At a certain point after following politics closely, you move away from reacting to events and begin to focus on proactively predicting events. You start to develop a mental tuning fork that finds the frequency of DC compromise. In essence, you begin to assemble data and take notes on visible activity that indicates compromise.
Those notes then becomes predictive data and you keep it visible for later reference when trying to review motives and motivations for the DC schemes. Generally, if you keep close watch and take good notes, you will catch around 80% of the public datapoints that highlight the path of the political compromise. Things that make other things make sense.
The origin of MTG’s dark motives and her individual compromise originates in the timeline of her marital breakup, sexual exploits with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and eventually divorce. MTG, Lauren Boebert and Sean Hannity all have this origination timeline in common. I’m not sure what originates the Deep State compromise with Massie yet, when that initial touch took place, but I do know it goes back much further in the timeline of his congressional tenure.
Thomas Massie now joins with MTG in calling for the removal of Speaker Mike Johnson.
Let there be absolutely no doubt, removing Johnson right now is giving the speaker gavel to Democrats. This Machiavellian way to remove Donald Trump has always appeared to be the Deep State insurance policy.
When the U.S. Supreme Court reinstituted Donald Trump on the federal election ballots of the five leftist states who removed him, the high court noted that disqualifying a person from presidential office could only be done by congress, not by the individual states.
If the Democrats take control of the House, disqualifying Donald Trump from federal office will be the purpose of their first legislative act. They already hold the Senate. They will do this. Thomas Massie knows this.
So, ask yourself, who exactly is controlling the action of Thomas Massie; remember, he’s the former endorser of Ron DeSantis on behalf of the Sea Island multinationals (banks). Does the question answer itself?
Accept things as they are, not as you would prefer them to be.
When we *think* we have found the bottom of the corrupt and conniving state within the DC system… Pause, have a nice cup of coffee, then remind ourselves we’ll never find the bottom of this level of corruption; it’s ‘effen bottomless.
*AHEM*… Gnome’ sayin?
WASHINGTON DC – […] Massie’s decision was not well received during the meeting, according to several members in the room. And Republicans across the conference, including some members of the Freedom Caucus, quickly pushed back on the idea of booting Johnson, noting it would spark chaos without a clear successor — a repeat of the House’s nightmare in October.
[…] Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said after Tuesday’s conference meeting that he still thinks they can avoid a vote to terminate Johnson’s speakership. But one GOP lawmaker, granted anonymity to speak candidly, was less optimistic: “Folks are very discouraged. … We are screwed.”
The simmering rebellion isn’t a total surprise after Johnson on Monday evening announced his plans to send four separate bills to the floor — on aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, plus a fourth with other miscellaneous provisions. That sparked pushback from Greene and some other conservatives, who have long opposed attempts to send further cash to Ukraine. And that opposition to Johnson could grow as the week goes on.
His first major hurdle on that package will be getting it through the Rules Committee, where hardliners of his conference hold three GOP seats. But he’s expected to succeed there; while conservatives could block the bill if they unite with Democrats on the panel, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said on Tuesday that he will vote for the rule, which sets the parameters of the House’s floor debate, in committee.
But it gets tougher from there. To even bring the package up on the floor, Johnson will need a majority of the House. And given conservative opposition he’s almost certainly going to need Democratic support. Typically, the minority party does not help on so-called rule votes, but some have signaled they’d make an exception for Ukraine aid. (read more)
Our corrupt government will not be cleaned with the ballot box.
No, because the fundamental problem isn’t with the SYSTEM, its with the PEOPLE running the system.
However, WE will only act when backed into a corner with no hope of non-kinetic resolution.
And its only when we have 2024 play out to resolution, including “giving it our all”, voting both smarter and harder, early and often, and pushing the Globullusts to go “too far” that we reach the point of back against the wall.
For me, it really doesn’t matter WHICH of several coarses they pursue, to keep PDJT out of the Oval.
THEY seem to believe so long as they can claim some figleaf of legitimacy “SCOTUS SAID we could!” that the MAGA massed will accept the unacceptable.
To which my feeling is “make my day”, but “be very careful what you wish for.”
My concern and more and more becoming a belief is Trump will win the vote. He will never sit in the WH again because of the total corruption in DC. I hope I am wrong, but two scenarios look probable. Incarceration for life or total take over of the congress by Dems with impeachment and removal if the incarceration thing fails.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary———-
If President Trump wins the election he can pardon himself and his aides that were charged! He can also have the DOJ shutdown the Georgia and New York cases by releasing all of the exculpatory evidence!
