Sources Say "NO WAY" To Former Soros Spokesperson Rep. Tom Emmer​

Former spokesperson has pushed for an end to the electoral college, and wants popular vote instead, never Trumper and more.​

Kevin McCarthy has endorsed Tom Emmer for Speaker of the House, but is he even a conservative?

McCarthy apparently forgot to mention that Emmer was formerly a paid spokesman for the leftist George Soros-funded organization The National Popular Vote initiative.​

Sources say Emer is everything BUT a Republican Conservative. Joel Mannarino posted this showing Emmer arguing AGAINST the Electoral College:

Byron Donalds responds to AOC's 'experience' jab: 'She doesn't know what she's talking about'​

"Before I got to Congress, I spent 20 years in the financial industry, something that leadership here on Capitol Hill definitely needs," Donalds said on Fox's "The Story" with Martha MacCallum on Monday.

"Number two, I spent four years in the legislature in Florida. I chair two committees there, and number three, since being here on Capitol Hill, I've worked intimately with members of our leadership team and members all through the conference, both appropriators and authorizers to get some of our biggest pieces of legislation accomplished this Congress," he said.

He added, "So, with all due respect to miss Ocasio-Cortez, she doesn't know what she's talking about. And if the Democrats are this concerned, I would tell my colleagues see what happens if I become your speaker."

Hakeem Jeffries' Statement on Mike Johnson's Victory Is Skin-Ripping​

As for this first example, the victory of Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) as the new speaker of the House (finally) came with a speech by House Minority Leader Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). In it, Rep. Jeffries said the following:

We faced adversity on September 11th, 2001, when the [Twin] Towers and the Pentagon were unexpectedly struck, killing thousands of lives in an instant. We faced adversity right here in the House of Representatives when on January 6th, 2021, a violent mob of insurrectionists, incited by some in this Chamber, overran the House floor as part of an effort to halt the peaceful transition of power.

Yes, I wanted to rip my skin off too, but how exactly does this demonstrate how “flay-tant” statements work?

As mentioned, the first component of a flay-tant statement is that it is either a bald-faced lie or needlessly partisan. Jeffries here compared one of the most horrific days in American history to people walking into the Capitol building (let in by staff, no less) and possibly goaded into letting hell break loose by implanted federal agents.

But of course, since the people in the Capitol were Trump supporters, they were “a violent mob of insurrectionists,” while the people who just days ago did something similar in support of Palestine haven’t received a word of acknowledgment from Democrats.

Matt Gaetz Reveals the Dirty Details Behind the Republican Old Guard’s Attempt to Derail Mike Johnson’s Vote for House Speaker (VIDEO)​

During their conversation Matt Gaetz revealed the devious actions of the Old Guard Republicans in their attempts to derail Mike Johnson’s vote.

According to Matt Gaetz, Kevin McCarthy was hiding in the background actively working to sabotage the candidates who were running to replace him.

And brilliantly Mark Molinaro says, then I move for unanimous consent that the rules be waived, and we take a poll on whether or not Mike Johnson could be our Speaker nominee. And guess who objects to that unanimous consent request? — Kevin McCarthy!

Kevin McCarthy stands up and says, I object to doing a roll call on Mike Johnson. And Mike Johnson was exasperated. All the times Johnson had voted for McCarthy, had carried his water, maybe even voted for some bills he didn’t like because he was working toward the Republican conference’s stated objectives under McCarthy. And here was the thing — It showed everyone that it was actually McCarthy who was working to knife Scalise. It was actually McCarthy who was working to knife Jim Jordan. It was McCarthy working to knife everyone, and he hadn’t yet figured out a way to knife Mike Johnson. And so he was worried that there was going to be this great unifying moment, and he scuttled the unifying moment.

So because of McCarthy’s objection, we had to have this three hour delay, and candidates announce again, have another form, and guess what happens during that delay? Steve Patrick McHenry runs to the House floor, opens it up out of recess, and then adjourns till noon today. Now, why did he do that? Because they were setting up a play to block Mike Johnson with write in votes in the intra conference process for Kevin McCarthy.

