House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appeared on Face the Nation and Fox News to respond and defend himself from the UniParty accusations of Matt Gaetz.  As McCarthy stated in both interviews, he believes his job is not to represent Republicans, but rather as House Speaker he is to represent the interests of all Americans, including communists.

McCarthy knows the Democrats will protect him, as long as he continues making secret deals with them.  This is his shield against the removal threats of Matt Gaetz and other MAGA republicans in Congress.  Speaker McCarthy knows how to fly the UniParty vulture with both wings flapping in unison.  However, the Democrats visibly supporting him may present a problem, thus the next element of his discussion.

To retain his America-First Bonafides, McCarthy now links any Ukraine funding to the border security position.  McCarthy’s connection of the two issues is not related to a strategic legislative effort to get the border secured, but rather as a mechanism to allow him to fund his Ukraine priority.  Attaching border security measures gives him the cover, to provide the Ukraine funding.  WATCH:

MARGARET BRENNAN: Good morning and welcome to Face The Nation. Congress has done it once again. They’ve kicked the proverbial can down the road passing a 45 day funding bill to keep the government running. Now the deadline for getting spending bills passed is November 17th. Joining us this morning, the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. Good morning, you’ve had a heck of a week.

HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY: Yeah.

This is good stuff. Brutally good stuff.  I’m going to begin by repeating what I said last week.

I do not know if Matt Gaetz is the worthy Ty Cobb of Republican politics or not, but I do know he is currently one of the only people that is not pretending.  That elevates him in my view.   Oh sure, he’ll probably acquiesce to the pressures and sell out just like the rest of them, but right now – in his best form – Matt Gaetz has dropped the pretense, and that has sent the machinery of the DC Republican system into fits of apoplexy.  Good.

I’m at the point of frustration with this nonsense where apoplexy, anger and visible ‘losing their sh*t’ makes me smile.

As CTH has outlined for well over a decade, the last federal budget that went through the appropriations process, passed both chambers and was signed by a president, was the fiscal year 2008 budget signed in September 2007 by George W Bush.  Every single budget from that moment to today has been a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending packages (mini and regular) and baseline budgeted CR extensions.  So, when Gaetz says it needs to stop, he’s holding the righteous high ground, and it doesn’t matter which congressional or media voice tries to say he’s wrong. He ain’t wrong.

Today, Gaetz said he’s willing to do whatever it takes, to see Kevin McCarthy taken down -OR- forcibly propped up by the Democrats in congress.  Which, I might add, will highlight the exact nature of the UniParty construct with a clarity not before understood by the majority of Americans.  Go for it, Matt… Make it happen.

STAY STRONG MATT! 

Gaetz was also on CNN giving Jake Tapper a case of the vapors. 😂🤣😂

First the backdrop.  Let us not pretend a confluence of events do not all go in one direction.

U.S. troops are conducting military exercises in eastern Moldova {link}.  The CIA and State Department are the operational mechanism for all Ukraine military operations, and in total control of the Ukraine government {link}.  American contracted mercenary troops operating in Ukraine are being treated at U.S. military hospitals in Germany {link}.  U.S. military operations are flying drone missions above Ukraine, and U.S. satellites are coordinating the battlespace.  Additionally, the U.S. is sending Abrams tanks, F-16 fighter jets along with support and training teams, and long-range missile launching systems into Ukraine. {link}

For all intents and purposes, the U.S driven NATO military forces are already actively engaged in Ukraine.

Simultaneously, the Dept of Defense {link} and CIA {link} have announced the deployment of advanced artificial intelligence operations for U.S. internet systems. That creation aligns with the Dept of Homeland Security organizing “homeland intelligence experts” {link} to control and monitor public information and shape U.S. public opinion.  All of this is happening under the guise of national security.  We have the COVID-19 backdrop to identify the public-private partnership approach to controlling information.  This same process can easily be deployed to cover Ukraine sensitive content.

There’s your backdrop with citations.  Now, given all of that, doesn’t the alignment of the demonstrable datapoints all flow in one unilateral direction?

The British are now saying the quiet part publicly and out loud:

The Telegraph – In an interview with The Telegraph, [Defense Secretary] Grant Shapps said that he had held talks with Army leaders about moving “more training and production” of military equipment into Ukraine. He also called on more British defence firms to set up factories in Ukraine.

Following a trip to Kyiv last week, Mr Shapps also reveals that he has talked to Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, about how Britain’s Navy could play a role in defending commercial vessels from Russian attacks in the Black Sea.

Both moves would mark a significant escalation in the UK’s involvement in defending Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s onslaught. Speaking in his first newspaper interview as Defence Secretary. (read more)

There’s no pretending or pulling punches in Neil Oliver’s monologue this week. In fact, the theme of blood and carnage weaves throughout the presentation as Oliver walks through some recent events in the UK, Canada, Ukraine and the United States.

