever so small a piece of dirt) that can be used as leverage. Inglorious bastards are needed.
Human trafficking is a business – therefore supply and demand are at work.
On the supply side of the equation, thousands of people enter our country daily illegally and are facilitated by the federal government as they travel northward into indentured servitude.
On the demand side, businesses who seek cheap labor, lure illegals with the promise of good wages. The illegals are then caught in the vortex of owing money to the cartels who got them across the border and the new “employer” who extorts their immigration status for silence for the slave wages and abhorrent living conditions. Both children and adults are involved. The children end up in our schools as adolescents who have no English skills, drawing resources away from traditional education.
The unholy alliance of the Dims who want cheap votes and a constituency dependent on government handouts coupled with chamber of commerce rinos whose business model depends on subservient wages is established.
The complicity of the fed government is pervasive in this invasion and is, moreover, it is setting the stage for the thousands of military aged males to conduct attacks on high visibility targets, triggering marshal law prior to the general election
After two terms in Congress everyone becomes a swamp rat. Money and power are more addicting than any drug.
There is no “loyal opposition”. They are wings of the same bird whose only aim is self-aggrandizement. They are all liars and whores. I am fatigued by the investigations that lead nowhere. Let’s look at the bank accounts of all these people to see exactly by whom they are purchased..
AOC went to the border, too. Maybe Mr. Johnson can take her along on his trip – she can point out the chainlink fence she wept before, and Mike can re-enact it for the cameras.
He didn’t force you. Biden did. When the Covid -19 issue first came up, they lied to HIM as well. Many people should be prosecuted for their part in this lie to him, the American (& world!) citizens.
Correct. PDJT never forced anyone to get the dangerous non-vaccine vaccine. He may have been given a placebo and not the real shot and that’s why he never had any symptoms. I’m so sick of the Systemic Abuse of all things America!
Trump continues to brag about Operation Warp speed.
His ego won’t let him admit the vax is deadly. I have a big problem with that side of his personality.
I lost a good friend, a neighbor, and two of my relatives had strokes due to that damn vax.
Who forced them to take? Not Trump.
Trump offered freedom to choose…it was CreepyJoe forced
There was something very hidden about Dems motives concerning the vaccine…..I believe Trump caught on and made them change direction….Remember when Cameltoe was urging no one take the shot…..Now they push for it….why do you think that is?. Why they changed their game plan I do not know ….but I think Trump knows the current version of the vaccine has bad side effects. I also believe that if he were to come out and start saying that ….the dems would turn it on him. The most important thing at the time was fro him to stop the lockdowns that did far more damage than the vaccine….pick your poison.If he came out know saying the shot is bad than he would hurt his chances for office. He is not advocating for anyone to get the shot but instead touts his warp speed which DID save allot of lives by ending lockdowns. This is just one scenario to a situation that the details are too complicated and too hidden to know for sure.
So sorry for your losses. Blaming then President Trump serves no real healing for you or anyone else. I wish you well.
You may had hear something similar… this is my take:
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. . Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. The birds started building nests in the boards of my patio. Then came the poop. It was everywhere. The birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And other birds were obnoxious and loud. They sat on the feeder and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanding that I fill the feeder when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn’t even sit in my own back garden anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in five days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be … quiet, serene, inviting and no one demanding their rights to a free meal, etc.
Similar to our current government giving out I phones, subsidies, housing, free medical and free education… plus a draw for anchor babies with automatic citizenship. Illegal police with the ability to arrest American citizens, Illegal military recruits to turn on Americans. Illegals flood our borders now. Our taxes have gone up to pay for their free services. The Fed prints anxiously. We wait hours to be seen by an emergency service and days/months for a Dr appointment. Our children classes are behind because half the class doesn’t speak English. Cereal comes bilingual. I have to press one just to hear English to pay a bill, call my bank, etc. Foreigners flood our streets waving their own Country’s flag and demand more rights and free liberties.
TAKE THE DAMN BIRD FEEDER DOWN NOW!
I anxiously await the day President Trump gives us back our beautiful backyards. There is a right way and an established precedence to Nationalize. Respectfully, let’s keep it fair and honor our traditions.
If you give it away, they will come.
You get whatever behavior you reward.
Our immigration system USED to reward those who were self sufficient, and willing to work hard.
Now, it calls out to those around the World that are looking for the free ride,.and so thats what we get.
I’ll keep advocating for revolution.
Sundance has been out front on this for a long while – certainly more so than most pundits. The fantasy machine we call the media entertainment business has kept most of us in the dark for decades maybe even centuries. The elites that run the world pass the power baton onto their children as has been done since men crawled out of their caves. The internet has provided both power to educate as well as manipulate. Our founding fathers managed to extract us from the central bank families which worked for perhaps one or two generations. Since the Civil War we have been entrapped once again. It is time for a renewal of our rights and freedoms by destroying the monopolistic banking mafia.
