The current GOP establishment is already being purged it will take later but it is coming.

This is like the sequel to the 1992 movie 'The Distinguished Gentleman' but with more conniving & backstabbing politics including jockeying for higher office.

Cough-Cough Stefanik.

[Zachowon]

So you want the dems to actually fight against themselves?

And isn't the whole entire new act being made, wouldn't it cause fir all of them to be expelled in someway

 

[Cherico]

yeah this process is incredibly slow but its honestly going faster then expected I thought we would be stuck with cheny's daughter for at least another decade. All of the people on that list deserve some conquences but you have to remove all of the people who refuse to fight on the right first.

The house is not in order and until it is we are stuck with things as they are.

Michael Pena almost certainly will probably portray Santos. If not him, I'm sure either a Brazilian or Portuguese actor can portray Santos in a Hollywood movie someday.

his career is over, a speaker getting ousted by his own party is a once in a century fuck up after that you do need to call it quits.

 

[Bigking321]

Hmm...

Doesn't that reduce the Republicans control of the house to like 2 or 3?

Are the rinos trying to lose control of the house to the democrats?

A couple of people have strokes or something and it's gone.

Say adiós to the conservation of American history, heritage, and culture—it was good while it lasted.

Reported by John Binder at Breitbart yesterday, Joe Biden has officially announced his opposition to congressional legislation that, if enacted, would prohibit the federal government from developing federal lands into tent cities and sprawling migrant camps. The statement released by Biden's office reads as such:

The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 5283, which would prohibit the use of Federal funds to provide temporary shelter to certain noncitizens, including migrants seeking asylum, on Federal lands falling under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or the Forest Service. The Administration opposes this legislation because it would significantly restrict the ability of the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture to make decisions regarding the appropriate uses of their lands and resources, even in emergency or other situations.
So much for Democrats' yammering and virtue signaling about the environment—migrants are notorious for their complete disregard of the landscape, and their impact is consequential. One need look no further than the rotting polyester sleeping bags and tents, or mounds of trash and plastic water bottles, littering the desertscape of Saguaro National Park; the fragile flora species trampled underfoot in Big Bend National Park; or the undergarments hung in the "rape trees" of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

Much of "federal land" is, at least ostensibly, in federal control because these locales must be preserved for posterity's sake.

Places like Shenandoah, the Smokies, Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, Joshua Tree, etc., have a natural beauty so unique, it's seen nowhere else in the world—they are environmental and ecological treasures, and the federal government agreed to keep them as such.

Places like Manassas, Breed's Hill, Pea Ridge, etc., are grounds soaked in American blood, where Americans gave their lives for causes like liberty and freedom from tyranny—they are historical and cultural treasures, and the federal government agreed to keep them as such.

These could all be gone to make way for third world dependents waiting for the next handout? Disgrace upon disgrace.

Also, what happened to the left's disdain for corralling a bunch of interlopers into a controlled area? Didn't they use the term "open air prisons" to describe such circumstances? Isn't that what they accused Israel of doing to the Arabs living in Gaza? How else would you describe tent shelters and facilities behind fencing and razor wire?

Or are these federal armies getting into position on federal lands?

Over 20 Million Immigrants Are Set To Vote In 2024

Over 20 Million Immigrants Are Set To Vote In 2024 | NewsRadio 740 KTRH | KTRH Local Houston and Texas News

More than 23 million immigrants are set to vote in next years election

ktrh.iheart.com

Next year's critical 2024 election is now 11 months away, and there are already concerns about fair voting.

According data released by a left-wing group, more than 23 million immigrants are going to vote.

"It's very true that the number of people, the millions that are coming across the border that are undocumented could absolutely be marshalled through the weaknesses in our existing system to vote" said Catherine Engelbrecht, president of True The Vote.

She also noted something else that is true.

"Not reflected in the 20 million, is the some 50 million estimates show of people that are coming across the border undocumented" Engelbrecht told KTRH, "And the way that they can find their way on to the voter rolls through the weaknesses of a system that's been eroding for decades."

Come next year, 1 out of every 10 voters in the 2024 election will be foreign born.

NYC Orders Voter Registration Forms For All Migrants

It's all about the elections.

Why are Democrats keeping the border open and flooding major cities with masses of invading illegal aliens? It's all about the elections.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) on Sunday accused New York City of trying to stack voter rolls by trying to illegally register migrants housed at a Staten Island shelter to cast ballots in the upcoming elections.
Malliotakis, joined by four other Staten Island Republicans, claimed a city contract with a nonprofit hired to run the shelter includes a stipulation that voter registration forms are to be distributed to asylum seekers staying there — which they called both unlawful and underhanded.
The contract, which Malliotakis said was obtained via a state Freedom of Information Law request, includes a stipulation that the nonprofit, in accordance with the New York City charter, "shall provide and distribute voter registration forms to all persons," with the forms to be made available in Spanish and Chinese.

Mayor Eric Adams claims that it's absurd and untrue, and forced on the city by DHS regulations, but New York City had previously passed a law allowing non-citizens to vote.

More than 800,000 noncitizens and "Dreamers" in New York City will have access to the ballot box — and could vote in municipal elections as early as next year — after Mayor Eric Adams allowed legislation to automatically become law Sunday.

A judge struck down that law, but never assume that the Undead Civic Voters Association and the Guy We Paid 5 Bucks to Cast a Ballot Committee are going to stop.

Keeping the borders open is about elections and political power.

Mayorkas Opens the Border Again, Now to Ecuadorians

Mayorkas Opens the Border Again, Now to Ecuadorians

Congress continues to do nothing to restrict the main tool enabling Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s unlawful overreach: his abu

www.theamericanconservative.com

Congress continues to do nothing to restrict the main tool enabling Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's unlawful overreach: his abuse of the "humanitarian parole" authority to admit foreigners under a narrow exception in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The INA allows the president to admit selected foreigners who cannot obtain a visa but have a pressing need to enter the U.S., such as to receive medical treatment or take part in a court matter. Mayorkas has seized this authority as dynamite to blast open our national borders.