PDJT might be the only thing saving them from us. Bit ironic.
I remember explaining the 2020 election fraud to my sister. She’s a normie, basically a NPC. She was shocked, couldn’t believe it. “How could they get away with that? People would be arrested!”
I explained to her the people who should be doing the arresting ARE the ones who committed the crime.
Eventually she decided I was a nut, she put her faith in MSM news proclaimations that the 2020 election was the most secure election ever and there is absolutely no truth to the allegations of “widespread” voter fraud. Joe Biden won fair and square, because more people voted for him and President Trump is just a sore loser. And his followers are brainwashed by his lies.
UncleGrumpy, you are so right! Mussolini comes to mind as an appropriate cleaning method, however.
Nothing wrong that can’t be fixed with a tall lamp post and a short rope.
I agree. The government has complete control now. And they know we will do nothing. Most Americans have too much to lose: nice houses, 3 cars, retirement, vacations, 4 meals a day, an easy life.
That’s because the zuckerboxes were cleaned by BetaBoy.
Wisconsin voters pass law to BAN Zuckerbucks in elections

It is abundantly clear we are governed by traitors. I fear Tom Clancy had a glimpse of the solution, but he was thinking too small.
Tom Clancy was the ghostwriter for the intelligence community. Propaganda for those that love government jackboots.
Among the many authors whose work I once enjoyed, but I can no longer find pleasure in stories about heroic feds.
The Gray Man books are better. The CIA is corrupt, a former agent is on the run and kills bad actors from The Company with regularity.
Clancy was clueless about Islam. Claimed mohammad was a wonderful man. Coulda researched a little better.
Nice day today, no?
Yes, the sun is out, the breeze is light, the spring flowers are out, the birds are singing and I’ll go for a walk again today with some of my military gear, getting in shape for what is to come. Old guys have a bad habit of their ego writing checks their bodies can’t cash so I’m learning my limitations.
Fortunately, we can gear up where I live and carry everything, including rifles and pistols, openly. Dang, that stuff is heavy.
It’s a good day to be alive. Peace through strength. 👍
Agreed – never thought I would move to plastic, and etc.
Every day as you say. Be blessed.
At over seventy, I don’t suspect I would be called upon to serve our country. However, I plan to stand in the breach of the wall of civilized living, as long as I may.
Gardening is my Zen time. Peppers and tomatoes are really taking off. Already fruit on both. No car sounds. Only birds singing and a view of the greened up mountain, half mile away.
Sounds like Heaven to me! 💕
Yes, balance is important. Physical training is relatively brief, a couple hours, then there’s the rest. Fortunately, where I live and train, in the forest, I can stop and enjoy the flora and fauna, hear the creek running, and view the dunes and the ocean beyond from the treeline.
I have a greenhouse but TBH it’s my neighbors with long hours of sun who have the best gardening possibilities. My contribution is a lifetime of working in ‘big ag’ in CA and the lessons learned from that work which might apply.
As always, part of a ‘good day’ is interacting with and reading the missives of the fine ladies and gentlemen of the Treehouse. 🙂
It sure is a beautiful day here in the Ozarks.
In middle of West Coast of FL, as well.
I got a lot done. It was a beautiful day that allowed me to work on my yard, which I created for my little dog, Chipley, who just couldn’t get enough of playing and exploring in it. Chip and I used to roll around in the grass wrestling until we both got too old for it. Now, I keep the lawn going as well as I can. It gives me great pleasure when I see that fresh cut lawn and all of the bushes and trees around it. My wife has a small garden out behind the shop and Chipley used to literally help her with the planting and harvesting every year. I think this is why my wife still plants those little tomatoes that Chipley used to remove from that garden. Chipley was an animal who knew pure love. God taught me a lot with that animal.
Thanks for all the good comments today. Even us old folks need to live our best lives every day. Sundance is right about that.
Well, just like that Paul Ingrassia, (MAGA, NYC) has a substack on this very issue:
https://open.substack.com/pub/paulingrassia/p/mike-johnson-must-exhibit-stronger?r=pezdl&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Does the 14th Amendment require the disqualification to pass with a 2/3 or super-majority? The 14th requires a super-majority for reinstatement, but it says nothing about removal. Any other removal of the executive office does require a super-majority.
This is all a futile exercise. First, for the 14th Amendment to apply you would need a conviction for insurrection, of which President Trump was never even charged.
Second, apart from the insurrection hurdle, any law put in place by the Democrats will have been targeted at one individual in the current election and could not be enforced against President Trump due to Article I Section 9 of the Constitution prohibiting Bills of Attainder and Ex Post Facto laws.
