1) Rep. McCaul on if they can get a Speaker quickly so the House can begin to move to support Israel:
"We have to. The world is watching.. We need to get a Speaker by Wednesday"
2) McCaul says that Russia is tied to the attacks by Hamas. He supports having American forces working to help release Americans who are held hostage. McCaul believes Congress should pass supplemental funding for Israel
Fox is told that while there may be a chasm of support between House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).
2) But Fox is told it is believed that if it’s clear one candidate has an advantage over another, House Republicans are inclined to tilt in favor of that lawmaker.
3) The general belief is that Jordan has an edge over Scalise. And there is a wild card: former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
4) There is no love lost between McCarthy and Scalise. And if things are close, Fox is told McCarthy could tip the scales in favor of Jordan, a one-time McCarthy rival. GOPers generally believe that Scalise has worked against McCarthy during their time in the leadership.
GOP SC Rep Norman on Scalise & his pursuit of the Speakership: I think his health is an issue. I don't want somebody that is going to deteriorate in the job. This is a tough job. You got to be everywhere.. I think Jim Jordan will end up getting it and if not Scalise would be fine
1) Gaetz on Speaker race: We have two great folks running for speaker and Jim Jordan Steve Scalise, if either of them were to get a majority of the vote in the conference that's who I will be supporting on the floor.
2) Gaetz: It's an embarrassment of riches with those two, two great men, two great leaders, and I think either of them will do a great job for us.”
So it looks like whoever gets a majority in the conference everyone will support on the floor. Indications are it is close but Jim Jordan will edge it.
EMERGENCY! Israel has been attacked. We must settle on McCarthy.
Where is the proof Russia is “tied to” the attacks in Israel? What the hell kind of a statement is that to make? Someone looking to start Armageddon? Another “blame Putin” story. We already know about Iran orchestrating this and the money Biden gave it access to which translated into arms for Hamas, and the meeting that was held in Beirut last Monday to set the whole thing up. When we had newspapers a long time ago this report would have been called a waste of ink.
McCaul is a globalist RINO Derp Stater. He needs to be primaried out, along with every other member wanting to send billions to a corrupt globalist dictatorship in the Ukraine.
There isn’t. Sounds like a fabrication from McCaul.
.
Expedite the Spending of more money!
$35 Trillion wasn’t enough.
Joe just said we aren’t the World’s policeman as he pulled out of Afghanistan - and McCaul doesn’t challenge Joe’s ramblings.
Who’s going to pay this $35 Trillion while they want to Turbocharge the Spending?
I just hope McCarthy doesn’t get back in because he told Mark Levin Monday night that our first priority must be to rescue the Americans currently being held by Hamas.
I remember how the helicopters failed and 8 service members were killed with others injured back when Carter attempted such a mission.
It may be the right thing to do but way too risky especially who’s at the helm now.
That name-dropping asshat Erick Erickson was on the radio yesterday bleating about this. He said it’s likely McCarthy will use this to get reelected Speaker. We NEED a new Speaker so we can pass any needed legislation - and give money to Israel probably in the mix.
Well, also likely in the mix will be a holdup from Democrats and RINOs to slip in sump’n sump’n for Ukraine.
I’m sorry. OUR legislative system is not here to give away money - at least it wasn’t.
I’m already at the point where I go to Walmart on specific days to get marked down meats, etc. going out of date. Is the next step cases of Ramen?
I say give Israel support. The kind of support like “do your worst to Hamas and we’ll say/do nothing.” As for Ukraine, Biden can give them the money he spends taking those constant vacations.
Look McCarthy is a RINO and he is gone ,if they bring him back ,this party is finished and i am finished with them! We are way past just needing a speaker. Our country was stolen in 2020 and we are never getting it back . All this Crap were going thru right now is just B/S. You better buy ammo ,a good side arm and a reliable AR-15. When our enemies release these invaders on our country it will be twice as bad as the Israel attack. Get ready.
Bttt
It’s going to be Jordan or Scalise as I understand it.
Whoever gets the majority in the internal poll then the rest will vote for him on the floor
The theory being this can be done quickly.
Supposedly, the Wagner group recently trained Muslims at a base in Africa in tactics that Hamas used in the attack on Israel. In the videos of hostages being taken I also noticed that several of the attackers looked to be blacks rather than Arabs.
We once had a President who knew how to respond to attacks on Americans. TR: “Pedicarpus alive or Rasouli dead.” Everyone should know that the Biden administration has supported Hamas; and the Hamas charter issued in 1988 (and never revised) demands the total extirpation of Israel.
Are you a Faux News producer?
The man did nothing for 9 months, nor the entire other time he’s been in the House. But, the UNIPARTY will try to shove him back into that office as fast as they can because they know it’ll get what they want.
I’m of the opinion that the same will be for Jordan or Scalise, as well, but time will tell.
As for Russia...is McCaul going to provide the evidence? Probably not. We just have to take the word of the richest guy in Congress, who has his own Gulfstream. Gee, I wonder why he’s in DC. As for the people, they’ll believe everything that comes out of his mouth. So sad that people still behave the way they do.
“In the videos of hostages being taken I also noticed that several of the attackers looked to be blacks rather than Arabs.”
I noticed that too.
I didn’t make the connection until reading your post.
Is Scalise considered to the left of McCarthy? What’s been his beef with McCarthy?
