Massie & MTG issue ultimatum to Rep. Mike Johnson: Resign or face motion to vacate speakership!
Majorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to vacate against Speaker Mike Johnson last month, and Thomas Massie is now joining her in her efforts to oust the speaker.
When asked by reporters whether Massie wanted Johnson to resign, he responded with a resounding “yes.”
“Yes, yeah, I asked him to resign,” Massie replied, adding that “the motion will get called” and “he’s going to lose more votes than Kevin McCarthy.”
In Johnson’s response, he claimed that the motion to vacate is “absurd” and “is not helpful to the country.”
Sara Gonzales hopes he does get ousted.
“Is it helpful that Speaker Johnson decided to bring four foreign aid and National Security bills to the floor that would fund Ukraine, Israel, Indopacific, and not include border security measures? Is that helpful for the American people?” Gonzales asks.
Eric July is in full agreement, noting that “if you are on the opposite side of Massie on anything, you are taking the wrong position.”
While July believes that representatives like Massie, Rand Paul, and Ron Paul have historically backed the real interests of the American people — there is yet to be a speaker who represents them as well.
“There’s a time to have a vote for a new speaker, or what have you, and then you get these milquetoast guys that are supposedly representing the party. I can’t quite wrap my head around that,” July says.

Media tries to shame MTG for calling eclipse a sign from God, stays mum about Dem's belief that moon is 'mostly ... gases'
Many pundits and mainstream news outlets immediately jeered at Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) for calling Monday's total solar eclipse and other recent phenomena "strong signs" from God, but some of these same pundits and outlets stayed noticeably quiet about strange, eclipse-related comments from one of MTG's Democrat House colleagues.
On Monday, Greene, a professed Christian, wrote on social media that the eclipse many were scrambling to see was a message from God about their sinful behavior. "God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens," Greene wrote along with a prayer emoji.

Greene is hardly the only Christian who noticed a spiritual component to the eclipse. "Eclipses flat out PROVE the existence of God," tweeted author and occasional Blaze News contributor Eric Metaxas. "The evidence is absolutely ASTONISHING!"
"If you are worshipping the eclipse as a celebration of 'Mother Nature' or 'science,' you’re missing the point. It’s a God thing," said Red State columnist Buzz Patterson.
In other words, Greene's comments were well in keeping with mainstream Christian conservative discourse. But that fact did not stop many from making fun of her anyway:
- "Although God was unavailable for comment (probably because he’s focused on picking winners for the NCAA Tournament), folks on social media offered their own takes on Greene’s tweet," joked a HuffPost piece on the story.
- "Marjorie Taylor Greene's looking to the heavens for an omen ... and, it seems she's finding them in every natural phenomenon," quipped TMZ.
- "An eclipse is not a surprise natural disaster like an earthquake. Eclipses can be calculated many centuries in advance," tweeted controversial pollster Frank Luntz, even though MTG never stated or implied that eclipses were a "surprise."
- "Fun fact. There are about 3 solar eclipses worldwide per year, and many earthquakes. Both events were predetermined at the creation of the universe," said Adam Kinzinger. "The solar eclipse is not a sign. It’s just a really cool show, if the clouds cooperate[.]This lady is in congress?"

Greene Files Motion To Oust Speaker Johnson After House Passes Mega Spending Bill