Third, if the court looks at the history of the 14th Amendment with respect to this issue, it could be ruled that it was meant to deal with the outcome of the Civil War and the Confederacy. To my knowledge, there has been no related case since the civil war era that has ever been brought dealing with this issue. The SCOTUS doesn’t like the use of novel theories in cases brought before them.
Has President Trump ever been a member of the Confederacy? Seems to me the 14th dealt with former members of the Confederacy.
Insurrection 101:
American Revolution
French Revolution
Haitian Revolt
American Civil War
Sepoy Mutiny
Boer Wars

…are you following the pattern here?
You are assuming TPTB would follow the law.
If we are at the point of doubting the law ever being followed, then we are dead as a constitutional republic.
Which is EXACTLY what the left wants.
Ever heard of lawfare?
I wouldnt celebrate just yet.
Thank you. Now we will see if there is still the rule of law in this country
No, its not about ‘rule of law’, obviously the Globullusts of the Uniparty have no interest in following the rule of law, as they are following the ‘might makes right, rule of man’ model.
However, they thrive on the ILLUSION of legitimacy; much of their resources are expended on creating/maintaining the illusion, and its instinctive they will do NOTHING which would tear down that illusion.
Thats why they will NOT “simply cancel the elections” as some predict, nor (I believe) will they have Congress vote to exclude PDJT from the ballot.
Thank you for pointing out that this is a “chicken little” false narrative.
Along with the Indictments, it CAN be used as an argument to justify the R party trying to withhold the nomination from PDJT, and I personally think that is its purpose.
Six of one, half dozen of the other.
A sad case of
Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t know.
Between a RINO rock and a Dem hard place, to coin a phrase or two.
In agreement with Sundance’s assessement.
So when is Trump going to tell MTG to shut the F UP and get with the program. These Rinos think they are safe from these D RATS, they should look at history and see what Stalin and Lenin did to their political enemies and those useful idiots.
It doesn’t matter because they are being blackmailed.
BobBoxBody: These politicians would need to have some shame, or a conscience, or guilt, or fear of repercussions, to be blackmailed. Thus, they cannot be blackmailed.
MTG is peculiar congress critter. On some issues I agree with her whole heartedly.Her political instincts are suspect- this particular issue of the speakership is a prime example. It means Hakeem gets the gavel and the evil doers fashion a law to keep Pres.Trump from being sworn in.
She’s got enough mouth for another row of teeth!
Pretend I just crawled out from under a rock. MTG had an affair with McCarthy? Is this absolutely true?
I know there were suspicions, and I knew here marriage was on the rocks, but honestly, the kind of fighting
that is needed in the current game of poetics, would be a strain on any marriage, especially if the spouse wasn’t
all in and committed to the cause.
How does a human being – MTG – go out there day after day saying the exact thing that
MAGA wants to hear but is actually lying and trying to put the dems in charge to eliminate Trump?
There isn’t enough ink in the world to explain MTG to me.
Bannon has been calling for ousting Johnson for a long time already.
Russ Vogt on his show yesterday was asked.
“Won’t removing Johnson give the gavel to Hakeem?”
Russ Vogt says there is no way that happens, not enough votes.
She was awfully chummy during the vote to put McCarthy in …..
Hakeem becomes Speaker only if a few Republicans vote for him…..or abstain from voting.
Well, don’t put either of these past them. Republicans aren’t known as ‘the stupid party’ for nothing.
Of course, this begs the question of whether Speaker Johnson is actually trying to get himself removed? Presenting himself as a conservative Christian, MAGA adjacent congressman, he has spent the entirety of his short speakership acting no differently than Nancy Pelosi, possibly worse, on every major decision. Impeaching Mayorkas means nothing if you refuse to use your leverage to secure the border. Releasing J6 footage in drips and drabs mean nothing if you fund a new FBI building without FISA reform. To say he has been a complete disappointment would be an understatement. So was he put in place to continue poking the base in the eye so we would eventually do something stupid? I now think probably.
But the only thing that matters now is the White House. We have no hope of returning to self-government without President Trump back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I distrust everything that makes me want to even remotely jeopardize that hope.
Hard pass, MTG.
I was thinking the same thing about Johnson. He sure made it a point to get rid of Santos quickly, and has done nothing to exercise leverage, which he has, over the timing of GOP resignations from the House. It’s as if he wants to shrink the GOP majority to let Dems take the House. If so, what MTG and Massie do won’t matter other than to let them show their bona fides to the base. Maybe that’s what they are doing.
