Kevin McCarthy and Powerball

 Republicans showed yesterday why they have a hard time defeating their Democrat brethren.  Republicans don't pack together like a herd of baying sheep.  They think freely and are not afraid of criticizing each other in stark contrast to Democrats who get in lockstep behind the groupthink agenda.

So it is that Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the Speakership of the House of Representatives.  So called Hard line Conservatives reacted to his compromise in letting the deficit to continue rising in order to keep the cash flowing into the Federal Government.

Lots of my friends did not trust McCarthy.... with his RINO habits and all.  The MOAM liked him... if only because he was such a sharp contrast to Nancy Pelosi who is as pure a power grasping pol as ever was.  

But, as my friend Kevin Geaney used to tell me as a young pup, "Politics is a Contact Sport".  And McCarthy just got sacked in the backfield.

In a lighter note, the PowerBall lottery is up to $1.2 Billion.  That would come in handy in financing this pathetic Blog.

I wish Rush was still alive to get his perspective. I do not like McCarthy and think he was a snake. He was rolled by the Dems all year. Not sure this move was best for the Country, probably should have waited till TRUMP gets elected to fix the House. Maybe Trump will be the Speaker? That would be must see TV! Anyway FJB