Dissident Oliver puts the cost of this western global political effort into a very human context, and asks ‘what do we care about‘, as we allow this to continue.  The examples he cites are very real and very much related.  WATCH:

This was not unexpected.  For Chutkan to recuse herself she would have to admit “bias.”  Judge Chutkan denies she carries bias, ergo she refuses to recuse herself from the Trump prosecution.  [SEE Ruling HERE]

Please keep in mind all judges in the DC District expected this.  That’s why they sat in the back of the courtroom during the Trump indictment proceedings. {Go Deep}

Given the nature of how the intelligence apparatus manipulates their work product in order to manipulate public opinion, the CIA willingly changing their determination of COVID-19 origin doesn’t come as a surprise.  What is more surprising is that Congress found out about it. [SEE PDF HERE]

The Congressional Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic reported last night that former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease, Anthony Fauci, conducted a stealth visit to the CIA headquarters in order to influence their findings on the origins of COVID-19.  Fauci did not want the U.S. govt relationship with the Wuhan lab and gain of function research becoming a risk, with the COVID-19 virus originating from that lab and relationship.

Dr. Fauci’s suspicious moments, “without a record of entry,” are especially concerning in light of recent whistleblower testimony alleging the CIA rewarded six analysts with significant financial incentives to change their COVID-19 origins conclusion from a lab-leak to zoonosis.  It appears the secret visit by Fauci was the triggering mechanism to change the CIA findings.

Eloquence in litigation is an art form.  Court motions and pleading that blend eloquence with deliberate and diplomatic snark are masterpieces.  Thus, the exceptional nature of President Trump’s response motion to the demands of a gag order by Special Counsel Jack Smith is a master class in linguistic evisceration.  I stand impressed.

As some, perhaps more than a few readers here will remember, I have studied the written motions of one specific DC litigator enough to detect his presence, form and style.  Please do yourself a favor and read the 25-page response motion HERE and raise a glass.

I am not a lawyer, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night.  However, I have spent thousands of hours reading court filings, and one specific style of writing is very familiar to me.  If this is not from the ghost pen of Eric Dubelier, then whoever did write it has trained his/her argumentative intellect on the same turf.

Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo was very visibly entrenched in her effort to defend House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from the criticism of Representative Matt Gaetz.  During the combative interview, Ms. Bartiromo showed a transparent agenda to support the professionally Republican GOPe perspective.

Today, following a considerable amount of backlash, and eyes-wide-open to the motives and intents of Bartiromo, she attempts cleanup by repeating the phrase, “democracy is messy” as a justification for her support of McCarthy Inc. The video of her effort today is below; however, before getting to that cleanup effort, let me just explain why Gaetz is majority correct on the bigger picture.

The House Government Weaponization Committee is a complete sham – a ruse, a sound stage of actors and political performers who have no intention on actually exposing the government weaponization.   Gaetz focused on the failures of the House Oversight Committee (chaff and countermeasures committee) and gave examples of how they never subpoenaed Hunter Biden as one clear indicator of their intent. I have written about this extensively {GO DEEP}, and the Oversight committee’s lack of action is not even close to a surprise, regardless of whether McCarthy and Bartiromo want to keep pretending.

The bigger let down is found in the lack of action by the Govt Weaponization Committee.  Let me explain how simple this is to see using an example I shared with former congressman Devin Nunes.   Sometimes litmus tests really are good for this purpose. The problem we have is accepting the reality of what they mean.

Back in February 2019, around the time when Bill Barr came into the picture, everyone was excited about the potential for accountability. An honest investigation that would reveal and expose the corrupt nature of the DC system, so that a public would be aware, accountability would be metered, and a total restructuring of the corrupt systems could take place.  I was not one of those people.

I accept the visibility of corruption through the prism of simple questions.  Everyone knew Robert Mueller was installed as a tool to cover up the preexisting corruption and simultaneously keep Trump under attack.  No one in Washington DC did not know this.  Everyone knew.  Despite that non-pretending admission and reality, not a single person ever said the Mueller probe was a farce.  Not a single congressional member ever dared say Robert Mueller was part of the corrupt system.

It was only a matter of time before we see why Rupert Murdoch kept Council on Foreign Relations member Maria Bartiromo on staff.  Today Ms. Bartiromo showed her GOPe bona fides with a full-throated defense of Kevin McCarthy and the effort to fund government by continuing resolution.

As the combative interview takes place, pay *CLOSE* attention to the glimpses of Ms. Bartiromo’s ¹phone that appear in her screen shot.  I will bet you a donut Kevin McCarthy was texting her in real time with instructions on what to say to Matt Gaetz.  WATCH:

I don’t trust this crew as far as I can spit; however, this has the potential to be an inflection point.  But we need to watch carefully.

In an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp says he will support Donald Trump if he is the victorious nominee from the GOP primary contest.   Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious.

“Despite all of that, despite all of his other trials and tribulations, [Trump] would still be a lot better than Biden. And the people serving in the administration would be a lot better than Joe Biden. And it has nothing to do with being a coward. It has everything to do with winning and reversing the ridiculous, obscene positions of Joe Biden and this administration that literally, in a lot of ways, are destroying our country.” (read more)