I knew it, I just knew it. Johnson was never going to do anything substantial, but aren’t we glad Republicans are having “hearings” and “advocating”? While the commies burn the world down? But isn’t he “honorable”, “honest”, and “respecting out constitutional norms”? And just stop, McCarthy wasn’t about to do anything, either. Gates was right to poke that hornet’s nest. You’ve gotta try to beat these bastards.
I was crucified here by the “hopium addicts” when I suggested Johnson was just another con. “Hopium” is a hard habit to kick, but I’ve been clean for almost 15 years now. This was such an easy tell when Republicans all supported him. Republicans give wimps a bad name.
I think Gaez started an awakening and now a fight that needs to be had. These phony’s who think this is the way they are suppose to conduct DC business are really not smart enough to be there. These are dumbed down pawns that the big club lets in.
My rep, who is supported by individuals but didn’t seem to make a difference when it came to his following the lead of GOPe…..I just think he wasn’t smart enough to be there….to lead…..to be aware of the dangerous policies and goals….doesn’t know how to step up on an issue. DUMB.
And yet the American people do nothing but hem and haw about the corruption in DC.
We have lost because we won’t do the hard but necessary cleansing of the country.
See you all in the gulag.
“Tweeting doesn’t do anything”
Well it took down Bud Light, Target, Disney, and the woke President of Harvard Too…
Twitter/X was a small part of those take downs.
You give too much credit there.
Shiney toys while they win the big battles. Those wins required very little hard work or personal threats to our well being.
Is that a pic of the Fab-Fed-Four?
Must be taking a break from cutting the concertina wire.
them – We are from the government and we are here to help.
us – Please don’t.
California to Give All Illegals Free Healthcare
Newsom extends free healthcare to 700,000 illegal immigrants despite record budget deficit
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/newsom-free-california-healthcare-illegal-immigrants-new-year
Cloward-Piven working as planned…
CA ,which is totally controlled by marxist dems ,who were put there by the cheat system….CA is a good example of where we are heading……total takeover…..
Right now we are beginning to realize we have NO representation in this government…the only solution is to stop funding it , and stop complying with this illegitimate governments edicts, EO, mandates…..It has to be done by we the people.
Think about it, we do not benefit by our own tax dollars, our govt does not provide protection of our home land, we have a corrupt Justice system that protects not us but them. Heck we can’t even get decent healthcare, roads, bridges, airports, safe medicines, safe food. We have no country, it has been taken from us….so we must replace it.
Forget about your rep doing anything, they will not. As a collective, they are not smart enough to know the solutions. This is a situation that is reminiscent of the period of our revolutionary war. Most of the country at that time was agnostic and did not care to rock the boat much less risk their lives in the pursuit of life, liberty or freedom. But it was the minority that fought for the right to create Constitutional Republic.
I like Speaker Johnson, but the Republicans are ineffectual. They can’t govern. Contrast what Pelosi did with just the House with what ANY Repub since Gingrich has done. She, awful as she is, was effective. All Gophers do is talk about what they would do if the only had the Senate too. Then when/if they get the Senate they carp that they don’t have the presidency. Then like in 2017 and 2018 if they DO get the presidency too, if he wants to DO anything, they work with Dems to get him out of there. We need a new party.

Whitney Webb has written a two-volume tome titled One Nation Under Blackmail, which explains in great [and thoroughly footnoted] detail how the FBI is essential similar to an extension of the mafia.
I suspect that when Mike Johnson or ANY other politician says that they do not have the power to do X or Y or Z what they really mean is that the FBI (or the CIA) has their nuts in a very firm grip and they do not want to see various members of their family and/or various dear friends die a horrible death, which has been explained to the ‘powerful politician’ in great and convincing detail.
It really is too bad how JFK had that nasty experience in Dallas…
Mike Johnson’s Office: 202 225-4000.
Call and tell him, do not suggest, that they stop all foreign aid, since it’s needed to keep their felons off our soil. Stop the invasion!
just did….
As an erdept physician, Potus Trump never forced me to take/not take shot…..if you took, your choice.
Freedom to take or not…..thanks Trump👍

So we get to pay for their trip and all we will ever get in return is a few sound bites that they will promptly use for fund raising purposes. Lather, rinse, repeat. Wake me up when the Republicans actually do something to fix the problem. And a BS bill that they already know can’t pass and won’t solve the problem anyway, don’t count. The laws to fix this already exist. It’s just a matter of having the political will to enforce them.
Is anyone as sick of these polished lawyer politicians as I am?
It is primary time in America….if you have a RINO in any position in your district /state that you vote in, you had better have selected a MAGA to run against them….
If not……..you know the drill…….
