The Great Eight Or The Hateful Eight?

By George Rasley, CHQ Editor

To us the eight Republican House Members who voted to vacate the chair are “the great eight.” We urge House conservatives to unite around a “keep our word” candidate for Speaker, who will follow through and actually fight for the conservative issues Republicans run on, but under Kevin McCarthy could never quite get around to legislating on.

Our friends at SAVE are inviting candidates for federal, state, or local office to sign a “Candidate Pledge to Protect Schools, Children, and Families from the Federal Title IX Plan.” Even though the Pledge was not publicly announced until October 5, lawmakers in Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia already have signed on to the statement.

The Right Resistance: Is Matt Gaetz’s destiny to be seen as a goat – or savior of the republic? By Jeffrey Rendall No one suggests the battle for the next Speaker will be docile and quiet, but then again, wasn’t the House of Representatives created by the Founders to be somewhat tumultuous? With Kevin McCarthy out of the picture, conservatives and Republicans hope his replacement will be the type of advocate for liberty we’ve always wanted. Will we get it? Will Matt Gaetz deserve the credit? READ	How About Rep. Byron Donalds For Speaker? By George Rasley, CHQ EditorRep. Byron Donalds is not part of the Swamp, as is Steve Scalise, and he’s never made compromises with the Swamp, as has Jim Jordan, otherwise good man that he is. To our way of thinking Rep. Byron Donalds is the only real change agent among those whose name has been floated and he’s the right person to unify the fractious GOP Conference behind a “keep our promises” agenda.

We just want to be left alone. Many especially don’t like getting involved in local government. Consequently, we’re not there when decisions are made. As a result, those of us who don’t really like government have gotten more government! READ
The Right Resistance: The Republican Party owes conservatives love and a winning attitude By Jeffrey Rendall The next time a Republican politician asks, “What do you want from me?”, try telling them you want “love” and a hard drive towards doing what it takes to win elections. In American politics, there is no consolation prize for second place, and there’s no substitute for respect for the people who contribute the money and do the work for the party to succeed.

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Monday filed a long-expected motion to "vacate the chair" against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the House voted to vacate the chair and oust Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. Eight Republicans voted with every present Democrat to vacate the speaker's chair. The final vote was 216 to 210 in favor of McCarthy's ouster.

One common denominator that explains why previously successful societies implode is their descent into fantasies. A collective denial prevents even discussion of existential threats and their solutions. Yet neither state nor local officials nor Joe Biden himself, nor Democrats in Congress even admits to a crime wave. The more the public is attacked and avoids major downtowns, the more it polls furor over the crime wave. Despite our epidemic of fantasy, there remains reality.
