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)

Most astute comment from above GP article:
John Wayne
What this does is shred the Constitution! There is provision in the Constitution requiring to try and Article of Impeachment, there is NO provision that allows the Senate to dismiss those Articles without trial!
And for the legislature to declare anything “unconstitutional” is a gross and criminal violation of the Separation of Powers clause that gives interpretation of the Constitution solely to the Judicial Branch!
This is a declaration against the American People that dissolves the legitimacy of our government!
Note the strenuous objections of Senate Republicans.
Right.
Senate Republicans make a theatrical show of opposing the Dems, but only after they have ascertained the Dems can ram their priorities through without any Republican support.
If a Democrat priority looks like it may not get through on its own then the RINOs all pitch-in to help drag it across the goal-line.
Case in point: The failure to repeal Obamacare in 2017. When Obama was in office to veto it the GOP was all in to repeal it. But once President Trump was there ready to sign it suddenly all their energy dissipated. Congressional Republicans wouldn’t even pass the same exact bill they passed repeatedly under Obama.
It’s all a charade. Kabuki theater.
The govment has been corrupted more and more since it was founded.
We The People have been pawns for many years.
DC power centralized control manipulates the population.
Sexual perversion in DC controls DC.
DC is a cesspool of corruption.🦨
District of Corruption.
I acknowledge you are posting a copy of someone else’s comment.
And I do not at all agree with the actions of the Senate majority in this matter.
But there is no “separation of powers” clause.
And although federal judicial power is, by Article III, “vested in one supreme Court” and any lower courts that Congress creates, this does not mean that nobody other than the courts can interpret the Constitution, or make claims about it, or take actions allegedly based on it.
Since the installation of puppet Alzheimer’s Joey they have been sh!t-ting ALL OVER the Constitution AND the country.
Didn’t they used to SHOOT traitors to the country ?!?!?! Thanks for the post, Josey !!
Massie is the next Mitch McConnell
MTG is so goddam ugly, and frankly, really really stupid, she is the MAGA AOC

> removing Johnson right now is giving the speaker gavel to Democrats.
In other words Republicans will vote for a Democrat Speaker before voting for a Republican Speaker. Those Republicans need to be named, or course Johnson will do no such thing.
j x: What would be different?
They would use all the resources of the House to bar PDJT from the ballot.
Many things would be different. All the committee chairs will flip over and will now be headed by Democrats. All the GOP special subcommittee investigations will abruptly cease and all their unpublished work will be shredded. Dem bills to federalize elections and to kick Trump off the ballot will sail through both houses.
And then the fake Republicans would use all that chaos to endlessly fundraise,
while wringing their hands and pretending they didn’t just orchestrate the whole mess.
Republicans regularly fundraise over their own disasters. For most of them, this is not a downside.
All the committees would flip….exactly why the RINOs will not vote a dem in for speaker……they had ample opportunity to do that before but did not , JMO but this is another fear tactic. ……
The democrats have the speaker’s gavel now. Mike Johnson gets rolled at every turn. Or he’s complicit in passing the Biden/Schumer agenda. Which he is.
If Johnson is still Speaker on Nov 5 Rs WILL lose the House. He is forcing candidates to campaign against him and destroying any remaining unity. Having a fresh start will get the stench of Johnson out of the conference and remove a huge obstacle to retaining the majority.
Massie is not forcing a vote. He is asking for 3 more cosponsors to find a replacement who can win unanimously, and upon that candidate’s selection will ask Johnson to resign his leadership.
If there is no consensus candidate then it goes no further. Massie is not conspiring to get Hakeem in as Speaker.
Thank You for explaining this You make sense. The Republicans are not that stupid are they?
Since MTG is the expert on who is defined as the perfect SOH, Lets give the gavel to her.
Thank you Greg, Massie did expound that he was not trying to pull a Matt Gaetz free for all but force Johnson to resign ala John Boehner in 2015 and try to have consensus on a Speaker chosen by the Caucus prior to any floor votes!!! I love this site but sometimes it can go to cuckoo conspiracy land!!! 🤔
plink
Massie is a deep state Rob DeSantis acolyte. He despises President Trump.
His role right now, along with Ms. Margie, is to help Rs turn the house over to D control. He and she have, and will be, paid handsomely. Divorces are expensive I hear..
