I remember last congress when 11 Republicans voted with the Democrats to kick me off committees.

I didn’t care about the democrat votes but the 11 republican votes stung.

Now my friend Matt Gaetz says he is going to make a motion to vacate our Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

And I saw in the news that other Republicans are now talking about expelling Matt Gaetz.

Here is how I see all of this.

As members of congress, we are each elected (hired) by the people of our districts to represent them and responsibly govern for the American people.

The electorate gave Republicans the majority this congress, which means we are in charge of responsibly making a budget and control where the American people’s hard earned tax dollars are spent and how.

But we only have 222 Republicans and it takes 218 to pass anything.

I can’t possibly explain to you how difficult it is to get 218 of us to agree on anything, I often compare it to that family argument of not being able to agree on where to eat dinner.

“I want this, no I want that, no I don’t want that..”

It never ends.

Here’s the bottom line.

Most people generally only care about 4 things.

Their kids (or pets)
Their bank accounts
Their jobs
And their weekends.

And when stupid politicians are screwing up anything to do with their 4 things, people get angry and rightfully so!

And right now, people are angry about a lot and I don’t blame them.

They are still angry at COVID shutdowns and mandates.

They’re suffering from Bidenomics that created crippling inflation and high interest rates.

They’re appalled at Democrat’s open border policies and the Biden Administration ceding our border control over to the Mexican cartels who are making billions from human trafficking and drug trafficking that is killing over 300 Americans daily.

They are terrified that the Washington war machine’s blood thirsty obsession of killing Russians is going to lead us into WWIII and they are fed up with billions of their own hard earned tax dollars going to Ukraine while Americans are suffering and have been enslaved into $33 Trillion in debt.

And all of these serious problems have been caused by stupid politicians in Washington and all of these serious problems are affecting the 4 main things people care about.

And most of all, people are tired of all the ridiculous drama while no one is solving the serious problems that are ripping our country apart at the seams.

I don’t blame people one bit for hating politicians and Washington DC.

And now while our federal government is once again floundering with less than 45 days left on another CR (borrowed money & borrowed time) and we still have to pass 8 more Appropriation bills, it’s going to be really hard to do that in normal times but now we’ve got to start the week off with a big family feud with a motion to vacate Kevin McCarthy and a movement to expel Matt Gaetz.

All of this has the Democrats, who America’s electorate fired last congress, giddy with opportunity to take full advantage of gleaning prizes for themselves in exchange for votes.

All of this now has the House of Representatives on the verge of chaos and will only leave our majority weakened and dangerously fractured.

But why are we here?

We are here because Congress operates on a calendar set up for producing annual failure.

With a September 30th fiscal year end, and a calendar that sends congress home all of August & half of September, it’s obvious why there’s usually an emergency CR to avoid a shutdown usually resulting in a Christmas omnibus which is really like a giant lump of coal in the American people’s stockings.

No wonder we’re $33T in debt.

Intentional systemic failure is something I have no respect for and refuse to be a part of.

This has to change.

What I see is a system of failure and a federal government that serves the world first and America last and my desire for wanting to fix it is why I ran for congress in the first place.
