Now that the Republican Party controls both Houses of Congress they must stop being the stupid party

Every time the Republican Party gains control of Congress they perform rather badly.  Individual Republicans are elected to office when they promise to support individual liberty, free market capitalism, and the Constitution.  Thanks to the Republican Party establishment they usually fail to deliver.  The Republican Party establishment wields way to much power over what takes place in Washington DC and it is exceedingly corrupt.  The Republican Party establishment is the reason why the Republican Party is the stupid party.  That cabal of elites cares nothing for Conservative principles. All they care about is power.  They are far more to the political left than those that vote for Republicans.

During President Trump’s first term the Republican Party establishment in both Houses repeatedly undermined President Trump, stabbing them in the back over and over again.

Conservatives on social began calling for the selection of a true Conservative as Senate Majority Leader immediately after it became clear that the Republicans would gain control.  As you can see from this article, After Trump Landslide, GOP Senate Votes For Business As Usual, they were ignored

Republicans elected a reincarnation of retiring GOP Senate chief Mitch McConnell to lead the upper chamber on Wednesday following former President Donald Trump’s overwhelming win last week.

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota was promoted from Republican Senate whip to majority leader on the second secret ballot with 29 votes in a contest against Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who received 24. The two lawmakers edged out a challenge from Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who only captured three more votes for his candidacy for leader compared to his previous challenge to McConnell in 2022. Scott had run two years ago after McConnell funneled scarce campaign resources to win safe seats in the midterms while competitive candidates in key states were stripped of funding over their opposition to the incumbent Senate chief.

Senator Thune said the right things upon being selected: John Thune: Senate GOP ‘Excited’ to Put Trump’s Agenda into Action

Just got off the phone with [Donald Trump.] Senate Republicans are excited and ready to get to work implementing President Trump’s agenda on behalf of the American people,

We have a mandate from the American people, a mandate not only to clean up the mess left by the Biden-Harris-Schumer agenda but also to deliver on President Trump’s priorities,

We will make sure that the President and his team have the tools and support that they need to enforce border security laws and to remove the violent criminals who are wreaking havoc in every one of our states. We will work to make America prosperous again by streamlining the bureaucratic machine and overturning costly Biden-Harris regulations, and we will work to restore American energy dominance, not just our energy security, but energy dominance, which will lower costs and bolster our national security.

I do not believe Senator Thune will follow through on any of President Trump’s agenda.  The Senate will be the same circular firing squad.  I hope I am wrong.

Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth Oh My!

Get ’em skeered and keep the skeer on ’em

General Nathan Bedford Forest CSA

President Elect Donald Trump has come out of the gate with a bunch of nominations for various positions in the government.

A few have not been all that surprising but the three above have given the left the vapors.

And while all kinds of people are suggesting that these folks (particularly Gaetz) are not good picks and even some republicans in the Senate are (not on the record of course) suggesting they would not be approved let me point out one key thing.

The left/media are going absolutely apoplectic over them.

So if you are having doubts about Trumps picks (particularly the pick for AG) let me remind you of the wise words of the man who four years ago returned the talent he had on loan from God.

Rush Limbaugh: The left will always tell you who they fear!

And so does the deep state.

We get one shot to dismantle this stuff. In two years there will be another presidential campaign and Donald Trump will not be running. Cripes he’s old enough that he might not even last the four years until that comes. (yes I know he’s in excellent shape but I’ve outlived a bunch of my peers who were in far better shape than me) This being the case I suggest not quibbling over choices that he apparently has given a lot of thought to since he was ready to roll with them in less than a week and put all our energies into supporting those choices and letting them run wild.

Fear makes your enemies sloppy, fear makes your enemies careless. Fear makes your enemies try to make deals in your favor.

Let’s keep them afraid.
