Kevin McCarthy Tells Republican Caucus He Will Not Seek Speakership Again
According to multiple DC media sources, a quiet effort is underway by members of the professionally republican mindset to kick Matt Gaetz out of the House Republican caucus. However, the advocates worry they will be primaried by voters in their district, as the population of Republican voters supports Gaetz. It is a duplicitous dynamic.Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy has told his Republican conference that despite prior statements, he will not attempt to become the House Speaker again and will instead retire to his home district in California.
No one is quite sure what comes next; what is clear is that Gaetz has channeled the frustration of the Republican/MAGA base into an actionable result. This should not come as a surprise to the GOPe, although many of the cloistered clan continue pretending not to understand the dynamic at play.
Allow me to provide some simple clarity.

♦ In 2009 72% of the country, and an even larger percentage of the Republican voters, did not want Obamacare. The govt takeover of healthcare was along purely ideological grounds. For the 2010 midterm election, the professional Republican apparatus campaigned on this single issue – repeal Obamacare. The voters destroyed the Democrats and flipped 67 seats to Republican control. The professional Republicans wanted the House, frustrated American voters gave it to them.
The Republicans did nothing.
♦ In 2012, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and asked to begin a process of taking down the Democrat control of the Senate. Remember, it was a 60/40 Senate when the Obamacare boondoggle was begun. Keep the House, help us take Senate seats, and we will repeal Obamacare and balance the budget. That was the call of the 2012 professional Republicans. The voters delivered. The GOPe kept the house, took 6 seats in the Senate and introduced a wave of fresh Republican blood.
The Republicans did nothing.
♦ In the 2014 midterm election, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and now flipping the Senate with more GOP seats. Keep the House, give us the Senate majority, and we will repeal Obamacare and deliver a balanced budget. The voters again delivered. Beginning in January 2015, the Republicans controlled the House and the Senate majorities for Obama’s last two years.
The Republicans did nothing.
Worse still, even with professional Republican control of both chambers of congress, President Obama never had to use his veto pen.
♦ In the 2016 election, after the professional Republicans could no longer stop/block candidate Donald Trump, they said if we get the White House, retain the House and retain the Senate, we will repeal Obamacare, return to regular budgetary order, and balance the budget. Stunningly, against all the odds, the voters yet again delivered. President Trump won the election; Republicans now held the White House, the House and the Senate – as requested.
The Republicans did nothing.
Worse still, the professional Republicans acted as if they were the dog that just caught the car. Now they had no excuses, and as a result there was an exodus of retirements announced from the caucus of the professionally Republican to begin in 2018.
Simultaneously, the professional Republicans passively allowed the targeting of Donald Trump by a fully weaponized intelligence apparatus and justice system to commence. To say the professionally Republican were willfully blind would be polite and generously honest.
In the background the RNC did nothing. The California ballot harvesting operation of 2018 reflected a complete lack of action by the RNC or CA GOP. We all well remember how that operation expanded nationwide in 2020, again with the RNC doing nothing.
This is the reality of what took place between the elections of 2010 and 2020. Every ask of the professionally rRpublican apparatus was delivered by voters. Every ask of the voters in return was ignored. Effective January 2021, Obamacare still exists, no budget was ever produced, the borders were unsecured, the economy tanked due to Biden policy, energy and printing presses. Crises, along with insufferable government mandates, amplified and expanded from coast to coast.
The Green New Deal was passed by Republicans and Democrats, and the collapse of the economy came with it.
Clear enough?
Suddenly, as if there was no background of repeated broken promises and a complete failure to deliver on any key request, Kevin McCarthy and his legion of professionally Republican supporters pretend they cannot fathom why the base voters are more than happy to support Matt Gaetz.https://theconservativetreehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Sad-McCarthy-300x296-1.jpg

And National Reciprocity! Don't forget that National Reciprocity was on the table when the R had a super majority and all we got was........the bump stock ban.
We should have had anything and everything we wanted during the Trump years. But he was undermined at every turn by many within his own party and own administration.
It's becoming a socialist uniparty. They're all on the same team just wearing different color jerseys.
90% of republicans are just democrat-lite all players in the same game. They need each other to play their parts but ultimately they all go along to get along and not stop the gears of the machine.
Maybe 10% of the Republican party are actually putting the country first above their careers and self enrichment. If you go against the system, the machine will crush you.
The system is broken. I think it needs to fail to be fixed.
Oh, and this is definitely a "prepping topic" but totally fits in here. If you're not paying attention you need to be.

"....to oust a sitting Speaker of the House in over a century, Matt Gaetz declared that going after Kevin McCarthy would be his legacy. On the Capitol steps Monday night, surrounded by dozens of reporters and a handful of smirking congressional colleagues, he said, “I feel the judgment of history, I feel the weight of that. I am worried that when the history books are written about this country going down that my name is gonna be on the board of directors here. And if this country is going down, and if we’re losing the dollar, I’m going down fighting.”
“Bring it on,” McCarthy tweeted immediately after, repeating his earlier dare to Gaetz’s threat over the weekend after he turned to Democrats to override right-wing members and avoid a potential government shutdown."
Let that sink in the highest Congress members are now saying out Loud that they are worried their names will be associated with the loss of the global dollar and meaning the collapse of the US economy.

The "moderate" (cough cough) republicans are getting mad at the democrats for cooperating with the 11 rogue republicans to oust McCarthy. To show just how angry they are - they told nancy pelosi and steny hoyer they have to move out of their offices!
That will teach them.

This is what it takes for the republicans to start playing hardball with the democrats?
We are doomed.

I don't know if this is a step forward or a step backwards yet. Time will tell.
But what I do know is that the best wishes and intentions of republicans usually go to shit.
This could be a good thing for the people but at the expense of the party for a change of pace, but don't underestimate the ability of repubs to screw up a a wet dream.
Gaetz may have done the right thing but with a lack of follow through it may become the wrong thing. I don't have a lot of faith in the GOPe to separate itself from the Uniparty enough to take advantage of the opportunity they've been given. They've proven that time and again.

Agreed, it was Paul (Rino) Ryan we have to thank for not getting national reciprocity.
National Reciprocity is a wet dream for all gun owners.
It is something that will NEVER occur in the US, even though the 2A is all we really need.
It will never, ever be passed into a law. Makes no difference who is in charge or who is the President.

We will not likely ever have national reciprocity, but we could get to 40 CC states. And that's pretty close for most people.
