For anyone still scratching there thick heads as to why McCarthy is out….a much needed trip down memory lane.
Kevin McCarthy Tells Republican Caucus He Will Not Seek Speakership Again – Here’s My Thoughts
According to multiple DC media sources, a quiet effort is underway by members of the professionally republican mindset to kick Matt Gaetz out of the House Republican caucus. However, the advocates worry they will be primaried by voters in their district, as the population of Republican voters supports Gaetz. It is a duplicitous dynamic.
Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy has told his Republican conference that despite prior statements, he will not attempt to become the House Speaker again and will instead retire to his home district in California.
Story continues below advertisementNo one is quite sure what comes next; what is clear is that Gaetz has channeled the frustration of the Republican/MAGA base into an actionable result. This should not come as a surprise to the GOPe, although many of the cloistered clan continue pretending not to understand the dynamic at play.
Allow me to provide some simple clarity.
♦ In 2009 72% of the country, and an even larger percentage of the Republican voters, did not want Obamacare. The govt takeover of healthcare was along purely ideological grounds. For the 2010 midterm election, the professional Republican apparatus campaigned on this single issue – repeal Obamacare. The voters destroyed the Democrats and flipped 67 seats to Republican control. The professional Republicans wanted the House, frustrated American voters gave it to them.
The Republicans did nothing.
♦ In 2012, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and asked to begin a process of taking down the Democrat control of the Senate. Remember, it was a 60/40 Senate when the Obamacare boondoggle was begun. Keep the House, help us take Senate seats, and we will repeal Obamacare and balance the budget. That was the call of the 2012 professional Republicans. The voters delivered. The GOPe kept the house, took 6 seats in the Senate and introduced a wave of fresh Republican blood.
The Republicans did nothing.
♦ In the 2014 midterm election, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and now flipping the Senate with more GOP seats. Keep the House, give us the Senate majority, and we will repeal Obamacare and deliver a balanced budget. The voters again delivered. Beginning in January 2015, the Republicans controlled the House and the Senate majorities for Obama’s last two years.
The Republicans did nothing.
Worse still, even with professional Republican control of both chambers of congress, President Obama never had to use his veto pen.
♦ In the 2016 election, after the professional Republicans could no longer stop/block candidate Donald Trump, they said if we get the White House, retain the House and retain the Senate, we will repeal Obamacare, return to regular budgetary order, and balance the budget. Stunningly, against all the odds, the voters yet again delivered. President Trump won the election; Republicans now held the White House, the House and the Senate – as requested.
The Republicans did nothing.
Worse still, the professional Republicans acted as if they were the dog that just caught the car. Now they had no excuses, and as a result there was an exodus of retirements announced from the caucus of the professionally Republican to begin in 2018.
Simultaneously, the professional Republicans passively allowed the targeting of Donald Trump by a fully weaponized intelligence apparatus and justice system to commence. To say the professionally Republican were willfully blind would be polite and generously honest.
In the background the RNC did nothing. The California ballot harvesting operation of 2018 reflected a complete lack of action by the RNC or CA GOP. We all well remember how that operation expanded nationwide in 2020, again with the RNC doing nothing.
This is the reality of what took place between the elections of 2010 and 2020. Every ask of the professionally rRpublican apparatus was delivered by voters. Every ask of the voters in return was ignored. Effective January 2021, Obamacare still exists, no budget was ever produced, the borders were unsecured, the economy tanked due to Biden policy, energy and printing presses. Crises, along with insufferable government mandates, amplified and expanded from coast to coast.
The Green New Deal was passed by Republicans and Democrats, and the collapse of the economy came with it.
Clear enough?
Suddenly, as if there was no background of repeated broken promises and a complete failure to deliver on any key request, Kevin McCarthy and his legion of professionally Republican supporters pretend they cannot fathom why the base voters are more than happy to support Matt Gaetz.

Matt Gaetz is a RINO: “Russia’s Interests, Not Ours!”
His move to defund Ukraine benefited Russia, one of the biggest anti-Israel governments. The Russian Federation’s undermining and defamation war against Israel directly affects America’s interests. Since the US needs Israel to contain Iran and nuclear Islamism.

So, you like to teach us Russian?
…seems like you’re the “RINO.”

LOL. Hunter got MILLIONS from Russia too.
And the Russian tycoons that gave him money are somehow exempt from sanctions related to the invasion of Ukraine.

Matt Gaetz dreams of a UNI-Country called Moscowash.
Washington meets Moscow, East meets West corruption and Deep State.

Matt Gaetz teamed-up with Democrat leader Hakeem “Louis Farrakhan is honorable” Jeffries to oust McCarthy.
He formed his own Uni-Party.

This is the best summary of political history I have ever seen. And the ad hominem attacks on Gaetz PROVE it, if it needed verification.

He teamed-up with Hakeem “I think Louis Farrakhan is honoroble” Jeffries, the Democrat minority leader. Only 8 Republicans including Gaetz defected to the Democrat side. The lawfirm of Jeffries & Gaetz.
Forming his own “Uni-Party”.

In the Senate, we have the Uni-Party of Chuck Shumer and Mitch McConnell.
But in the House, we have the other uni-party of Matt Gaetz and Hakeem Jeffries.

He is right. The border is so bad it is like D day in reverse. Has the republicans pressured garland to charge Biden with treason or brought impeachment against Biden? NO. The republicans always talk in TV but do nothing.

Absolutely! Can someone please prove to me that Matt Gaetz went after McCarthy because of principled integrity and not because McCarthy would not stop the investigation of Gaetz?

Garbage in, garbage out! When traitors are calling the shots this is simply the results, and that is meant across the board too. To believe that you can vote yourself out of this mess is truly insanity. Look where it has gotten you to this point in time. Politicians are owned and not by the people.

You’re going to tell me that Matt Gaetz went after McCarthy out of principled integrity in defense of the Constitution and to stop the fleecing and destruction of the American voter and not because McCarthy would not put an end to the investigation against him? This will be forgotten in 15 minutes and it will be back to the Uniparty business as usual.
“Yes, unlike Republicans, Democrats are united: in an unblinking desire to wreck America.
The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives has been forced to vacate the chair. Can we vacate the White House too? It’s not like the occupant of the White House would know the difference.
Just give him an ice cream cone.
If we could paralyze the Senate, President and Supreme Court like the House, America might yet be saved.
I’m hearing the familiar argument that the latest implosion of the Republicans only helps the Democrats.
The Democrats (plus RINOs) don’t need any help. They are fully in control of the agenda and the government, and have been for decades or longer.
It doesn’t really matter. Most of the Republicans are bought and sold, at this point. The two parties are fused. Perhaps Nancy Pelosi will take over again. Real Americans prepared to be done with both of these parties must be prepared to walk away, fight or simply submit.” – Michael j. Hurd

I forget who wrote it, my bad!, but that person pointed out how quiet all the Republicans have been as the border is totally invaded with thousands coming across daily! Where was their outrage then? All we heard were crickets! The most egregious assault on our country and no outrage ?? For that reason alone it was time to shake things up, and one hopes the next Speaker will not only address this invasion but work to STOP IT IN ITS TRACKS!!!
