Boebert Says She Won’t Support McCarthy Speaker Bid Without This

Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is on the fence about supporting Kevin McCarthy but one condition could push her over the edge.

Boebert, who recently won a razor-thin re-election bid, says that she will only support the California Republican if there is a mechanism to easily remove him from the top post.

According to The Hill, while at a Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix, Boebert said, “We have to have an accountability mechanism on the Speaker of the House.”

“This is third in command for the presidency of the United States of American,” she said in an interview with “Real America’s Voice,” a conservative channel. “And we are going to strip away the one check-and-balance that members of Congress have?”

Some House Republicans have expressed the desire for any lawmaker to call a motion to vacate the Speaker chair to make it easier to remove someone from the leadership post.

Earlier this month, House Freedom Caucus member Rep. Scott Perry along with six other Republicans released a list of conditions for the next Speaker.

The requests in the letter include:

  • Restore any member’s ability to make a “Motion to Vacate the Chair” and force a vote on removing the Speaker. Former Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a founding Freedom Caucus member, helped propel former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) toward retirement by making a motion to vacate the chair in 2015.
  • Require at least 72 hours from release of final bill text before it gets a vote on the House floor.
  • Bar House GOP leadership and leadership-affiliated PACs from getting involved in primaries. The McCarthy-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund was active in many House primaries boosting McCarthy-friendly candidates in the 2022 cycle.
  • Increase the number of Freedom Caucus members in committee chairmanships and on the House Rules Committee.
  • Decline to raise debt ceiling without a plan to cap spending and balance the federal budget in 10 years.
  • Do not “return to the blind embrace of earmarks.” The practice of directing federal spending to a specific recipient or project was brought back in this Congress as “community project funding” after a decadelong ban. The House Republican Conference last month overwhelmingly voted against an internal proposal to ban the practice.
  • Use “must-pass” bills like the annual defense authorization bill and the farm bill as leverage to secure conservative priorities and “check the Biden administration.”
  • Create a “Church Committee”-style panel to target “weaponized government.” While McCarthy and House Republicans have promised extensive investigations into the Biden administration and alleged politicization of federal agencies, some, like Roy, think the plans do not go far enough.

“Negotiations after that are just a wish list,” she said. “There’s no accountability attached to the promises.”

[Watch] Trump’s Niece Compares Him Unfavorably To Jeffrey Dahmer On MSNBC

    Mary Trump‘s aversion to her famous uncle is well-known, but it’s not every day she compares him to one of America’s most infamous serial killers.

    On national television.

    Reflecting on the Stormy Daniels hush money case, Trump’s niece joined MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell to mock the lack of Trump supporters demonstrating outside the courthouse and the absence of the former president’s family inside the courtroom.

    Several reporters also noticed their lack of attendance in the courtroom, asking the presumptive Republican nominee where Melania is.

    Appearing on Monday’s edition of “The Last Word,” Mary and Larry mocked the presidential front-runner, saying that even Jeffrey Dahmer‘s parents attended his trial. 

    “This is something that I’ve never seen,” O’Donnell claimed. “Not actually made manifest in the courtroom, before Donald Trump‘s in that courtroom alone. Jeffrey Dahmer’s parents were there every single day. It is. It is very hard, to, to find a courtroom where the criminal defendant doesn’t have a relative sitting there in the front row.”

    The younger Trump replied: “Yeah, well, I got a couple of things about that. First of all, it’s another example of how, he, he perverts systems or expectations. For anybody else, that would just be damning. Right. Just the way he talks about dogs would be damning.”

    “How many times have we heard that his bizarre behavior, that, that he engages in bizarre behaviors or just doesn’t conform in a way that, that a, a reasonably well-adjusted human being would?”

    “But like everything else about him, it just kind of gets baked in,” she continued. “Right.”

    “But it is. Let’s, it’s worth, pausing, about how under. Unfair on. Unreal. Bizarre. Strange. Unacceptable. Weird. Whatever adjective you want to use, it is that he is there alone in terms of friends and family,” her assessment continued.

    “I think it is worth pointing out… One. I don’t think he cares. I don’t think it matters to him. That is not where he gets his energy. That is not what gives him solace to the extent that anything does,” Trump opined. “He’s more upset about the fact that there aren’t more people outside protesting on his behalf. Right.”

    “But it also points to, the bizarre thing about my family that every transaction in this family is a transactional one,” the estranged niece continued. “I’m sorry. Every relationship, I should say, is a transactional one. His kids have decided, for whatever reason, that it’s not worth their time for them to be in that courtroom because they’re not going to get anything out of it. That’s, that’s the way this family rolls.”

