The recent (October 3, 2023) ouster of the House Speaker, was a clear departure from the history of our legislative house membership. Never in our history has a Speaker of the House been removed from his position. NEVER! Yes, the rogue rabid right wing fascists, headed up by Matt Gaetz (of course from the fascist Florida cabal), voted to remove Kevin McCarthy from his role as Speaker of the House. His Crime? Simply working in a bipartisan way to conduct business of the United States Congressional House. Oh Horrors.

Understand, folks, I am not defending McCarthy, I have always believed that he was a lying, morally deficient, anti-democracy slug that for some reason the folks in his district continued to hold their noses since 2006 and put that scum sucking pig back into office. BUT, and I stress this strongly, removing the Speaker of the House in this manner is totally opposite from the operational environment of our House in all of our history as the oldest continuing democracy. Yet with morality and decency in the Republican Party at such a low state it is not surprising, disappointing and shameful, but not surprising.

To compound the horror of this idiotic action by the far right members of the GQP, the forerunner candidates for the next Speaker are two of the most undeserving of such a role of authority. Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise are the primary candidates identified so far. And supposedly they are going to be establishing the slate of candidates then having the actual vote for a new Speaker on Tuesday October 10, and Wednesday October 11 for the actual vote. To point out just how horrible this current Republican group is, there is even talk of letting that corrupt, criminal, multiple indicted thug Trump compete for Speaker.

Supposedly the Speaker doesn’t even have to be an elected Representative. I find that difficult to comprehend, that an unelected man or woman could actually be installed as the most important official of the majority party of the House.

But, stupider things have been showing up in our government, especially the House and the Supreme Court.

Jim Jordan has done nothing in his tenure as a House Representative in the entire time from his first election in 2006. He has posted no legislation, contributed no legislative support and has only participated in the House deliberations by being an antagonistic, witness harassing and insulting, bomb throwing, roadblock for the House and the national legislative process. He has been a caustic, insulting, insufferable jerk in the entire time he has been drawing that six figure congressional salary having been returned by those people in Ohio who must have held their nose each election. Otherwise, I cannot imagine why any thinking person would consider this ass as a representative of our people and our rule of legislative actions and financial responsibility.

Steve Scalise is another right winger hoping for enough votes to sully the Speaker position again. I have no detail information to cause my animosity for Scalise, other than his membership in the multiple rabid right wing groups whose sole focus it to keep the Republicans from doing any damn thing to benefit the American Citizenry. Nothing. Having been born and partly raised in Louisiana, and who still has some family members in that state, I have been aware of the machinations of the Right Wing Louisiana Corrupt Politicians and Scalise is right there among that group. I still communicate with some of my relatives in Louisiana (admittedly not many of them, due to strong political and theological differences), but those I do continue to communicate with are not pleased with their right wing political hacks with Scalise at the top of that bunch. His actions in the Congress, while not as bombastic as Jordan, Green, Boebert, and the others in that group of idiots, he still shows his rabid right wing credentials every time he speaks to the press or news media. Of course, he is in the majority of instances, simply parroting the bull shit lies and anti-individual rights put forth by the fascist propaganda mill of the Republican party and their publicity mediums, like Fox and NewsMax.

The last thing this congress needs is another knuckle dragging right wing fascist in the Speaker’s office. But that is what we will more than likely see coming out of this proceedings on Wednesday October 11th.

Simply put folks, just another example of the total destruction of a once honorable political party. I would imagine that the likes of Dwight Eisenhower and that honorable group of former Republicans are turning over in their respective burial plots. Obviously this group of thugs, especially those such as Gaetz, Buck, Biggs, Mace, Good, etc. have no intention or even the capability of governing for this nation. They are among the most vicious of the rabid right wing fascists who were elected to the office of Congressional Representative. And elected for their local election districts by voters who evidently were not practicing situational awareness, or were of the same mindset as those vicious dishonorable cretins they sent to congress and are paid by national taxpayers.

While I strongly suspected that the ouster of McCarthy would likely happen, and Gaetz made no attempt to hide intentions, considering his lack of honor and integrity during his entire time of squatting in the People’s House. And his years of suckling off the taxpayer teats for publicity and money he doesn’t deserve. It was certainly assumed by this old curmudgeon that he would be the asshole who would file the documentation to call for the ouster. This is the same dishonorable scum who has been described as a sexual predator but has, as our multi-tiered judicial system and our corporate news media often does, escaped proper arrest, trial, sentencing and incarceration. Yet this vile creature continues to sit in the once honorable House of Representatives, drawing his six figure salary and doing not a single damn thing for the United States and it’s citizens. And it should be noted that those “honorable, moderate Republicans” haven’t done a damn thing about censoring or even expelling these insulting, vile and vicious people from the people’s Congress. But such is the posture of a significant majority of the Republican Party political cult. While the media continues to mention a group of Republicans who are moderate and not bomb throwers like Jordan and the Gaetz schoolyard bullies, I have yet to witness a single action by these so called moderates that would blunt the fascist degradation of the once decent Republican Party. It is now more representative of historical autocracies, fascist dictatorships, or theocratic inhuman regimes. Sadly so.

