Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) reflected on the end of his Speakership on Thursday while taking a dig at Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), saying he “couldn’t live” with himself if he cut a deal with Democrats to keep his job. McCarthy
was ousted from the Speakership in October after eight Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), backed a motion to vacate, alongside all Democrats. McCarthy said he refused to work with Democrats to save his job at the time, claiming their price was too high. HOUSE McCarthy says he ‘couldn’t live’ with himself if he did deal with Democrats...

Kevin McCarthy is escalating his revenge campaign against Rep. Matt Gaetz. In an interview with POLITICO, McCarthy backed Gaetz’s new Florida GOP primary challenger; a top McCarthy adviser also acknowledged playing a role in vetting that opponent, Aaron Dimmock. And McCarthy delivered a slashing attack on Gaetz, who led the effort to
overthrow him as speaker last fall. “Gaetz is the Hunter Biden of the Republican Party,” McCarthy said. “He’s got an opponent who is pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, trained at Pensacola, went to the Naval Academy and flew jets to defend us while Gaetz was getting kicked out of high...

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has recruited Aaron Dimmock, who hails from Missouri, to primary conservative stalwart Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL). After Gaetz successfully used a Motion to Vacate to oust McCarthy from the House Speakership, the California Republican signaled he would recruit challengers to each of his House colleagues who
voted with Gaetz. Dimmock, a U.S. Navy veteran, is by no stretch a conservative Republican. He has shown support for Black Lives Matter (BLM) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs according to his social media. The Dimmock congressional campaign and McCarthy’s American Patriots PAC share a treasurer...

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy predicted Sunday that House Republicans won’t attempt to dethrone his replacement during this session of Congress. Last Friday, firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) dangled a motion to depose Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Friday, but framed that resolution as a warning. “Speaker
Johnson is doing the very best job he can. It’s a difficult situation,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “I do not think they could do it again.”

Washington — CBS News projects the U.S. House special election in California's 20th congressional district will go to a runoff to fill the vacancy left by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Republican State Assembly member Vince Fong advanced to the runoff, which will take place in May. Fong, who is vying to
fill the vacancy left by McCarthy, has the former speaker's endorsement and the backing of former President Donald Trump. Among those challenging him is Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux. It was still unclear who would emerge to face him in May's special election. The solidly conservative district is...

Next week’s special election to replace former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has another layer of intrigue, after The Associated Press projected that the November general election will feature McCarthy’s chosen successor running against another Republican. Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux secured the second general election spot on Wednesday, eclipsing Democrat Marisa Wood
and setting a November matchup with state Assembly member Vince Fong, a former McCarthy aide. The results set the stage for the March 19 special election to fill out McCarthy’s unexpired term. Whoever emerges from that race — whether next week or in a potential May 21 runoff...

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) hit back at former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Monday after he said she needs help “to straighten out her life” last week, twisting the insult into a fundraising pitch. McCarthy
went after Mace on Tuesday in a Capitol Hill visit. The pair have feuded after she was one of eight GOP members who voted to oust him from the Speakership in October. “I hope Nancy gets the help she needs, I really do,” McCarthy told reporters. “I just hope she gets the help to straighten out her life.

Kevin McCarthy couldn’t bend unruly Republican lawmakers to his will in Washington. Back home in Bakersfield, Republican voters may reject his succession plan. The
ousted House speaker’s abrupt retirement launched a fierce fight for one of California's few reliably red seats. Where it once seemed McCarthy could anoint a successor, his preferred candidate — Assemblymember Vince Fong — is battling two other viable Republicans in a test of conservative voters’ mood and attitude toward their party’s old guard. As Fong and his rivals sprint to the March 5 primary to replace McCarthy, they are navigating the same forces that sealed...

The “Mary McCarthy” Rule for Discussing the PRC’s Economy and Economic Data… and the WEF

| 28 Jan, 2024 | James E. Fanell and Bradley A. Thayer
The CCP lies about the true state of its economy, so much so that we propose the “Mary McCarthy” rule when anyone discusses the PRC economy or PRC economic statistics. While
there is no shortage of threats to the United States, many of these are transparent for those with the eyes to see, such as the People’s Republic of China‘s (PRC) military threats. Others are far more subtle, such as the World Economic Forum (WEF). Occasionally, events capture the intersection of these threats, like the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, which was one of those moments where the threat...

"If there was a free, public domain audio book written by Joseph McCarthy, would you be interested in listening to it?" Just
as the question states. Senator Joseph McCarthy wrote several books, what if one or many of them were recorded as open source public domain audio books and given away for/to everybody? Would you be interested in listening and learning from them? Would you share it with others? I'm just curious what people say to this.

McCarthy protege can run for Congress after court win (primary is March 5th - vote against Fong)

Politico ^
| 12/28/23 | Melanie Mason
At issue was whether Fong could remain on the ballot as a congressional candidate, even though he had already filed for reelection for his Assembly seat after opting not to seek McCarthy’s seat. Fong
changed his mind after state Sen. Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield), who was widely seen as a strong potential contender, surprised the Central Valley by declining to run. By that point, the deadline to withdraw from the ballot as an Assembly candidate had passed. Fong filed for a congressional run anyway, which Weber said violated state law against appearing on the same ballot twice for different positions. After...
