With the Speaker of the House debacle the Republican Party proves once again they are the stupid party

It is inaccurate to say that the Republican Party removed Kevin McCarthy from the Speakership of the House of Representatives.   In reality, eight traitorous Republicans conspired with all of the Democrats in the House to remove the Republican Speaker.  Democrats would never conspire to do anything with the other side of the isle because Democrats have always been far more united than the Republicans.  On this one point the Republicans should emulate the Democrats. 

If all of the Republicans in the House had stood united and removed McCarthy bccause he violated his promises, then quickly replaced him with a true Conservative, the Republicans would be worthy of praise rather than the ridicule they have earned.

Republicans are proving just how stupid they are and earning all of the ridicule hurled at them as this debacle stretches on and on.  What makes this farce worse is the fact that the most worthy Conservative candidate will most likely be rejected, 20 House Republicans Decline to Vote for Jim Jordan for Speaker (breitbart.com)

Twenty House Republicans on Tuesday declined to vote to make Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) the next Speaker of the House.

“With Jordan supporter Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) absent, Jordan could not lose more than three Republicans on his quest to receive the necessary 217 votes. Bilirakis is expected back in Washington on Tuesday evening,” Breitbart News’s Bradley Jaye wrote.

Twenty House Republicans declined to vote for Jordan as the Ohio Republican is within striking distance of becoming the next Speaker of the House.

It is becoming obvious to everyone just how moronic the Republicans are: The Party of Idiots (townhall.com)

It starts at the top, with the head of the Republican National Committee agreeing to two primary debates with Fox News and Telemundo, where the questions were either better suited to a Democrat debate or just so far beyond stupid that embarrassment is the only thing anyone should feel for those involved. (That dumb “Survivor” question, anyone?)

From there, a tiny group of House members decided that all the attention being focused on the failures of Democrats was bad and wandered into a field of rakes, stepping on them with glee as each handle smacked them in the face. “We need to rock the boat” is something people on the Titanic never said, but these Republicans chose to steer the ship into the iceberg for…reasons. 

If Republicans could get the hell out of their own way, they might actually get some really good things done. If they could stop walking out into a field of rakes and stop buying and throwing so many rakes on the ground everywhere, we might win. 

Instead, the Republican Party is a party of idiots. Idiots are very good at getting on highly rated cable TV shows and having a large social media following, but they are horrible at leading. Horrible at addressing problems. They are horrible at not making literally everything about them. 

This saga keeps getting more and more ridiculous.  Check out these three articles:

Why Republicans Are Plotting Against Jordan In the Race for Speaker (townhall.com)

NBC News reported that U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) and several other Republicans have participated in closed-door meetings with Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to reach a solution to keep Jordan from securing the required 218 votes to become the new House Speaker.

Only five Republicans need to vote “no” to succeed. 

“They put us in this ditch along with eight traitors,” Rogers told reporters. “We’re still the majority party; we’re willing to work with them, but they gotta tell us what they need.”

Scalise Trying to Undermine Jordan Speakership Bid Ahead of 2nd Ballot (breitbart.com)

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) is attempting to undermine Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) bid for the Speakership gavel after voting for him on the first ballot, sources familiar with the matter have confirmed to Breitbart News. 

CNN’s Annie Grayer noted on X that the majority leader would not commit to helping Jordan secure the 17 outstanding votes he needs for the top House job. This is despite Jordan requesting his aid, as the House has not had a Speaker since now-former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was removed on October 3. Sources on Capitol Hill have confirmed Grayer’s reporting to Breitbart News. 

As she puts it, sources say Scalise, who failed in his bid for the gavel, is “Not being a team player.” 

Jeffries: ‘Informal Conversations’ Taking Place for Bipartisan Solution to Speakership (breitbart.com)

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “informal conversations” are taking place for a bipartisan solution to the House speakership.

Anchor Kristen Welker said, “Are you actually having conversations behind the scenes with the Republican counterparts about trying to create a bipartisan solution, a governing coalition?”  Jeffries said, “There are informal conversations that have been underway. When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it’s important to begin to formalize those discussions.”