There are only a couple of sources of unlimited funding, available to Senate or House Candidates.
The DNC or RNC CAN funnel unlimited $, through the State Party, for “party building” efforts that ostensibly aren’t for a specific candidate, even tho they really ARE.
And, the Dems have the DCCC, and the R’s the RNCC, with the Party leadership in the House and Senate (McConnell and now McJohnson fir the R’S, Hakkeem and Schumer for the D’s) able to DIRECT or WITHHOLD those $ from a candidates campaign.
IF your D opponent has access to such unlimited $, and its withheld from you,…you can not win.
So, first off understand EVERY Republicanin the House or Senate is there because the 3 Mc’s PUT them there.
And second, understand that McJohnson can dictate to any R in the House,,how they will vote, etc. based on the threat of withholding such $ next election.
Maybe, but I know Hawaii Republican Party was fined $60,000 by the FEC in 2022 over money “funneled” through HRP. Could be due to how it was accounted for.
Exactly! Remember, Bob Menendez still has his Senate position. The Democrats showed no interest in removing him. Johnson could have done the same and simply pointed to the Senate Democrats when criticized!
Mike Johnson fancies himself as a “War Time Speaker!”
Thomas Massie
@RepThomasMassie
Johnson: “I regard myself as a wartime Speaker.”
Massie: “Get a grip; we are not at war. You can’t use that as an excuse to justify passage of warrantless spying, a bloated omnibus, or $100 billion in foreign aid.”
David Sacks
@DavidSacks: “Mike Johnson proclaims that he is a “wartime speaker” but what war is America in? America does not need to be in any wars unless the fools in Washington make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
Mike Johnson joined the Biden’s war on Americans!
If he were from south Texas it would follow.
We have been at war since, at the latest, January of 2019.
President Trump said so, Pompeo said so.
Our enemy is global. Our enemy is occupying the nation state of the District of Columbia.
So,he’s not exactly wrong.
Exactly, the Washington DC Uniparty is at war with us! We just didn’t realize it until now.
CCP has been at war with US for several decades, most decidely since Tiananmen Square, relying on many types of subversion.
Sundance for VP!!!!
Didn’tcha read that rfk jr just announced that Team Trump has invited him to be VP? Kennedy must be smoking again.
wtf and h3!! NO.
it sure looks like Kabuki theatre to us earthlings and Martians
Which is why earth is bypassed when aliens go in search of intelligent life.
The search for intelligent life, anywhere in the Universe is ongoing, but so far unproductive.
“Accept things as they are, not as you would prefer them to be.”
I did that a long time ago. Babylon DC is the most corrupt city on the planet, and has been for a long time.
Jefferies, johnson? What difference does it make? The uniparty has already shown that they INTEND to block DJT at every turn, so I dont think there will be any difference in outcomes whether the dim or repub side has control of the house. Theres not much that I can do about it except pray, and that is the FIRST thing we all should do during times like this.
Right now I am focused on my state of WY, and the uniparty slight majority who is hell bent on turning my state into Colorado. My state rep lives within an 8th mile from me, good man, and when I see him in his yard I have the opportunity to chat with him. My state senator, who has recently become more conservative during the last session, has announced he will not seek another term. Our county commissioners ALL need to be voted out of office, save one, along with our city council. Both seem to be focused on what special interests want (CoC), than what the citizens want.
PRAY for Donald Trump. PRAY for the uniparty to remove their blinders, and act on what the people want.
GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!

on both of their parts. Eyes wide open
They’re probably fundraising off of this issue.
Both sides of CONgress prove they do not represent ‘we the people’ and are in fact only representing their billionaires and deep state handlers.
Perhaps it’s time to put a fork in the illusion that CONgress represents us as they only can be counted on to usher in forced fuedualism. Or on second thought, a pitchfork.
Sorry, feeling annoyed. Guess I best go pull more weeds out of the garden to relieve frustration.
I’m not in favor of replacing Johnson this close to the election (especially after the mess repubs made in electing him in the first place). And, it is hard not seeing most of the damage by his leadership this term has already been done.
I am just sick and tired of the sh*t leadership Repubs keep giving us.

Ingrassia: Mike Johnson Must Exhibit Stronger Leadership Over The House As President Trump Endures Political Persecution
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/ingrassia-mike-johnson-must-exhibit-stronger-leadership-house
The only obstacle to this obvious ruse is past precedent, imo. Let’s assume that the GOPe will cede the House PRIOR to the election, (which seems obvious to me at this point based on this post itself, Santos, Gallagher, etc.).
