The free-fall that is now the Republican majority in the House of Representatives is a needless self-inflicted political wound that only serves to distract the GOP caucus, and the nation at large, from the very real crises facing America.
Rather than focus on the open borders that are transforming our nation's cities into migrant camps and threats from foreign adversaries such as the Chinese Communist Party, we are engaged in recriminations and intraparty personal feuds. Rather than tackle a crippling debt of nearly $33 trillion, we are witnessing a political drama associated with selecting a new Speaker of the House. Rather than advance American energy independence,

I surely do miss President Reagan. I consider myself blessed to have lived at a time that he was our President.

Sorry, Lawrence, but we've been trying to "focus on the open borders" and "tackle a crippling debt" and "advance American energy independence" and "confront those who would seek to steal the results of the next presidential election" but too many rino's in the House aren't interested. This isn't about "intraparty personal feuds" or "parsing possible votes" or "recriminations and arguments". It's about getting the one governing body we control whipped into shape and united behind what's right for the country.

There was a free fall. That has stopped. Republicans now have someone in charge and it ain’t Mitch McConnell. Finally political action that has achieved results. Cooperate with Biden while you have bargaining power and you’re out. About time. Good work Mr. Gaetz. Nice to see someone in the Republican Party has backbone and knows the meaning of politics.

Get a crip Larry. The Republicans aren't in any position to do much of anything. With such a small majority in Congress and a minority in the Senate, nothing was ever going to get accomplished until they have majorities in the Congress, Senate, and the White House. Even then, the Republicans will have to fight those in the same party over almost everything. So, while media types like yourself wring their hands over the goings on in Congress, your average taxpaying Republican puts his head down and works to make it through another day just waiting to cast their vote in 2024.

Soon enough they will choose another speaker of the House, hopefully Jim Jordan, and things will be better for the GOP. This article sounds more like an establishment gripe at McCarthy's demise than the GOP in crisis.

Kadish has a brain like a Knish - we are focused on open borders that are transforming our nation's cities into migrant camps and threats from foreign adversaries such as the Chinese Communist Party. But we had RINO's that were part of the uniparty and doing nothing.
Getting rid of McCarthy was something that need to be done when the R's got the majority, but he promised he'd have more backbone and he didn't. So shut the heck up.

Freefall? How is voting a freefall? The Speaker seres at the pleasure of the majority of the House. McCarthy didn’t serve the majority’s pleasure.

FTA: " Rather than tackle a crippling debt of nearly $33 trillion, we are witnessing a political drama associated with selecting a new Speaker of the House. Rather than advance American energy independence, "we are parsing possible votes for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's replacement. And instead of confronting those who would seek to steal the results of the next presidential election, we are engaged in recriminations and arguments about who and what sparked the historic firing of the Speaker."
Kadish, You're an imbecile. McCarthy was facilitating all those items you enumerated rather than fight em! Now perhaps, we can accomplish some of those goals, which would NEVER have happened under "Deep State" McCarthy.

I don't like pompous Gaetz but the shakeup is long overdue.The disunity began when cowardly, self righteous RINOs booted effective Newt from the chair over rumor and innuendo. Nothing but ineffective whining, weeping GOP "leadership" since

The absence of a Speaker in the House is insignificant. McCarthy had to go because he was doing more harm than good to the overall performance of the Republican party. The timing turned out to be rather unfortunate but it had to be done.

While this sounds all smart and glib - it misses the root problem.
The problem is RINOs infecting the Party who are more interested in filling their bank accounts than in doing the People's business properly, and have not the slightest compunction about working with the Dems to do it and stymie all Republican effortsto solve real problems.

Amen #12 and I'm not sure installing J. Jordan will be an improvement. I hear he is Trey Gowdy #2.
