Live from the Heart of America—I’m Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here
ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—please my friends REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show—
Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—
Number One— The Batwoman of Wuhan is warning another Corona-Virus outbreak is highly likely—and the ominous warning should come as no surprise—with so many in government worldwide pushing for Covid 2.0—
Number Two— It may be the biggest lie of the year—Squad member Democrat Jamaal Bowman claims he pulled the fire alarm—not understanding that would cause a fire alarm in a Congressional building—It doesn’t pass any stink test—BUT what does these days—
Number Three— Well, to absolutely no one’s surprise the House and Senate worked into the weekend—into the wee hours to pass another terrible stop gap spending bill that continues to bankrupt America—and mortgage the future of generations to come—
$33 Trillion dollars in debt—and nobody seems to care—this by the way is exactly what I predicted would happen—no government shutdown—just another ‘I Owe U’ to our kids and grandkids—
And in the spotlight now is Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz—who is among a small group of Republicans that killed an earlier budget deal that would have cut spending by 8% for a month and added some security measures at the southern border—and now in the wake of the latest continuing resolution—he is calling for Keven McCarthy to be removed as Speaker of the House—BUT he may have over played his hand—
I believe Gaetz is right about having 12 separate appropriations bills to run the government—BUT he wasn’t going to force that to happen by the end of the fiscal year this year on September 30th—it seems to me, his constituents and the nation would have been better served going with the first bill instead of going with brinksmanship—that ultimately failed—
AND now Gaetz has become the target of angry Republicans that are tired of his grandstanding caterwauling approach to politics—and they are now preparing a motion to have him expelled from Congress altogether—
Of course, that has nothing to do with calling for McCarthy’s head—at least not directly—BUT it is directly tied to an ethics investigation into his behavior—and a pending report—
According to one report—there are Republicans behind the scenes that cannot stand him—and say he is a very smart guy that lacks all morals—
So, if the ethics report that is almost complete comes back with findings of guilt—he may well get booted from the chamber—
It takes a two thirds majority to do that—and with Gaetz not making many friends lately—that could certainly happen—
Again, I agree with his point on 12 bills—all to be debated separately BUT we are not there yet—
AND of course every Democrat would vote to expel him—as they are dealing with their own problems involving Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his pending bribery and corruption charges that were recently unveiled—
Ah yes Washington is such a nice place this time of the year—fall is in the air—and so is the smell of the rotting institutions and the very flawed people that work there—
Yes, the swamp is deep, dark and dank—BUT what did you expect from these people anyways? High standards? Please!
For the Republicans this is a tough spot—the House is down to 433 members currently and the GOP margin is razor thin—and George Santos is already facing federal charges for his charade to get elected in 2022—so if two more Republicans are removed—the margin is something like 2 votes—JUST 2—
On Sunday—McCarthy told ABC this is a personal matter with Gaetz targeting him—
And with the newly minted continuing resolution signed by Joe Biden over the weekend—Gaetz has plenty of ammunition BUT it looks like it might be his own political demise that comes from this current mess—and its not a good place for the Republican Party to be right now either—
The ethics probe that has Gaetz in peril began in 2021 and involves a host of issues including: campaign finance questions,
Taking bribes, using illicit drugs and accusations of hooking up with an underage girl—all of which he denies—
But like I said—he is not popular on the Hill right now—
Beyond that the New York freshmen—questioned the motives driving Gaetz right now—
However this is not an easy place for the progressives who are staring at the worst polling numbers for a sitting President in my lifetime—who are already paranoid that if Joe Biden is nominated to run for a second term next summer in Chicago—that they could get shelled in November—with Republicans hitting a Trifecta—winning the White House, taking back control of the Senate— and holding the House—
So now they are put in the position of coming to the rescue of Kevin McCarthy—
But let me make another early prediction—Kevin McCarthy survives—and holds on—barely—but holds on to the gavel—and it seems many of those on the left feel the same way—