The Dems would then pass legislation barring eligibility for POTUS based on the 14th amendment, Section 3, by simple majority. The Senate could simply alter their rules to pass the legislation by simple majority as well. These two instances are perfectly plausible, in-fact, you will likely get the requisite Senate votes to pass the filibuster threshold.
OK, so now you can’t be POTUS under the new legislation, but how do they circumvent another actual impeachment and conviction to enforce? I don’t believe SCOTUS would allow enforcing that law in the absense of a successful impeachment conviction. Also, can a person be impeached and tried for the same supposed crime twice, (double jeopardy?), which would be the exact circumstances here, since Trump was already impeached and acquitted of that charge.
There are so many constitutional issues involved here that it isn’t funny. Good luck to the Democrats if they think they can get away with this. They couldn’t find a better way to lose the November election.
The COTUS issues are nothing new to those of us fighting incursions on 2A for decades. What matters is enforcers. If the enforcers are siding with the Communists attacking COTUS, then the attacks have a lot of teeth in them and we’ll IMO ultimately be forced to go kinetic to take them on.
The alternative is to turn those enforcers to our side to fight the Communists. That’s a very tall order but possible. Breaking the adherence to the unified chain of command is the most significant challenge IMO.
IMO, the election will be a significant footnote in the battles to come, little more. Win or lose, POTUS or not, PDJT and patriots have a long haul and many battles in front of us. Prepare accordingly.
Not that different from President Trump’s first term, they would keep him so busy in court that there would be very little time left in which to institute needed changes to try to return at least some of the Leviathan to the Republic as originally designed, a condition none of TPTB will allow us and about which the media spokespeople are hysterical.
Personally, I don’t think the anti-MAGA forces actually believe they can successfully keep PDJT off the ballot, using this tactic.
However, the more doubt and controversy they can stir up, both thru talking up this coarse if action, and thru the indictments, the more they can try to justify the Party not nominating him at the Convention.
And, I believe they are intending an Insurance Policy 2024, of having a D majority House AND Senate, SO THAT they can initiate Impeachment as HR1 of the next session.
Your last point isn’t going to come to fruition. The Democrats are going to be destroyed in both the House and the Senate. Make book on it.
RB, that up vote came from me. Reading so much in the negative here so far I am agreeing for the spite of it.
Ditto, big time, FR! 🎯
MN has a fired up, no back down, navy veteran named Joe Fraser running to unseat that ugly nasty Amy Klobuchar. Saw him give a 5 minute speech at our local republican convention and he is a force to contend with. This will become national due to the lefty lovers adoration of Amy.
I disagree, as it is NOT “the Democrats” that are and must be destroyed, it is the Globullusts of the Uniparty that must be driven from positions of control.
And the weak half is and always has been the Republicon 1/2, take out that wing, and the whole falls.
And you take it out, by forcing it to defend itself, and thereby expose itself, and that is what PDJT has been doing, starting with the escalator ride.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is compromised and looks to be on the make. Call me old fashioned, but she dresses like a teenager and shows no self respect. I know Congress, as a body, does not deserve respect. However, you don’t show up in skin tight pants and tacky blouse as a representative if you have self respect. She is a real disappointment.
Now do Sen Fetterman.
As are many other women these days.
Ridiculous and sexist.
Great speaker resigns and the Dems take over
Trump wins and the Dems refuse to approve the election
This is insane
He’s incompetent but he’s our incompetent
Nazi nan will again be speaker and destroy any and all of the Republic
As I see it, we be out of luck for the election already no matter how you count it.
And I’m sorry but people on the right just aren’t responding to all of this reality the way they should — admitting they are already captured and enslaved.
Here we are again where pursuit of principled leadership must be abandoned in order to retain a preferable failure.
At this point decepticon Mike J will probably introduce an anti Trump bill. Will that then be considered a “lose to win” strategy that we need to support?
DC is the biggest crock of self righteousness to ever to blot the face of the earth. At this point we’re just waiting for the purge.
Having found this site, have learned a great deal, and grown to be more patient under the process we are in here.
having been spanked is not necessarily agreeable, while needed in this Global internecine political and physical
conflict.
Gracious thanks to Sundance and others for their patience and foresight.

But God does.
He will use his chosen at the time of His choosing.
His timing is perfect.
Stand and watch the end of evil.
His promise to us.
I feel the slow collapse of everything we have known and a new beginning. Not of this world but from our Creator.
