How can we prove that the House of Representatives is dysfunctional? The Freedom Caucus is in control. In January of 2015, a small group of right-wing extremists calling themselves the Freedom Caucus took control of the House of Representatives. There are 435 members in the House, and right-wing extremists control the majority and have since January 3, 2022. Although the misnamed Freedom Caucus only has about 42 members, they are so extreme in support of their fascist leader, Donald Trump, cowardly moderate Republicans surrender to the demands of the few in a sad display of misguided loyalty. You know some of their names: Mike Johnson, Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, and until recently, Matt Gaetz. Knowing these woefully unqualified members of the House are part of this fascist-leaning group gives you some insight into the lack of integrity, morals, and true patriotism among these 40+ individuals. With the Freedom Caucus radicals in contro...

The House reneged on its past policies and decided not to hide the ethics investigation into Matt Gaetz actions, claiming “for reasons of national security.” He is far worse than anyone would have believed. His drug use is far more pervasive than we were led to believe. He spent huge amounts of money paying for sex. Not only did he frequently have sex with young, underage women, he transported some across state lines. One more thing which confirms the idiocy of the people of Florida. They elected and reelected the criminal. In January, with their “Don” returning to the White House, the Washington Mafia will be intact. Never, never forget that your “stable genius” president nominated a man without morals and principles for the office of our country’s top law enforcement officer. The big question is the same question real Americans ask about Donald Trump: why are they not in a federal holding cell awaiting trial for their many crimes. I know of cases where law enforcement uses the slimme...

Op-ed by James Turnage The Party of Lincoln began a slow death in 1981. When Ronald Reagan became our 40 th president, he met with party leaders and made a single demand: absolute loyalty. His policies and vision for our nation were to be supported unconditionally, Dissent would not be tolerated, and if this demand was not accepted, their future elections would not be supported by him and every other Republican. This policy continued throughout the administrations of George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. Insiders claim that most Republicans despise Trump, but fear losing votes from his cult. The sad truth is this oath to serve their party’s leader removes the First Amendment rights of all Republican politicians. America is all about the exchange of ideas and without free thought, and dissent, fascism has become an acceptable inclusion into the platform of today’s fake Republican Party. “Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agre...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It’s clear to me one of the worst members of congress, Matt Gaetz, wants t o be exactly like his Fu hrer, Donald Trump. He just needs to try harder.   Gaetz remains under investigation for sex with a minor, and sex trafficking across state lines. It appears that he will be facing additional charges soon .   Gaetz: “The House Ethics Committee has closed four probes into me, which emerged from lies intended solely to smear me,” he  tweeted . “They are doing this to avoid the obvious fact that every investigation into me ends the same way: my exoneration.”   Of course he is lying. The Ethics Committee has not closed any investigation and is beginning new ones.   WHAT HE ALREADY SHARES WITH TRUMP   Like his master, Gaetz is a sexual predator. He shares another quality with “Big Adolf,” he lies constantly. He is a member in “good standing” of the fascist Freedom Caucus, and hates the country he promised to serve, protect and def...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you know anything about politics in America, you know that the 42 men and women in the House calling themselves the “Freedom Caucus” support  policies which are so far to the right they mimic Adolf Hitler’s playbook in 1930’s Germany. Their loyalty is to their Fuhrer, Donald Trump, not to the people of the United States of America.   Of the 176 who call themselves “Republicans” most are members of another extremist group, calling themselves the “TEA Party.” Those remaining are a mix of moderates and confused right-wing politicians.    WHO REALLY BELIEVED THAT MIKE JOHNSON WOULD MAKE A GOOD SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE?   The Speaker of the House is Mike Johnson. Johnson is a Trump puppet and a member of the Freedom Caucus.    Recently Johnson pissed off his own Klan members by supporting aid for Ukraine. The Freedom Caucus is notoriously famous for their support of Trump’s puppeteer, Vladimir Putin. In an obvious move t...
