BREAKING: Congressman Keith Self - who switched his vote at the last minute for Speaker Johnson - issues statement for why he did it.

"My sole focus was advancing the Trump agenda. To ensure this, I expressed concerns to Speaker Johnson about fiscal responsibility and holding the line on deficit spending—key priorities for my constituents."

"After receiving firm assurances from the Speaker, that Republicans in the House will have strong representation during the budget reconciliation process—a cornerstone of President Trump’s agenda—I changed my initial vote."

"I appreciate Speaker Johnson addressing these critical issues."

Never understood why people were messing with Mike, I'll bet he has the right credentials...

If you've followed a certain letter of the alphabet...

You're watching a movie.

I think that Trump & Co has everything laid out. Mike is doing what he is supposed to be doing.

Lots of opinions flying around. Some 'for' others 'agin'...

I just sit watching the traffic go past while enjoying the show.

Not to say I'm complacent. I'm not.

Waiting for the next shoe to drop - the 16th Amendment attempt to deny Trump's presidency based upon a phony court case....

Wondering how that will all pan out....

That’s the signal we’re getting from the bond market: The possibility that the fiscal time bomb of nonstop spending that Joe Biden and his minions have planted is ready to explode just in time for Trump to take office.

Most of the financial punditry is too obsessed with stock indexes to appreciate the bond market’s warning signs.

Stock prices have their place, of course.

When investors pile into stocks as they’ve been doing since Trump’s election — until recently, that is — it’s an indication that many are betting his policies of lower taxes and less regulation will lead to higher corporate earnings and GDP growth.

For my money, the bond markets provide a more accurate window into underlying fissures that could lead to severe fiscal distress in the future.

Gotta say, it was icing on the cake, getting to watch Kackles having to officially certify her own loss.

Loved every minute of 'em having to slowly read off the results.
