Get ready for a BIG fight tomorrow as Kevin McCarthy still trying to win over House Republicans to become Speaker
JAN. 2, 2023 9:42 AM BY THE RIGHT SCOOP
Kevin McCarthy is still struggling to win over five House Republicans in his bid to become Speaker of the House on January 3rd.
Yesterday he met with these Republicans and offered a rule change to make it easier to force a vote to fire him if he doesn’t do a good job.
Here’s more from Fox News:
--- Quote ---Prospective House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is still tussling with some members of his party who are concerned electing him to be speaker would be a “continuation of past and ongoing Republican failures.”
Last week, the California Republican floated a congressional rule change that would make it easier to remove a House speaker in exchange for his rise to the post, a key demand from powerful GOP opponents.
Under current rules, which were imposed under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, only a member of the House leadership can offer a motion to vacate, while the new proposal would allow any member of the House to force a vote to remove the speaker, at any time.
On Sunday afternoon, McCarthy met with GOP members to try and rally support for his speakership vote on Jan. 3, when the new Congress takes office. The embattled Republican leader conceded rank-and-file members will be allowed to call for the speaker’s removal, though he wasn’t clear about how many members would need to sign on to the motion, according to reports.
The meeting came after his letter on New Year’s Eve, titled “Restoring the People’s House and Ending Business as Usual,” which was his admission of the deep dysfunction of the House of Representatives and his pitch to make it right.

GOP lawmaker teases ‘true’ conservative alternative to McCarthy ahead of Speaker vote
BY STEPHEN NEUKAM - 01/02/23 10:09 AM ET
Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) predicted on Monday that a “true” conservative would emerge to challenge House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in his quest to become Speaker and doubled down on a promise to vote against McCarthy one day ahead of the leadership election.
“I think you’ll see on the second ballot an increasing number of members vote for a true candidate who can represent the conservative center of the conference, can motivate the base,” Good said on Fox News.
McCarthy, who launched an unsuccessful bid for Speaker in 2015, has been busy trying to nail down the 218 votes necessary for victory. But dissent from some on his right has taken his campaign for the position down to the wire.

Even Nostradamus predicts his Election. :smokin:
What does 2023 hold for us? Well, let’s just hope Nostradamus’ predictions were wrong
Updated: Jan. 01, 2023, 5:10 p.m.|Published: Dec. 31, 2022, 2:21 p.m.
It looks like we have made it to 2023, and there’s no doubt that just about everyone is counting on this year being better than the past couple.
After several years of pandemic and just about everything else bad, it just feels like we are due for a good year.
Right?
Well, not according to Nostradamus. In fact, the ancient astrologer, whom History calls history’s “most famous seer,” apparently had some pretty troublesome predictions for the year ahead. And History says tucked in the quatrains of the astrologer is a line that reads “seven months great war, people dead through evil.”
That would make 2023 pretty darned terrible.
He also has a prediction in there — “the light of Mars will go out”— that reads as though, perhaps, our quest to get to Mars will end, the site says.
It has to get better, right?
Nope.
