(Independent Sentinel)—Emerald Robinson believes, “The early retirements of Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher are part of a scheme by the Uniparty cabal to stop Trump from winning the 2024 election. How? They want to flip the House blue in time to nullify the electoral vote via the 14th Amendment.”
Others say it’s to allow the deep state to take over. It could be both.
Reporter Simon Ateba agrees with Emerald Robinson. He explains on X how this could keep Donald Trump from the presidency:
“You might have heard that the Republicans are close to losing their lead in the House. This worry gets bigger with news that Congressman Mike Gallagher is stepping down on April 19. After he leaves, Republicans will barely have more members than Democrats. Let’s explain why this is important with some numbers.
- There are 435 seats in the House of Representatives.
- A party needs at least 218 members to control the House.
- If there’s a tie, with each party having 217 members, and one person is independent (not in a big party), that independent person has a lot of power. So, what’s the situation in the House now?
- Republicans currently have 219 seats.
- Democrats have 213 seats.
- When Ken Buck, a Republican, leaves his job on Friday, Republicans will have 218 members. After Gallagher leaves, they will have 217.
- There’s going to be an election to fill a Democrat’s empty seat on April 30. This will likely add another Democrat to the House.
- By the end of April, Republicans will have 217 members, and Democrats will have 214.
- It seems like Republicans have a slight edge with three more members than Democrats. But, 217 plus 214 is 431, not the total 435.
- This means about 217 votes are needed to get things done, showing how important it is for all Republicans to stick together.
- Traditionally, a few Republicans don’t support their own party’s plans, which is a problem.
- The bad news for Republicans is that Gallagher is leaving when it’s too late to have a quick vote to replace him. This means his seat will be empty, a loss for Republicans. According to Wisconsin law, if he resigns before the second Tuesday in April, a special election would be held to replace him and bring in another Republican from the Red District. If he resigns as planned, his seat will remain vacant until after the November elections.
- The good news is that there will be three special elections in May and June to fill some empty Republican seats, which might help them a bit.
- But this help is only until June. If Republicans don’t stay united and even one or two members break away, Democrats could take over the House and pass a resolution barring Trump from the 2024 presidential election, determining that he is an insurrectionist. The resolution will pass in the Senate, where Democrats have a slim majority of 51-49.
Whatever it is, it’s not good. They are leaving the House with a majority of one.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to expel Rep. Gallagher so he can be replaced immediately. He’s resigning before his term ends and when he can’t be replaced until the election – April 19, leaving the majority in danger. She said every Republican leaving now is putting the majority in danger.
They should expel Gallagher so his constituency can vote for someone to take the seat quickly. She said his departure date is deliberate.
MTG wants Republican Mike Gallagher "expelled" from Congress after he announced he will resign early:

A lot of people agree with MTG.
I'm guessing that Mike Gallagher is being paid handsomely by the Deep State Elites to hold off on leaving congress until April 19. This prevents the GOP from filling his seat until after November.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
