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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
