Carrol Quigley was an American historian born in 1910. He died in 1977. He once stated:
He was totally accurate in his prediction.
On Tuesday, The Blaze reported the following:
…McCarthy (House Speaker Kevin McCarthy) told reporters Monday night that he plans to pass a short-term continuing resolution in September to fund government until December. He also expressed his plan as if it were some sort of theocratical exercise in efficiency, not as if we are in the war to save our civilization and basic constitutional rights. There was no promise whatsoever to refuse a penny of funding for these harmful activities. In other words, the same song and dance we’ve seen for years.
That’s not what he was elected to do. As Americans suffer the ravages of inflation due to runaway government spending, the elected Republicans in the House need to move to curtail that spending. Where is the promise of the twelve appropriations bills that are supposed to be part of the budget process?
The article notes:
McCarthy already betrayed us with the debt ceiling deal, as we face the biggest debt bomb ever. That debt has increased by $1.2 trillion since his deal, the quickest in American history, and the Biden administration plans to service trillions more in debt in the coming months. Canceling the August recess to properly prosecute a budget fight is the only way to atone for that sin.
Some of us tried to warn about this after the midterms. It was precisely because of these moments why we wanted a better speaker. But Trump used his political clout to pressure the heroic members seeking change rather than supporting them. As such, he owns McCarthy. So why is Trump himself not warning McCarthy not to fund a penny of the DOJ come October 1 absent a provision defunding the prosecutions against him? Where is the sense of urgency? Clearly, we cannot wait until Jan. 2025.
If the Republicans keep acting like Democrats, there is no point in voting for Republicans.
