Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) is getting bad reviews.
“Gaetz has very few friends in the conference,” said his fellow Florida Rep. Carlos Gimenez. “Gaetz maybe has a couple of friends in the delegation. But I’m not one of them.” And Gimenez spoke for many other House Republicans.
Gaetz led a successful and unprecedented effort to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California), and there appears to be a broad consensus that Gaetz has really stepped in it now, and made things even worse than they were before. Democrats, who voted unanimously for Gaetz’s motion to remove McCarthy as speaker of the House, are chortling over Republican confusion and disunity. Meanwhile, even patriots who are sympathetic to Gaetz are saying that he has jeopardized the Republicans’ slim majority in the House, risked handing the leadership over to the Democrats, and proceeded without a plan: Gaetz himself is not a candidate, and no one seems to be in agreement over who should follow McCarthy into the speaker’s chair.
When acting speaker Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) took the chair, he banged the gavel down with petulant force, signaling a distaste for the whole affair that he never manifested as millions of unvetted migrants entered the country, or as the national debt and inflation skyrocketed, or as the Biden regime weaponized the “justice” system to persecute its political enemies. McHenry made it clear: what angered him was not any of that, but the removal of his friend McCarthy.
So the whole thing was a disaster, no? Gaetz should have left well enough alone, right? Wrong. In fact, Gaetz has won a rare victory for the American people, and should be congratulated and thanked accordingly.
The removal of McCarthy from the speaker’s chair was historic not only because it has never happened before. For the first time ever, the American people struck back against the ruling oligarchy, and made it clear that they would no longer stand for the politics-as-usual that has brought the nation to this period of deep crisis.
For years now, indeed, for decades now, and with very few exceptions, the far Left has set political policy in the United States. On occasion, patriots have refused to go along, but almost every time their opposition collapsed into capitulation, with a few minor details adjusted but the larger principles of the Left’s initiative left intact.
This capitulationism has been the hallmark of the Republican Party since at very least 1952, when Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first Republican to be elected to the presidency in twenty years, made it clear that he would not make any effort to roll back Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, which set the nation on the road to socialism and the ever-expanding federal government that grows more intrusive and authoritarian by the day. Instead, Republicans would stand for the march toward socialism to be pursued a bit more slowly, a bit more responsibly, a bit more carefully, and that was all.
Seventy years later, McCarthy pushed four frivolous, big government spending bills through the House, and according to CBS News, “said a continuing resolution would be needed to avoid a shutdown.” Gaetz responded: “A vote for a continuing resolution is a vote to continue the Green New Deal, a vote to continue inflationary spending, and the most troubling of fashions, a vote for a continuing resolution is a vote to continue the election interference of Jack Smith. We told you how to use the power of the purse: individual, single-subject spending bills that would allow us to have specific review, programmatic analysis and that would allow us to zero out the salaries of the bureaucrats who have broken bad, targeted President Trump or cut sweetheart deals for Hunter Biden.”
Gaetz added: “Speaker McCarthy made an agreement with House conservatives in January. And, since then, he has been in brazen, repeated material breach of that agreement.” And so now he is no longer speaker of the House. McCarthy apparently agreed in January not to join the Democrats in continued out-of-control government spending, and to stand aggressively against the Democrats’ weaponization and politicization of the justice system. Instead, he gave us more of the same: government of the Washington establishment, by the Washington establishment, and for the Washington establishment.
McCarthy’s ouster is a signal to whichever Republican may follow him as speaker: patriotic Americans are fed up. The time for conciliation, compromise, and appeasement are over. The enemies of America have captured the Democrat Party and made the Republicans into controlled opposition. It’s time for some genuine opposition to the sinister agenda of these corruptocrats. Matt Gaetz has made a mighty effort to restore the voice of the American people in their own government. For that, every American owes him a debt of gratitude.
Jeff Bargholz says
We sure as fuck owe Gaetz a debt of gratitude and some political action to back it up.
I was amazed that he won. I was sure he would lose.
Iv’e always liked that guy, and he sure came through.
We all need to do what we can to make his victory matter. Volunteer for vote counting, I say.
Beez says
Gaetz’ motto: “Trump Über Allies.”
Time for a 3rd party.
Alex Gofen says
“Time for a 3rd party” is a misnomer. We formally have other parties beyond the so-called the two. It’s a uniquely American degeneracy that the sheeple ignores other parties (and does not establish new parties) – as though because a 3rd would be a spoiler! The 3rd would be a spoiler indeed because of the other uniquely American degeneracy of having the final election with more than two outcomes!
I suggested a new party already in 2012 http://judeochristianamerica.org/ – which did not have any traction. Now it’s too late. Now this evil federation must be dismissed no less than the USSR was in 1991.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Uber alles,” dumbass.