The legislation to remove President Trump has already been written. It was written by Lawfare the day the SCOTUS ruled on the Colorado ballot access case.
A new D controlled House will pass it in record time and the Senate will be waiting in the chamber to vote the moment it does.
It then merely awaits the crooked signature of Crooked Joe Biden.
…plink…
Were you PLINKED on your head one too many times as a kid!!! 🥴
John Boehner did the same thing after screwing over Republicans. Gave them time to announce new speaker and vote.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the consensus Speaker candidate suddenly loses one or two “Republicans” when his nomination comes up for a vote on the floor after the Chair is vacated. You don’t think there are “Republicans” who will LIE to their own caucus to clear the way?
Neither is MTG.
Johnson sucks as Repub Speaker. But it will be worse if he’s removed. The problem is there are too many RINOs sitting as House Representatives. We must primary every single one of them when their terms end.
? Ah, you need to primary them before their terms end.
I have tried in vain, for years, to promote a tool to facilitate the removal of bad incumbents, via the formation and actions of “posses”, or “negative/punitive voting blocs”. The easiest way, by far, to remove an incumbent is during a primary. (See votersrevenge.info;) However, I have just recently thought about a poor man’s version which would focus just on RINO’s, that would utilize a Microsoft Web Platform called Sharepoint, where you could stitch together a barebones set of lists of citizens who are interested in removing a RINO from power. One list per RINO.
The actual organizing would be completely bottom up. The Sharepoint Lists would simply aggregate citizens, with a contact email and a zip code (for approximate geolocation, that is searchable by others so that they can figure out who in their district is easiest to meet up with, face-to-face).
The tool (it will never happen) is a constitutional amendment that requires all ballots to have the following choice: None of the above. That is term limits perpetually.
A Zero is better than a Negative. Johnson is a zero. Jeffriss would be a huge negative.
With new blood at the RNC, they will actually finance better conservative candidates and gain the House for Republicans. I am talking about retired military guys or life-taught patriots who give a damn about saving our Constitution, and our country.
Please lay off Speaker Johnson. We are beyond the point of eating our own; we’re sacrificing them on the altar of evil Dems who throw chaos at every turn. Then, there are the RINOs! Kick them OUT!!!
FFS we’re almost to the end of this session. Let it ride.
Pick a new Speaker in 2025, when God willing President Trump is president again, with a new bigger House Republican caucus that rode in on his coattails
Retired military guys like RINO Crenshaw you mean?
Johnson has been the biggest disappointment to me. Close 2nd is the one-eyed guy.
Give them power and they turn it against the people they represent.
repubes will always vote anti-maga
Not really anything to do with Johnson, they just want to oust Trump, cause a civil war, bring about the CBDC, and stamp on a human face forever. The Democrats are Hollywood Nazis, and at some point it needs to be pointed out, because Communists, they are not!
They are the tools of communists. For me? A distinction without a difference.
As was discussed on an earlier thread about the renewal of FISA, the ‘ruling party’ can call upon over one hundred so called Repubs whenever needed to suppress the republic, on any issue.
The Repubs have only been in charge so far as controlling committee chairs to ask ‘tough’ questions, followed by a sternly worded letter.
Their majority is another example of something allowed to continue the illusion of choice, IMHO.
Republicans are junior members waiting to be tapped to become full-fledged members of the Democrat party.
Good description.
These idiots are going to fool around and we’ll end up with Hakeem. I want the border closed and zero money for Ukraine until we do it; maybe no money for Ukraine AFTER our border is closed–but Mike seems to have forgotten the people.
Ha….but not “the People’s Purse”/s
I think they are going to continue fooling around not understanding what reindeer games can lead to.
This is FAFO territory now.
We are broke and in debt by $33 Trillion. No money for Ukraine or Israel, period! If we keep giving troublemakers billions of dollars they will keep making trouble. Stop the money and the fighting will stop!
We are simply perpetuating wars by funding wars.
We are so broke the international community started warning the US to stop spending. LOL
To be honest, I don’t really care anymore. I’m done with the right wing of the Uniparty (aka, the Republicans). It’s all fake.
Clearly they are a bunch of losers!
BE strong my Slothy friend….that is what they want…they want us to suffer from being “MAGA Weary”, with all they have put Trump through and continue to do so…
He is taking those slings and expensive arrows, for ‘us’….
