The Vote Is Today
The U.S. House of Representatives will today vote to determine who will be the next Speaker of the House. This is far more than a symbolic vote. The Speaker sets the agenda for the entire House. He or she decides committee assignments, committee chairmanships, and determines which bills actually make it to the floor for a vote (among other things). This is tremendous power vested in one individual and is one reason the Speaker is Constitutionally designated as third in line for the Presidency should disaster strike (Succession Protocols).
His or her absolute control over the U.S. House of Representatives is pivotal to our country’s future because The House controls the U.S. government’s spending. The President cannot arbitrarily spend taxpayer’s money. The Senate cannot do it. Spending bills can ONLY originate in the House and this gives tremendous leverage to the House and therefore makes the Speaker a very powerful person. He or she can threaten to fund or withhold funding from projects vital to the President, the Senate Majority Leader, individual politicians, and the department heads of the entire Administrative State. For example, if the FBI truly feared its budget might be cut by 20% you would most assuredly see less arrogance, partisanship, and willful ignoring of the U.S. Constitution.
The Speaker of the House holds more leverage over all areas of government than any other politician…
Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) tenure as Speaker empowered (funded) the destruction of our economy, our military, our educational system, and our culture. Her decisions oversaw and supported the weakening of the Rule of Law and the Constitutional rights of all Americans. The current Democrat Party is a lost cause, so we can expect nothing less when the Democrats have the majority and control the Speakership, but recent history shows the horrific consequences of Republicans appointing the wrong Speaker when they have control.
Three Types of Republican Speakers
In 1994, Newt Gingrich (R-GA) promoted a Contract with America and ushered in the first Republican House majority in decades. He was elected as Speaker of the House and went on to thwart a significant amount of the corruption happening in the White House and Congress. Liberal media try to distort and diminish the revolutionary reforms created, but even the most cynical will admit that the 1994 Congress was a miserable thorn in the side of the Clinton Administration and its liberal agenda. Newt Gingrich was a conservative fighter.
John Boehner (R-OH) was Speaker of the House for five of the eight years of the Obama Presidency. He basically rolled over for anything the Obama Administration wanted. He turned a blind eye to Obama’s radical weaponization of the IRS and other government agencies and was actually forced to resign the Speakership fifteen months before his last term ended. He will forever be remembered as a weak RINO speaker who cared more about himself than he did the conservative cause.
Paul Ryan (R-WI) was elected to finish Boehner’s last term. He was then reelected to hold the Speakership for the first two years of the Trump Administration. While walking and talking like a conservative, and while not openly opposing President Trump, it has now been revealed that he sabotaged the Trump Administration at every turn, supported the false investigations of Russia Russia Russia, and surreptitiously opposed all of the popular Trump agendas of border control, regulation reform, etc. Paul Ryan will be remembered as a Globalist saboteur who now serves on the Board of Directors at FOX News and is believed to be a driving force behind the FOX policy of ignoring and censoring election fraud. It should be noted that he hand-picked Kevin McCarthy to replace him.
There Is a War in the Republican Party and We Need to Decide Which Side the Speaker will Be From
The Globalist Establishment Uniparty (or, as we call them, the anti-America-First Globalists) is on a mission to remove the United States from world dominance. They advocate for a New World Order that holds authority over all governments (including the United States). Whether the politicians they control are true believers or are just greedy politicians; whether they are globalist fanatics, corrupt narcissists, extorted, bribed, and/or simply weak and naïve these people will facilitate the destruction of the United States as a free and democratic country. This faction has politicians on both sides of the aisle, including much of the Republican leadership.
The Trump faction is really not about Trump the man. It is about what he stands for and what he fights for. We call it the America-First faction or Make America Great Again because that is what this faction stands for. Trump is simply the brave hero spearheading the cause.
Kevin McCarthy’s track record as Speaker is terrible and indefensible. The best I can say about him is that he is weak and selfish.
Even his supporters know this… listen to how they advocate for him as Speaker. Except for a few who outright lie, those supporting him do not praise his virtues; they mainly speak about the (very real) dangers of having a contested vote and giving the Democrats leverage to elect a RINO or Democrat Speaker (the entire House votes for a Speaker - not just the majority party). Already, at least one RINO Congressman is threatening to do just that.
I think McCarthy is weak enough to be mostly controlled by Donald Trump (which is why I believe he mildly supports him). But, on the other hand, he will never be the fighter America needs to turn our country around. THIS SHORT INTERVIEW by Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) probably sums it up best…
My personal view is simple… I am tired of running scared. Having a Democrat or a Never-Trumper like Liz Cheney as Speaker would be a disaster, but Republicans in Congress (the good ones) need to figure it out. Find a way to stop compromising and win. Use whatever leverage you have – stop being polite or diplomatic and give us a Speaker who will actually fight for us. And as for the FOX News commentators [X] and politicians that are actively trashing those who want to stand up to McCarthy… STFU and lead, get out of the way, or go home.

Every Tuesday, we will include a review of some of the finest coffees in the world…
Today’s Showcase
PRC Coffee Company’s Sleepy Joe Decaf
(Peruvian Decaf)
I don’t drink a lot of decafs, but I would never know the caffeine has been filtered from this smooth-flavored coffee.
Roast: Medium
Some of us like our coffee feeble. This incredibly flavorful Peruvian bean has been tamed so even the most delicate of personalities can enjoy it. This medium roast has smooth hints of caramel and citrus. The beans are grown in a soil composition of clay and minerals, at 1100 - 1700 meters altitude, and are fully washed and dried in the sun and then decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process. Certified Organic/Swiss. This incredibly flavorful Peruvian bean has been tamed so even the most delicate of personalities can enjoy it. This medium roast has smooth hints of caramel and citrus.
