Republicans have an opportunity. With a seriousness of purpose, they can demonstrate to a skeptical electorate something that has long been missing at the federal level: a basic ability to govern. Voters are deeply dissatisfied with the direction of the country. The RealClearPolitics polling average shows 65% believe the United States is on the wrong track, but individual surveys show that number reaching as high as 72% in mid-November.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy , the man most likely to become the next speaker, said after a meeting at the White House that he had a three-pronged message for Biden: Secure the border, end COVID-19 vaccine mandates for military personnel, and curb reckless federal spending. At least some of that is what people thought they were voting for when they gave Republicans the House.
McCarthy began during a trip to the beleaguered southern border with an ironclad pledge to investigate, and possibly try to remove, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his role in the long-simmering immigration crisis."We never do impeachment for political purposes. We're having an investigation. We know exactly what Mayorkas has done," McCarthy said."If the investigation leads to an impeachment inquiry, we will follow through.
To make continuing the television drama, albeit with a different cast of heroes and villains at the center, central to the purpose of a new House Republican majority would therefore miss the point.While this should not deter proper congressional investigations or overdetermine the Republican agenda or message, we know what the White House’s response will be to this approach.
Not only will party-line legislation come to an end — so will the slew of trillion-dollar spending plans, enacted under radically different circumstances than prevailed during the low point of the pandemic and its associated economic disruption, which are the most inflationary things Biden has done since taking office.
“They’re so determined to cut Social Security and Medicare, they're willing to take down the American economy over it because that'd be the one thing to put us in a deep recession,” he continued.

Analysis | Trump dares Republicans (again) to repudiate himAnalysis: Donald Trump won’t promote his campaign by selling an insipid book about the modest glory of public service, or anything bordering the traditional. But hosting antisemites and calling for the Constitution’s “termination” is a lot, even for him. The Washington Post continues to dig itself deeper and deeper into fake-news territory and this is a prime example: Where is the presidential library again with stolen rubles? This is an odd way to describe an open call for the overthrow of the government from an ongoing insurrectionist, also an open confession to ongoing crimes, maybe you could do your job and frame it like that

Biden's assault weapons ban push is a gift to RepublicansNoah Rothman: It would be political malpractice to hand the GOP an issue on which the party is wholly united.

Republicans disavow Trump's call to terminate the Constitution but stop short of saying it disqualifies him for 2024Reactions to fmr. Pres. Trump's post on Capitol Hill were reminiscent of his four years in office, when GOP lawmakers often walked a fine line by trying to distance themselves from his remarks without becoming a target of Trump and his base of supporters. Republicans did not do jack squat. They are complicit. How is this news but no real coverage of the government, the DNC and the Biden team colluding with social media platforms to affect the election. They’d still vote for him.

McCarthy warns key GOP agenda could be stalled if leadership vote doesn't move forwardHouse Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said GOP agenda issues such as immigration could be held up if fellow Republicans don't vote for him as speaker of the House next month. “I’m the only one who can fix this.” I’ve heard this somewhere before. In light of the Musk Twitter/Hunter laptop revelations, Republicans need a majority leader who is not in the pocket of big tech. McCarthy has received more campaign donations from big tech than any other Republican. No more RINO'S!
