"I won't be voting for Kevin McCarthy tomorrow. He's part of the problem. He's not part of the solution," Good told Fox News on Monday. "There's nothing that indicates to me that he's going to change his pattern since he's been in leadership, where he's part of the swamp cartel."

Good can expect a phone call from the head of the country, encouraging him to vote the "right" way

"We'll see how much it will take to get him onto our side; I'll also talk to McConnell"

But we have a God to whom George Soros will some day bow the knee and give account and answer to, and the fate of this country and world is in His hands, not Soros’.

Lord, Please, according to Your will and plans, have the man or woman installed as Speaker of the House who will fulfill YOUR plans for it, in spite of themselves.

The MSM has been very gentle on McCarthy and that should be a tell.

What if Kevin takes his ball and returns home to the Demonrats and a few of his sycophants join him?

The Repubs could be in deep shite if this scenario plays out assuming there is no little known rule preventing it.

That’s a scenario that certainly could happen. This week will be a tightrope for all involved. Both the conservatives and GOPe don’t have much room for error.

He proposed his first act would be to fire the 87k IRS agents (which the Senate will oppose) instead of releasing the Jan 6 defendants from DC jail and publicizing Biden’s laptop after firing head of FBI.