Earlier this year, Mayorkas used humanitarian parole as the pretext to invent immigration programs for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (called "CHNV") that permit 30,000 "legal" monthly admissions from those countries. Under the sketchy CHNV rules that Mayorkas created by diktat, the parolees from these four countries can self-select themselves; basically the sole requirements are having a sponsor and not being on a U.S. watchlist.

Mayorkas's sleight of hand has also invented something he calls "Family Reunification Parole" (FRP), yet another scheme for speeding up the entry of those favored nationals he wants to let in now.

Under FRP, foreigners on the processing list for family-reunification immigrant visas (commonly called "chain migrants") are no longer required to await their legal turn to be interviewed, medically examined, and vetted in their home countries. FRP will now permit Ecuadorians, who will join the special club of Colombians, El Salvadorans, Guatemalans, and Hondurans (plus Haitians and Cubans, who are covered by both programs) to simply ignore the waiting times required by American law and come directly into the U.S. as "parolees."

Mayorkas's improvisation again throws out the INA's worldwide immigrant quota and vetting system, which in many cases would require these foreigners to wait years for their lawful chance to be processed as visa applicants. The fact that they are facing waiting periods, as is the case with some 4 million would-be chain migrants around the globe, does not mean the INA is treating them "unfairly," nor is it a "broken" immigration system. Confronted by millions who want to come here, the law is working exactly as it was designed, restricting the number of immigrants each year to the quotas Congress approved.

Yet the current system, which is already overly generous in admitting annually more than a million legal immigrants, is not good enough for the Biden administration. In its announcement on Ecuadorians, DHS posted this paragraph:

The Family Reunification Parole process promotes family unity consistent with our laws and our values," said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. "Establishing this process for certain Ecuadorian nationals will ensure more families can access lawful pathways rather than placing themselves at the mercy of smugglers to make the dangerous journey. Those who do not avail themselves of family reunification parole or other lawful, safe, and orderly pathways and attempt to enter the United States unlawfully will continue to face tough consequences.
Note that the announcement does not even threaten those Ecuadorians who "refuse to avail themselves of FRP" with deportation. When Mayorkas makes reference to "our values," he is blatantly ignoring that those values are already clearly anchored in existing U.S. law. It is in fact fundamentally un-American to replace the rule of law by diktat; it is an incredible power grab and a national outrage even by modern Washington standards.

In favoring certain nationalities, Mayorkas is ignoring INA language that directly forbids it. The law asserts: "… no person shall receive any preference or priority or be discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person's race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence" (emphasis added) §1152(a)(1)(A).

While the parolees are technically entering the U.S. without a visa, they are still being clearly favored in immigration because of who they are and where they come from. By any fair reading of the law, this action is a direct violation of the non-favoritism standard established in the INA.

What is going on with the DHS General Counsel's office? Is there a DHS Inspector General's investigation underway on Mayorkas's abuses? Most importantly, was this unlawful conduct not worthy of a House impeachment vote against Mayorkas?

Reckless with his unchecked power, Mayorkas is likely to announce next that Ecuadorians already illegally in the United States will be granted "Temporary Protected Status." TPS was first enacted by a gullible Congress as a measure to allow foreign nationals to remain in the U.S. if their country was beset by armed conflict or national catastrophe. Democrat administrations have wildly stretched TPS into a backdoor to allow illegal migrants to remain indefinitely in the United States.

As with parole, Congress desperately needs to take back this abused TPS authority, which currently allows nationals from 16 countries, most with dubious claims of being in crisis, to remain in the United States. Despite a history of Democrat presidents expanding this backdoor open-border measure, Ecuador, so far, has been denied TPS. Even the Barack Obama administration refused in 2016 to cave to Ecuadorian pressure for TPS.

Of course, the government of Ecuador continues to lobby for its illegals to stay in the U.S., and it is probably only a matter of time before President Biden, urged on by Antony Blinken's State Department, placates Quito by granting TPS.

Here is the classic example of Mayorkas enabling migrants from another continent to enter the U.S.: not because they are fleeing tyranny, but because they are seeking to better their economic circumstances. Ecuador is not a dictatorship, but simply a corrupt country with high crime rates that struggles economically. It is not unlike scores of other countries on the planet.

Illegal Ecuadorian migrants continue to come, and very few are deported. In the past year, American border authorities encountered some 100,000 trying to cross the southern frontier from Mexico. There are now over 480,000 Ecuadorians in the U.S., with at least half of those illegally present. It is estimated that the Ecuadorian diaspora, since arriving in the U.S., has birthed another 270,000 children, who are now dual nationals. They are already organizing politically. As one Ecuadorian who was caught explained, "It is my dream to enter the United States to improve my work situation, because in Ecuador there are no such opportunities or jobs. The government does nothing. That is not the case with the open-border Biden administration. "Ali" Mayorkas is riding to the rescue of all would-be economic migrants, hundreds of millions of whom are clamoring to come to the U.S.

Congress must stop him.

Yeah, but the illegals will want to stay in the nice and comfy USA where they get Free Stuff and thus will 'vote' Biden.

Also, thanks to Leftist fearmongering, I imagine a lot of Hispanic conservatives will vote against Trump because they'll be convinced of the fact that he'll throw them out too.

I mean the handwriting was on the wall for McCarthy once he agreed to the debt ceiling agreement to prevent government shutdown. Other factors resulting in his downfall.

I would rather be either a United States Senator or serve as Governor for 20+ years.