RINOS WIN: Jim Jordan Withdraws, Won’t Seek Third Vote

This week College students across the United States proved just how brainwashed they are

For the past several decades college campuses have been centers of progressive indoctrination rather than centers of higher learning.  Over the past several years this has escalated to all out brainwashing.  Just how brainwashed college students are became obvious in the wake of the horrendous attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel.  Almost immediately after the cowardly attack began, demonstrations erupted on college campuses in support of the Hamas terrorists: College Students Blame Israel For Hamas Terror Attack (thefederalist.com)

Over 30 Harvard student organizations made a joint statement the day of the assault, writing that Israel is “entirely responsible” for the “unfolding violence.”

Columbia University students from the groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace asserted that “the weight of responsibility for the war and casualties undeniably lies with the Israeli extremist government and other Western governments.” Likewise, Students for Justice in Palestine at Northwestern University affirmed in the aftermath of the attack that they “stand unwavering in our commitment to highlighting the profound injustices faced by the Palestinian people.”

A cursory examination of statements released during these demonstrations prove how extensive this brainwashing is.

All the statements used left-wing, anti-colonial language. Harvard  students described Israel as an “apartheid regime” that forced Palestinians into “colonial retaliation.” Columbia students characterized the Israelis as “extremist … colonial-settlers.” Northwestern University students stated that it is a “grievous miscarriage of justice to portray Palestinians as the aggressors in this occupation” and that it is “morally untenable to portray Israel as the victim.”

“From Algeria to Ireland, from South Africa to Vietnam, from East Timur to Tibet, and from Native American to Black American civil rights struggles, the human desire for autonomy and dignity has historically remained powerful and unwavering,” wrote the Northwestern students. “The Palestinian narrative and efforts are woven from this same fabric of endurance and determination.”

There is nothing wrong and much right about universities encouraging discussion about the history of the Middle East, the fraught politics of the region, the rights and wrongs of Israeli and Arab policies, and dissent from US policies. Academic halls and the streets of America are supposed to be realms of free speech and vigorous disagreement. As long as the vigorous debate remains peaceful and rational it should be encouraged. It’s not like anyone is above criticism.

But that is not what we are witnessing. Instead, we see the constant celebration of brutality. The murder and rape of countless civilians. The kidnapping of innocents, and the justification of evil in the name of “anti-colonialism.” If this is what anticolonialism looks like–gang rapes and kidnappings–I guess I prefer colonialism and you should too.

Our major universities, though, have become breeding grounds for an ideology that celebrates this brutality, both here and abroad. Hatred of the West has become their “brand.” Wokism is yet another, even more ideologically radical version of Marxism that exceeds the evils promoted by Marx and Engels themselves. It aims to eradicate and not in any way build upon what has been built in the West over the centuries. Marx thought he could supplant it through revolution; today’s woke just want to completely destroy it.

To win future elections Republicans must fight the Culture War

For far too long members of the Republican Party stood on the sidelines while the Democratic Party waged an all-out war on all aspects of tradition American culture.  The Republican establishment did not believe this was a war worth fighting.  They did not believe the culture war mattered at all.  They believed that it was a war they could not win. 

The sorry state our society is in is proof that that the culture war was most definitely worth fighting.

This article is proof that standing up for traditional American values against the Cultural Marxism of the Democratic Party will be a winning issue in 2024: Trans Mania, Culture Issues Top Concerns In New GOP Voter Poll (thefederalist.com)

A new poll out Wednesday reveals a major shift in Republican voters’ attitudes, emphasizing “culture war” issues such as the transgender craze instead of the “Old Right” consensus prioritizing taxes and trade.

According to an American Compass/YouGov survey of 1,000 Republicans who voted in the 2022 midterms, respondents overwhelmingly emphasized cultural issues as the most important challenges to face the nation. When asked to select at least two and up to five topics from a list as the most pressing problems of the day, voters were by far most concerned with cultural issues such as transgenderism, woke capitalism, and critical race theory, in addition to the border crisis and globalism. “Transgender activism” was selected the most, at 69 percent. 

Previous surveys this year have revealed a shift in opinion among the broader American public away from transgenderism. A Gallup poll in June found 55 percent of Americans believe it is “morally wrong” to attempt to “change” one’s sex, up from 51 percent two years ago. Overwhelming majorities opposed bending sex requirements for athletic competitions.