Jeff Bargholz says
“America Uber alles.” The Dead Kennedys. Cool song although it was meant to insult America.
Trump Uber alles works for me. Best President since Theodore Roosevelt, who some conservatives and most Libertarians dislike. Screw them sideways.
Jeff Bargholz says
Where down voted me is gay for reptiles.
Blackgriffin says
Past time. But Republican “rank and file” are terrified to do something so bold. It would require real action and real risk. They’ll find reasons to stay and go back to swallowing every lie the GOP tells them and eagerly say, “More, please!” Just like the GOP does with the Left. Come to think of it, the GOP is the perfect party for those people. They were made for each other. Anyone who stays with them after this had better not EVER complain about anything they do again, because clearly this is how they like being treated.
RS says
We are glad to see someone show courage for a change against the total lawlessness and corruption in Washington and for the nation and for future generations! The road to communism has been traveled by many nations and always ends up in loss of freedoms and bondage.
Al Lanzman says
So let’s focus for a bit: we have the narrowest of margins in the House, and important business before the investigative committees regarding the Biden corruption enterprise. The investigations are being conducted by chairmen who are not exactly Rinos, Yet you are content with this snot nose punk with a personal beef against McCarthy orchestrate this absurdity?!?!?
Notice how the other side marched in lock step like the totalitarians they are in their support for the 8 collaborators. Pathetic and very short sighted
Black JEM says
Your comment demonstrates you still do not know how the game is played, or you are happy with it. Yes, the democrats knifed McCarthy in the back because Pelosi told them to; the same Pelosi McCarthy trusted more than the man who held real power over his speakership.
That this was so, and that he would trust such a political creature as Pelosi, the single most divisive and conniving political leader of either party in a nest of cutthroat pols in DC suggests very strongly McCarthy was part of the system, and happy to let it keep on going.
Jeff Bargholz says
Sorry, you traitor, but removing RINO scum is a benefit to society.
Only human trash oppose the removal of RINO McCarthy. He’s a scumbag, pure and simple. And so are you, you cock nibbling lowlife.
Tory says
I think you missed that part where McCarthy became the handmaiden of the Democrats and betrayed those MAGAs to whom he made a promise to oppose and rein in the suicidal spending. He lied, stabbed us in the collective back, and made all kissy-face to the Dems. He LIED. Boldly, brazenly, contemptuously. Is this what you wanted to see continue?
Jeff Bargholz says
McCarthey is RINO scum. Give the job to Gaetz or Jim Jordan.
Obama's boyfriend says
The voice of the sewer dwellers tells we should kneel before those that promise us one thing and never deliver on their promises and substitute exactly what they told us they will never allow.
We are told by these orcs that we must wear beer goggles and obey. Lest we be forced to take untested drugs or lose our jobs; allow our aged veterans to be tossed out of old age homes to make way for their favored illegal aliens; that we will be branded as terrorists if we object to allowing mental cases in skirts into our little girls dressing rooms; that we must submit to the FBI monitoring of churches where dangerous beliefs fester although mosques must be protected; that we have a culture of white supremacy though the Amish commit 6 crimes in proportion for every crime a white does, but whites go to jail while blacks somehow are never held accountable, like Jessie Smollett.
Or the two whites who were killed by black capitol police officers. What charges were brought against them.
Prepare for the storm that is coming. Because you will not bend a knee to your betters in the swamp.
MikeH says
What Gaetz did was a masterstroke. He showed McCarthy how his buddies in the Dem party really feel about him. McCarthy betrayed MAGA and sided with the Dems on everything they wanted. They repaid him by voting unanimously to oust him. HAHAHA! When are these dunce go along to get along Republicans going to get that this is war. The left hates us and wants us dead!
victor lochmatow says
He has my vote !!
Michael W Jagger says
Since the Tea Party the establishment GOP has broken its word everytime voters have given them an election victory.
Eff em. Patriots need to try new tactics – to send our own guys a message. FIGHT DAMMIT!
Scott Forman says
Defund the un-Constitutional Executive Agencies
BJB AZ says
Make a list of McCarthy’s modest accomplishments as speaker compared to a list of Democrat/RINO onslaughts against the Constitution, justice, liberty, and common sense in the same period, and it becomes clearer how and why Democrats are able to destroy our nation with very little pushback from their supposed opposition party.
The Eve of Battle says
Huzzah! Well-said!
RS says
The establishment Republicans weren’t trying to bring down the debt either. Money flows from America to make other countries great, and for foreign wars, but leave our own country in need!
John Sweet says
Gaetz is a clown. I trust Gingrich’s opinion more than Robert Spencer’s on this.