Sadly, or to be expected as the case may be, the result of all this will be a Democrat controlled House and Senate in January (not that it is really much different than it is now).
there is not much of anything the Republicans can do at this point to save themselves. Not that they want to.
Dems will not get the Senate. Especially if Trump named JD Vance as his VP.
Johnson seems hell bent on getting himself kicked out. The fisa reauthorization that he could have changed his vote to being in line with the majority of his conference, instead he let’s the warrant aspect die in a tie. Now he claims to need to support Israel by funding ukraine, which is insanity since they already passed Israel funding!
The guy is doing the McCarthy Speakership speed run right now.
Massey says he wants Johnson to resign after getting unanimous agreement on who the next R speaker will be, but that’s a fools errand. Either they can’t come to an agreement, or a few of the rats will lie and not vote, which will give HJ the speakership.
You can choose your poison at this stage. Keep Johnson and the election removes him for us, or remove him ourselves and possibly lose the House with him packing it up.
The puke has us right where he wants us.
Either way the House majority is a goner after this latest betrayal. It has no where to go but out.
The country is loaded with godless media junkies who don’t GAS about anything but money, sex and status. There is no positive change coming before incurring a massive crisis.
Hakeem looks demonic.
Arent there some special elections coming up that will pad the GOP lead before the Nov. elections?
There is one in June for Buck’s seat.
“Hakeem looks demonic.” Because he is. He is a snake in the grass just as Satan was, in the Garden of Eden. An Obama protege.
He’s got the same Mongrel Green hue as jug ears.
Yes 2
Because he is.
There will be enough Republican votes in the Senate to prevent Trump from being removed from the ballot. They need 41 Republican votes to protect Trump and there are 49 Republicans in the Senate. Any Republican Senator who votes with Democrats will lose their seat in a reelection. Murkowski, Collins, Cassidy and Romney will cast their vote with the Democrats but that will be it. It won’t be enough. If a RINO like Todd Young votes with the Democrats, he will end his Senate career. He knows it too. For a friendly reminder of those Republican Senators who voted to convict Trump, here is the history. Trump is safe in the Senate.
Romney – Retiring
Sasse – Gone
Toomey – Gone
Cassidy – Will be gone in 2026
Burr – Gone
Collins – Will be gone in 2026
Murkowski – Would have been gone except for ranked choice voting
That seems like a fair analysis, but don’t count any RINO out yet. I do know that the reelection rates for incumbent senators has been almost consistently above 80% since 1982, and in many election cycles, it’s much higher than 80%.
What we need is a Congressional realignment similar to what happened with the Reagan revolution in 1980. As Open Secrets notes, years like that are an exception. It’s our job going forward to make this next realignment not an exception, but a rule.
https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/reelection-rates
Repeal the 17th Amendment. Have the State Legislatures elect the US Senators from the states, as it was until c.1913.
Respectfully disagree. I like the voters hiring or firing the Senators.
The 17th was orchestrated for the reason you state so outside influences could bribe or blackmail and/or engage in ballot engineering.
It was financed by the Banksters to tie in with the 16th Amendment and Federal Reserve Act.
Prior to the 17th, Senators were selected by the Legislature to represent their respective States’ interest and could be recalled.
It is a lot easier to bribe or blackmail a sitting Senator with one centralized operating in support of one or a few entities, as opposed to 50 different operations with competing interests.
Respectfully, you didn’t think this out.
I agree, and further add that the removal of Senator selection from the State Legislatures dramatically shifted the ablance of authority from the States to the Federal government. and the national political parties. Senators vote in lockstep with their political party, except when it doesn’t matter.
Changing the 17th Amendment to have each State Legislature select just one of their 2 Senators, together with recall power in the Legislature, would restore balance and limit ‘block’ voting against State representational interest.
So, you must think the state legislatures are full of saints who have the best interests of the public in mind. The state legislatures, even in red states, are corrupt, compromised and bought off by corporations. I have thought it through, and I prefer the voters to decide elected representatives.
Then you get a couple of big cities in these states deciding the election. Not all red state legislatures are corrupt. Missouri is a good example
I don’t think it would make much difference! Look at the RINOS in charge of Arizona, Texas and Georgia legislatures.
In one way addressing the question outlines the mission; to get rid of the RINOs and Communists at the state level.
