.@Jim_Jordan was voted the Speaker-designee last Friday.
It’s time for a floor vote!
Republicans should come back to DC to elect Jim Jordan the Speaker of the House. What are we waiting for?
The American people want Jim to be the next Speaker.
9:02 AM · Oct 15, 2023
Jordan has been a key player in advocating for conservative legislation. He is also well known for his articulate, feisty arguments, as well as his capacity to be a strong fundraiser – an important skill set for a party leader. Hopefully he will be able to pull it off.
Not really. There are 3.85 million people in Los Angeles. Thousands of Jews protesting the murder of Israelis is not shocking. My wife has very liberal Jewish friends who are very supportive of destroying Hamas.
DESANTIS reacts to Trump’s latest attack on Kim Reynolds:
“Republican voters don’t want to see attacks against strong governors like Kim Reynolds…There’s no reason to be taking potshots, but it’s another indication that Trump views everything through the lens of him. That if you’re kissing his rump, everything is good. If you’re not, he’ll attack. That’s not leadership. Leadership is about what you can do for the people you represent.”
Ex-Iran envoy Robert Malley was critical of Israel, has family ties to PLO
Excerpt:
Robert Malley — the State Department bureaucrat and former Iran special envoy who is mysteriously on leave for allegedly mishandling classified information — grew up with Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat as his unofficial “godfather” and once wrote that the Israeli treatment of Arabs was “shameful.”
Malley is under probe, along with members of his Iran negotiating team, by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability for allegedly “compromising ties to the Iranian regime.”
However, despite conventional wisdom that Mr Kennedy’s campaign will be more damaging for Mr Trump, The Telegraph’s poll suggests that it is Mr Biden that would suffer more in a three-way race.
When Mr Kennedy’s name is included on a hypothetical ballot paper, Mr Trump polls ahead of Mr Biden in five of the six swing states polled, and is tied with Mr Biden in Pennsylvania, the sixth.
Wow. President Biden’s interview on 60 Minutes just now is another reminder of why there’s no one better for the job than Joe Biden. His empathy, compassion, & deep grasp of complex foreign policy issues is incredible & only come with age & experience. We need Joe Biden.
War in the middle east, no Speaker of House, southern border debacle continues, inflatiojs and high gasoline and energy prices, transgenderism-isis issues, racial divides, election looming in 2024…
NONE OF THAT ISS IMPORTANT.
What IS important is that I am only going to get a $60 bump in socil serurity benefits in 2024.
I know you Trump supporters might not realize this. But DeSantis is removing the emperors new clothes on a daily basis on the campaign trail. “The Emperor’s New Clothes” is a literary folktale written by author Hans Christian Andersen, about a vain emperor who gets exposed before his subjects. Not saying RDS will win but he is very effective in exposing how bad a leader Trump is.
I was not impressed by Trump chipping away at RDS’s reputation, Gov. Kim Reynolds etc. and, I feel the same about RDS’s latest campaign to smear DJT. Having said that, my compliments to DeSantis for getting involved in the evacuations of Americans from Israel, leaving a stark contrast to what Biden is doing ——> nothing!
He is very effective at giving him credit for the good and at the same time exposing the reality of his failures. Trump desperately wants him to drop out.
As a true conservative Trumps “chipping away” has been the most toxic and divisive thing I have ever witnessed in the GOP heading into an election. It just shows how it’s all about him.
I would be more worried about the segments of MAGA influencers that are antisemitic and that has become obvious over the last week then RDS “smears”. It’s all over X the last few days.
Good for deep state Rogers for folding apparently.
I would not have ousted McCarthy to begin with, but his support was soft. Did any presidential candidate even support him? . However we do need a replacement at some point.
However, the senate is only working 10 days until the rest of the year.
To be clear, JeffP, I think DeSantis should have fulfilled his 2nd term as FL governor. By running immediately for POTUS, after winning the governorship in 2022, he has undermined his own reputation as a stalwart person finishing a job he only recently signed up for. Consequently I believe this premature move has diminished the level of trust people used to have in him, as well as his ability to keep commitments he made with the people. I also think this is one glaring reason why RDS has had so much trouble jumpstarting his campaign and connecting with voters, despite his solid analysis and policies relating to domestic events.
He is the only true conservative that has any chance. There was no reason to wait until 2028. You were hoping for and think Trump deserved a coronation. Just like all the other MAGA folks.
BREAKING: Judge Chutkan Will Not Move Trump’s D.C. Trial Date
During a hearing this morning that could decide whether or not Trump receives a gag order in the Special Counsel’s January 6th prosecution, Judge Tanya Chutkan announced that she will not move the current March 4, 2024 trial date.
She is also considering a significant Gag order today because of Trumps public attacks of potential witnesses.
Judge Chutkan appears very close to dropping a gag order as she just said, “We’re in here because [Trump] keeps calling the prosecutors thugs…I’m not sure without some type of restriction, we won’t be in here all the time.”
I know it’s all a political hit job…but again Trumps recklessness will bite him in the a$$.
Like you often do, JeffP, words and sentiments are added to my posts. The last post entirely focused on RDS and his FL commitment by running for a 2nd term as governor. It had nothing to do with a Trump coronation. I would be saying the same thing even if Trump had sat out the election.
