GOP House Whip Tom Emmer has been designated by his conference as their Speaker of the House. For those who are unfamiliar with Emmer, he is an anti-Trump, UniParty Swamp RINO who makes Kevin McCarthy look like a constitutional conservative.
There have been many theories floated about why he’s so popular among House Republicans. Let’s look at those theories, then I’ll explain the real reason he’s being thrusted upon America to become second in line for the presidency.
Many believe this is just another attack by the McCarthy-lovers to punish Congressman Matt Gaetz. It’s as if they’re saying, “If you thought you didn’t like McCarthy, just wait until we give the gavel to a raging RINO.”
Others think this is the moderate wing of the party thumbing their nose at Donald Trump. Emmer has been a quiet Never-Trump from the start, accepting benefits from the President when it behooved him but secretly working behind the scenes to subvert him and his agenda. Like most Never-Trumpers in Congress who are too cowardly to voice their opinions, Emmer’s real feelings are only shared to those he trusts. With that said, I have confirmed with two of his “allies” that he hates Trump and always has. Trump also knows this which is why has opposed Emmer multiple times.
One popular theory that’s floating around is the idea that Emmer will help turn back on the money-laundering scheme known as Ukrainian “aid.” Proponents of this theory claim Ukraine is what sunk Jim Jordan’s chances. This is at least partially true, but not the biggest reason.
Some are saying Emmer will open the door to abolishing the Electoral College and deciding the presidential race by popular vote. While it’s true that Emmer has supported this, I find it hard to believe that this is the reason for his ascension.
While any of these reasons may play a role in some of the individual votes by GOP members, the biggest reason he is being promoted despite being wildly unpopular among GOP voters is that Emmer is compromised. The puppet masters over the UniParty Swamp, whether you want to call them the Principalities and Powers or the Multipolar World Order, will only allow someone who is compromised and under their control to be Speaker of the House.
To be clear, EVERY member of Congress is compromised to some extent. Some are only partially compromised and are not necessarily being controlled by the powers-that-be. Many if not most are completely compromised to the point that they can act and say decent things most of the time but when the call comes in for them to vote in this direction or promote an idea in a different direction, they obediently comply.
Those they cannot compromise, they eliminate. Ask Madison Cawthorn.
McCarthy is compromised on multiple levels. Steve Scalise, the initial offering by the GOP to replace McCarthy, is fully compromised as well. Jim Jordan, the 2nd most popular Republican in America right now, clearly wasn’t compromised enough or he would be Speaker today.
Emmer, unfortunately, may be the most compromised Republican in the House. He’s not as compromised as Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham in the Senate, but in the lower chamber his is a pure lapdog for the globalist elite cabal.
I’m sure there will be those who think I’m crazy or simply wrong, but I’m neither. Okay, I might be a LITTLE crazy sometimes but I have enough information about DC to know that Emmer is a full-blown puppet who will do whatever his handlers tell him to do. This is an absolute disaster if it’s not stopped. Let’s pray there’s enough integrity among a handful of House Republicans to prevent this travesty.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
The war profiteers in DC swamp see trillion going unaccounted for to foreign wars for the taking.
McCarthy is essentially — or was in his capacity as the Speaker — an agent for the CCP, as he received funding from Sequoia Capital, which is too closely connected to the CCP through their China office man who is an advisor to the CCP! Sequoia Capital, for those who may not know or remember, was the oroiinal founder/backer of Sequoia Voting Systems, which morphed into Dominion Voting Systems, which received MAJOR investments from the former Carlyle Group guys at Street Capital — investigations into connections to CCP funding to congress HALTED under McCarthy’s speakership, now they may resume!
While I try to avoid all this political theater crapola, we have reached a critical mass point with CCP subversion and congressional/governmental collusion — differentiating between globalist/WEF connections and CCP connections is supremely difficult as they too often tend to merge together — Emmers appears to have been a Soros’ man in the past, probably is still one — a total sellout never to be trusted! McCarthy is another known sellout, never to be trusted — neither are lightweight threats but MAJOR threats to positive change in America!
Whether it was Bush family member, Judge John Walker, Jr. and his countless profitable trips and seminars across China (James Comey interned with him), or various members of SCOTUS who took part–time gigs/junkets to Peking University, the potential foreign subversion runs deep — note Beijing’s man in LA, Newsom, over there now yucking it up with the Chicoms! Stuff is serious, and the Pentagon acts impotent in response, but given Milley and other pro–CCP types, perhaps that is part of the plan!