Folks, listen very, very closely to this, and understand what’s coming:
The freight train is just about here. Very little, if anything, can stop it.
We are in a recession. The trucks stopped rolling.
The answer to “they’ll just print money so it won’t move into a full scale depression ” ignores the geopolitical moves afoot.
Let me set it up for you:
Israel bombs the Iranian nuclear sites, alienating whatever part of the world isn’t already alienated.
Iran responds, and Turkey and China help.
The US does to Turkish and Chinese assets what it did to Russian assets (freezes them and imposes sanctions)
The Treasury market stops having any foreign buyers outside of the 5 Eyes countries and some EU countries.
T Bill interest rates skyrocket to 15 percent.
Every bank in America fails.
Not only can’t you get your money out of the bank, the USG just did a bail in and took 25 percent of everything of because “national emergency.”
Likely? Who knows.
Possible?
Yes.
Our debt is at 34.666 or so trillion. And counting.
Now, step back:
Who would you rather own it?
Johnson, or Jeffries?
Schumer, or [insert RINO here]?

My only gloss is that it has been years since Robert David Steele delivered his ultimatum.
So, whatever deals were going to be made, were already made. Years ago.
No Exit for the likes of Kinzinger, Schumer, and the Raskins.
I disagree here. It would take 2-3 House GOP to vote for a Dem Speaker, AND 9-10 GOP Senators to pass it over a filibuster, AND SCOTUS allowing the law to stand. The chances of SCOTUS setting a precedent that 1 party can remove the other party’s candidate from the ballot are extremely low.
A Speaker change would stop the Biden investigations, but does anyone really believe the weak-kneed GOP would actually vote to impeach Biden before the election?
No, but a change to Dem leadership would all investigations in which the republicans are at least using to leak out his criminal acts during his campaign. It would end all other Republican investigations also including J6, weaponization of IC, etc. The Dem senate would never vote to indict Biden anyway. Dems get control of the House all investigations will turn to “get Trump” once again.
I agree with you, but stranger things happen in this one Party system we have now.
Sometimes there just are no words.
Every single one of these fools should be fired.
None of them could survive in the real world, where “earning” your wage is actually required.
They have failed the American people to a degree that is indescribable, their arrogance is second only to their ignorance.
How the heck did we get here?
My posit of ‘how’ is buying in to the ‘dream’ to the exclusion of other necessities needing attention and our apathy borne of comfort and our collective ‘soft’ lives.
I certainly bought into the matrix, at least through the early 90’s anyway. Ironically, it was getting involved in the politics of our credit union as an officer on, of all things, loan committee, that opened my eyes and began the rise of skepticism as a driving feature of analysis.
Prior, being a business that built widgets, I was focused on solving problems and building stuff that made America go and didn’t really get into all the power struggle guile and deceit stuff. It was there but I ignored it. I bet that happens to a lot of us. Ignoring potential and real threats right in front of us. It takes a real smack in the face to wake us up.
“How the heck did we get here?”
Apathy, indifference, and ultimately, COWARDICE. 😡

Note: not all who apply get approved; gross numbers are provided above of those who attempted to obtain approval. The majority do get approved however. Critical point: this is being done at the state level. These numbers do not include those illegals who have gone directly to the Wisconsin DMV for a letter approving them to work in our state – this letter allows the illegals to register to vote. A state referendum did recently pass, on April 2nd, banning non-citizens from voting in our state. I ask, however, what about the ones who already registered over the years? What about all those letters/approvals given out in recent months? Are letters still being given out by the Wis. DMV? I submitted a public records request to the DMV to find out.
WI DMV website: Illegals can get form MV3004 to get a free voter ID. If they don’t have any documentation they can just check a box. Even a temporary visitor can get a voter ID.
That End Wokeness tweet has long since been debunked. When that tweet was published, the Texas election officials stated that total registrations since the start of 2024 was only 50,000+, and that was ALL registrations. The same is the case in PA and AZ. Someone misinterpreted data from the Social Security Administration.
I am noticing lately here on these pages that there is a lot of real misinformation being posted by many of the same people.
Notice Republican push back? Lawsuits, etc?
Nothing…Only thing we get is Rob B trying to shoot the messenger. Why such an over the top reaction Ron? suspicious
Speaker Johnson says he is a Christian. Therefore, I leave it to the hand of The Lord to deal with his problems. When I see his latest pictures I see sadness and defeat in his eyes.
Dead eyes.
