House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's ouster is a symptom of a much broader malaise.
Given Republicans' inability to save our country through legitimate means, i.e., working through the system, will this firing be enough?
I hope my readers believe in the moral application of the Rule of Law as I do. But will this ouster work, or have we come a point where the political state has exceeded that marker?
I will make the case that the America of bygone years is gone and not likely to return except through divine intervention or extra-legal actions. So what is to be done? Why we have allowed this to happen despite how much we have lost and will continue to lose if we play the same zero-sum game?
America has been on the precipice for a long time. Freedom today depends as much on how much money one has as on the God-given rights we were told we all possessed. Inflation has ripped the bandage off for most of us, who now realize how close to losing our freedoms we are. Freedom is inexorably tied to our personal and property rights. When our money is destroyed by inflation, we do not feel free.
I liken where we are today to France in 1940.
On the third of September 1939, France declared war on Germany. The mindset of French citizens was moody but strangely upbeat. The French created the Maginot Line in the 1930s due to the persistent threat of a revitalized Germany. France believed their Maginot Line was impenetrable and would deter Germany or at least slow them down enough until Britain could bolster their defense.
As a result, French leadership and its people felt secure and could indulge in non-essential activities, living as though they were any normal country.
The problem was...

If the marxists collapse the free enterprise system, I doubt that they will be able to “Build Back Better” with communism. They have never built anything in their lives. The whole country could be just like the slums of Chicago.
RINO Season is open. This time, make it count for something.
Works for me
“God Bless America.”

“The producers, ... are now a minority in our own country, with only 134 million working out of nearly 340 million.”
Calling all Galts. Time for a general strike.
Better late than never.
How about a return to common sense? You know, things like working together to get something done, balancing your check book monthly and don’t live outside your means, family and boys and girls only,, teach things that matter like history, reading and math not opinions, enforce our border laws, have a strong military and keep the government out of people’s lives and protect the country and get rid of all the useless government institutions.
Most of the planks in the communist agenda of the 19th century have been firmly in place here in the U.S. for decades.
The Establishment Pukes have made themselves know to all of us. This coming Primary Cycle is the only time that we have to clear them out. Far too many of us fail to understand how important the Primary Races are and do not participate. I have been saying this for years.
“Better late than never.”
Maybe Brandon will come and walk a picket line with us.
This should have been done to Paul RYNO at the start of Trump’s first term!!!!
“What will it take to translate that anger into action?”
The governor of NM found out; armed men in the street saying ‘come and get them!’
That’s one thing he malevolents have to do: take the guns.
Trump is endorsing Jordan for Speaker. and there is now talk about removing the Motion to Vacate clause under certain conditions. I like what I’m hearing and the direction this is headed. If we get the right Speaker, then the moderates would use the Motion to Vacate in retaliation. If Jordan is elected SOTH and the Motion is removed, it’s a great victory.
what if Jordan was the replacement plan all along, even before the trigger was pulled?
I think that would make Gaetz BRILLIANT!
Gaetz made the right call in leading the ouster of McCarthy. And now, the more that comes to light it reinforces Gaetz actions.
As for Jordan backing McCarthy, I don’t hold that against him. Had he joined with the 8, he would never be able to garner the support of McCarthy moderates needed in order to get him across the threshold to Speaker.
Just food for thought, what if Trump, Jordan and the 8, worked in unison to overthrow McCarthy?
It’s possible, and if so, applaudable!!!
Jordan for the win & the block
Aside from President Trump, the GOP has no leadership. All they know how to do is raise money, but then we get no positive results from it.
Bygone years?
That cat has run oui of the bag, found a dame, and has had 4 litters, and all prospering by now.
I do not wish for the bygone days of major nationwide riots.
I do not wish for a replay of the Bush-Clinton-Bush years.
The bygone days of the anti-Communists laws and the anti-homosexual laws, were there for good reasons, which are being justified throughout today’s society.
Ever since the Vietnam War, we have placed our military in the middlle of so many squabbles, and mostly due to bleeding hearts’ outcries, and not because of any major financial or political gain.
Bygone days? There have been too many shifts, politically, socially, economically, and let’s not forget how that computer in your pocket has drastically changed.
As a remembrance of olde, Census 2000, was the first census performed utilizing desktop computers for the collimating of dats. However, all the employee timesheets were done in #2pencil.
Bygone days of olde, was a Suffolk County,Long Island, NY, 1993 movie multiplex, where theater goers were catching bullets from a shootout 2 cinemas apart.
No thanks, I can stay home in safety, download a movie from a website and stay safe.
You are making too much sense.
“the GOP has no leadership. All they know how to do is raise money, “
And, apparently, KM was/is the second highest recipient of money from lobbyists, PACs, etc. If true, his lies, pandering to Biden, ceding House Speakership to Jeffries, etc., all make perfect sense.
I guess your bygone days are a little more recent and a little less enjoyable than others.