Jeff Bargholz says
How is Gaetz a clown? Don’t just make an asinine blanket statement, list your demented reasons for writing your unwarranted criticism.
Hannah Katz says
Matt Putz voted with Hakeem Jeffries and all the Democrats to remove a Republican Speaker. He is being used. The House actually seemed functional compared to the Senate and White House, but now is a fuster cluck. Hard line conservatives may love it, but many independents could be lost in the 2024 elections. Matt may be delivering the whole government back to the Democrats.
Greg says
As if the Deep State doesn’t dictate to the “whole government” anyway. Ask Chuck “You” Schumer, leader of the Democ-rat Senate, who said, “You take on the intelligence community and they have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you.” They’re all scared Schiff-less of the Deep State. Except for Matt Gaetz, and a few other patriots.
Vic says
Convention of the States is the only way to reign these idiots in. Geatz did us a huge favor.
aristotle cam says
How can Matt deliver the government when the liberals already have it? Sounds like you’re
O.K. with whats going on in our country.Biden and his cronies have been really doing a swell
job-huh? America is in the third year of his running things-and we’re now finally doing a
impeachment inquiry. Hopefully it’s not too late!
Francisco says
You make the assumption that “independents” actually deserve good government. If they are okay with the current trajectory on which America is heading, or they care more about “tone” and “decency” then fck them.
Right now we have one party controlled by a leadership that hates much of the country, and another party of nice, patrician businessmen who won’t expose them or seriously expose them because “that would be sinking to their level.”
If the independents, the supposed gods of today’s electorate, are offended by the idea of fighting fire with fire, then I don’t care if they are in the house when it gets burned down. In fact, I think it would be an improvement.
Cat says
Well. I hardly think Gaetz needs to be called a male sex organ. I believe that there are no “hard line conservatives.” Just fed up, regular, common sense American people who are tired of what looks a lot like a uni-party in DC. McCarthy was allowing continued funding of indictments of the (assumed) candidate who will be opposing the Democrat in the next presidential election. One need not be described by the slur “hard line” to find that Stalin-istic and down right scary for every citizen. And what about the J6 tapes McCarthy never released? Is it “hard line” to “want to see what actually happened that day by watching the video evidence, moment by moment? Are there innocent Americans in jail with their rights denied.? One need not be “hard line” to feel that it could happen to anyone else at any time. And the list of McCarthy’s misdeeds goes on.
Those whining for McCarthy are supporting the “”deep state” and they are the problem.
.
Leon says
As a life long independent (I’m 76 and never miss a vote), I’m probably more conservative than most conservatives. i 100% support Gaetz. Our govt is supposed to move slowly, but it IS supposed to move! Thank you, Matt Gaetz!
Beez says
Gaetz’ demi-god is DJT. DJT stands indicted in Washington, DC.
Let that sink in.
Do you think he has any chance of acquittal in that venue? Or the other Democrat controlled cities?
Do you think Trump can pardon himself?
virginia macdonald says
Oh, the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth – say what you will about Matt Gaetz, but he and the Freedom Caucus have shown ENORMOUS courage in pulling this off. They just blew up the whole ugly mess of a swamp in one massive explosion and this American is enjoying the entire spectacle!
Jeff Bargholz says
You’re a lying moron. Eat a sack of shit, you bitch.
Jeff Bargholz says
Whoever down voted me doesn’t know who I directed my comment at.
Dumbfucks.
Tory says
WHAT Democrats? the same ones who’ve been maneuvering and exploiting McCarthy while he cosplayed as a conservative. He betrayed you. Don’t be a victim of Stockholm Syndrome. There was fundamentally nothing to lose by Gaetz…oh, I dunno…honoring his pledge to fiscal conservatives to rein in the suicidal debt and spending. You can not possibly believe that the now-exposed gang of House RINOs intended to do anything to impede the left, except by a few theatric, but feeble, performances of *outrage*. There is nothing to lose through Gaetz’s ploy. Y’all need to wake up and stop believing in the fairy tale of the Dems being impeded in any way, as things were currently going.
rmt says
Never understood the logic of why anyone would vote for a Democrat when Republicans make missteps or do something politcally stupid.
It’s the Democrats who get us into these messes. How is punishing Republicans by voting Democrat a wise thing? You’re punishing yourself and the country when you vote Democrat.
Jeff Bargholz says
Spare us your histrionics. Jim Jordan will be and excellent Speaker of the House.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, right. Scare tactics went out the window the day Gaetz initiated the removal of RINO McCarthy.
Buh bye. It’s RINO hunting season.
Jeff says
Yes. I hate dismissive comments like the one above!
Beez says
He’s Trump’s clown.
Beez says
Whose clown is Gaetz, if not Trump’s? DJT turned his back on pro-lifers and before that, his J6 supporters.
