The so-called “freedom caucus” wanted the spectacle. They are pompous hostage takers holding up the start of the new Congress. McCarthy had been negotiating and lining up votes for months.

No doubt most GOP Congresscritters have been bought and paid for by
McCarthy.

And as it turns out he didn’t have the votes. He’s about as RINO as you can get.

These are Hannity's worthless talking points. You sound like a McCarthy staffer. Are you happy with the omnibus bill?

They are duly elected Congressmen and Women, just as the rest.
They have a duty to represent their voters, not McCarthy.
And they are doing so.
Or do you prefer McCarthy rule the House like Pelosi did?

Or maybe the handful that opposed McCarthy are among the few in the House that know McCarthy won't do a thing advance a conservative reform agenda.

Will McCarthy do what it takes to clean up the FBI? Will he stop the money laundering operation in Ukraine? Will he do anything to reign in deficit spending?

No real conservative has any faith in establishment POS like McCarthy.

The Terrible Twenty are heroes to America.

I’m going to start calling the 20

The Marbleheaders

Or

The Indispensables

( hat tip to Patrick K. McDonnell )

By June 1775, the Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, had pushed a port town a little more than 300 miles north of Washington Crossing to the brink.

Rendered unemployed and angry by the strict trade measures imposed by British Parliament, virtually every able-bodied man in Marblehead, Massachusetts, rallied to fight against their common enemy. (Accounts vary significantly as to exactly how many men the group included at its inception.)

The men of the Marblehead Regiment rowed Washington across the Delaware and ‘saved the Continental Army multiple times.’ ·

John Glover’s Regiment of Marbleheaders accomplished an amazing feat on the night of Dec. 25, 1776. They ferried 2,400 men, plus horses and artillery, across the Delaware River in a blinding snowstorm.

Glover’s Regiment had a well-earned reputation for discipline and teamwork.

But not everyone approved of it.

/ sound familiar ? /