Yeah, no matter how egregious or one-sided the courts are you find reasons to blame Trump. However, one of Trump’s advantages, over other politicians, is that he speaks his mind without being intimidated by those who want him to shut up and comply with the dictates of our dem-run government and judiciary system.
Federal judge Tanya Chutkan has imposed a limited gag order against Donald Trump in the 2020 election subversion case.
Chutkan’s order prevents posting or reposting attacks against the special counsel, his staff, court staff or personnel, and statements against potential witnesses or expert testimony. The judge declined to impose restrictions on criticizing the government general, including the justice department and Biden administration. She also will allow statements alleging the case is politically motivated.
I personally think a winning R presidential candidate is next to impossible if someone from the conventional R group happens to win the nomination. No matter what one’s crystal ball says about DJT, he’s the one more front and center in the current polling, has the greatest name recognition (both positive and negative), and has the most loyal base who views him with affection.
Zelensky made an unusual request to be granted the ability to visit Israel. Doesn’t he have enough bloodshed in his own country to deal with? Some speculated he wanted to insert himself in the attention the world was giving Israel at the expense of Ukraine. Nonetheless, Israel rejected his request.
I think independents want a normal and competent leader. The Geezer Bowl is what people don’t want. They are tired of Trump drama and Bidens ineptitude. I have no idea what polls you are so confident. Using only top line numbers are fools gold.
However, tell me this. With the timeline of trials, lined up one after the other, January, March and early to late summer, how exactly is Trump going to win the independents he needs in a GE to win with two to three felony convictions? The prosecutions are absolute BS….but that won’t matter. The fix is in with venues in DC, Atlanta, and Manhattan. He’s a dead duck in those venues and there will be convictions. Count on it. We would be kidding ourselves if we didn’t think he wasn’t a dead duck with those jury pools. There will be convictions. There has been polling showing 60% of the electorate will not vote for Trump if he is convicted of a felony. Leaves 40%. Do the math. That’s game over. Then there is the matter of $$. He won’t have much at all as most of his campaign funds will be going to legal fees. He was outspent 65-35 in 2016. Now try getting outspent 5 or 6-1 as he can only spend what is not drained by legal fees. That doesn’t leave a lot for the airways.
We can’t afford another four years of leftist rule in the WH, and, sadly, that’s exactly what Republicans are setting themselves up for if they nominate Trump.
Bitter, I know you and others continue to hold Zelenskyy in almost Churchill-like adoration. I don’t have that same image of him. Nor, do I trust our aid and monies are being appropriately spent or distributed for the good of the Ukrainian people, rather than going into the pockets of oligarchs and other non-Ukrainian efforts. Also, asking permission to go to Israel would help who and in what fashion? It’s just more attempts, IMO, by Zelenskyy to maintain his relevance, keeping himself in front of cameras as they attempt to focus on a crisis other than the Russia/ukraine war.
I also am not necessarily disputing you either, Phil. However, what I do have is more confidence in Trump’s strength to capture more diversity voters, along with those under the voting radar than other R contestants have the ability to do.
Israel has verbally supported Ukraine but not offered any aid.
Neither of us know for sure, Bitter, how honestly the disbursement of aid has been. Real audits, that jive with figures and make sense, would be helpful in providing clarity and assurance that our aid is being properly handled.
He will indeed capture more of the demographic that are under the radar. That is why he won Wisconsin, Michigan, Pa in 2016. Those are a lot blue collar voters a conventional Republican candidate would never have gotten. I just don’t think it will be enough to offset the independent voters he will lose due to the legal troubles. It’s unfortunate that the banana republic weaponizing the legal system tactics have the effect that they do….but it’s where we are.
These Q3 FEC reports of Individual donor giving are SHOCKING and do not even come close to represent the polls. This even includes the “Mug Shot” financial push.
Donald Trump campaign $198,506.73
DeSantis campaign $8,903,307.58
The Trump campaign and MSM have totally misled people with campaign fundraising. Trumps had to have a huge PAC transfer of 24 million to show a large cash on hand balance. RDS only received 2 million from his PAC and PAC Never Back Down is cash rich and dwarfs ever other candidate.
I don’t have access to a first hand accurate death count for either Ukrainian or Russian deaths. I also don’t know how much of that aid is going directly to the Ukrainian military, no matter what the “more or less” death count is. It’s one of those “absolute” questions meaning little, as to the degree of veracity or corruption involved in the massive amount of aid already given to Ukraine.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed off on the $75 million payment to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) on Oct. 3, despite concerns from Republican officials that Hamas co-opts UNRWA to facilitate terrorism and radicalism, according to an Oct. 4 report by Haaretz. On Sept. 28, the U.S. intelligence community circulated an update sourced by multiple intelligence streams that indicated Hamas was preparing to ramp up missile attacks targeting Israelis.

