I heard the former Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, give his opinion of the current House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, and it made a lot of sense, and I think it is spot-on. McCarthy said there are two types of people, and they can be classified as Thermostats and Thermometers.

Must See Matt Gaetz … How The UniParty Uses “Shutdowns” And “Continuing Resolutions” To Avoid Accountability And Spend, Spend, Spend
Great interview by Matt Gaetz. He explains how the UniParty prevents the normal appropriations process from taking place to create a scenario where the government is going to “shut down” unless there is a single up or down vote on a “continuing resolution” to fund the entire government.

McCarthy Announces Biden Impeachment Dog and Pony Show
On a split screen, I was amazed to see Kevin McCarthy’s announcement covered simultaneously on FOXNews, MSNBC, and CNN, but the post comments could not be further apart. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) on MSNBC, called the Speaker’s actions and the MAGA Republicans an arm of the Trump campaign.
The Debt Deal … GOP “Leaders” YET AGAIN Betray GOP Voters

Speaker Race: Everyone’s Take Is Wrong
That’s right, every take I’ve heard on the US Speaker’s race drama is wrong… at least according to me! The issue with most takes is they either lack nuance or any semblance of knowledge of the political process.

Hakeem Jeffries – A Vicious, Petty, Inconsiderate, Ingracious, Little Man
TMEW and I have been ill most of the week and we’re just getting back on our feet – really bad cases of the flu. I generally don’t get sick often but when I do, it’s full beast mode. The typical aches, pains, low-grade temp – but no coughing for me. What I did get … Read more
“What a Historic and Wonderful First Week of 2023”
I personally couldn’t be more proud of the courageous 20 House Representatives in DC who risked everything for their constituents AND for those of us who are also disgusted and appalled at the feckless weak Rs in our state and in the DC Swamp… Rs who’ve done little to nothing to “right” the course of the sinking American ship!!!
Tucker Carlson on the Speaker Kerfuffle in the US House – “It Should Be Hard to Become Speaker of the House”
I’ve weighed in on this US House Speaker thingamabob at NHJournal and on these pages, and I’m not in the minority. Not among Groksters or rank-and-file Republicans. It’s not only not embarrassing, but most don’t believe McCarthy should be the House Speaker. This means they are standing with the holdouts in Congress or at least the idea of them.
Matt Gaetz Explains The Hold Up in the Vote to Elect a Speaker in the US House
To quote myself, from a piece published last night at NH Journal, “Everyone runs on bringing change to Washington DC, but nothing changes. Maybe the folks forgot what change might look like or what was required to get it, and now that it’s here, they find they don’t have the stomach for it.

I learned something new today. Former RNC chairman (2009-2011) Michael Steele (no known relation to Christopher of the fake Dossier) has a paid gig as a political analyst at MSNBC. So, while Christopher got paid to collect lies, Michael gets paid to create them. And he does.
Are Some “America First” Candidates Who Support Kevin McCarthy Deep State Enablers?
Every election cycle, candidates make promises to their constituents – but many times, those promises are rarely fulfilled. To make matters worse, once in office, politicians have a 90+% chance for re-election – which is why the swamp never gets drained.
