If not Kevin McCarthy, then who?

"Taking power back from a fiat government will not be easy. Power is the end game to many statists. Things could get ugly in 2023 - much uglier than in 2022. Where will it end? Hopefully back at a Republic."

Tomorrow is the day most of us "normals" have been waiting for now, for almost two years. The "speed bump" is about to be re-inserted into the House of Representatives. The 118th Congress will be sworn in, and peace, will once again return to the shire. Or will it? Seems there is a fly in the ointment. Maybe two flies. The first will be electing a Speaker of the House. The bets are on Kevin McCarthy, but it is far from a certain thing.

Here is the problem as most of us see it. If not McCarthy, then who? Keep in mind, we have a very thin majority right now. All it would take is five or so defectors, and BAM - there goes the vote. So, here is the question - if not McCarthy, then who? I have said this before, Democrats refuse to use litmus tests on their people. They can be flawed or comical, and it does not matter. !00% of the minions will vote for that person. Republicans, on the other hand, are very good shots. Nobody is better at shooting themselves in the feet when solidarity is needed. Bottom line? This week could be a mess for the red team.

Then there is the issue of Biden's team "slow walking" requests for oversight hearings. Any advanced notifications which have been sent over to the White House (since the election), have been rejected by team Biden. "Submit them again when you are in the majority. Until Tuesday, you are only minority players". This could be a bad omen. If team Biden does in fact "slow walk" all requests, the courts will be dragged into this mess. So much for being the most transparent administration in history.

Right now, we have a broken government. The Executive Branch is way, way too powerful. Has been for a while now. Many on both sides of the aisle, think we need to go back to Article One of the Constitution. Our Founders set this government up NOT to have king - but a President instead. The real power is suppose to be "by the people", and reside in the People's House (Capitol Building). 

Taking power back from a fiat government will not be easy. Power is the end game to many statists. Things could get ugly in 2023 - much uglier than in 2022. Where will it end? Hopefully back at a Republic. The Founders warned us that a Republic was hard to hold on to. They were right. Now to get our power back from the Banana Republic, and put it where it should reside. When? Starting tomorrow.