FYI: I’m not a RINO. I’m MORE conservative than Trump ever was. If Trump wins the GOP nomination, he’ll be begging for my support in November next year. And he’ll be begging from a prison cell.
Trump was always a RINO. He can’t win by insults and his sycophantic supporter’s tricks.
Jeff Bargholz says
You lick diseased dicks.
Tory says
Actually, hun…you are pretty comically a baldfaced liar.. Sorry, but you’re pretty damn lazy, too, if you can’t contrive a better lie, that predictably devolved into a rant against Trump, against a backdrop of your pseudo-sanctimony of *being a true conservative*. You’re not.. I also don’t think he needs the support of enraged, deceitful cowards, so you can go elder abuse the old dementia patient, as you did last time.
RS says
Anyone who stands up to the Rino establishment who duped Americans, and tells the truth, is NOT a clown!
Jeff Bargholz says
Whoever down voted me eats dog shit from public parks and burps in sick pleasure. Smile when your eat that shit, bitches.
Jeff Bargholz says
How do you down voters like your shit mustaches? Dirty Sanchez? Is that you?

Jeff Bargholz. you eat dog shit from public parks and burp in sick pleasure. Smile when your eat that shit, bitch.
Jeff Bargholz says
Left-wing plagiarist.
I bet you’re in a gay bath house right now servicing old men.
Mark Dunn says
Gingrich is a good example of the DC uniparty.
Greg says
Radio blowhard Mark Levin is a Uniparty cross-dresser, too. His new book is entitled “The Democrat Party Hates America.” Democ-rats are succeeding in their pernicious schemes only because fellow travelers like Mark Levin (fake patriots) pull the wool over gullible eyes. Throw stones at Matt Gaetz? That’s what a Uniparty lap dog does.
Cat says
Agree. For a long time Levin shouted “ the constitution might be destroyed” on his FOX TV show long after it clearly already was. I thought someone should “send him a memo.” He has stopped saying this. His role (after bashing Trump and then back tracking) seems to be to stay a year behind and slow down the public’s awareness of events. But many people watch and listen to him. So, he does harm.
And don’t forget how he kissed up to Bill Barr on the Levin TV show. Barr lied, like the psychopathic actor he is, pretending empathy for the frustrated American public who observe the tyranny of the swamp. Levin seemed to buy Barr’s BS and at the end of the show asked Barr. “So, what can you do to help?” To which Barr said something about how he couldn’t possibly interfere as it violated some code or law. What a joke! He made a complete monkey out of Levin.
Jeff Bargholz says
I saw that interview and yes, Barr is a brazen liar and did all he could to stymie President Trump when he was in office and now bad mouths him as he’s out of office. I knew he was a fraud as soon as he got into office and proceeded to do nothing.
Garland is far worse, though. He’s an active traitor.
J.J. Sefton says
Newt Gingrich. The guy who did a PSA holding hands and all but slipping the tongue to Malig-Nancy Pelosi, and then helped turn the Contract with America into a Democrat Contract ON America you trust more than Robert Spencer, one of the handful of voices warning us about the global jihad and leftist takeover among other things.
It appears you are about as comatose as Lumpy Fetterman’s lump since you have no idea what is going on in the world around you.
RMC1000 says
Principles vs what you can get at the bargaining table . Apples to Oranges . A lot of Americans are sick and tired of compromising with totalitarians .
B says
No, Gaetz sent out the clown. We should be thankful for the few actual statesmen we have like Gaetz.
Vic says
Gingrich is an FDR guy thru & thru
Jeff Bargholz says

My-President_Wears_Depends says
You’re such a true gentleman, NOT. You’re the biggest A-Hole I’ve ever encountered in a Comments section and I have no idea why this site allows your filthy garbage to be posted on this site. You’re entitled to your opinion, but nobody is entitled to attack others, especially women,with your lewd and moronic comments!!!!! You are a tue lowlife.
Jeff Bargholz says
As if women are above criticism. I hate white knights like you. You make society worse with your ass kissing. You encourage women to become misandrists.
My-President_Wears_Depends says
Hey Jeff, your mom is a dick sucking clown.
Jeff Bargholz says
And you claim I’m crude and lewd.
You suck tranny dicks and take it up the ass by the Sisters of Perpetual Mercy.
Could you be any gayer? You really like to be bent over, don’t you?
John Bumpus says
One of the lessons to take away from the comments made by the 200+ Republican members of Congress yesterday who spoke in defense of Speaker McCarthy, and the tone of those comments by those same members, is that our country NEEDS TERM LIMITS NOW!
