I swear after a decade of this doofus I never wanted to write the name John Boehner again.  Alas, the the cocktail party republican poster child resurfaces in support of House republican Anthony Gonzalez who voted to impeach President Trump.

Meanwhile President Trump is supporting Gonzalez’ primary challenger, Max Miller.  It doesn’t take a political deep thinker to know who is going to win this battle in the Buckeye state.

(Via Politico) […]  “Former House Speaker JOHN BOEHNER is slated to be the special guest at a Monday afternoon Zoom fundraiser for Rep. ANTHONY GONZALEZ (R-Ohio), according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO. Gonzalez was one of 10 House Republicans to vote for former President DONALD TRUMP’S impeachment, and he’s now facing the repercussions: a primary challenge from the right by MAX MILLER, a former Trump White House side. Trump hosted a fundraiser for Miller at Mar-a-Lago this week.”

July 27th, 2011 Senator John McCain on the Senate floor.

The last federal budget was signed into law September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008.

Almost a decade has passed without a federal budget. The 2009 ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act), otherwise known as “The $1,000,000,000,000 ’09 Stimulus Bill”, has been spent every year for the past 7 fiscal years.

That’s correct. Due to no budget, and base-line budgeting continuous resolutions, aka “omnibus bills”, we’ve spent the 2009 “Stimulus Bill” seven more times. Each year, for seven consecutive years.

Ask yourself: Where did it go?

Somewhat quietly, though not without some water-cooler discussion, the Republican Party Leadership is warning membership to stay away from the upcoming Cleveland Ohio convention.
The media is describing the issue as centering around those elected politicians who may want to avoid the potential for divisive controversy.  However, if you look at the actual landscape, and then look at the political ideology of those who are openly saying they are staying away, what you’ll notice is the RINO caucus, the ‘Decepticons’, are the most cautious.

If you spend some time digging through the professional GOPe messaging, what you’ll note is the party leadership seems fully aware something very dangerous might just come to fruition.  Not dangerous in a violent way per se’, but rather dangerous in a very political and contentious way; there’s very good reason for this.

Almost everyone is familiar with the most devastating loss for the Professional Political Establishment in the 2014 election cycle, the primary defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by insurgent patriot Dave Brat.

Fewer people recognize how devastating the loss was for the globalist DC elites who were less than two days away from approving the Gang-of-Eight Amnesty Bill known as “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”.

With the vote count “whipped”, and with enough House votes to pass identified, Speaker John Boehner was set to hold the vote on Thursday June 12th 2014.  Cantor was defeated (primaried) Tuesday June 10th, and the “whip count” disappeared almost immediately.

The GOPe vowed to retaliate against Brat.  Last week they began to make their moves:

The he-said, he-said, between presidential candidates Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz provides an opportunity to highlight just how close passage of Amnesty law was in 2014.

The senate “Gang of Eight” comprehensive immigration reform bill, which included amnesty legislation  was not blocked by Ted Cruz nor Marco Rubio – it specifically passed the senate because of them, not despite them.

A very insightful PBS documentary “The Immigration Battle” lays out exactly what took place during the 2013/2014 legislative time frame.  If you have not watched the documentary I would strongly recommend you do so, it is profoundly enlightening.  (more…)

{Insert Winnie The Pooh voice}:

“Oh bother“…

Here we go again.  Prepare for yet another round of “sky falling”, “end of the world”, “doomsday scenarios” etc.   Yes Alice, if the GOPe can’t raise the debt ceiling, again, it could mean, *gasp*, another federal shutdown.   OMG !!  Quick run !!

Here we go again.  Federal park closings, barriers on the mall stopping travelers from looking at things, road blocks to stop you from looking at Mount Rushmore; yes these were the previous maneuvers by President Stompy Feet to insure that Americans knew the government was “shut down”. 

Because, in actuality, without the government actually spending money to force people to see it, no-one would actually notice.  Yes, Pooh Bear, here we go again:

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans say they are short of the votes for raising the debt limit and avoiding a first-ever government default. With barely a week before deadline, there’s no plan on what to do.

It’s a huge problem for House Speaker John Boehner and a potential nightmare for his successor-in-waiting, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. (more…)

Paul Ryan gave a brief presser outlining his demands:

Prior to the presser Ryan met with various caucuses and gave them these conditions:

• 1. Every faction of the Republicans in the House must support him, or he doesn’t run.
• 2. A return to “regular order” where all proposed bills must come through committees first. Only Ryan will decide which bills will make it to the floor for a vote.
• 3. He will not be responsible for campaigning or raising money. Give that job to someone else, he doesn’t have the time for it.
• 4. Elimination of the “Jefferson rule”, or possible use of motions to “vacate the speaker”. This grants him unlimited power and no-one can challenge his speakership. He rules as dictator for the House and no-one allowed to challenge his authoritarian decisions.

Take it or leave it, he doesn’t care. (more…)

The House of Representatives has almost solidified the Democrat support they need to nominate Paul Ryan as the next Speaker of The House.

Current Speaker John Boehner supports Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi and now Harry Reid also support Ryan; Pelosi saying the Democrats would vote affirmatively to support Ryan, and numerous Republican media pundits also supporting Paul Ryan.

With solidly predictable support, the decision now rests with Paul Ryan.

WASHINGTON DC – Harry Reid just gave Paul Ryan an unwelcome endorsement for speaker.  The Democratic leader offered his surprise backing for Ryan (R-Wis.) to assume the House speakership, saying he hopes Ryan runs and wins the job because he’s a “Paul Ryan fan.” (more…)