Sundance states “The origin of MTG’s dark motives and her individual compromise originates in the timeline of her marital breakup, sexual exploits with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and eventually divorce. MTG.” What is meant by “sexual exploits”? Does it mean they engaged in a sexual relationship? I have never read any such thing about the two of them. Is there any proof certain of that? If so, could someone pass that along to me?
My conclusions about why she and her husband divorced and why she supported McCarthy during the impeachment period are totally different.
I’m in Georgia, not that…that really matters.
From my experience in the political world (another disgusting state), there are usually allegations, with not necessarily direct knowledge, but just a wink and a nod.
I have never heard or read any facts of a known sexual foray, sexual exploits or anything of that nature between MTG and McCarthy. Although, I realize it is possible.
In my opinion, the only people who know the TRUTH is MTG, McCarthy and , of course, God.
I am not in a position to judge anyone, especially when dealing with the world of politics. After all it is well known that it is the science of many blood-suckers.
Should we not just ride it out—accept the fact that there are too many traitors in the Republican party and at least keep the majority in title since it won’t happen in deed?
Hopefully, we can get Trump re-elected and start cleaning house then. Personally, if God wants to preserve this nation, He will. If not, then nothing we do will affect the outcome. Since we do not know the mind of God, let’s pray like it all depends on Him, and act like it all depends on us.
The issue of the speaker is just another method to achieve the same goal. All that needs to happen is 2 more RINO republicans decide to “resign” and the house majority automatically goes to the communists. The issue is the price of those 2 resignations are increasing exponetially, the last one will cost the most. Of course Soros will be willing to pay millions to have that happen.
Exactly money changes everything!!! If that happens and Congress removes President Trump as a candidate it will be a highly bipartisan effort no doubt! All the RINOs in the House and all the DeceptiCon Senators in the Senate will vote with the Democrats to remove President Trump and to hell with us We The MAGA People!!! Difficult, dark days ahead! God help us! Godspeed President Trump!
“Let there be absolutely no doubt, removing Johnson right now is giving the speaker gavel to Democrats. This Machiavellian way to remove Donald Trump has always appeared to be the Deep State insurance policy.…When we *think* we have found the bottom of the corrupt and conniving state within the DC system… Pause, have a nice cup of coffee, then remind ourselves we’ll never find the bottom of this level of corruption; it’s ‘effen bottomless.” – Sundance
We all know who blue tie wearing Massie works for.
I do not understand why Johnson has passed MAJOR BILLS ….
but not used those Bills to Force Biden to Close the Border.
It makes no sense at all.
He ‘got elected’ BECAUSE the guy before him – betrayed the Nation regarding the BORDER…
and boooom – here we are again.
Because the RINOs in the House GOP will NOT support any Bill that contains anything other than spending money we don’t have on Ukraine.
Because the GOP majority in the House is razor thin…and this empowers the RINOs.
I pose this question to everyone on this forum who moans and groans about what Johnson is doing or not doing — please explain to us all how Johnson or any other conservative holding the Speaker’s gavel gets ANYTHING done when all it takes is a handful of RINO squishes to oppose him?
Seriously…..what would YOU do if you held the gavel but was working with a meager 3 or 4 seat majority and upwards of a couple dozen of those in the GOP caucus absolutely HATE anything that conservatives want done?
The Speaker has leverage over members. No campaign support, no cushy lobbying job, harm the district in a way that member will be blamed for, no committees, and others.
It takes one special kind of person to learn the trade of “Herding the CATS”; cause that is just what this really amounts to.
Noise, noise, noise and more noise to inflict fear, panic, doom and gloom.
Strategy, strategy, strategy.
Stop.
Your defense is old and tired and holds no merit.
He has all types of influence he could have used, and processes he could have used time and time again.
He’s flip flopped so many times, I’ve lost count.
He had the power to table certain things.
He has power of the Capitol Police and could have released the J6 tapes as promised.
Intellectual dishonesty was addressed recently in a SD post.
Recall that the R’s had a BIG Majority in the House, that they were quite comfortable with, …..until DJT won.
THEN Ryan worked hard to eliminate the majority, so the House, like the Senate would be near 50/50, which is the way the Uniparty leadership, McConnell/Thune, Schumer, McCarthy/Johnson/Hakeem WANT it to be.
Oh please. He’s the Speaker. He accepted the leadership position, so lead. If he’s being undermined, he’s knows exactly who they are. Name them. Shame them. Hold a press conference and let everybody know who is holding up the show and why. There is so much he COULD do (ever see Nanzi have difficulty getting all-things-evil passed when she was in charge?). But he won’t because he is simply part of the charade. In fact, he’s now leading the charade.
