Good morning, kids. In the aftermath of the failure to impeach DHS apparatchik Alejandro Mayorkas for his role in allowing the 8 million and counting invasion of unknown, unvetted third world foreigners, ex-GOP Congressman George Santos took to Twitter/X with a three-word Tweet under an image of the House electronic vote scoreboard.

BOOM.

An ongoing problem for the Republicans dating back to the days of black and white television is that the power players in the party have never had a grasp on the importance of messaging and optics. As Ed mentioned, the Mayorkas vote wasn't really about impeachment, it was about sending a message to the voters. 
Reps. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), Ken Buck (R-Colo.), and Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) are all too stupid to understand that. (Utah Rep. Blake Moore voted no as a procedural move that would allow House Republicans to bring the resolution back to the floor.)
All three "Blah, blah, blahed" all over themselves to explain why they voted no. None of their excuses are valid because there was no reason whatsoever for a Republican to vote against impeaching Mayorkas. None. Zero. Nada. Not a thing. 

Former House GOP ne'er-do-well George Santos couldn't wait to troll the failure of his one-time colleagues:

Why yes, George, I do miss you. 

While the Democrats are focused squarely on assaulting our freedoms and shredding the Constitution, I don't really care whether any of the Republicans in Congress are good people or not, just as long as they're consistently voting against tyranny. Something I've often said about presidential candidates applies in this case as well: I don't need a prom date, I need a fighter. 

Democrats in Congress are harboring raging anti-Semites, terrorist sympathizers, and commies; George Santos is practically an archangel compared to them. 

This isn't really about George Santos, though. It's about the fact that when things count the most, Republicans reflexively begin forming a circular firing squad and using "principles" as a justification for it.

It's not about "principles" or stupidity or anything like that. It's about collusion with the Democrat-Left for both the chance to wear the dubious title of "Elitist 2nd Class" and more crucially to take a payoff that helps the Left continue to destroy the republic and the citizenry. Yet aside from that last paragraph Stephen Kruiser is dead on target with this and has phrased it perfectly.

More than merely fighters, we need fighters who understand who and what they are fighting for. The GOP as it is constituted today is fighting for the right to make a buck off the destruction of this country. Sadly, this attitude goes back over 70 years to President Eisenhower. During a time of unprecedented postwar prosperity, along with his near deification as a war hero, he had the political wind at his back to at least make a concerted effort to roll back some or even most of the disastrous encroachments on our liberty of FDR's New Deal.

Of course, in his farewell speech that warned of a "military industrial complex," perhaps he understood what it would have meant to oppose them. Because what he labeled the military industrial complex is what we now know today to be "The Deep State."

Since then, the bureaucracy has only metastasized in scope, power and influence by leaps and bounds with LBJ's Great Society capped off by the seizure of one sixth of our economy, the healthcare/insurance sector via Obama's Hope and Change. It should be noted that as bad as Democrat administrations have been in utilizing the Deep State to erode our freedoms, the worst offenders of all were Republicans Richard Nixon who gave us the EPA and OSHA, and George W. Bush with the DHS.

That would be the same Department of Homeland Security which Alejandro Mayorkas remains at the top as Reichsminister, and who oversees the Obama/Biden operation that has erased our borders and threatens to erase our national identity. Homeland Security, indeed.

In a strange way, I'm kind of disappointed that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and his handlers are waiting until after the election to go down to Texas to likely arrest Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton, and perhaps revoke Texas' statehood over (don't vomit) insurrection.

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that: it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” — Rahm Emanuel, Obama White House chief of staff

Ah, from the lips of the take-no-prisoners “Rahmbo” (who once reportedly delivered a dead fish to a tardy pollster) to the ears of 25 U.S. governors. 

That’s 25, count ‘em, state bosses – one complete half. Who recently joined together in a declaring their defiance of the Feds over the current usurper administration’s “All-ee, all-ee in free” approach to the southern border. Exacerbated by the actions of the arrogant Bidenites in “attack(ing) and su(ing) Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country.”

The result of which was the Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 punt of that suit, delivering to the administration the snippers to remove razor wire the Lone Star Staters had positioned on the boundary in a desperate attempt to stem the flow of migrants.

Hmmm. A little over three years ago, this commentator noted that a “spurned lawsuit,” initiated by none other than Texas and bringing together 18 states to allege a stolen presidency, provided “a potential stepping stone” from which “it’s only a hop, skip and a jump to the Declaration of Dissolution previously suggested in this space.”

It’s not just the number of nose-thumbing states that is elevated this time around. It’s the rhetoric – and potentially Rahmbo-esque implications. “Republican Governors Band Together” read the headline on the guvs’ communique. You mean, like “Join or Die?”

And more consequential, this central assertion: “The Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states” (emphasis added). . .

. . . The governors “stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border.”  “Stand in solidarity?” Them’s “compact” words (and we don’t mean small). And words aren’t the only way Republican governors are “hanging together” to stick it to Washington. Red-state commanders in chief have been dispatching troops and troopers to the border for many moons. Now, recent presidential-race-departee Ron DeSantis is rushing 1,000 “reinforcements” westward from the Sunshine State. . .

. . . Which brings us back to the Machiavellian counsel of Mr. Emanuel, whose somewhat-more-than-cheeky desk nameplate read “Undersecretary of Go F— Yourself.” If one were to engage in a word association exercise anywhere in America today, who wouldn’t respond to the term “border” with “crisis,” if not “serious crisis?” (As the fictional Col. Nathan Jessup might have put it, “Is there another kind?” . . .

. . . Let’s see. We have a “serious” fiscal, social and national security catastrophe. The fact that untrammeled immigration has risen to become Americans’ number one concern. And the reality that 50% of the nation’s governors have seized the occasion to vault up right up to the line of voiding and replacing America’s “constitutional compact” . . .

. . . Emanuel’s Prairie State predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, averred that the nation could not “endure permanently half slave and half free.” Today’s America cannot endure with its venal, reality-rejecting, wealth-sucking woke half permanently dictating to and impermissibly burdening, persecuting and outright endangering the sound, stable and productive cohort. 

The opportunity now presents itself for the leaders representing the latter half to go full Rahmbo before it’s too late to save any of us. Take the logical next step: declare not just the “constitutional compact,” but the union dissolved.

Again, BOOM.

Trump or no Trump, elections rigged or otherwise are not going to mend both the divide between Americans and anti-amerikkans nor the now virtually impossible to dismantle Deep State bureaucracy that wields the actual power via regulations that almost never are reversed in an increasingly corrupt judiciary that acts as their rubber stamp.

Do not misconstrue my sentiments as a call of violence. What is painfully obvious is that we are now in the latter part of the phrase of "What cannot go on will not go on."

For sure it won't. How the "will not go on" plays out is anyone's guess.