Because the Republicans have let the Democrats run the table on cultural issues Democrats have become emboldened.  They have used these cultural issues to amass massive amounts of political power.  Because the Democratic party has been taken over by radical Marxists, they seek to achieve complete control over the American people.  The culture war is the perfect vehicle for this, Almost Like Metaphysics: Democrats Use Issues to Push for Total Control – American Thinker

Climate change is useful because it is a planet-threatening problem that requires systemic change enforced by the government, requiring ever-greater government control over our lives, like the Covid pandemic. Transgenderism is another power play, an attempt to override reality by government fiat. It places the state in the middle of the family, giving the state the last word on the question of the human person, fracturing the natural power structure of the family, and establishing the state as a competing authority with parents.

Transgenderism is a step towards creating a competing power center within the family. If it succeeds, other “children’s rights” issues will emerge. The radical international left wants all people, beginning as children, to have their principal relationship with the state, which they are determined to control. Pitting children against parents or a parent against a parent is an attack on our civilization. Civilization is founded upon interlocking communities of mutual support. The family is the ur-community of civil society.

Unless Republicans take up the fight in earnest in time for the 2024 House and Senate elections it will be too late, Democrats Have Become The Party Of Authoritarianism (thefederalist.com)

Despite the outdated moniker of “social justice warrior,” leftist Democrats aren’t interested in real justice. They’re interested in gaining and using power. Once they have it, they’ll use it against their enemies. Appealing to their desire for civil comity is futile. They have no use for comity so long as they have power.

The United States is now a full fledged Police State

Without a doubt the founding fathers of this great nation are now spinning in their graves.  They pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to create a Constitutional Republic where each and every individual was meant to be free.  What we have now is the exact polar opposite of the free society they hoped to create.  As you can see from this Patriot Project article, conditions here in the United States have deteriorated to the point where the people have finally noticed.

Almost three-quarters of Americans are worried that the United States is devolving into a tyrannical police state that conducts mass surveillance, ideological indoctrination, censorship and the partisan targeting of political opponents, according to a new poll.

The latest survey by Rasmussen Reports found that 72 percent of likely voters are concerned that America is becoming a police state, with 46 percent saying they’re “very concerned.” Only 23 percent say they are not concerned.

In another indication of the public’s growing distrust of the U.S. intelligence community, half the respondents strongly agree that “the FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law-abiding Americans.”

I was most surprised by this poll for a couple reasons.  Most Americans still seemed to be asleep to the fact that their freedoms have been all but stripped away.  To get that high percentage of positive responses, a significant percentage of those on the left would have agreed.

That last point most surprised me because Democrats have an abysmal record when it comes to freedom.  Guess what? An alarming number of Democrats think YOU have too much freedom as an American – Louder With Crowder

47% of Democrats say speech should only be legal “under certain circumstances.”

52% of Democrats support the government censoring social media under the guise of “national security.”

34% of Democrats say Americans have TOO MUCH freedom,

75% of Democrats support government censoring what they define as “hate speech.”

Both political parties are responsible for the transformation of the United States into a police state, thanks to the war on terror.  This transformation has greatly accelerated under the Biden Regime, ‘Used for political speech …’ FOIA shows Biden’s DHS censoring Americans was ABSOLUTELY political – Twitchy

New documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests show that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) argued that the agency could regulate speech related to “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine” as well as “irregular immigration.”

Those subjects stretch across much of the “space” used for political speech in the last few years.

So DHS asserted the authority to target viewpoints on racial justice, Ukraine, and other political subjects, including views based on fact but viewed as misleading in context.

Only 13 percent, in one survey, knew when the US Constitution was ratified, for example. Most couldn’t say which countries the US fought in World War II; only one in four could even say why American colonists fought a war against Great Britain. Unsurprisingly, older Americans have the easiest time of it, with 74 percent answering at least six in 10 questions correctly. Among those under the age of 45, only one in five pass, which says a lot about the debased standards of common knowledge expected of students in US schools, whose founding purpose was to prepare ordinary people for self-government.

A well armed American citizenry is the only force that can roll back our police state, that is why Biden Pledges to ‘Centralize, Accelerate, and Intensify’ Gun Control Push (breitbart.com).

While announcing the launch of the executive Office of Gun Violence Prevention, President Joe Biden pledged to use the office to “centralize, accelerate, and intensify” his administration’s gun control push.

Biden noted that he has chosen Vice President Kamala Harris to oversee the office.

After Biden announced the launch of the new office on Friday, he then called for an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, and universal background checks. He also called for Congress to take action for more gun restrictions then he pledged to use the office to “centralize, accelerate, and intensify” his administration’s gun control push.