Those members of the current Republican fascist group, who countenance violence, vicious verbal assaults, and supporting of the lies and propaganda, are very similar to the Brownshirts and para’s active during the beginnings of the Hitlerian dictatorship of 1930s Germany. And in that comparison, the multitudes of German citizens, who continued to turn a blind eye to the destruction of their country and the subjugation of certain types of citizens! Just like our present right wing American citizens who are also turning a blind eye, OR are actively promoting the destruction of the United States of America and the democracy fostered by the founding citizens at our earliest beginnings. The movement of the Republican Party since the end of the Eisenhower administration has been enhanced by the likes of several of the follow-on Republican presidents who allowed, encouraged and enacted the rise of the current Republican Fascist Cult. One of the key decisions by a president to foster this current right wing environment, was Ronald Reagan who gutted the Fairness Doctrine. This action led to the rabid rabble rousing, lying propaganda spewing likes of Rush Limbaugh, Fox News Channel, NewsMax, and the rest of those propaganda mills. See, Donald Trump, as vile a human as he is, was simply the personification of the destruction of the Party by the right wing Christo-Fascist individuals who preached the violence, and ant-democracy actions evolving into the current political abomination.

Can we survive the growing trend toward a ChristoFascist autocratic regimes? Yes, we can! We are stronger than this, folks. We have had tens of thousands of our young men and women who stood up and suffered injury and death, fighting against the Fascist Regimes in the 40s and to defend the American way of life. We have also seen countless millions who have stood strong with political actions and voting to defend the U.S. citizens for the long life of our American individual rights and our society based on the ideals of democracy. We, the People, will hopefully continue to act for our protection from the fascist, theocratic horrors that the right wing Republicans would have us be exposed to. All at the behest of the uber-wealthy and the mega corporate titans.

We Are Better Than This, People. Stop with the head in the sand crap, get off your couch, and stand up for America, for democracy, for individual freedom from the theocratic fascist dictatorships the Republicans and the wealthy want to impose on our country.

Otherwise, we will see a rise of a Fifth Reich in our nation, and there will be no Allied Forces around to save us from our stupidity!

A lot of folks today have no recollection of the former Republican Senator from Wisconsin who caused such a horrific period of political bomb throwing, reputation destruction and public Congressional trials with no evidence. That person was Senator Joseph P. “Tail gunner” McCarthy, a Republican politician from Wisconsin in the late 40s and early 50s. His dishonorable actions during a period of communist baiting, of assaults on our judicial system of innocent until proven guilty, attacking the federal government agencies and their staff, and destroying the reputations and careers of many in the entertainment industry/everyday life. During this period, McCarthy’s vicious attacks and whose Senatorial committee actions created in 1950, a political slur called McCarthyism to describe a political assault with no validity other than demagoguery, reputation destruction, putting labels of communist, character assault, and vicious mudslinging. Today, the term is used more broadly to mean overarching demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.

That McCarthy was a Republican Senator should surprise no one, considering the position and actions of today’s Congressional Republican Senators and House Representatives. But at least back then we had people in Congress and in public life who has a set of cajones or backbone who finally stood up to this scumbag and brought the public character assaults and false accusations to an end.

One of the Republican Congressional politicians who most resemble McCarthy is the current House Judiciary Chair, Jim Jordan of Ohio. However there are several others who represent the most vile attributes of that Wisconsin Senator of the 1950’s show trials of men and women whose only crime was to be in the gun sites of old Joe “Tail Gunner” McCarthy. BTW the Tail Gunner nickname was an actual slurring slam against McCarthy’s lies regarding his WWII activities, claiming to be in combat when that was a lie, he never saw combat during his time in the military.

