Circular firing squad, House GOP edition

It's time for the spoiled brats in the House GOP Conference to grow up. Led by Andy Biggs and Matt Gaetz, these so-called principled conservatives should be considered prima donnas who threaten blowing up the House GOP conference after losing the primary by a score of 188-31.

The Prima Donna wing of the House GOP got 14% of the vote. The Commitment to America is filled with things that they support. Despite that, these prima donnas aren't satisfied. Shame on these spoiled brats. Perhaps it's time to primary these spoiled brats. They might still win but at least they'll get the message that they're supposed to be part of a team in addition to representing their districts.

If Biggs, Gaetz and others from the Prima Donna Wing of the House GOP vote present, then that gives Speaker-in-Waiting McCarthy a little more margin for error. At that point, McCarthy would only need 213 votes to gain the Speaker's Gavel.

Rep. Bob Good, (R-VA), recently said "Kevin McCarthy has done nothing in two years to earn my vote." It sounds like he'd rather be in the minority. The past 2 years, McCarthy raised $480,000,000 for the NRCC, campaigned tirelessly for GOP candidates nationwide empowered working groups to put together the items that comprise the Commitment to America. What did Good, Gaetz or Biggs do to create this GOP majority?

It's time for these spoiled brats to put winning ahead of their over-sized egos.

Biggs admitted in this interview that he doesn't have a plan other than to obstruct:

A little over 3 minutes into the interview, Biggs floats the idea of a consensus candidate. It's telling that he didn't mention the name for that consensus candidate. Biggs ran and lost in a lopside race. Now he's upset that he didn't win. How many candidates did he recruit? How much money did he raise for other candidates? Other than winning his race, what did he do to create this new GOP majority?

As for the rule changes he's proposing, they're nuttier than a batch of fruit cake. They essentially call for neutering the Speaker. They call for putting the power in the hands of committee chairs. How can a Speaker negotiate with the president when his conference is divided? That's a recipe for disaster.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
