I love it when conservative Republican warriors like Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert win by huge margins.

It means that they can continue to be outspoken and their base has their backs.

His district is very red. That’s the kind of district that produces the MTG’s out there.

McCarthy and all the RINO PACS were throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Matt Gaetz.

As for old Lincolnhead Levin, he continues to be a weird mystery.

I agree with Gaetz on most things but sometimes give pause to his tactics as beneficial to our side or not? I give him a 90% which is an A at university. Gaetz is like a bull in a china shop. But at times we need a Bull in the China Shop, also known as Congress. Gaetz ignores the norms of decorum in Congress, “The Old Boys Club of power, avarice, deceit, betrayal, megalomania, and greed.”

Congress needs this bull in their “China Shop.”

My apologies to Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and other females in congress. They are part of the “Old Boys Club” and also wield great power. Nancy took out The President of The United States! She was “Old Boy #1 on this. Reminds me of the scene in the Godfather when a man that would not toe the line woke up with his prized horse’s head in bed. He got the message.