Just listen to those guys, and their continuing comments today—talk about a group of WHINY, ENTITLED PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT THEIR WORLD HAS JUST COLLAPSED BECAUSE THEIR McCARTHY ‘GRAVY TRAIN’ HAS JUST ENDED!
I don’t think yesterday would have ever happened if no one in the U. S. House of Representatives had been there for longer than twelve years. I am not saying that the limit ought to be twelve years, but I am saying that there ought to be a limit. And I am also saying that many of these guys have been there far too long, and they feel imposed upon that Gaetz wants them to have to follow existing Federal law and enact twelve budget bills each and every year.
Why, THAT is just too much work, they say. We want to take the easy way out and either do Continuing Resolutions or massive 3,000 to 4,000 page omnibus bills. And as a result, there is inadequate control over Federal spending with the result of $33T Federal debt in 2023 that is growing at the pace of approximately $2T each and every year.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, single issue bills need to be the norm. No more porkified omnibus bills.
David Ray says
I’d be a hoot if both houses, the executive branch, and every burocrate & staffer took a severe pay cut until a balanced budget was passed.
Remember that bullshit “We’re all in this together!” ✊️ that politicians said during the mandated lockdown? People were losing their small businesses & burning through their savings accounts.
Not politicians. They got paid.
(Activist judge Moye’, who sacrificed no income, excoriated & jailed Shelley Luther for, after sacrificing months of her income, reopened her Salon doors.)
David Elstrom says
Term limits are unlikely to do any good. Our primary enemy is the permanent bureaucracy. We can see from oversight committees that the bureaucrats routinely flip off the committees—with zero consequence for the insult. The bureaucracies violate the Constitution’s prohibition on Congress delegating its legislative power, and they violate separation of powers—being legislature, enforcers, and judiciary unto themselves. By design they give the illusion of due process while avoiding the legislature (the people). Worse, the administrative state operates largely outside the Constitution’s enumerated powers. If we shut down every out-of-bounds bureaucracy we would decimate DC power.
Leon says
And that’s what Article 5 is about. Convention of States. And it doesn’t require any federal approvals… only state actions, and it has multiple safety nets to prevent runaway extraneous unwanted crap. It leaves the fed govt with “only” the powers approved by state agreement. The feds get no vote in it.
Blackdog says
The convention of the states is a joke! Why? Because who do you think would be sent as a delegate? The same nerds that are in Congress now! But I like your hope.
The Eve of Battle says
You are correct on all points!
Alexander Scipio says
SCOTUS held – years ago – that term limits alter the constitutional requirements for office and so require an amendment, Legislation cannot provide them. https://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/23/us/high-court-blocks-term-limits-for-congress-in-a-5-4-decision.html
…and, Cruz has introduced – on the Senate – said amendment three times now. https://www.cruz.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sen-cruz-introduces-constitutional-amendment-to-impose-term-limits-for-congress
Beez says
But, but, but Cruz is a “RINO” according to the Trumpites.
I want my country back! says
The country’s gone in the can under the very eyes of the former speaker. Where’s he been?

Larry Peterson says
I heard a former Bush official say that the purpose of government is to grow the economy. As long as the gop donors are making money they are happy. This is a recipe for civil unrest. There are so many issues besides the economy that are important. The rule of law being very important.
Jason P says
Hear, hear! A rare defense of a brave man who said “enough!”
The next Speaker will have greater power to resist the Dems as it is now clear that surrender will not be tolerated. This should get interesting.
Samuel Pope says
No, it shan’t get interesting. Matt Gaetz can’t just stage a coup against every single Speaker that he personally doesn’t like.
Jeff Bargholz says
You Dirtbagocrats sure miss RINO McCarthy, don’t you scum?
Jeff Bargholz says
Whoever down voted me licks McCarthy’s dimpled ass.

You watch too much Mr. Maddow.
THX 1138 says
Nothing will change, the status quo unquestioned moral code of both parties is altruism. And altruism leads to socialism. It’s either altruism-socialism or Ayn Rand’s historical and revolutionary code of rational selfishness which is the moral foundation of freedom, liberty, and the Free market Capitalism.
The whole key to conservatism is in this paragraph,
“This capitulationism has been the hallmark of the Republican Party since at very least 1952, when Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first Republican to be elected to the presidency in twenty years, made it clear that he would not make any effort to roll back Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, which set the nation on the road to socialism and the ever-expanding federal government that grows more intrusive and authoritarian by the day. Instead, Republicans would stand for the march toward socialism to be pursued a bit more slowly, a bit more responsibly, a bit more carefully, and that was all.”
Conservatism is socialism on a slow track. middle of the road compromise between socialism and freedom, you can either have altruism-socialism or Ayn Rand’s moral code of rational selfishness-capitalism. Pick one or the other you can’t have both. When two parties share the same moral code it’s the more consistent one who wins.