🚨Report: Tim Scott Super PAC is canceling all of its TV ads for this fall. His co-chair wrote to donors, “We aren’t going to waste our money when the electorate isn’t focused or ready for a Trump alternative.”
Jan take a little time to dig a little deeper before you post a MSM talking point article. You’re being lied too. That article doesn’t even mention Never Back Down that has 90 million!!! The point anyway was INDIVIDUAL DONORS…the numbers do not lie. You either have zero objectivity or you’re a cult member. Trumps crowd today was paltry in Iowa. Trump took 24 million from his PAC just to keep up and make it sound better than reality. RDS took 2 million. Big difference. 😂😂😂 Trumps support is soft the individual numbers prove it. Trump in his dreams is begging for DeSantis to drop out. The tide is turning !!!
Jordan has agreed to allow votes for Ukraine and Israel aid in exchange for Speaker votes. The fun part is if Jordan doesn’t keep his word, then Democrats and a few Republicans can kick Jordan out of the Speakership.
JeffP, I posted a Politico link, with graphs, numbers etc., contrasting what you posted with no link.
As for Trump’s two stops today in Iowa, they were smaller venues 15 minutes apart from each other, specifically to gin up interest in caucusing for him. I briefly listened to his streamed speeches, and the crowd seemed enthusiastic and not especially “small” in the sounds they generated. I kind of depend on my own eyes and ears which is not a cultish attribute – more like depending on one’s own critical thinking to decipher what’s happening in this pre election cycle.
Totally decimated the MSM and Nikki Haley at the same time. I have never seen a candidate this effective….damn. This Israel and Palestinian issue is in his wheelhouse. What a freaking leader.
I think why so many people tune into Tucker Carlson is because he succinctly manages to voice what the masses are thinking. In this short video he talks about Trump and why he is so popular….and, I think he’s right.
The young Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis is far and above the most qualified and the best candidate regardless of party to lead this nation and It’s not even close. The question becomes do we as a nation deserve him.
I know you are head over heels for RDS, JeffP. His qualifications, however, reside mostly in the area of domestic stateside policy making. Early on, when DeSantis and wife went abroad to test his foreign policy, diplomatic skill sets he failed to make a good impression. Today, having the right gravitas to meet and make policy proposals with foreign leaders is more important than ever, especially in the wake of Biden’s disastrous presidency, which destroyed so many alliances and relationships. Consequently, while RDS is a bright, ambitious candidate, I don’t see him as the “end all be all” that you do.
My opinion has nothing to do with me being head over heels. It is verifiable fact proven by his continued leadership in every area of his responsibility.
Examples…His independent questioning of the Fauci approach to Covid, his leadership in several major hurricane disasters, his executive actions during the BLM riots to protect his state, his removing corrupt Soros district attorneys, advocating and protecting Parents rights and his response to stranded Floridians in Israel. Not to mention working with the legislature and passing conservative in his term this thus far including the strong pro life heartbeat bill.
His leadership is unmatched in this country. It’s not even a debate.

