Thank you to IS and best wishes for a Happy and Healthy 2023 to all.
I wish a Happy New Year to everyone.
Unfortunately, last week’s spending bill will pretty much ensure that 2023 will suck! It will be even worse if Kevin McCarthy is Speaker. McCarthy is a California Political animal who has shown himself to be something of a go along to get along RINO.
The Republican House will not be able to do anything positive legislatively. The Republican House MUST focus on Government Corruption until next October when they can begin to defund the Deep State. The New Speaker must say there’s a new America First Sheriff in town and Government Corruption is Job One!.
Andy Biggs has prosecutor experience and appears to be a strong contender for Speaker. I like Steve Scalise, but he doesn’t have a background as a Prosecutor. Rep. Jim Jordan should stay on Judiciary. I love Matt Gaetz’s energy and focus, but he just doesn’t have the tenure to be effective; YET! I like Michael McCaul who was a federal prosecutor. The problem with the Republican House Leadership is, it’s out of touch with the Republican Party which is now Trump’s America First Party. If the Dinosaur Republicans stay in power, I fear a Party split in 2024.
If the Republican House can find the backbone to make a real statement against Federal Government Corruption then they should put Rudy Giuliani or Donald Trump in the Speaker’s Chair. While Rudy would be better at focusing on Anti-corruption Efforts, President Trump would be better at keeping the Party Members inline. I would lean toward Rudy Giuliani as he has a proven record taking down Crime Families.
Resolution: Show more appreciation for M. Dowling and some of the regular contributors who share so much information.
How about we all offer to financially support the site, also.
I’d be willing to to pay some each month.
Anyone else?
Congrats, IS, you are firmly in the top ten on my aggregate news bookmarks, which means you may occasionally get linked out in an email. I don’t have any social media accounts, even though I may own etfs in the industry. Social media has done wonders to keep private and secluded areas of the world private and secluded.
I can’t really offer any advice or predictions for the new year, as it is not my custom to alter another’s fate. However, if I may offer one insight, the road to understanding is paved with forgiveness. Enjoy.