Beez says
In a time of crisis, we can count on THX to give us his usual cut and paste job bearing no relevance whatsoever to the crisis unfolding today.
Intrepid says
At least we know that nothing will change in your sad little world. You may be the most depressing and depressed excuse for a person on the planet.
You can take your “key to conservatism” and stick it since you have no idea what you are talking about. Do us all a favor…..don’t vote.
Intrepid says
Have you noticed that no one seems to flocking to Ayn Rand’s historical and revolutionary code of rational selfishness? Just sayin’
You might as well just start banging your head on concrete. It might help all of your tics.
internalexile says
Gingrich and Levin were strongly against this, and Bongino was for it, basically. I wonder what Rush would have said?
Jason P says
At least we have respectful debate & discussion instead of moving lock-step like the left. Some people believe we should be more like the left.
Going into Iraq some of us had worries & were pushed aside. As a matter of fact, Robert Spencer spoke out against nations-building on Jihad Watch & he faced harsh criticism. Where was Newt then?
teachem2think says
Rush the RINO was quite predictable because of his lack of sagacity and wisdom. He would have been in McCarthy’s corner for the usual RINO-reasons. I miss him like a chronic STD.
Annie45 says
Trump supporter Gaetz has knocked that Rino simp Mc Carthy off his
preening perch. Now let’s get Trump supporter Jim Jordan in as
Speaker of the House and try to get something done for our country –
and against the Commie Dems – for a change.
Bravo, Gaetz!
Jim says
The name of Matt Gaetz’s podcast is FIREBRAND, after all.
Snuffy Carter says
The GOP should pick Trump to be the next speaker – at least for a short term – just so we can watch liberal heads explode. Picture this: Trump sitting behind Biden at the next State of the Union address – Trump makes faces as Biden speaks – Trump then picks up his copy of Biden’s speech and rips the speech into pieces, and then walks out of the room before the speech is over. A dream come true.
And with a little divine intervention, perhaps Biden and Ho meet their maker while Trump is still Speaker – then Trump becomes President and the wrath of Trump then rains down on the heads of those who have been unjustly persecuting him. Welcome to Gitmo, Jack Smith, Fanni Willis, Garland, Wray, Hunter, and many other traitor dems – a twilight zone type of show that we can’t wait to see.
Jeff Bargholz says
I’d pay to watch that. Especially Leticia James and Fat Boy Bragg in the DC Gulag, along with it’s fat skag warden. She needs a long prison sentence.
And Trump has said he may accept a temporary role as Speaker.
TomKat Books says
Bottom line: We will end up with a far-greater conservative Speaker than McCarthy.
Not a bad tradeoff to the temporary upheaval we now experience.
Jeff Bargholz says
It looks to be Jim Jordan.He’s a good guy.
NAVY ET1 says
What we’re witnessing is the RINO side of the UniParty throwing a temper tantrum, thinking they were back in control with their boy McCarthy taking the reins. They thought wrong. An agreement is an agreement, and McCarthy reneged on his, proving that a RINO’s word isn’t worth spit. It’s no surprise that the ultimate RINO network Faux News had a conniption fit yesterday, sending their low IQ attack puppy Brian Kilmeade in to chew the pant cuffs off Tim Burchett. After the dust settled, Tim’s pants were just fine and Faux News continued to illustrate why they’re dropping in ratings and viewership.
I heard it said yesterday that, since McCarthy already was working with Democrats to pass the CR, he assumed some might help him keep his speakership. He assumed incorrectly, rather, Democrats assumed he would come grovelling back to them with further concessions in exchange for being voted back in. I’m told that when McCarthy announced he wouldn’t run again for the position, some Democrats were visibly shaken by the news and did a hard “we f***ed up” gulp.
So ditto, Robert. While Matt Gaetz is to the House what Jeff Gordon was to NASCAR (you either love him or hate him), he’s proven to have grit in the face of adversity. When RINOs boo you…you must be doing something right.
Semaphore says
Yes. There was a saying years ago that the measure of a man is best revealed by the character of those who hate him.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, and Gaetz said “go ahead and Boo,” or something like that.
I think Kilmeade is a good guy but has no control of what he’s allowed to say and wants to keep his job so goes along with the bullshit.
Ed Henry used to be the White House correspondent for Fox and he moved to Real America’s Voice because he was tired of reading scripts from that twat secretary posing as the Fox CEO. You can’t make a secretary a CEO any more than you can maker her a brain surgeon or airline pilot.
It looks like Henry is off RAV now, though. Even his co-host, Kathryn Turk is gone. They put bon a good show. Too bad, although Miranda Khan, who seems to have replaced them along with David Brody, is a hottie and talented.
