After five days of a chaotic political stalemate, Republican Kevin McCarthy has been elected speaker of the US House of Representatives.
McCarthy’s bid was blocked by hardline Republican party members who repeatedly voted against him.
But after fifteen ballots he managed to capture the speaker’s gavel.
He did, however, have to make major concessions to the hardliners, revealing once again, a fractious Republican party.

Stop lie n you stink
GOD HELD THE CHAIR TO THIS DAY, THE 6TH DAY OF JANUARY, TO SPEAK TO KEVIN TO LEAN ON GOD FOR GOD’S OWN GLORY.
WITH GOD ON KEVIN’S SIDE & NOT LEANING ON TRUMP FOR NEGATIVE ADVICE, HE WILL BE AN EXCELLENT SPEAKER.
But this I will say if one man only becomes in power for his own gain that is not God’s will that is something else but if a man exercises power for the people and does it in the name of God it is not in vain. I just hope Kevin McCarthy will not allow another 7 trillion dollar bill to leave the country on this day. On this day they should be dedicating the taxes for a real infrastructure bill for the people first off let’s just start with the African American communities that are struggling come up with a program that will help them thrive also use the taxes for the streets roadways and buildings. Also if programs are struggling to have funds for people who struggle to have a home those taxes could be used for that purpose. A true infrastructure is at home not abroad. One thing I know about Jesus is he was not a fan of taxes or taxation give the Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give God what belongs to God. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker you need to come correct. The people deserve it they don’t deserve another Pelosi just disguised as a Republican. Are Liberties and freedoms have been tampered with long enough. We the people have spoken God bless you all and God bless America
Time would tell …
He will be a clown in a gridlocked impotent house.
I love the wayhe drum that wood axe
Ew too eager
Desperate to pay back
Living on borrowed time.

Now let’s hope finally Well finally get their heads out of their butts and start doing something for the people enough of this spending that’s going overseas. We pay taxes all kinds of taxes we pay taxes out of our paychecks we pay taxes through our state. Taxes are always taken out of our groceries and everything else there is no reason no reason at all that Congress cannot pass a bill. That will direct the people’s taxes back to the States where it should be used for the schools the roads for infrastructure a true infrastructure bill is a bill that uses the people’s taxes for only the people of the United States infrastructure inside of the country not outside. We cannot afford another 1.7 trillion dollar bill that will leave the country. We cannot afford for illegals to come over here and make our money and take it back to their country because that’s what’s happening. My wife his friends with a Latina woman who lived here in America illegally got a job here made a bunch of money then took it back to Mexico because if they take our money to their country they will get more of their money from Mexico. So where is the Justice in that why does our tax dollars always got to leave or are dollars period something seriously needs to be done stop playing around Congress we do have a constitution we can exercise a right. When a government Becomes destructful of Liberty piece of freedom and does not obeyed by the Constitutional law it is up to the people to either establish a new government or abolish it completely. This Constitutional right does exist. I say if Congress don’t start stepping up we as people need to step up and show up in Washington not with violence because that’s what they expect. We need to use our voices like our ancestors did
trolls elected by morons who just need drama, disgusting
wtf cares. close the border. stop printing money and get off the WOKE train
Just in Circus
He basically the weakest house speaker in modern tine
The single member to motion to vacate has been in effect since the beginning.
Pelosi ended it and seized power she wasn’t supposed to have.
This is only a return to normalcy
They caved In to get the voting over with, just so they can kick him out later.
And i promise we will accomplish nothing just like all previous congresses. Rest assured i will maintain the same aristocratic pompous arrogant elitist attitude. We will all still belly up to the boddle pig trough. And lastly ignore the peasants who sent us here to enjoy this life of luxury at their expense.
The backbone is gone and running on artificial intelligence.
Clown show
3(×5)th time’s the charm?
Nice democracy for all to see….
First he declares himself rightfull winner….then looses 14 ballots …then almost punches up an opponent …then aaaaah he has been ” elected” !!!!on the 15th go ….

McCarthy becomes US House speaker, but with diminished power
The 57-year-old representative’s elevation comes after making major concessions to an ultraconservative bloc of the party.
What a bunch of BC… All Governments are corrupt now and Do not Govern for the People.. or make our lives Better, Safer or Wealthier. Tax’s, A middle class that is gone. 70% of Americans making less then 35 000 and expecting us to dish out more and loose even more disposable income as the next generation comes in.. What a joke our Western Governments are for the People.
The self-willed man looks for a pretext to disassociate himself,
tries his best to break up.
So this is AMERICAN POLITICS . What happened to , PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY . But then $$$$$$$$$$$ TALK , WORDS MEAN LITTLE . . LAND OF THE WILD AND FREE , (for some )
Ok so we better hurry up and Get back to The Ice Cube’s Contract with Black America and The President Trump Platinum Plan including the Schools Choice vouchers now
