House Republicans are debating whether to focus impeachment efforts on Attorney General Merrick Garland after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested an inquiry against him, taking some members by surprise after much of the GOP impeachment furor had been directed at other Biden officials. In a year where the GOP has been most steadily focused on possible impeachments of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas or President Biden, McCarthy often has been the voice urging the conference to move patiently and deliberately. But he has shown more vigor when eyeing Garland, an official leading an agency often derided by the GOP but...

McCarthy does a fine job before a partial press.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News exclusively on Tuesday that he believes former President Donald Trump is “stronger today than he was in 2016.”“As usual, the media is attempting to drive a wedge between President Trump and House Republicans as our committees are holding Biden’s DOJ accountable for their two-tiered levels of justice,” McCarthy said in a brief conversation with Breitbart News on Tuesday. “The only reason Biden is using his weaponized federal government to go after President Trump is because he is Biden’s strongest political opponent, as polling continues to show.”McCarthy pointed to polls released on Tuesday from...

On Tuesday morning, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) evaluated the 2024 election and assessed former President Donald Trump’s strength in the race. McCarthy said:Can he win that election? Yeah, he can. The question is, is he the strongest to win the election? I don’t know that answer. But can somebody, anybody beat Biden? Yeah, anybody can beat Biden. Can Biden beat other people? Yes, Biden can beat ‘em. It’s on any given day.Steve Bannon, host of War Room, criticized McCarthy’s comments as disloyal. Bannon was a co-founder of Breitbart News, top brass in Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and was appointed...

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) expressed doubt Tuesday about whether Donald Trump is the best bet for the GOP to regain the White House next year. “Can he win that election? Yeah he can,” McCarthy told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” morning show. “The question is, is he the strongest to win the election? I don’t know that answer.”

DC_Draino @DC_Draino 🚨BREAKING: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy just told reporters he supports moving forward with two Trump Impeachment expungement resolutions, including for Jan 6 Historic Schiff Censure and President Trump vindication all in one week?!

Trump-Ukraine impeachment conspirator Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, USA Ret., had a meltdown Wednesday night over the censure of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) by the Republican controlled House of Representatives over his lies and deceitful conduct falsely accusing President Trump of Russian collusion. Vindman attacked Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Breitbart reporter Kristina Wong, calling Wong a “bitch.” To McCarthy, Vindman said: Vindman replied, “You are pathetic. And your deceptive efforts to damn & damage the valiant work of honorable men like @AdamSchiff will bare no fruit. In 2024, you will be sweep away & become a footnote...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) in a video statement after he was censured by Congress fantasized it was House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) being censured, not him. Schiff said after the vote to censure him passed, the subject of censure — him, in this case — is supposed to go to the bottom of the House floor, or well, to be reprimanded by members of Congress. “Something very surprising happened. After the vote passed, all of a sudden, Democratic members moved down into the well,” he said. “What happened is, it seemed like 200 of my Democratic colleagues filled the well....

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) opposed Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) privileged resolution to impeach President Joe Biden and believes her resolution can harm the House's investigations into Biden and his family. Boebert filed a privileged resolution to impeach Biden on Tuesday, meaning House leadership has two days to schedule the vote. The resolution, if it comes to the floor for a vote, will likely face a successful motion to table as now the speaker and many other House Republicans oppose the measure. "If we just bring something to the floor with only two days' notice, what case have you made to...

(Jun. 16, 2023) — Every now and then a “left field” idea strikes your humble servant. The term “left field” is used because to many, the idea would seem so far-fetched and improbable that it could never come to pass in reality. But the only way to ensure failure is to forego the attempt altogether. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/06/16/a-modest-proposal-4-0/

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on Monday a Senate Republican package to provide additional Ukraine aid in supplemental spending is not “going anywhere” in the House. McCarthy signaled to Punchbowl News that any additional aid for Ukraine’s protracted conflict with Russia would have to come from the annual appropriations process as part of the Pentagon’s $866 billion in discretionary spending, which was agreed to in the debt ceiling deal, otherwise known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden promised voters in 2020 that he knew how to get things done in Washington and could bring stability to the capital. It seemed like a message out of step with the more combative era brought on by Donald Trump. But Biden prevailed, and as he seeks a second term, he’s again trying to frame the race as a referendum on competence and governance, pointing to the bipartisan debt limit and budget legislation he signed on Saturday as another exemplar of the success of his approach. His approach, favoring pragmatism over Trumpian pugilism, will be...

In all the sturm und drang about the debt ceiling deal, how this passed under the outrageous outrage radar, I have no idea, but it tickles me to death. Now, I had only heard the bloviating about how the agreement did nothing to truncate Biden’s student loan give-away and snarl snarl snarl. But, in and of itself, that would seem like a waste of negotiating ground to me as there’s a fair chance SCOTUS will deep-six it in any event. What I think is really nifty is what McCarthy and his fellows got in this package as far as the...

BREAKING: House overwhelmingly passes Biden-McCarthy debt limit deal 314-117 On to the Senate

Earlier today, MTG told Real America’s Voice that it is too dangerous to release the footage because it could compromise Capitol security. This echoes the earlier protests from the deep state, their media, and the Biden regime. Greene also said that releasing the footage to the public could also “endanger many Americans that were simply standing on the Capitol ground, maybe never even walked through the Capitol or committed any crimes, but they could have just walked further than where the barrier was simply because the barrier was torn down by the time they got there.” She added, “There’s a...

The deal to raise the debt ceiling for two years to the tune of $4 trillion while minimally cutting spending passed the House, thanks to the Democratic Party support. More Democrats voted for the compromise than Republicans did, which we all saw coming, given the vocal opposition from the party's conservative wing. Even more damning were the allegations that the $4 trillion increase wasn’t a Democratic Party pitch but Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) proposal. Yet, even on the Republican side of the aisle, you had staunch conservatives disagreeing. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), one of the most prominent spending hawks, voiced...

🇺🇸Travis🇺🇸 @Travis_in_Flint 🚨 BREAKING🚨 Speaker McCarthy has given the J6 tapes to @jsolomonReports and they will begin reporting on what they find. According to Congresswoman MTG Solomon along with others have been given unfettered access to the tapes and will report what they find

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, a key member the House Freedom Caucus (HFC), indicated Tuesday that if Republicans do not stop the debt deal in committee he would consider ousting Kevin McCarthy from leadership as House speaker. In an interview with Glenn Beck on "BlazeTV" Tuesday morning, Roy called the debt limit deal that McCarthy, R-Calif., struck over the weekend with the White House a "betrayal of the power-sharing arrangement that we put in place" – that is to say, the promises McCarthy made to the HFC to give him the votes needed to secure him the speakership after a 15-voting-round...

As we reported earlier, a lot of Congressional Republicans are mad about the debt ceiling deal that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has struck with President Biden.It’s not clear if McCarthy has the votes for the deal based upon the people sounding off and it also puts his speakership in question, potentially, if he doesn’t have support from people like the House Freedom Caucus. He also went a little too far in what he was trying to sell, claiming there wasn’t anything for Democrats in the bill.When reporters queried members of the Freedom Caucus about whether they would make a “motion...

It appears righteous conservative fury over McCarthy caving to Joe Biden over the debt ceiling has reached a new boil. Earlier today, Cristina Laila reported that the House Freedom Caucus left open the possibility of filing a motion to vacate and get rid of McCarthy if the Speaker pushes through the garbage debt deal. Following the press conference, Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.), a member of the Freedom Caucus, became the first House Republican to explicitly signal support for ousting McCarthy according to Politico. Politico asked Bishop in an interview whether he would support a motion to vacate the chair. He...
