The House has vast, unique power over the federal government, and it’s currently throwing that power away. Here’s how Kevin McCarthy can change things.
To quote W. C. Fields, there comes a time in the life of every man “when he must take the bull squarely by the tail and face the situation.” A more appropriate description of the fetid swamp that is D.C. could hardly be made. Democrats are trying to destroy America as quickly as possible, and Republicans seem somewhat befuddled as to what they can do. After all, they only control (by the barest of margins) a single House of Congress and face a virulent incompetent across the Resolute Desk. Their leader in the House is suddenly being accused of being a squish, having surrendered in the debt limit negotiations while gaining very little.
To quote Vito Corleone, it’s time to make them an offer they can’t refuse. And if McCarthy holds firm, America will celebrate. Let me ‘splain it to you.
One of the promises Kevin McCarthy made was that the House would operate under “regular order.” That means, among other things, that each departmental appropriations bill will come up for a vote by itself. So, the Department of the Interior gets a vote, the Department of Education gets a vote, and so on. This is radically different from “Omnibus” appropriations that have come year after year when negotiations break down, or the House just doesn’t get its work done. When that happens, bureaucrats celebrate, and taxpayers get screwed.
Suppose that the Speaker gives his various committees “drop dead” dates for getting bills to the floor. On top of that, suppose there are some conservative ideas in those bills. The Education bill might be a good place to start. After all, that’s where the street fighting...

Good ideas, but RINOs are really democRATs.
Yes....why is that so hard for many to see?
identify enemy entities that we fund, and defund 'em.
PBS, NEA, and etc.
Effective immediately after passage.
They can talk and investigate all they want, but no one goes away until you stop paying them, and the Republicans have proven (so far) their unwillingness or inability to prosecute and remove/imprison evil doers.
.
Defund:
Dept of Education,
FBI, especially Wray’;s salary - reduce it to ONE PENNY,
No money for windmills (they KILL whales, birds, bats,...), EVs, green sh1t,
NPR, PBS
I can go on...
Ideas are just that.
End federal government grants other than Pell grants.
One of the promises Kevin McCarthy made was that the House would operate under “regular order.”
You mean there’s a promise left that he has broken yet?
“The House has vast, unique power over the federal government, and it’s currently throwing that power away. “
This is a surprise to someone? Why even bother reading past the first line here?
This is all going where it’s going and the republicans are pushing it all right along.
If the parties situations were reversed the demonseed would be absolutely maximizing the power of the House.
They haven’t got the pelotas.

McCarthy, Jordan, Scalise et al are very good talkers.
And lousy doers.

Yep, absolutely there are productive and effective actions they can take. But they think we are stupid and blow smoke up our skirts instead.
I like it,should happen,but the wimp McCarthy has shown his true colors the guy is a wimp