    DeSantis Super PAC Knocks Nikki Haley Over Thinly-Veiled Disney Jab

      A political action committee supporting a potential White House bid by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis targeted presidential candidate Nikki Haley following what appeared to be a veiled jab over his aggressive approach to Disney’s increasingly woke antics in the state.

      In a video posted on social media, Never Back Down responded to Haley’s appearance on Fox News in which she invited Disney to move its operations to South Carolina, the state where she was once governor, from Florida. 

      The video included what it said were clips of Disney “officials” touting the company’s use of “LGBTQIA characters,” a “not at all secret gay agenda” and attempted to tie Haley to that highly scrutinized side of the company with a new nickname, “Mickey Haley.”

      “I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness,” one individual in the video said, while another appeared to tout giving”information about gender affirmation procedures.”

      Some of the individuals in the video said they were trying to put things they believe into Disney’s shows, as well as target Gen Z and Millennials. It also included a clip of a drag queen discussing Disney-inspired books.

      The video then ended with a clip from Haley’s Fox interview saying she would “welcome” Disney to South Carolina.

      Haley’s comments came on the heel of a lawsuit filed by Disney against DeSantis on Wednesday, claiming “government retaliation.” (RELATED: Disney Sues Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis)

      The lawsuit came about a week after DeSantis said Florida’s Republican legislature would act to stop Disney’s current apparent effort to work around the oversight of its Florida property.

        Inflation has slowly but surely crept into nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives- especially the holidays. While Americans have likely already begun to shudder at the thought of heightened costs for major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas now even Halloween is being spoiled by the Biden administration. Candy prices for tick-or-treaters have jumped thanks to Biden and some kids could be left feeling the sting tonight.

        Steve Bannon Predicts Trump Will Win Third Term

          1

          The next presidential election could feature a familiar name according to former White House adviser Steve Bannon.

          Bannon leaned into President Trump’s aspirations for a third term, suggesting Trump will run and win in 2028 while denying his own presidential ambitions.

          “I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028, so I’ve already endorsed President Trump,” Bannon told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo. “A man like this comes along once every century, if we’re lucky. We’ve got him now.”

          Trump has floated the idea of running for a third presidential term a number of times despite it being unconstitutional with the 22nd Amendment, which limits politicians to two presidential terms. 

          Asked about his own presidential ambitions, Bannon replied, “No, and I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028, so I’ve already endorsed President Trump. A man like this comes along once every century if we’re a little lucky. We’ve got him now, he’s on fire, and I’m a huge supporter. I wanna see him again in 2028.”

          “You’re a smart guy. You know he’s term-limited,” replied Cuomo. “How do you think he gets another term?”

          Bannon answered, “We’re working on it. I think we’ll have a couple of alternatives, let’s say that. We’ll see what the definition of term limit is.”

          “So you’re talking about litigating this issue, because I don’t want people to listen to our interview and say, ‘Bannon’s cooking up an insurrection.’ You know what I mean?” asked Cuomo. “I want people to get a straight take on where your head is.”

          “Chris, as you know, I’ve had greater long shots than this,” declared Bannon, who previously floated the possibility of a third Trump term in December. “We’ve had greater long shots than Trump 2028 and we’ve got a lot of stuff we’re working on there. We’re not prepared to talk about it publicly, but in a couple months I think we will be.”

          Cuomo questioned, “But you are not suggesting revolution or overthrow or anything that people would condemn?”

          After Bannon dodged the question, Cuomo once again pressed, “I just want to make it clear for people so that they can’t paint you as, you know, suggesting revolution. Your analogy is to ’32 and how FDR extended it?”

          “We are, but I firmly believe in the revolution you’re seeing going on now, the revolution of common sense to deconstruct the administrative state,” concluded Bannon.

            English Residents Protest JD Vance’s Vacation

              3

              Vice President JD Vance’s vacation in the English Cotswolds was protested by residents on Tuesday, who carried altered images of the vice president’s face and signs that read, “GO AWAY.”

              At a demonstration organized by the “Stop Trump Coalition,” protesters could be seen carrying signs that read, “GO AWAY,” “SOD OFF!” “WAR CRIMINAL,” “JD Vance Claps When the Plane Lands,” and “Cotswold Childless Cat Ladies Say Go Home.”

              Protesters also carried edited images of Vance’s face and Palestinian flags, with one man wearing a t-shirt which read, “Tiny Dick Tator.”