We’re drowning in them in a state where easily over 90% of the state is conservative geographically. I remember when the Commies threatened to arrest the GOP legislators for not showing up, denying them a quorum. I thought they were gonna send OSP to chase them into Idaho and drag them back in chains. 😀
While reading your posit, I did wonder if the good citizens of Arizona, or the state legislature, would be more likely to elect Kari Lake to the Senate. Interesting.
Are you asking the Senators that rely on the 17th Amendment to repeal it?
Cassidy is hated in Louisiana. He won’t win even if he votes for Trump this time. The re-election rate is almost zero for anyone who votes to disenfranchise Trump voters. I agree that incumbency has it privileges but it won’t help if they make an egregious vote against a very popular Republican. Eight out of the ten House impeachers lost their seats. How did Liz Cheney do with the power of incumbency? I suspect the ninth House member, Dan Newhouse, will lose his seat this year.
Too easy. 2 term limits just like POTUS.
There are 4 more that need to come onto that list. He’ll half the southern states are saddled with 2 each.
They may hate Trump but they love their political power more. They know a conviction vote is a career killer.
sorry but you are wrong
The stats prove that I am right.
They are being paid to get trump
I totally agree, Sundance. This is NOT the time to remove Speaker Johnson. Too many RINOs in the House and Jeffries (yuk, ugh) would end up ruling the House.
The Dems run the House already. McJohnson is still there only for fear of a Dem House removing Trump from the ballot. Same destruction to the American Nation, just without Trump supporters rioting since they haven’t removed him (yet).
I also don’t trust the current rino faction not to retire and give it to Hakeem anyway
With all the ways Johnson has suspended the rules, promised no more CRs, but then passed a CR, brought back Ukraine funding after promising no more money for Ukraine, not done a damn thing for border security, and then passed the FISA bill don’t the democrats already essentially have the gavel?
He’s a compromised turdcicle that needs to be flushed down the swamp sewer like the sewage he is.
DJT has an uphill battle if he wins in 2024. There’s no way he waltzes in and gets very much of his agenda passed with “Friends” like Johnson.
Man is this country on life support.😢
Just a silly question here…. But how does the Senate (majority of 1 ) decide what is a Constitutional Right or Process ?
I thought the Supreme Court was supposed to do that.
I’m befuddled.
They don’t have the power to do that, unless they usurp it. Which is what they just did.
Might makes right!
I think Massie is McConnell’s agent. Both from Kentucky. McConnell is retiring (not soon enough) and Massie wants his Senate seat more than Joe Biden wants to sniff children. McConnell is the Ultimate Machiavellian Manipulator and He will certainly have huge sway in who gets the Kentucky Senate seat. Trump is in more trouble than people think.
plink
Could this action provoke a CWII
Not the removal of Johnson rather preventing PDJT from appearing on the ballot.
We aren’t going to vote our way out of this. Not one law breaking, traitorous politician, judge or bureaucrat has been held to account since the Swamp circled the wagons after the 2016 election. Nothing indicates to me that any of the cheating and law breaking will stop, it will only get worse.
Hence, the reason for my question above.
plink
To be clear, the Constitution is ok. It remains there unaffected by these criminals.
What we are witnessing is the Legislative Branch is not ok. There have been clear violations of the Constitution. Not simply violations of the “spirit” of the Constitution, but actual clear violations.
Where this is all headed, I don’t believe the Legislative Branch matters. Once martial law comes forward, who controls the House and Senate will not be of much consequence. Those in the Legislative Branch are right now being given one final opportunity to get on the right side of the law. Choose wisely.
I don’t have much back story or info on Speaker Johnson. I just see that he is spending a lot of time meeting with President Trump recently. That to me is an indication he is working with the good guys in this war.
And yes, make no mistake, we are at war.
This sickness actually all makes sense. Hakeem Jeffries being Speaker at this point of history, given his own racist family roots, is quite poetic.
Term limits MUST be added to the Constitution. The “People” are too dumb.
We live in a country where the movie ‘Idiocracy’ has come to life. 40 years ago these kids wouldn’t even have gotten into High School, much less college.
God help us.
Go ahead, ask one of these folks to make change for a dollar.
I would also add, this is why we NEED to have a basic literacy test you MUST pass before you are allowed to vote.
This alone would stop ALL election fraud.
