I think that's the overall consensus here; a lot of talk and very little action. That's one of the reasons I called it a 'performance'.
I've already pointed out the obviousness of him being 'establishment' personified, and personally I wasn't for him to be anywhere near a speakership position when I was vested in this right/left crap.
I like right and wrong better.
Imagine where we'd be right now if concessions were NOT made to representatives and caucuses that wanted to hunt down lawlessness and corruption. I mean as it stands, they're still gathering info and putting the pieces together. I enjoy the updates, but WHAT will be ultimately done in the end is anyone's guess. The corruption is so mainstream that getting away with it is just as common and expected.

YouTube removed the video! It was the ONLY clip I could find on YT of this part of the proceedings! LOL.

The censorship is REAL. I wonder what violation could have triggered the thought police on YouTube? Gee.....I wonder...🙄

McCarthy does speak like a preacher in the way he gets excited and calm in the same sentence. Sad to see the masks is still a thing with those in the background.
As for what he said, seams on point. The Democrats have opened the boarder while the average American is going to pay for it.
When looking back in history and what is going on, one thing that looks to have made America strong was that it did accept people from everywhere. It gave the nation a lot of ties and links to other parts of the world. Here in Australia we have had a lot of past immigration as well, lot of good things in it. Also some issues as well as it increases too much and can bring in regional, cultural and individual conflicts. Having the infrastructure in place makes a big difference.

This country was built on immigrants, it is what makes it great. If there were no immigrants, we would all be Native Americans.
The current immigrants from Central and South America work very hard, harder than any genuine Americans I have seen, and they do so for minimal pay.
In addition, for the Christians out there, Jesus and the Bible are clearly in favor of welcoming immigrants and treating them with respect. If you go against this principal, you are abandoning your faith.
However, I am interested in hearing your legitimate, fact-based concerns about the current immigration crisis.

Greetings fellow members!
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave a fiery speech on the house floor giving a scathing critique of everything currently flushing our country down the drain. His remarks and delivery are Oscar worthy, but is he right?
I'm done with political parties, and he even touched on that by saying, 'this isn't about political parties, this is about our country'.
I can agree with that.
This speech is immigration ladden but it says so much more about the dire state of our country.
I challenge anyone to take on any of his points that you AGREE is going great for the country and constructively describe how that's the case.
I want to know from those that oppose anything but their party line if this speech triggers your anger and why. I mean I get it, Republicans had the "Big Three" as well and took a nap on just about everything, but this is madness, or is it not, and again why?