Joe Esposito says
We need to vote on 12 separate spending bills and not one continuing resolution it’s the law.
It’s time to cut back spending and take back our country.
Thank you Matt for getting the ball rolling.
Nyfarmer says
Gaetz went over ‘the top’ as it were. Will the electorate follow? likely NOT! Any meaningful legislation will require a majority of at least 20 – 40 seats in the House and similar in the Senate. Plus the Presidency. Far to much gravy is being ladled out for such. Despite the fact that the gravy (inflation!) is getting thinner every year!
Intrepid says
The last three house speakers, Boehner, Ryan, and McCarthy have been pathetic uniparty RINOs. I do not understand why Levin and Gingrich are taking the stands they are taking. We finally have a real chance to have a decent House Speaker in Jordan or Scalise. Maybe we can finally halt the frivolous spending and show a little unity for a change. Of course the Senate won’t pass spending cuts as long as Schumer is running things there.
Cat says
And even if it isn’t a more conservative speaker or it backfires altogether, it still needed to happen. It is called consequences for bad behavior. Instead of always seeing a political chess game, we need to see some honest consequences dishonesty. And if the next speaker is a liar and anti-American funding indictments of opposition party candidates and other awful things, then they too need to be ousted. Lets provide consequences that are in-sync with the good of the American people.
Most of us could care less about the GOP. It is not an entity that helps us.
Hugh Jassol says
So every one of the Democrats voted against the uniparty too? I think not.
Hugh Jassol says
The Demonrats will never vote for anyone more conservative than McCarthy and neither will RINOs like Nancy Mace.
Jeff Bargholz says
They don’t need to. The Republicans can nominate where they want. The D-Bags have no say in the matter.

As I observed on another comment forum, “If only the GOP cared about the country half as much as they expect me to care about the GOP”.
The “Republican Party” (as with all political parties) is primarily a vehicle for the career advancement of aggressively ambitious people with preternaturally low ethics and no job skills of any value in the private marketplace. “Public Service” is merely an unfortunate minor job duty that occasionally must be pantomimed in order to keep the Boss off their a**es.
Nine out of ten articles I read are bent toward what is good or bad for the party; when the good of the country is spoken of, it is almost always succinctly confabulated with the good of the GOP.
I ain’t buyin’ it.

Your 2nd paragraph, very accurately describes pseudo president Xiden.

“There’s a storm coming, Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches cause when it hits, you’re all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.”
This is why I want to say to all those establishment Republicans whining and crying because RINO McCarthy was booted from the Speaker’s chair.
Jeff Bargholz says
Mr Wayne? Batman?
He’s so cool. especially the Alan Grant Batman in the late eighties and the Grant Morrison Batman in JLA, when he took out the white martians with ease.

What a bunch o’ hooey, Robert (in line with all the rest!)

Thank you for this article . And thanks to Front page for presenting it at the top of the stack today. Bravo to you and to Front page.

We not only need to stop the bleeding; we need a transfusion. This nation is anemic from decades of corruption, abuse and political malfeasance.
America needs a revival. No more taxes; end the strangulation of unchecked over regulation.
Turn America around. Vanquish the DemoNazi regime.

That’d be great but tell us how Trump will do that from a prison cell.
Jeff Bargholz says
Dream on, traitor. Trump will beat all the fake and illegal charges against him.
Steven Brizel says
Gaetz showed that he has no interest in governing or in the legislative process but ;loves the spotlights and social media-he is the GOP equivalent of AOC-all mouth and no brains-McCarthy got legislation passed in the House and selected strong committee chairs who are doing the groundwork for impeaching Biden or rendereing Biden impossible to be the Democratic nominee
Jeff Bargholz says
McCarthy the RINO approved a huge Dirtbagocrat pork bill. Good riddance.
Cleanse The Temple says
Well said, Robert! My Democrat Party is infested with Communists, and in good conscience, I cannot join those spineless, Commie-Collaborators on the other side. GOD BLESS.
Ruckweiler says
Regardless of HOW it was done, removing McCarthy says that the business as usual’s apple cart can be overturned. Say what you will about Gaetz and the other 7, they found a way to rid themselves of a Speaker who had one heck of a time even getting elected. The ad hominem attacks on the Gaetz group are because their plan undercut the RINOs.
RS says
Thats right! People realize the Rinos part in helping to achieve the One World Government agenda.
Steve says
Also let’s not forget a big debt of gratitude to the Dems for working with Gaetz

“…., Gaetz has won a rare victory for the American people”. ~~ Robert Spencer
Yes, indeed, he has and THIS American along with thousands of others THANKS HIM FOR IT!
