No more ‘status quo’ in D.C.

As much as the establishment uniparty squawks, it’s time they realized that the electorate has had enough of their fiscal shenanigans and fully supports putting an end to their unholy reign.

The vote to vacate the Chair that Representative Matt Gaetz led, unseating Speaker Kevin McCarthy, was a victory in the long war to staunch the financial and moral bleeding from a critically wounded national capital.

How long this victory will last depends on whether the republican majority in the House can support a replacement who will treat the nation’s $33 Trillion debt, the demolition of the First Amendment, and the invasion of the southern border as a clear and present danger. It was the first skirmish to put an end to the status quo of inaction.

McCarthy has made his short tenure an act of spite aimed at fiscal conservatives

Bankruptcy is already upon us, creating a dire financial debacle that McCarthy disdained. His priority was to seal disastrous deals with the enemy sitting in the Oval Office that entrenched accelerating inflation. He ignored the hard work the conference had done to pass a workable, though imperfect, financial plan last spring to limit the debt ceiling. McCarthy completely disregarded what the House had sweated out in order to hand the White House carte blanche spending. The result was no debt ceiling at all, hammering the first nail into McCarthy’s coffin.

McCarthy has made his short tenure an act of spite aimed at fiscal conservatives by scorning his signed agreement with the opposition, who distrusted his troth knowing he had broken promises in the past, to gain their support for the speakership. The vote to vacate the chair was driven by ten months of his refusal to honor his word to move ahead with writing a lawful budget and passing 12 separate appropriations bills by June 30, and dragging his feet on deserved impeachment proceedings for A.G. Merrick Garland, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Chris Wray to start.

Incontrovertible evidence kept being uncovered about Joe Biden’s accepting bribes through his son from enemies of the United States, yet McCarthy refused to take action on the credible proof. He waited until the performative proceedings served as a distraction to pass another Continuing Resolution that had absolutely nothing in it to constrain the vastly bloated (non)budget.

The bills that McCarthy finally allowed to reach the floor of the House were meant to die there

The bills that McCarthy finally allowed to reach the floor of the House that would have impact on the border crisis, halting Ukraine funding, paid armed services members, supported veterans and funded DOD without underwriting LGBTQ special interests, were meant to die there. He worked the system to make sure the Senate wouldn’t touch any of the legislation, making them pointless lip service to what the American people demanded.

That the establishment unmasked their RINOS, who openly vilified the eight members of the republican caucus with the chutzpah to stand on their convictions, exactly as their constituents demanded, is a testament to the corruption that was itching to be confronted. And confront them, Matt Gaetz and cohorts did, only to suffer for being true to their word.

Newt Gingrich has squandered his statesman image

In the midst of the media-generated turmoil, Newt Gingrich has squandered his statesman image by attacking members of Congress who properly invoked parliamentary procedure to effectuate change. What the lobby-run toadies have proven is that they are willing to do anything to retain special interests’ funding to keep their seats. The most undeserving people in office are the ones trying to remove those most deserving of support for being the People’s vanguard.

Continuing Resolutions and Omnibus funding does not fulfill the duty of keeping government spending in check

Now that the speakership is unmanned, the caucus must call upon an individual who believes in service, as opposed to consolidating power, and it must be someone who has proven their worth by honoring their word. This is exactly what the eight republicans did who voted to vacate the chair-- they stayed by their word and acted accordingly, by the rules.

The People insist that Congress do the same, that they follow the rules and stop avoiding the jobs they were elected to do. Continuing Resolutions and Omnibus funding does not fulfill the duty of keeping government spending in check. It has allowed the indiscriminate funding of ideological studies, projects, programs and activities that do not belong in a government budget.

It is long past time to return to basic governance and that means securing the border

Going as far back as President Jefferson’s Second Inaugural Address, he clarified how simple and streamlined are government fiduciary obligations: “to fulfil contracts with foreign nations, to extinguish the native right of soil within our limits, to extend those limits, and to apply such a surplus to our public debts, as places at a short day their final redemption.” He did not place “rivers, canals, roads, arts, manufactures, education, and other great objects within each state” at the feet of the federal government’s responsibility except by constitutional amendment, all of which would include programs promoting gender, environmental, scientific, or political ideology. These belong to civil society to work out, not government agencies.

It is long past time to return to basic governance and that means securing the border, protecting commerce by keeping roads, transportation hubs, forts, and armed forces in good order. The federal government has jurisdiction nowhere outside the 10 square miles of Washington, D.C. and the limited authority the Constitution granted the operational body. By the way, that doesn’t include rogue executive departments such as Justice, Energy, Education, Agriculture, Interior, etc. and all their administrative agencies like IRS, EPA, FBI, FDA, BIA, Fish and Wildlife, and on and on.

Battle has been engaged. One victory does not mean the war is won. Vigilance and action are necessary to restore “Truth in Legislating.”
