House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is expressing extreme confidence in his chances of becoming Speaker next year if Republicans win control of the House in the midterm elections, suggesting that divine intervention is the only thing that can keep him from the gavel. McCarthy said in an interview with Punchbowl News published Monday that he believes he can win the votes of the House Republican Conference no matter how large a GOP majority is, that the prospect of losing does not keep him up at night, and that if he doesn’t win, it wasn’t in “God’s plan.” “I think I can win

He is probably in like Flynn because there are so many RINOs and he is one. I hope the election is such that they will wake up and realize who it is they work for. Broken glass, baby!

I wish we had an actually conservative, competent Repub leader in the House. I think Steve Scalise would do better than McCarthy.

Anybody heard the old saw "don't count your chickens before the eggs have hatched"? Folks, the democrats still have an election to steal and there's NO GUARANTEE that Republicans of any flavor will rule the House. And steal it they will.

We do not need a dumb, weak, compromised and disloyal (remember, he blamed Trump for the FBI staged January 6 "riot" after Trump touted McCarthy's re-election) pretty boy as speaker. If he only had the balls that hag Pelosi has, I might feel better about him. But he doesn't. We need a smart, cagey, rock solid conservative, beholden to no Rhinos or the deep state, a gutter fighter that revels in winning bruising, important battles for the continuance of this great country. GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY, Kevin. If you ever said those three words, I also might feel better about you. But you haven't and you won't. From Kevin's lips to God's ears; republicans win both the House and Senate and the new majorities throw-out both McConnell and McCarthy in favor of tough, principled, unafraid conservative leaders.

Nineteen people were shot, two of them fatally, Friday into Saturday night across Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago. ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reports the first of the two fatal shootings took place just before 10 p.m. Friday night, when a 13-year-old boy was shot and killed in the “7000 block of North Sacramento Avenue.” CBS Chicago notes the 13-year-old was identified as Lavel Winslow. He was found on a park bench with a gunshot wound to his head. Just after midnight Saturday morning, the second fatal shooting occurred when a 17-year-old was shot and killed “in the 700 block of West 50th Street.” Breitbart News reported nearly 20 were shot last weekend

The Connecticut State Police labeled the incident an officer-involved shooting (OIS), tweeting: (break for tweet) The Hartford Courant reported the shooting occurred “after police went to an altercation at Bleachers, a Middle Street bar.” After going to the bar, the officers went to the residence of someone believed to be involved in the incident at Bleachers and “apparently were ambushed.” FOX News quoted eyewitness Ted Kraweic telling Channel 3, “We just, like, hearing the gunshots like ‘pop pop pop pop pop pop’ up and stop, and then stop

PayPal on Oct. 8 sent out an update to its terms of use, or acceptable use policy (AUP). It included a shocking addition. It reserved the right to confiscate $2,500 from people’s accounts if they spread “misinformation.” It was a clear announcement of what many already suspected: PayPal has enlisted in the information war. This comes weeks after PayPal blocked several important accounts in the UK, including Toby Young’s personal account, the Free Speech Union, and the DailySceptic. These are hugely important venues for the English-speaking world in countering the COVID propaganda narrative. It was no accident that they were targeted.

This week Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel John Durham will begin presenting evidence in the trial of Igor Danchenko, the serial liar whom the FBI used as its “source” to justify spying on the Trump campaign. Durham has already made a bombshell disclosure that the FBI secretly put Danchenko on the bureau’s payroll despite knowing that the information he fed them was fabricated. There is much speculation that more evidence of the bureau’s misconduct will be revealed as the Danchenko trial unfolds. Danchenko was the principal “source” for bogus tales about former President Donald Trump, including the infamous (and fictional) pee tape. Danchenko’s lurid fiction was the centerpiece

Last night, our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com received Dr. Anthony Fauci’s FY2021 financial disclosures from the National Institutes of Health.

As the Biden administration's progressive agenda rages on, shell-shocked Americans are asking themselves, "How could so much go so wrong so fast?" From inflation to energy, immigration to crime, Afghanistan to fentanyl, President Biden has kept America lurching from crisis to crisis, failed policy to failed policy, debacle to debacle — obsessed with dismantling the Trump legacy and deliberately charting a radical course that is proving ruinous to the country. America is burning, and Joe Biden doesn't seem to care.

President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency for Florida on Saturday as Tropical Storm Ian gained strength and barreled toward the Sunshine State. Biden’s declaration came after he delayed a trip to southern Florida scheduled for Tuesday, when he was set to discuss health care in Fort Lauderdale and then attend a Democratic National Committee event in Orlando, the Miami Herald reported. The declaration authorizes the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA to coordinate disaster relief efforts and provide assistance, according to the White House. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency and mobilized the state’s National Guard earlier in the day as Ian gained strength.

The far-left state of California further embraced neo-paganism this week when Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law allowing the practice of composting dead human beings to better combat climate change. Citing the high CO2 emissions associated with cremation, the bill will give people the option to give their dead remains over to a process known as natural organic reduction (NOR) should they not want to be buried or cremated. “The process involves placing the body inside a long, reusable steel container along with wood chips and flowers to aerate it – allowing microbes and bacteria to break down the remains,” according to the Daily Mail.

A jury on Tuesday found Russian national Igor Danchenko, the primary sub-source of the anti-Trump dossier, not guilty on all four counts of making false statements to the FBI. The charges had been brought by Special Counsel John Durham, who is investigating the origins of the FBI's original Trump-Russia investigation. The Danchenko trial is the second out of Durham's years-long investigation, and the second time a jury delivered an acquittal. Former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann was found not guilty of making false statements to the FBI in June.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Tuesday that the Jan. 6 committee's subpoena of former President Donald Trump is imminent. Speaking at a forum at Harvard University, Cheney stressed the subpoena, which the House select committee approved unanimously last week, is for Trump's testimony and for documents related to events surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. "So we'll be issuing a subpoena shortly, both for his testimony under oath as well as for documents. And we'll take whatever next steps we have to take assuming that he will fulfill his legal obligation and honor the subpoena, but if that doesn't happen, we'll take the steps after that," Cheney said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that she dismissed a poll saying Americans’ top concerns going into the November midterm that Americans are most concerned about inflation and crime. Mitchell said, “Let’s talk about rising inflation concerns along with crime, giving momentum, new momentum to Republicans after the Democrats were closing the gap, the historic gap. After the Supreme Court ruling, there was huge outrage. That has seemed to subside, at least among overriding concerns. Despite all the legislative accomplishments, and I want to cite them, I want to say it’s been an extraordinary session.

I’ll bet they are. The problem for Democrats, however, won’t just revolve around their deeply unpopular Demagogue in Chief and the albatross he’s hung around their necks.

Keep that in mind when reading The Hill’s report on “contingency plans” already being considered even before the election results come in: Democrats behind the scenes are already talking about and making contingency plans for 2024 in case President Biden decides not to seek a second term, moves expected to intensify