Next year there might not be any dollars left to make change for.
The establishment CONservative. They sound and act like the conservative minded politicians we hoped we voted for. They have high American Conservative Union ratings and they voice their support plus forward legislative policies on domestic social issues like abortion and education that many of us will gladly support.
Where they fool us all is on foreign policy and economics. These are not America First people. They are globalists willing to sell out the country at the drop of a hat while making us believe being involved in overseas wars and lopsided trade deals that leave us with a glut of imported goods and lopsided trade deficits while we continue to deteriorate our domestic industries to our economic peril.
The establishment CONservative has fooled too many on our side and continue to do so. They’re just as bad to our nation as any RINO and Democrat.
Ron DeSantis, Thomas Massie and many other CONservatives are playing us for fools.
I’m fine with the dems taking the House. They will ham fist the Trump thing and get a massive backlash. The sooner we can shed the yoke from around our necks the better. Why not restructure the States relationship with the federal government through radical nullification, radical Federalism, and secession-lite?
Flyers are distributed at NGOs in Mexico encouraging illegals to vote for President Biden. The flyers read: “Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States. We need another four years of his term to stay open.”
The flyers were discovered throughout the Resource Center Matamoras (RCM) location, including on the walls of port-a-potties. They also appear to be handed out when illegal aliens use the RCM for assistance in coming to the USA. According to the Oversight Project, RCM bills itself as an operation which houses functions for Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), which helps illegal aliens enter the United States.
And this is where it gets interesting… As you can see in this photo, Mayorkas is a former board member of HIAS, which received numerous grants from Soros’ Open Society Foundation over the years. How could you argue this man is seriously doing his “best” to save the country?!
Senator Rand Paul disagrees with Sundance. Here’s what he has to say:
Sen. Rand Paul Issues Stark Warning to Trump: ‘He Will Lose the 2024 Election if He Continues to Support Speaker Johnson’ | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/sen-rand-paul-issues-stark-warning-trump-he/
First off, the link say he will “lose supporters” rather than he will lose the election as you state.
I do not value ol rand paul’s opinion all that much, he could never find a reason ro recess the senate when he had four years to work with our TRUE President Trump.
Also he voted to certify the 2020 election even though he CLAIMS he had serious problems with it
Where are the J6 video files, unredacted as to removers of fencing and “no trespassing” signs, all ‘instigators’ and ‘inviters into the Capitol’, any alleged busloads of antifa, etc.
give Johnson a week to release.
Why bother to vote for Republicans. Face it, it’s a fake opposition party. What a joke.
The “black pill” narrative is strong with new people here. This is a narrative designed to make you lose hope, faith, and the desire to vote. Work local, know your neighbors. Do your part and never give up.
Greetings fellow Nutmegger.
Recruit America first committee members to the Republican Town Committees.
What a coincidence. There is no such thing as a coincidence.
McCarthy and McConnell gave Biden and the Democrats $300 Billion for the Green New Deal which was 90% Democrat pork being doled out by John Podesta the White House Green New Deal Czar to Democrat Activists and NGOs!
How much of that went to the RINOS…1%?
This shite will go on and on and on and on similar in fashion until a “ let them eat cake “ moment. There is no doubt in my mind about that. Like any cornered animal, it will fight back in last resort…..
These people are all criminals! Only two options, vote them all out or war!
You can say that again Bro, Jeff Sessions broke my freakin heart.
Big flaw in CT analysis?
where in the Constitution does it allow Congress to remove a Presidential candidate, who is qualified to run? I know Congress can impeach a sitting president, but Not a candidate?! Congress has no power to deny a Pres candidate Trump from running?
in a Democrat House, House would certify a contested election of Biden, perhaps that is the DS goal?
Don’t the incoming House certify the Presidential election? Trump is bound to put some Republicans over.
As for Congress removing Trump from the ballot, it would more than likely end up back at SCOTUS. SCOTUS could have avoided this outright by stating that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to the President, or that Trump is not been charged or convicted of insurrection and therefore section 3 doesn’t apply
As much as I do not like Johnson this would be horrible.
