Florida Rep Matt Gaetz has officially filed a motion to vacate the chair in an attempt to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
This battle has been looming for weeks, but Gaetz was finally tipped over the edge after it was revealed that Speaker McCarthy may have made a side deal with Joe Biden and the democrats to continue funding for the war in Ukraine.
Over the weekend, a Government shutdown was narrowly avoided when Congress was able to pass a Continuing Resolution that funded the government, but left out additional spending for the Ukraine. This was sold as a “win” for Republicans, though every Biden policy priority was rubber stamped except for war funding.
Once again, the GOP had an opportunity to use their power to bring the Deep State to heel, and they chose to give it away and let the moment slip.
A classic GOP establishment move. With “Republicans” like these, who needs democrats?
You may remember several weeks ago I wrote an Open Letter to Kevin McCarthy.
I asked him, humbly, to DO HIS JOB or RESIGN his position as Speaker of the House.
Since then, McCarthy has (finally) launched a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, but is slow to take action on any other key legislative priorities. The threat of a government shutdown was the perfect opportunity to push for border security and a myriad of other concessions from the Biden Regime.
If we are going to be afraid to use our power, we will never put America back on the right track. Democrats are willing to use their power, even power they DON’T HAVE, to advance their radical agenda. We are facing an internal political war, and we are losing ground daily. “Republicans” only seem to care about the war in Ukraine and keeping their donors happy. Several times Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated that America’s #1 priority is the funding of the war in Ukraine.
Is that YOUR #1 priority?
I can almost guarantee it is not.
It is unclear if Matt Gaetz will be successful in his plot to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, but at least he is FIGHTING for us. Too few are willing to stand up and do hard things..to do the RIGHT THINGS. Gaetz is catching hell from all sides, and being labeled as a traitor. In reality, he has been the most consistent America First Voice in the House since Day 1. Removing McCarthy may throw things into chaos, but so far nothing of merit is being accomplished anyway.
It’s hard not to have a “burn it all down” attitude when our leaders aren’t serving our interests and seems to be actively working to hold us back.
So keep an eye on the House today. Voting is scheduling to kick off in the early afternoon. No one knows what’s going to happen. Will the democrats vote to save McCarthy? That would certainly be very telling of the reality of the situation. The reality of the swamp.
What do you think? Should McCarthy go? Should Gaetz back off?
There are no easy answers, and probably no “right” answers. We’re in uncharted territory. But if we want to find new land, we’re going to have to lose sight of the shore.
Let me know what you think!
Note: I apologize for my absence recently! Life is hectic. We have a newborn (#4), and chasing kids and keeping up my job have been taking all of my time. I’m back in the saddle now, and looking forward to bringing you more AMERICA FIRST content on a regular basis.
I am trying to make this a full time gig, but so far I spend way more money promoting this publication than I bring in. It’s a labor of love and a labor of NECESSITY. There simply aren’t many places you can go that are truly in line with our priorities.
By the 2024 election I hope to be able to pursue this full time and bring you more and better content. If you would like to help us grow, consider becoming a paid subscriber. Membership is $5 a month, and if 1/5 people reading this subscribed we could take this thing next level.
I’ve also lowered the cost of an annual subscription to $35.
I know times are tough for everyone, and inflation isn’t going away, but consider giving if you can to someone who is actually going to FIGHT for YOU and for the America First Movement!
Thanks for being here and God Bless!
