Privately? This from Axios, the evil spawn of those who founded Politico? Is this intended to be another undermining of a loyal Trump supporting Conservative representative? Sure sounds like it...

I’ve got the feeling he’s interested in bigger things than the house. Senate or President. Going with newsmax he will get national attention whenever he wants it. I think this is a good move on his part, but a temporary loss for the republicans party.

I am not surprised and I can see why he is leaving where he can possibly help the MAGA movement more. IF Republicans get the House in 2022, he sees there aren’t enough brave patriots to deny rino Kevin the Speakership. The leadership will be doing the bidding of the Bush globalist wing. The Liz Cheneys are promoted and protected and conservatives are dumped on. God bless you Matt.

Gaetz is a natural performer - - and he has a creative, comic wit. I'm sure he finds congress to be deadly dull - - and performing on TV to be very attractive. He's a real fighter for our side - - much like Fightin' Roy Blunt - - and he'll serve us very well in front of a camera.

So what? I don’t care if you go to church or not, I don’t care if you proclaim to be a christian or not.....I want intelligence and a solid grasp of the constitution in my elected officials. I want people in Congress to actually be committed to working for the good of all citizens. I don’t care about some useless “litmus” test being applied to congressman over abortion, religious beliefs and/or church affiliation or membership in some club. There are enough problems for elected officials or those who wish to be elected to deal with without some ridiculous “tests’ they supposedly have to pass to get elected. How many good people don’t run for public office due to having to deal with or respond to some of useless litmus tests mentioned above? Maybe, just maybe we should be electing candidates who have solid ideas on how to make this country better for all and not elect people just because they belong to some church.

Fame and fortune calls. One more Republican firebrand off to more lucrative pursuits. At least he will finish his term unlike Jason Chaffetz who abandoned his Utah constituents right after winning his second term in the House. Now seen regularly on Fox.

Matt Gaetz apparently has seen the true ugliness in representing the people of the United States of America. The real Americans will miss him. He has seen the appalling state of our government. I think his pursuing a different course in his life at 38 is admirable. He should be encouraged.

I haven't any interest in commentary from former members of Congress. I do not listen to any of them any longer. Even Gingrich has gotten boring. Gowdy and the Utah guy are totally irrelevant. I understand why Gaetz would change jobs. Being a member of the House is a job few would want. And he will get a lot more money at Newsmax.

Second post. Apologies, but I just saw a piece in the Daily Mail about a sex-trafficking investigation involving a 17-year-old girl. Even if unfounded, the media would love to hang it around his neck as 2022 approaches.

According to New Clips, Matt is very close to President Trump and spends a lot of time at Mar A Lago. I would bet Trump advised Matt on this move (if this story is even true). I thought Matt would run for a Senate Seat in 2022. I think he's Sharp, Funny, well informed and Yes, I think he has a face and smile for TV! Somehow I just don't see him happy reading the news on Newsmax!

The media in the US is perhaps the most corrupt and dishonest group of people in the world today. They are one-sided and severely biased. Their actions during the 2020 Election were repulsive and they are again showing their real colors in the way they are reporting Biden’s self-made crisis at the border.Newsbusters released a video showing the differences between how the biased and sick media in the US reported immigrants at the border under President Trump and today under Biden. The differences are disgusting (not shocking since we are well aware of the media’s bias):

The White House is pushing an infrastructure bill that could reshape the discussion around capitalism as it seems to reestablish the federal government as a primary driver of how the economy should grow and function.In addition to traditional infrastructure projects, Biden’s $2.25 trillion American Jobs Plan would make government investments in broadband, electric vehicles, climate change, elderly care, child benefits, housing and developing future technologies. It would redefine classic infrastructure projects to include investments in workers and families paid for by tax hikes on corporations.

Joe Biden recently told a lie so big about the new Georgia election laws that the far-left Washington Post called him out for it. Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler knocked Biden for falsely claiming a new Georgia law “ends voting hours early,” giving him its harshest rating of Four Pinocchios for spreading the misinformation.Biden repeatedly claimed last week a law signed by Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp “would make it harder for working-class people to vote.”Biden said: “What I’m worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It’s sick.

President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, the so-called “American Jobs Plan,” spends a great deal of space promising to address “racial equity.”As Breitbart News has explained, the term “equity” is not the same as “equality.” Equity is prepared to sacrifice equality before the law to benefit individuals claiming membership in groups deemed to suffer from historic disadvantages.Under President Donald Trump, black unemployment and poverty rates reached record lows, and the gap between black and white unemployment was the smallest ever, thanks to economic growth, Opportunity Zones, and immigration enforcement.

Sharon Osbourne appeared in great spirits Tuesday as she was spotted for the first since her contentious departure from “The Talk,” which a source told us left her with a multimillion-dollar payout. On her way into lunch at the Sunset Marquis hotel in Hollywood, Osbourne gave a thumbs-up to a videographer who asked her how she’s doing. The former host then threw up the peace sign and appeared to smile underneath her face mask when asked if everything was good. For the outing, Osbourne, 68, opted for a classic look that included a loosely-fitted black suit and white shirt accessorized with pearls.

President Joe Biden has introduced a gargantuan spending bill ostensibly aimed at shoring up and expanding America’s crumbling infrastructure, but as usual, there are a lot of things in the measure completely unrelated to ‘infrastructure.’To be sure, the measure would spend hundreds of billions on roads, bridges, airports, and so forth. In fact, a Washington Post analysis found that the bill earmarks $650 billion for those kinds of projects.But again, that’s just $650 billion out of $2.2 trillion. So — if this is an ‘infrastructure’ spending bill, where is the other two-thirds of the money (that we don’t have) going?

CEO Ed Bastian offered his assessment of the new Georgia law in a memo sent to employees less than a week after Delta officials joined other corporate lobbyists to shape the final version of a sweeping measure that could make it harder for some Georgia citizens to cast ballots.

Just a third of Americans questioned in an NPR/Marist poll released on Tuesday say they approve of Biden's handling of the issue of immigration, with 53% saying they disapprove of his performance. While two-thirds of Democrats say they approve of how Biden has handled the issue in the first two months of his presidency, approval plunges to 27% among independents and to just 5% among Republicans.
