The “Speaker” selection process, as crazy as it may seem, has made it all much bigger and more important than if done the more conventional way. Congratulations to Kevin McCarthy and our GREAT Republican Party!
McCartthy says "Bill Number One" will be to repeal the funding of the IRS to hire 80,000 new agents.
As has been reported, it will only take a single congressperson, acting in what is known as a Jeffersonian Motion, to move to remove the Speaker if he or she goes back on their word or policy agenda.
A “Church” style committee will be convened to look into the weaponization of the FBI and other government organizations (presumably the CIA, the subject of the original Church Committee) against the American people.
Term limits will be put up for a vote.
Bills presented to Congress will be single subject, not omnibus with all the attendant earmarks, and there will be a 72-hour minimum period to read them.
The Texas Border Plan will be put before Congress. From The Hill: “The four-pronged plan aims to ‘Complete Physical Border Infrastructure,’ ‘Fix Border Enforcement Policies,’ ‘Enforce our Laws in the Interior’ and ‘Target Cartels & Criminal Organizations.’”
COVID mandates will be ended as will all funding for them, including so-called “emergency funding.”
Budget bills would stop the endless increases in the debt ceiling and hold the Senate accountable for the same.
My only comment - Those concessions look really great. However the Supreme Court has yet to announce its decision on the Brunson case (possibly Monday) which could unseat hundreds in government; therefore the video below remains valid. MK

This Is Not A Drill??? Or A Joke???
The image of Trump in the Speaker's chair is the funny part.
But what he says in his latest video is deadly serious - and it does NOT look as though he expects to wait a full two years before going after the cartels with everything at his disposal as President and Commander-In-Chief.