Any “chaos” (mere temporary confusion) from the status quo, WELL WORTH IT!
Bravo, Rep. Gaetz!!
The Eve of Battle says
Well-reasoned, Mr. Spencer! Thank you.
ROY TREPANIER says
Kudos to Mr. Gaetz on a bold and courageous move. BUT, methinks it is only a tiny bandage on a huge elephant.
At age 81, I have witnessed the declime of the British Empire (Brittania Rules the Waves…the Sun Never Sets on the British Empire) to what is now dinky old England. I am now witnessing the decline of the American Empire, the ‘fall of Babylon’ as it were.
Notice how evil has grown and spread exponentially in the past few years. Filthy, demented evil that causes parents to encourage their children to mutilate their little bodies for life and drag them to Drag Queen shows to utterly pervert their innocent minds. etc.etc.etc.
We are also witnessing the final battle between God and satan. (yeah, the devil is real) and the American Empire has to go down for the Antichrist Empire to rise. Scripture speaks much detail to all the great Empires of history, but zero, zilch, nada on the American Empire so I would dare say that right now, the American Empire is 75% ‘down’ and the Antichrist Empire is 75% ‘up’.. Not much time left. You will not recognize this planet by years end.
Maranatha, come Lord Jesus……..
Ray Cedor Jr. says
I’m convinced that Kevin McCarthy’s ouster as Speaker of the House was a necessary step towards resuscitating our self-governing, constitutional republic. The hard truth is that business-as-usual and go-along-to-get-along politicians like McCarthy are no threat to the corrupt, bipartisan political establishment which has weaponized the federal government against law-abiding, liberty-loving citizens. Although I have no personal favorites, my hope is that a viable, anti-establishment candidate will emerge to replace McCarthy. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, however, Gaetz and his cohorts should be commended for throwing sand into the gears of the liberty-shredding machine which the government has become at the hands of freedom-hating globalists infesting its branches, departments and agencies. The time to choose is now. The stakes are America’s very survival as–in the words of Ronald Reagan–“a nation that has a government, not the other way around.” Carpe diem!
BONNIE RUTH says
This annual spending fight is a no-win situation by design. The US Constitution does not allow for a budget. The XVI Amendment and the New Deal is where the trouble started. The Enumerated spending powers Congress has should keep this very simple per Article I Section 8. No Speaker or anyone else can wrangle a Constitutional travesty that was doomed for failure the minute after it was ratified, pulling everyone involved into the blame game, each and every time. Robert Spencer has this correct; the Republicans in Congress are their own worst enemies.
RS says
What the establishment Rinos have been trying to hide from the American people is that (they) are part of the movemen of the One World Order of the fundamental transformation. They pretend to be Republicans……but keep the country from going back to the rationality, balance, and Constitutional Governmen by the People. All these illegals being welcomed in, will eventually cancel out the votes of lawful Americans.
John Blackman says
unfortunately the republicans have been wandering around DC for years like deer caught in the headlights . while the democrats are all over them like a rash . the democrats control everything including most of the republicans that is why america is going down like the titanic . all bureaucracy [ aka ] the swamp , is run by the democrats hence the reason why the republicans cant get anything done when they hold the reins . the moment orange man bad stepped into the crack house the swamp stymied him from day one . imagine telling your work boss that he is not in charge . which is what the swamp employees told trump . the bosses told the swamp not to comply with the new administration namely the president voted in by the constituents . america is done , nothing will reverse the death of america . just like the founding fathers prophesied , america will destroy itself . whether gaetz did the right thing or not wont make a hill of beans difference . eventually they will all be john mc cains . lining their pockets with someone new .
SPURWING PLOVER says
The big lesson is to never vote for anyone selected by the NYT,s
Alex Gofen says
Bravo for what? Did Gaetz really stand up against the establishment uniparty? Let’s see.
Mr. Gaetz, just like McCarthy and the entire Congress, are traitors who toppled Pres. Trump certifying the stolen 2020 election. To stand against the uniparty means to make this Never-Do-List the DO-LIST: http://judeochristianamerica.org/FAQ#NeverDoList
Mr. Gaetz did not suggest anything like making this Never-Do-List the DO-LIST. OK, one crook McCarthy will be replaced with some other crook – and all that was somehow desired by such open enemies of America as Dems: unanimously. Hm…
Now it’s too late. Now this evil federation must be dismissed no less than the USSR was in 1991 – see the comparison table: http://judeochristianamerica.org
Michael V. Wilson says
It’s been said, “Compromise is just surrender in slow motion.” Matt Gaetz did the right thing. We need more like him.
Nan says
I wonder about Gaetz as VP. Might make a good one.

Gaetz is a pathetic trafficker of minors and member of the putin caucus