Pelosi had the same narrow margins. You figure it out.
He hasn’t because he can’t. He can’t FORCE anybody to do anything. He has 1/3 of the pie, and they have the other 2/3. If you’re not in the majority, you’re not going to be forcing anyone to squat.
God has already seen the bottom….
It’d be Civil War.
The comments here are similar to the ones on Fox News who complain about MTG and Thomas Massie as if Mike Johnson were better, Mike Johnson is just another establishment rip-off, another neoconservative who now wants to finance Ukraine and all the wars abroad. , none of Mike Johnson’s policies are MAGA.
Didn’t know about the MTG sexual relationship with Kevin McCarthy. Anybody have the receipts? I know it is likely true, but I haven’t seen anything (yes, I googled it).
How do you (or anyone) know it is likely true?
Internet rumors? Neighborhood gossip? National Inquirer? Steele dossier 2.0 ?
Because Sundance made the reference in his opinion above… “The origin of MTG’s dark motives and her individual compromise originates in the timeline of her marital breakup, sexual exploits with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy…”.
I’ve not seen, with my own lyin’ eyes, any receipts of any such piece of information (mis or dis).
I was supposed to live my best life, but I keep coming here to get the latest news. It is never good!
You just haven’t yet reoriented to living in bizarro world.
In order for the masses to embrace real change, ‘things’ have to get really bad.
Ergo, ‘things’ aren’t yet ‘bad enough’ hence no real change,….YET.
Hence, every bit of ‘bad’ news is actually (bizarro world) GOOD news, because it is moving us closer to that ‘suddenly all-at-once’ point of REAL change.
Hope this helps,…
“Those that make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”
-John F. Kennedy
Anyone can make those types of sentences.
The same John F. Kennedy who started the Vietnam War never trusted a Democrat and never trusted anyone from the establishment.
Now your just teasing me,…cut it out!
Just disqualify Trump and be done with it and all the Reality TV drama that surrounds him endlessly.
Then the country will have to face the total sh*tshow that it has become without a distracting horse race drama. It is now a post-constitutional republic but most keep behaving like it’s business as usual with a few rotten apples in the barrel to pluck out.
The best thing conservatives can do now, I believe, is just let Biden and the goons who run him completely take over everything the way they want. They should boycott the election entirely and no vote at all. The Republican Party is a controlled opposition sham. Don’t vote for it.
Once it is clearly a one-party situation and quasi totalitarian with digital money etc. will people wake up and finally realize that the Union has failed and it is high time to secede from it, withhold consent, and chart a better course. Instead of putting their faith in a virtually non-stop every-four-years Presidential election cycle whose main function is to ensure that We the People never insist on or get substantive reform.
And in any case, what the post-constitutional US has now become is way too far gone to be reformed.
Consent needs to be withheld. Boycotting the election would be far more powerful than voting for anybody.
Is this is what Sundance asked us to watch out for? Trolls. Not even on topic about the speaker.
Obviously a paid plant advocating voter suppression because the left knows Trump is way ahead and RFK is just another weight taking Biden down even further.
Yes. Site is littered with them at the moment. Minions have been unleashed.
Ha ha ha! Not a paid plant. And it WAS about the Speaker though I didn’t spell it out: just let the Speakership pass to the Democrats which is where this is headed. Then they can pass a resolution that disqualifies Trump. And then the nation will have to look beyond these fraudulent, performative elections that people keep getting suckered into believing will make any difference, or actually ‘drain the swamp’.
If it helps: I hope I’m wrong and all you guys are right. I just don’t see any evidence for it.
Nope. Push on until November. Appropriate action afterwards if required.
The McCarthy-MTG hookup surprises me in a way and in a way it doesn’t. MTG seems like she gets around, and McCarthy seems like a player, but MTG isn’t all that attractive, at least not to me. I’d expect McCarthy to be with better looking women. But you never can tell-look at Arnold Schwarzenegger. Unattractive wife and even less attractive maid.
You’re really good at explaining your suppositions.
The claims about MTG’s motivation being driven by “sexual exploits” and the like, is just so much Freudian psychobabble.
Sundance made the reference to the sexual relations. We didn’t pull that out of thin air.
I really don’t believe there was a hookup. Made that comment earlier. If Sundance meant his wording to mean that, then I would like proof.
The speakership is already in the hands of Democrats.
I figured that Massie saw how well MTG was fundraising off going against Johnson on funding, and he wanted to get in on the action to raise money. These selfish Jokers are playing with fire.
You might be on to something there.