And just like McCarthy, the Republican Jim Jordan continues his verbal false accusations against federal officials, entire federal departments and even extending to private citizens who have never been involved in a government role. Congress is not supposed to pile on with vile and vicious hearings toward private citizens, but just like McCarthy, Jordan and his Republican peer Chairpersons, have no qualms with using the power of the Congress to attack, demean, and cast aspersions against citizens who have no involvement with government, at any level. Jordan is not the only Republican in a senior committee chair role acting like McCarthy, that position also includes James Comer, of Kentucky, who pretends to have viable whistleblower witnesses who have factual evidence of illegal activity and these witnesses will prove the allegations being made by these Republican bomb throwers. Although he was recently forced to concede that much of his muckraking “evidence” was not available. Unfortunately for these two McCarthy-active Congressional Representatives their witnesses are either proven to be liars, disgruntled ex employees, or missing and cannot be found. Just like McCarthy, a lack of viable and provable evidence from this pair is no hindrance to their expansive pack of rabble rousing lies, false accusations, and a total waste of millions of taxpayer dollars.

As with the Republican’s earlier “hearings” regarding the Benghazi tragedy, where millions of dollars were wasted attempting to paint a Democratic Party political candidate with their false accusations, Jordan and Comer waste more millions of taxpayer dollars attacking the federal government, federal and other governmental employees, and besmirching civilian individuals. As it turned out, Trey Gowdy was eventually replaced by a different Republican Congressional Representative and has essentially disappeared from the public political stage, although he was hired to be a presenter on “Fox News Channel”.

Would it be that we could do the same with Comer and Jordan.

Also like McCarthy, these to rabble rousing Congressmen have put forth no viable legislation during their careers in the House and simply stand as road blocks, agitators, and back bench bomb throwers. The people who elected these two should be better represented and should at the next election promote a better, more honorable person to represent their districts. However, I doubt that those voters will make a change, most of this group of political hacks are pretty darn safe, because too many Republican and right wing voters are only interested in how much chaos their reps can create in Washington, They don’t seem to give a tinker’s damn about viable legislation, you know, that type of legislation that Congress is supposed to bring forth for the benefit of country and citizenry. Alas, the GOP no longer cares for this and frankly they are nothing like the Republican Party that seemed to wither away following Eisenhower’s second term.

As horribly vicious and integrity challenged these two Congressional Republicans are, there are many others within the Republican Caucus who are just as dishonorable, rabble rousing, lying, and anti-democracy acting and some are even far worse. This does not excuse the Senate Republicans as well. Integrity and honor were the strong suit of what our US Senate was supposed to be composed of across the board. Sadly, that is not the case and it only seems to get worse with each election cycle. Mitch McConnell whines about the Democratic speeches regarding adding four new Justices to the Supreme Court to mitigate the ChristoFascist Packing by the Republicans for the four Justices added under the Trump Administration. Two of the Justices were installed through totally phony and dishonorable actions by Senator McConnell when he was the Senate Leader in the Republican Majority during Trump’s debacle of a presidency.

Conservatism used to mean something real, viable and country focused rather than party or ideologically. Rather than seek to identify, collaborate and establish beneficial legislation, the GOP has done simply nothing of worth in the past few decades. Frankly, the last true beneficial legislation emanating from the GOP was the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System.

Seems that over the past couple of decades, the Grand Old Party has ceased to exist and a new American style of Fascism has evolved. This new brand is exemplified by men and women of low integrity and lacking character, who are currently in powerful positions and their assaults on our societal standards is directed at eliminating our democracy. Backed up with this new ChristoFascist Supreme Court, with Justices who are essentially totally lacking in honor were inserted on this highest court in our land by dishonorable means. So, now this new Republican organization is even more frightening, since it is basically moving toward a ChristoFascist style of ideological democracy destructive brand of fascism with in a partnership with certain evangelical religious groups. Men and women currently occupying these important political roles, are moving our nation away from the secular governance our founding fathers envisioned and fought for, toward a more authoritarian, evangelical Christian, white supremacy, fascist form of repression.

Evidencing the rise of religious power> simply look at the Supreme Courts decisions allowing more religious insertion in public life and government. And the recent actions in Oklahoma where a Catholic organization is close to having taxpayer money of 10s of millions of dollars directed at a Catholic run religious CHARTER school. There is a huge outcry and a lawsuit pending to stop this violation of our Constitution, but we see the same type of ChristoFascist ideology in place with the educational board charged with legal establishment of charter schools. More and more we see the religious encroachment into our governmental establishments, from local through Federal. And we are supposed to depend on men like Jordan and Comer along with knuckle draggers like Taylor-Green, Boebert, Gaetz, and idiots like the Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville, whose vile actions are holding up hundreds of military leadership promotions.

Dear God, save us from these fascist leaning, pseudo-Christian political hacks, our nation is in danger of losing our very foundation of individual freedom, upon which our forefathers established this United States of America.

I beg our more moderate and liberal citizens to be far more observant of the actions of these politicians and come election days, put them to the curb and install more honorable, dedicated public servants who actually give a shit about our national societal democracy.
