Miami, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told the conservatives currently withholding support from House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy in McCarthy’s speakership bid to stand down in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News here on Friday. “I like him,” Trump said of McCarthy, before teeing off on those working against him such as Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Bob Good (R-VA), and Ralph Norman (R-SC). While Trump did not name those trying to stop McCarthy from taking the Speaker’s gavel on January 3, he in no uncertain terms said he disagrees with their efforts—

Probably Trump's biggest weak point is trusting people who shouldn't be trusted.

I dunno, Mr. President. I'm ready for some new faces in the House. As House minority leader the past two years, McCarthy was nearly invisible. He avoids cameras the same way Turtle does in the Senate. It's pretty hard to set the narrative on behalf of a full House and KEEP the narrative out there without face time especially with a lefty msm constantly parroting the dim talking points. If he can get out there, right here and now to be seen, and make it abundantly clear today, tomorrow, and all the way to January 3rd that he is to be Speaker of the House and why, then maybe.

No. Trump endorsed McConnell, and now we are getting an omnibus spending bill to neuter the newly elected Republican House. McCarthy expelled and condemned Republicans for something they said, and threw them off committees. McCarthy condemned Trump for J6, but said nothing about Pelosi. No. I am not taking any personnel advice from DJT, who appointed Christopher Wray to the FBI, and Barr to DOJ. No. Andy Biggs will be a great Speaker.

It's Washington. RINOs or Democrats? Pick your poison. Fairly sure Trump realizes this and has no idea how to change it. Doubt there is anyone else either that can fix it either. It's up to the voter which is doubtful especially after watching the midterms. Vote them out. We will either succeed, or the government will drop all semblance of a representative government and become a full-blown dictatorship.

I think for myself, and I hope those told to stand down do as well. Politicians should listen to their voters and supporters. I listen to Rona drop the Trump name to justify all the money she's spent on partying down, and the Trump team co-signed. It's a distraction.

DJT never was a conservative; he was a pragmatist. Now he's confirming that by backing McCarthy against conservatives. This, on top of his "major announcement" that turned out to be a pitch to sell NFT's, indicates it's time for him to get out of politics, retire to Florida, and play pickleball with the other geezers.

Since republicans are split in their choice---the Dems can mess up the choice and vote in a Dem. President Trump makes sense. Stick togather. Vote for McCarthy. No other Republican can win clearly because of the split. Dems will win. So many of you people who do not think things through will harm our goal.

A Republican congresswoman blasted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's threats to boot three outspoken Democrats off committees on Tuesday. Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz dismissed the GOP leader's efforts as 'bread and circuses' and called on him to 'start governing for a change' in the searing statement.  McCarthy has vowed to remove Democrat Reps.

Just from 2020, they're responsible for nearly $2 billion in damage and many people dead, but the war is against the police, and the reason why is because antifa is the ground troops of the Democrat Party." Greene's remarks come days after antifa caused chaos in Atlanta Saturday, smashing windows and lighting a police car on fire.

On Tuesday evening, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy went nuclear on reporters over a question of whether or not Adam Schiff will be allowed to serve on Intel committees in the future. “What did Adam Schiff do as the chairman of the Intel committee? What Adam Schiff did is use his power at the chairman and lied to the American public,” McCarthy began. “When Devon Nunes put out a memo, he [Schiff] said it was false. When we had a laptop, he [Schiff] used it before the election to be politics and say that it was false, he said it was the Russians when he knew different,” he said.

In March 2022, hundreds of students at Yale Law School disrupted a panel with Kristen Waggoner, a conservative lawyer who has argued religious liberty cases before the Supreme Court, arguing that her presence was a "slap in the face" to "queer students." Yale's response to the incident left the school with egg on its face: Though the protest clearly violated Yale's free speech policies, which do not allow protesters to disrupt speakers, not a single student was disciplined. Now Waggoner is returning to Yale Law for another talk.

The Penn Biden Center, a Washington think tank where classified documents were found in November, hosted an event encouraging deeper U.S.-China ties. The event took place as the University of Pennsylvania received tens of millions of dollars from Chinese entities, much of which was donated anonymously. The Penn Biden Center was the repository of a stash of classified U.S. documents until President Joe Biden’s personal attorneys found the papers in the president’s office on November 2. In June, the center hosted a two-day event for Congressional staffers that encouraged closer cooperation with China

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced legislation Monday to ban “205 military-style assault weapons by name” and prohibit transfer of “high capacity” magazines. Feinstein cited the January 21, 2023, Monterey Park shooting as the impetus for the reintroduction of the “assault weapons” ban. She said, “We were tragically reminded this weekend of the deadly nature of assault weapons when a shooter used one to kill 11 people and injure 9 more at a Lunar New Year celebration in California.” However, Feinstein’s proposed ban would not have prevented the suspected gunman from possessing the gun used in the attack.

As interest rates continue to skyrocket, home prices across the country have continued to plummet — and Goldman Sachs says the declines will only worsen and extend through 2023. In a note to clients earlier this month, Goldman Sachs forecasted that four American cities in particular should gear up for a seismic decline compared to that of the 2008 housing crash. San Jose, California; Austin, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and San Diego, California will likely see boom and bust declines of more than 25%. Such declines would rival those seen around 15 years ago during the Great Recession.

Charles McGonigal, a retired counterintelligence investigator from the FBI’s New York Field Office, was just arrested because he allegedly took substantial sums of money from Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, to get the latter off a U.S. sanctions list. Where this goes beyond the ordinary corruption that periodically crops up among people with too much power, too few morals, and too little accountability is that McGonigal was one of the people investigating Trump over the Russia Hoax, while Deripaska employed Christopher Steele, whose false dossier seeded the Russia Hoax. Anyone who paid attention during the “hot” years of the Russia Hoax recognizes Deripaska’s name.

Joe Manchin in its crosshairs before he's even said whether he'll run for reelection.  In a new ad called 'Maserati Manchin,' the Senate GOP's campaign arm highlights Manchin's luxury vehicle, his $700,000 houseboat, and DailyMail.com's reporting that he has blown over $1million in campaign donation on fine dining.  The 75-year-old moderate is likely the only one from his party who can hold on to West Virginia's Senate seat, and the ad looks designed to dissuade him from running.
