Who Was There During the Coup in Congress in the 1990's

Senator Lindsey Graham was.
And the fine Senator from South Carolina went On the Record the other night, reminding people of what it was like to work with Newt Gingrich in those days.

The Senator also openly admitted that they had been to hard on Gingrich back then, because it was a difficult achievement to fight the good fight, as Newt did, and come out with results.

So when you hear those referring to the days of which Newt was House Speaker as leaving in disgrace, or how he is still bitterly despised by some in the GOP, don't buy in to it that they all are.

Passing of the Gavel

Today marked the start of the 112th US Congress.
And with it, some changes. I think for the better.
New House Speaker John Boehner, the 61st speaker of the House, took the Speakers Gavel from the notorious Nancy Pelosi and got down to business.

 

Like passing a new House rule package. 
The vote 240 Yea, 191 Nay
And it quickly trouncing Pay-Go which had a loop hole to allow new spending to be offset with tax hikes and replaced with Cut-Go that will require all new spending bills to be offset with other cuts in the budget.


Other new rules that were establish, with a new Constitutional focused House of Representatives, that bills would required be available to all Americans and members of congress for 72 hours before being voted on, require specific pre- and post-committee actions and require constitutional authority for any legislation introduced.


So, an end of a nightmare of an era comes to a close.

Something new for you.

Lies With the Pelosi Sinking Ship

She had to have bonged one too many bowls in her life.

Speaker Pelosi told Diane Sawyer she had “No regrets.” The failed Speaker also said she cut the deficit and created jobs.
Ladies and Gentleman, not sure if you were aware of this, but we have had a delusional, brain dead shyster as Speaker of the House for 4 years.
