In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?

22.22% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.

77.78% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.

0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

    House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) rejected the possibility of entering a power-sharing agreement with House Democrats in order to stave off efforts from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to remove McCarthy from the speakership, saying that Republicans are in the majority and they are not going to surrender.

    When asked by reporters if Gaetz could continually refile the motion to vacate the speakership until his effort is successful, McCarthy acknowledged that it could happen.

    "It seems very personal with Matt, it doesn't look like he's looking out for the country or the institution," McCarthy said.

    McCarthy added that he was not willing to make a power-sharing agreement with Democrats in order to preserve his speakership.

    "That doesn't work," McCarthy said. "Look, I'm a conservative, I'm a Republican. I'm a conservative that wants to get things done ... we're in the majority. You don't surrender."

    "From the day I came in, I've always said, I'm going to treat Hakeem [Jeffries] the way I wanted to be treated," he said. "I think you've seen that. Everything doesn't have to be political."

    McCarthy said that at the end of the day, his decision to vote for the short-term spending bill over the weekend to keep the government open was the right decision to make.

    "I stand by that decision, and at the end of the day if I have to lose my job over, so be it, but I'm going to fight for the American public, and I'll continue to fight."