Interesting bit of detective work from Breitbart on Speaker Johnson. Sounds like his inner circle may be lobbyists who have a vested interest in manipulating him to flip flop on various issues…
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/04/17/exclusive-mike-johnsons-top-policy-adviser-is-former-lobbyist-clients-have-corporate-interest-in-ukraine-war/
Have only skimmed this and am on the verge of throwing up.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
The new boss will be Hassan Jeffries. He is an Obama clone, as far as I am concerned.
As for Mike Johnson this scene in Casino Royale says it all…
Le Chiffre: [telling Bond he was betrayed] I’m afraid that your friend Mathis… is really… my friend Mathis, James!
Thing about the Bond line is that it was a double bluff. The guy Le Chiffre told him was the traitor wasn’t the traitor at all
That’s actually a mind blower for me, WOW!
How much dirtier can these creatures get .
It’s not coincidence to me that Johnson’s seeming change comes right after he gets the IC-orchestrated peek behind the curtain during the “You’re in the Gang of Eight now and really important, have some more wine” briefing. I’m not under the illusion that they don’t also give him (or any of them) a peek into what the IC has on them. Precursor chemicals that yield the compound “owned.”
He was controlled right from the beginning, why do you think they let him be speaker?
we’re ask yourself why you voted every time same all corrupt politicians?
SD are you saying MTG is compromised? I like her fire brand. I dont see her being compromised.
There was word that she was getting plowed by two dudes at the gym she was going to and wasn’t discreet about it at all. You can find articles about it with the men admitting it.
Not that I would accept it as Gospel, but it seemed to be a factor in her divorce. One thing I’ve learned about the DS is that they will exploit any indiscretions for blackmail purposes.
Accept things as they are, not as you wish them to be. There’s a lot of evidence that points to her being a sneaky undercover DS plant. I wish it wasn’t so, but it is.
Listen closely, compromise of any sort in the future for MAGA Republicans is defeat. I am old enough to have seen this same movie play out over and over again over the last 50 years. “Speaker” Johnson was a compromise. Kevin McCarthy was a compromise. Mike Pence was a compromise. Dick Cheney was a compromise. George HW Bush was a compromise. And on it goes. Will we ever learn? To be blunt here, if Johnson will not represent our interests, he needs to follow McCarthy out the door. The knock down, drag out fight needs to happen here and now. No compromise, take no prisoners. We are sick of playing the losing game.
Our government has handed out country over to China on a silver platter…
I still predict that this will not end well for many political turncoats. Lenin sent them before firing squads when he no longer needed their input! Too many turncoats can be quickly eliminated went their value is gone or no longer needed.
As a former supporter of MTG, I hope she burns slowly. Stupid is as stupid does.
Better to know a thousand dogs than to make the acquaintance of one new one. Something my Father taught me.
Having just read the extensive interview with MTG at Breitbart that is linked below, I am getting a very different slant on her from the one I brought to this article, and would retract the above comment if that were possible.
I was very sorry to read of her personal troubles, but even sorrier for being so heavily influenced by all the shade the media used during those troubles to throw over her.
This piece is unquestionalbly the most thorough and thoughtful thing I have ever read about her, and it it’s true, we have reason to hope–and certainly pray for her success. I also came away believing she is a true friend of our magnificent champion, VSGDJT.

We can’t resign our way into the majority.
Reportedly Shumer is boasting that Johnson gave him everything he wanted. If these moves lead to the gavel being handed to the Dems does it make any difference? Johnson’s aid package could have been put together by Pelosi.
This is what Johnson is proposing:
$60 billion for Ukraine to continue funding the human abattoir that is wiping out a generation of Ukrainian men. Ukraine doesn’t stand a chance of prevailing over Russia but let’s send billions more to fund an immoral war until that last Ukrainian man is left standing.
$26 billion for Israel. This works out to $2700 for every Israeli man, woman, and child or $11,000 per Israeli family of four. Americans are struggling like never before. Many can’t afford food or a roof over their head and the US taxpayer is cutting a check for $11,000 for Israeli families of four? Why? Israel is a rich country. They have free healthcare and secondary education. I have never seen people living in tents in Israel. How can this be justified? Essentially American bank accounts are being looted by politicians bought off by the Israel lobby. Just as Israel steals the lands of Palestinians it is robbing American bank accounts.
Billions are earmarked for the impoverished country of Taiwan. Again this is INSANE. At a time when the American standard of living is being gutted by inflation, US lawmakers are running up the debt showering foreign countries with billions of taxpayer money.
