Some other issues with MCarthy that he is not willing to allow to come to the floor are, term limits, fix the rules to stop the fast tracking of legislation so it cannot be thoroughly examined and fair committee appointments. McCarthy is a fellow traveler with Mith McConnel.
I hope the twenty hold out until they get what thy want. Even Fox News Hannity and Ingram treated guests badly if they did not support McCarthy. Hold your nose and vote Republican only supports RINOs. The twenty are heroes.

Mitch McConnell is a disaster, nothing but a Democrat enabler. He needs to be tarred and feathered and run out of the GOP on a rail. It is way past time to Ditch Mitch.

All good points CV. I took the vaccine 4 times now and each time the paperwork said the shot was not fully approved and for emergency use. In big bold print. It wasn’t hidden.
It was a tough decision but at the time the right one for me. I’m just glad a lot of people made the same choice as my life is pretty much back to normal.

A proven, fully tested vaccine is one thing, but an experimental vaccine from a new process that is far from fully tested is quite another, and the mRNA vaccines for Covid fall into the latter category. No one should be compeeled to take them, and government agencies that promote them should give full discloaures and warnings. As it turned out, the herd immunity approach, that was proposed early on by one of the world's leading virologists and epidemiologists at Oxford University, was the best way to go, not the totalitarian lockdowns. Sweden proved that herd immunity worked best. Its public health authorities are to be commended, unlike those like Fauci who followed Red China. Chine is proving right now that lockdowns are a time bomb that will eventually blow up on you.

One thing that is also needed is to reinstate the Hastert Rule, used by the last half decent GOP House leader, Denny Hastert. That said that nothing was put on the floor for a vote unless a majority of the GOP caucus agreed, and anything that a majority of the caucus wanted to go to the floor did so. That rule is also very badly needed in the NC General Assembly.
In meddling in primaries, it is not just the 1st District in eastern NC where McCarthy has meddled, but also our own 3rd District, when it became vacant after Walter Jones death. We keep to get the Washington, DC saamp OUT of our local primaries. McConnell is also horrible on that one. If McCarthy will come to Jesus on some of the key issues, then maybe they can settle on him, but I would rather see someone more trustworthy and without his baggage.

Watch the surrender monkeys on this one. The press is trying to discredit the 19 or 20 House members who have McCarthy on hold. The 19 or 20 are heroes.
The issue us getting the rules changed so members o Congress have time to read legislation and an opportunity to stop bad bills. An excellent example of bad bills is the 1.7 trillion dollar budget bill that RINO Mitch McConnel just got passed with the House having only three days to digest over 4,000 pages. The issue is that McCarthy has refused to support changing the rules to stop cram down legislation. Thank God for the brave 20 or 19.

Jann, I can appreciate the thoughtful response. However we often do insist people get vaccinated. Some people have always questioned it from smallpox to polio; my personal rights vs the common good. Covid is funny because even though over a million Americans died from it, most who get it don't die.
That said, President Trump was wise to push for vaccine development because it was the only path back to a normal life. You may decide not to take the vaccine but the least we can do is thank those who did. I still cant figure out this basic principle of public health and wellness got mixed up in politics and crackpot conspiracy theories.

Any time there are accusations of an election where there are inconsistencies in how the voting is done and how votes are counted, there should automatically be a recount or a re-vote. Forcing citizens to accept results they believe to be erroneous is an insult to the citizens and infringes on citizens rights.

WE will soon be seeing the same problems Europe is seeing from the illegal aliens migrants. It is not just riots, but crime. In Europe, migrants represent a huge percentage of those arrested for broad ranges of serious crimes. They have organized violent criminal gangs, and right now there are shootings and bombing in several Swedish cities in turf wars between rival gangs of Third World migrant criminals. In Italy, several criminal gangs of Third World ethnicity are even challenging the Italian mafia for control of criminal enterprises. Here in the US we already have a number of well established Hispanic criminal gangs, MS13 from El Salvador being the most violent, but several Mexican gangs are not far hehind. Illegal immigration poses a threat in many ways in both Europe and the US.

If people wanna get vaccinated, it's their right to do so. This is America but don't force those who have not been vaccinated to get the vaccine. Some of us have done A LOT of research and are not willing to put our bodies under this government experiment. If your willing to play and take chances with the experiment, that's your right as an American but don't put a guilt trip on the rest of us.
Most vaccines take years of experiments before they put it out on the public. This was rushed way to fast for me, so I'd rather not.

Actually most of us know someone who has died from covid. The anti-vax movement is the the single dumbest movement on the planet. Most of us are alive today because of good nutrition, antibiotics and vaccines. Thats a fact. The Covid 19 vaccine was rushed, but saved millions of lives. And continues to save lives. Yes there will be side affects. Unknowns. Complications for some.Nothing is perfect.
My advice, get vaccinated, avoid large crowds and wear a mask when you cant. Thats about the best you can do.

Commented on Modern Tale of Two CitiesVery true, the school board appears indifferent to what parents or citizens have to say. When you are presenting your point of view you are looking at faces that display their boredom with your presentation.

Many of these definitions are spot on as to the Orwellian Newspeak of today's far left Democrats. One they have totally missed, however is "Diversity" and the new Democrat definiation of that is "knocking down whitey", especially white heterosexual males.

Commented on Medicaid enrollees to hit 100 million in MarchIf RINO Senator Jim Perry has his way, there will be even more. Perry is one of the main errand boys for Big Medicien in the NC General Assembly and he is pushing hard to pass the Obamacare Medicaid expansion in North Carolina. He was a key player in pushing it through the Senate last time. Only House conservatives led by Keith Kidwell and the Freedom Caucus stopped it last time. RINO House Speaker Tim Moore is in bed with Big Medicine on this, too.
