Congressman Patrick McHenry, the man who is reluctantly interim Speaker of the House, slammed down the gavel with unnecessary force when he declared the chamber in recess. He’s angry because his friend, Kevin McCarthy, was ousted by a small group of conservative Representatives and the entire Democrat caucus.
As Collin Rugg from Trending Politics noted, this is an unusual outburst from McHenry:
Interim Speaker Patrick McHenry aggressively slams the gavel as he and 200+ other Republicans fume over Kevin McCarthy’s ousting.
Where was this anger as millions of migrants poured over the southern border?
Where was this anger as US debt rises over $33T?
Where was this anger when the FBI rounded up Trump supporters and threw them in prison?
Where is this anger as the “justice” system tries to take out Biden’s top opponent in 2024?
They sit back and do nothing as our country burns but fume when their buddy loses his Speaker role.

Patrick McHenry and the rest of the UniParty Swamp majority within the Republican caucus are angrier about Kevin McCarthy getting ousted than tens of millions of Americans being crushed by manufactured inflation.
They’re angrier about their buddy being demoted than the ongoing lies surrounding Covid-19, lockdowns, or the vaccines.
They’re angrier about McCarthy getting called out for breaking his promises than for Joe Biden not getting called out for selling influence to foreign nations.
They’re angrier with Matt Gaetz than with Alejandro Mayorkas, Christopher Wray, Antony Blinken, or Pete Buttigieg.
They’re angrier about the caucus being divided than they are about the people of East Palestine suffering because they have failed to act on their behalf.
They’re angrier that Gaetz used Democrats to remove a RINO than they were about that RINO using Democrats to pass his continuing resolution.
Most of all, they’re angrier about McCarthy being held accountable than they are about the entirety of the Biden-Harris regime NOT being held accountable.
Imagine if Patrick McHenry’s passion for serving the people he represents came close to matching his passion for protecting the Swamp’s status quo. We might actually see some good coming out of DC in that unlikely scenario.
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,