The one and only “pimp on a blimp,” Alex Stein, launched the pilot episode of his show “Prime Time with Alex Stein” last week on BlazeTV, with an interview of rabble-rousing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The pair briefly unpacked some of the issues Rep. Greene has been fighting for, such as the border, the fentanyl crisis, security concerns with China, and the viral clip of the House hearing in which Greene grilled former Twitter executives.
“You were the real pimp on a blimp last night,” Stein said of Greene.
In response to her confrontation of the Twitter executives, Greene said, “That felt so good. You have no idea.”
“When it comes to laptops, I would like to know what’s on [Yoel Roth’s] laptop, and if his laptop is every bit as disgusting as Hunter Biden’s,” Greene said of the former Twitter employee.
Stein gave his full support to Rep. Greene’s endeavors, assuring her that her performance far exceeds that of her counterpart, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who covered for “the Biden crime family” and the Hunter Biden laptop story.
After being removed from Twitter during an election year, Greene has a bone to pick with the tech giant for its blatant malpractice in election interference. Stein noted that conservatives are often censored on social media when they begin to become effective on the platforms.
“When you actually are getting effective, you get censored, so, in your opinion, what’s your best advice to avoid the censorship?” Stein asked.
“Well, I think we have to never be silent again,” Greene said. “The real problem is […] political correctness was taught to Americans, and we were taught to never argue about politics. Don’t argue about religion. But that’s why we are where we are today.
“I think it’s time for Americans to rip the duct tape off their mouth that has been put there by political correctness, and it’s time to stand up and never be silent,” Greene concluded.
In true “Prime Time 99” form, Stein ended his interview with a video of his producer serenading Rep. Greene at an event, asking her to have his baby.
“Thank you for fighting, standing up for your constituents, and standing up for the America,” said Alex on a more serious note.

Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces bill against 'gender-affirming care' for children, would make puberty blockers and gender-changing surgery for minors a felony
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will introduce a new bill that would criminalize puberty blockers and gender-changing surgery on children. While appearing on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Thursday, Greene presented the Protect Children's Innocence Act which aims to protect minors from medical treatments or surgeries that may have long-lasting implications.
Greene pushed back against the term "gender-affirming care," and declared it to be "child abuse" and "genital mutilation."
"This practice should never happen. It's so disgusting and appalling," Greene said of the so-called gender-affirming care. "And it's an embarrassment to our country."
She believes that the Republican Party is only worthy of votes from Americans if they are "willing to stand up and stop horrific things, like child abuse and like so-called gender-affirming care."
Greene said gender-affirming care is "puberty blockers that cause chemical castration, teenage girls actually having their breasts chopped off, teenage boys being castrated."
"This needs to be illegal, and I'm introducing a bill called Protect Children's Innocence Act, and it would create a law that would cause it to be a Class C felony for any person involved in so-called gender-affirming care," Greene declared.
Punishment for a Class C felony is up to 25 years in prison and as much as a $250,000 fine.
"That means genital mutilation surgery," she explained. "That means hormones that mean puberty blockers, anything involving any youth under the age of 18. Because these kids are too young to make these awful decisions that will affect them and will be permanent for the rest of their lives."
Fox News host Tucker Carlson chimed in, "You cut the breasts off a little girl you should go to prison. Of course, you perform a medically unnecessary hysterectomy on a little girl, you should be in prison."
Greene said this is "a line in the sand" and a list is being kept on which politicians don't support banning medically-induced transgender transformation for children.
"If we cannot protect children from this horrific child abuse and create this to be a felony because this practice has to end," the congresswoman stated. "It's the kind of things nightmares are made of. And these are monsters under kids' beds that are doing these horrific things to them."
Carlson proclaimed, "You can't sexually mutilate children. Period."
"Under my Protect Children’s Innocence Act, anyone involved in acts of physical mutilation to minors under 18 will be guilty of a felony and can go to jail," Greene wrote on Twitter. "These procedures for profit permanently disfigure kids before they even know what they want to do when they grow up."
By Friday morning, Greene announced that the Protect Children's Innocence Act had 10 supporters. The bill is co-sponsored by Republican Representatives Mary Miller (Ill.), Jeff Duncan (S.C.), Bob Good (Va.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Ralph Norman (S.C.), Tony Gonzalez (Texas), Burgess Owens (Utah), Claudia Tenney (N.Y.), Diana Harshbarger (Tenn.), and Andrew Clyde (Ga.).
Greene said if Republicans win back Congress, they also need to "clean out the corrupt FBI," defund exorbitant climate change initiatives launched by Democrats, and impeach Merrick Garland.
Last week, Greene filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. The Republican representative for Georgia claimed that Garland assisted in facilitating a "political persecution" of former President Donald Trump.
\u201cTomorrow, I will introduce the Protect Children\u2019s Innocence Act to criminalize the child abuse that many call \u201cgender-affirming care.\u201d\n\nMy legislation would immediately make it a felony to subject children to puberty blockers or horrific \u201csex change\u201d genital surgeries.\u201d— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1660870326