              “JD Vance, shame on you!” the protesters could be heard chanting.

              A political campaign group called “Everyone Hates Elon” also drove a van around the area of the vice president’s vacation, displaying the same edited image of Vance’s face on a screen.

              “He’s on his holiday. I normally wouldn’t protest against people on their holiday, but there’s clearly a political angle to this,” one protester told The Guardian. “You know, he spent the weekend with our foreign secretary and so I think that means, you know, anything goes, really. I think, you know, you have to be respectful of people, but at the same time, he’s here, he’s carrying out political business, and it’s appropriate to carry out a po

                On Memorial Day, former President Donald Trump announced the  “Veterans and Military Families for Trump”, a Coalition with over 175 endorsements from decorated Veterans, Gold Star families, and heroes who love our country. 

                Read Trump’s statement below:

                “Veterans and Military Families for Trump” are unified around their support for President Trump as a leader fighting to ensure that the sacrifices of our Veterans and their families are honored, not forgotten. Unlike the weak Joe Biden, President Trump has consistently proven he cares deeply about the unbelievable sacrifices made by our nation’s Veterans and their wonderful families. While Joe Biden looks at his watch during the dignified transfer of our fallen heroes, President Trump salutes the ongoing service and ultimate sacrifice this community makes every day to protect our communities.

                This Coalition is an incredible opportunity for our great heroes and their families to help Donald J. Trump finish the job he began during his first term as our nation’s Commander-in-Chief, securing the blessings of freedom for those who selflessly risked their lives to defend it.

                To every Veteran, “you are America’s greatest living heroes, and we will cherish you now, always, and forever.”

                –President Donald J. Trump

                Missouri Senate Passes Trump-Backed Plan That Could Help Republicans Win an Additional US House Seat

                1

                A big win for GOP…

                Missouri Republicans handed President Donald Trump a political victory Friday, giving final legislative approval to a redistricting plan that could help Republicans win an additional U.S. House seat in next year’s elections.

                The Senate vote sends the redistricting plan to Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe for his expected signature to make it law. But opponents immediately announced a referendum petition that, if successful, could force a statewide vote on the new map.

                Missouri is the third state to take up mid-decade redistricting this year.

                Each seat could be critical, because Democrats need to gain just three seats to win control of the House, which would allow them to obstruct Trump’s agenda and launch investigations into him.

                Republicans currently hold six of Missouri’s eight U.S. House seats. The revised map passed the state House earlier this week as the focal point of a special session called by Gov. Kehoe.

                Missouri’s revised map targets a seat held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.

                Trump Mulls Tax Plan For Law Enforcement, Military

The demonstration was part of President Trump's visit to the 10th Mountain Division (LI) to sign the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019, which increases the Army's authorized active-duty end strength by 4,000 enabling us to field critical capabilities in support of the National Defense Strategy.

                  This tax plan could shake up everything…

                  Donald Trump said he’d consider exempting police officers, firefighters, active duty military and veterans from paying taxes, the Republican nominee’s latest campaign trail idea to deliver tax breaks to key groups of supporters.

                  “It’s something I would think about,” Trump said in response to a question about excluding first responders and military members from tax bills on an online show Maintaining with Tyrus that aired Friday.

                  Read more from Zero Hedge:

                  “You’re like my tax person there, but yeah. I mean something has to be done,” he said. “It’s almost an incentive to where you can get people interested.”

                  The idea to exempt members of the military and first responders from taxation is the latest in a long list of tax proposals Trump has talked about while campaigning against Kamala Harris. He’s pledged to i) eliminate taxes on tipped wages, ii) taxes on overtime pay and iii) taxes on Social Security benefits.

                  The no-taxes-on-military-and-first-responders idea could be among the largest new tax cuts he’s discussed to date, exempting more than 20 million people from federal tax payments. According to Bloomberg, there are about 18 million living veterans in the US, roughly 1.3 million active duty troops, approximately 1 million police offers in the US and more than 300,000 professional firefighters, according to several estimates. The US does offer some broad tax exemption to military members, but that is largely limited to people who are serving in active combat zones.

                  In the Friday interview, Trump also suggested military members should become teachers when asked about measures to secure schools.

                  “So what about teachers that are in the military and they’re teachers, they leave the military, they become history teachers,” Trump said. “They’re in the room and they get to know the students and they know how to use a gun. You can’t have people that don’t have any idea about what to do with guns.”

                  Other states including Iowa and Tennessee, have passed laws allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons on school campuses.