No matter what one’s crystal ball says about DJT, he’s the one more front and center in the current polling, has the greatest name recognition (both positive and negative), and has the most loyal base who views him with affection.

Zelensky made an unusual request to be granted the ability to visit Israel. Doesn’t he have enough bloodshed in his own country to deal with? Some speculated he wanted to insert himself in the attention the world was giving Israel at the expense of Ukraine. Nonetheless, Israel rejected his request.

Not disputing that, Jan.
However, tell me this. With the timeline of trials, lined up one after the other, January, March and early to late summer, how exactly is Trump going to win the independents he needs in a GE to win with two to three felony convictions? The prosecutions are absolute BS….but that won’t matter. The fix is in with venues in DC, Atlanta, and Manhattan. He’s a dead duck in those venues and there will be convictions. Count on it. We would be kidding ourselves if we didn’t think he wasn’t a dead duck with those jury pools. There will be convictions. There has been polling showing 60% of the electorate will not vote for Trump if he is convicted of a felony. Leaves 40%. Do the math. That’s game over. Then there is the matter of $$. He won’t have much at all as most of his campaign funds will be going to legal fees. He was outspent 65-35 in 2016. Now try getting outspent 5 or 6-1 as he can only spend what is not drained by legal fees. That doesn’t leave a lot for the airways.
We can’t afford another four years of leftist rule in the WH, and, sadly, that’s exactly what Republicans are setting themselves up for if they nominate Trump.

Bitter, I know you and others continue to hold Zelenskyy in almost Churchill-like adoration. I don’t have that same image of him. Nor, do I trust our aid and monies are being appropriately spent or distributed for the good of the Ukrainian people, rather than going into the pockets of oligarchs and other non-Ukrainian efforts. Also, asking permission to go to Israel would help who and in what fashion? It’s just more attempts, IMO, by Zelenskyy to maintain his relevance, keeping himself in front of cameras as they attempt to focus on a crisis other than the Russia/ukraine war.

Neither of us know for sure, Bitter, how honestly the disbursement of aid has been. Real audits, that jive with figures and make sense, would be helpful in providing clarity and assurance that our aid is being properly handled.

He will indeed capture more of the demographic that are under the radar. That is why he won Wisconsin, Michigan, Pa in 2016. Those are a lot blue collar voters a conventional Republican candidate would never have gotten. I just don’t think it will be enough to offset the independent voters he will lose due to the legal troubles. It’s unfortunate that the banana republic weaponizing the legal system tactics have the effect that they do….but it’s where we are.

The Trump campaign and MSM have totally misled people with campaign fundraising. Trumps had to have a huge PAC transfer of 24 million to show a large cash on hand balance. RDS only received 2 million from his PAC and PAC Never Back Down is cash rich and dwarfs ever other candidate.

On Sept. 28, the U.S. intelligence community circulated an update sourced by multiple intelligence streams that indicated Hamas was preparing to ramp up missile attacks targeting Israelis.

Jan take a little time to dig a little deeper before you post a MSM talking point article. You’re being lied too. That article doesn’t even mention Never Back Down that has 90 million!!! The point anyway was INDIVIDUAL DONORS…the numbers do not lie. You either have zero objectivity or you’re a cult member. Trumps crowd today was paltry in Iowa. Trump took 24 million from his PAC just to keep up and make it sound better than reality. RDS took 2 million. Big difference. 😂😂😂 Trumps support is soft the individual numbers prove it. Trump in his dreams is begging for DeSantis to drop out. The tide is turning !!!

JeffP, I posted a Politico link, with graphs, numbers etc., contrasting what you posted with no link.
As for Trump’s two stops today in Iowa, they were smaller venues 15 minutes apart from each other, specifically to gin up interest in caucusing for him. I briefly listened to his streamed speeches, and the crowd seemed enthusiastic and not especially “small” in the sounds they generated. I kind of depend on my own eyes and ears which is not a cultish attribute – more like depending on one’s own critical thinking to decipher what’s happening in this pre election cycle.

I know you are head over heels for RDS, JeffP. His qualifications, however, reside mostly in the area of domestic stateside policy making. Early on, when DeSantis and wife went abroad to test his foreign policy, diplomatic skill sets he failed to make a good impression. Today, having the right gravitas to meet and make policy proposals with foreign leaders is more important than ever, especially in the wake of Biden’s disastrous presidency, which destroyed so many alliances and relationships. Consequently, while RDS is a bright, ambitious candidate, I don’t see him as the “end all be all” that you do.

My opinion has nothing to do with me being head over heels. It is verifiable fact proven by his continued leadership in every area of his responsibility.
Examples…His independent questioning of the Fauci approach to Covid, his leadership in several major hurricane disasters, his executive actions during the BLM riots to protect his state, his removing corrupt Soros district attorneys, advocating and protecting Parents rights and his response to stranded Floridians in Israel. Not to mention working with the legislature and passing conservative in his term this thus far including the strong pro life heartbeat bill.
His leadership is unmatched in this country. It’s not even a debate.