Also included in the proposal is the banning of TikTok. There has been talk of banning TikTok going back to Trump’s administration but there was no interest. According to the sponsor of the bill that all changed on 10/7. The powerful Israel lobby demanded TikTok be shut down because it was providing unfettered access to the news out of Gaza showing Israel’s ongoing extermination of the Palestinian people. Over 150 million Americans use TikTok as a platform for free expression and they are about to have their 1st amendment rights torn up because Israel has given an order to “shut it down”. I thought the 1st Amendment was the most treasured of American constitutional rights. The 2nd Amendment existed to protect the 1st! Why are so many Americans willing to throw away their basic human rights because a foreign country insists on stripping Americans of their free-speech rights?
Rand Paul has noted the elephant in the room that President Trump supports this foreign spending bill that is anything but American First. I suspect that Rand is right that Trump will lose a lot of core support if he continues to support this package.

Staffing members co-opting voters is what undid California after term limits too. Term limits only changes the nominal faces at the top, but staffers with their sell-outs, compromises and side-hustles are forever.
I found this piece cryptic insofar as it was news to me that MTG has dark motives originating in sexual exploits with Kevin McCarthy. I knew she got divorced—but otherwise know nothing about her personal life. What I do understand is that Johnson is in an incredibly weak position— and, therefore, regardless of how one views the various CR’s and other bills that have passed with his acquiescence and assistance (I haven’t been a fan), I do understand that this might be a very bad, very counterproductive time, for fellow Republicans to be taking him out.
It may be that my spidey-sense is not as sharp, informed, and finely tuned as it would need to be to grasp the full message here.
My crude, drive-by spidey-sense is that the Swamp is brimming with deception, pay-offs, and blackmail on both sides of the aisle. I don’t know who might truly have some allegiance to something greater than his or her own personal ego and financial interest. I was hoping MTG was one of the good ones who was a principled exception. Of course, being principled doesn’t rule out making choices that end badly if one acts without thinking through how certain dominoes will necessarily fall. Again, I don’t follow anybody closely enough to feel I know that much about the things that truly motivate their actions.
I do find that Republicans constantly form circular firing squads, and that GOP leadership, especially when it IS in an undeniably weak position, goes out of its way to kiss up to Democrats while coming down hard on any of its own supporters who might in any way rile the Dems.
At the same time, I think there is a kind of sea change happening with the general public—which feels and does not like—the public policy choices associated with the Dems. I therefore think anyone supporting a turn back to sanity, borders, peace, and prosperity needs to bury as many disagreements as possible, and move forward with the kind of rebuilding project this country is going to need and is absolutely longing for.
No Republican could do a worse job of running the House than Mike Johnson. A more compromised compromiser there has never been. It is hard to believe that anyone who is such an extreme failure even decided to run for another term. There is no good answer to this. Its damned if you do and damned if you dont. There are almost no real men in the republican party. As for Trump, he is all about branding. He tries to pick winners in order to help his brand. It is all conceptual. Trump does not have a preceptual instinct at all, but when november comes I will vote for him. Johnson doesnt get my support now or at any time. He is disgusting.
Anybody here from Johnson’s LA district? Is there any chance he will not be reelected?
Trump alone is not the answer! Hundreds of reps in the House and Senate are needed to effect real, long-term change in this country. The votes for that kind of change do not exist (see 2022 election) and will not materialize in the 2024 election. So, let’s quit kidding ourselves – MTG, Speaker Johnson, Charlie Kirk, Chip Roy, Sundance etc. etc. it is all kubuki theatre!!!!!
Just total garbage. I can’t wait until the about face on this site when Trump throws this fool Johnson overboard and we all pretend like this was 4D chess and Johnson had to go from the beginning. Johnson is terrible. This site defending Johnson is terrible. Having a Democrat House is only meaningful if the election somehow goes to the House (which it won’t). Who cares who heads committees at this point, the GOP is worthless. Who care if they pass their bills….the GOP is passing them anyhow.
The comment about MTG’s sexual affair with MCarthy is disturbing – do we have evidence to back that up or is that conjecture/rumor?
Maybe all our problems come from funding the Ukraine. The Uniparty wants endless War. Certainly our surrender in Afghanistan was to clear the way for war on Russia. Israel is just the cherry on the top. Next we march on China. We need Trump back!