They were promising people hearings on their favorite legislation, passage of bills. I heard people promised, oh, maybe you’ll get a chairmanship. And the play was for McCarthy to return as speaker and then Jim Jordan to be the deputy speaker in some sort of way, like, Dwight Schrute assistant to the regional manager posture. And that would have been debasing to Jordan, someone I like a great deal, and it would have been empowering to McCarthy.

So Garrett Graves and all these people are working to try to effectuate this return of McCarthy, and they’re telling us they’re going to be 100 votes for McCarthy on the write in. You know how many there were? 33 on the first write in. So they flame out terribly. Mike Johnson’s gaining momentum.
Ultimately, McCarthy gets 43 to vote for him on a secret ballot, but Mike Johnson gets a majority.

And then he (Mike Johnson?) says, you know what I want? I want a roll call vote so that those 43 would have to announce themselves as being for a candidate who wasn’t even running instead of a unifying force like Mike Johnson. And when we called for the roll call. Do you know how many people voted for Kevin McCarthy? Zero!

So he went from promising 100 votes, to delivering 43, to zero willing to vote for him! And everyone in the room knew at that moment that I wasn’t the force for chaos. I wasn’t causing disunity that for the last three weeks, the reason the House of Representatives has been paralyzed is because for his own selfish gain, Kevin McCarthy was sabotaging the candidacy of anyone else because he was plotting a return. And we stopped it.

So is McCarthy a power hungry troll or a petulant baby trying to destroy everything because he was kicked to the curb.

You’d think corporate media would have stopped whining and been happy that, at long last, the House finally elected a new Speaker.

You really would think, after all the querulous carping they did all week, that reporters would now be happy to have a new Speaker. But I guess you just can’t please some liberals. This morning’s New York Times headline probably tells you everything you need to know about Representative Mike Johnson (R-La.), our terrific new Speaker of the House:



He’s not just a rightwing conservative. According to the Times, aptly-named Johnson is a hard-right conservative, which is infinitely better than a limp-right conservative, which as the ladies can attest, is more or less useless, not to mention unattractive.

For its part, having recovered from a brief fainting spell, the flaccid Washington Post called Mr. Johnson the very worst name in its entire “Slander for Dummies” playbook: a Trumpian election denier:



And you know what should happen to election deniers! Who are just like insurrectionists and other Civil War treason rats. Well, except for democrat ones, like Hillary Clinton or that plump lady from Georgia, whatshername.

You’ll be forgiven for not having noticed Representative Johnson before. He appears to be one of those quiet, effective ones, who get things done and stays out of the crosshairs. Until now, of course. But don’t underestimate him. It took a lot of respect from his peers and some skillful politicking to land the Speaker gig, especially with everything swirling around the nation’s toilet bowl the way it is these days.

For a sample of his political views, here’s what Mr. Johnson tweeted about censorship and the Twitter files:

“Twitter was basically an FBI subsidiary before Elon Musk took it over... The Twitter files should be a matter of bipartisan concern for every member of Congress and every American citizen because it is a bedrock principle of our Constitution that the government does not get to decide what speech is acceptable or true."​

For what it’s worth, President Trump likes Johnson, who got all caps and an exclamation point:



Further confirming Johnson was a great choice, deranged liberals like Ed Krassenstein think Johnson’s election was the worst thing they ever heard of and are hoping it was just a Halloween prank:



The first item incoming Speaker Johnson brought to the House floor yesterday was a popular resolution affirming support for Israel and condemning Hamas that easily passed 412-10. Johnson has got a lot of work to do, what with a controversial budget deadline looming next month, and with Joe Biden sniffing everybody’s hair trying to find even more taxpayer money to send to the billionaire oligarchs losing Ukraine’s war.

After “congratulations,” and “good luck,” my message to the new speaker is: Fix Our Borders First.
