“The seal clappers will clap for Matt Gaetz exposing McCarthy as the rest of us know McCarthy is, but McCarthy will stay in place. They’ll say it was all inevitable anyway, but McCarthy had thus far been willing to add conservatives to key committees, advance their plan for cuts, etc. “Conservatives were getting something. If McCarthy gets Democrats to support …

“I’ve seen conservatives stand firm and get sequestration even as Republican leaders complained and sought to undermine it. And I’ve seen conservatives fracture in shutdowns and betray each other. I’ve seen senior members of the movement decide it was time to cash in and grift out. “I’ve seen young hucksters wrap the label of conservatism around themselves and prey on …

Right wing commentator Erick Erickson writes: Trump sat with Bret Baier last night and all but admitted to a felony. He also insisted again that he only hired the best people in the White House, like Christopher Wray and Anthony Fauci. But it is the document issue that is the problem. Forget the presidential records act. Forget the espionage act. …

From right wing commentator Erick Erickson: It is official. Republicans have taken back the House of Representatives. They gathered yesterday to announce their first official act: an investigation into Hunter Biden. Dumbasses. What a bunch of idiots. The American people just rejected the GOP “own the libs” strategy. They signaled they’d love to have responsible adult Republicans in charge. In …

From right wing commentator Erick Erickson: The House leader is well known to be devoid of principle. He is a political opportunist. He has shifted positions and courted coalitions over time, but that lack of principles and wind-blown drift are coming back to haunt him. After January 6, he loudly condemned Trump and then sought to memory hole it as …

From right wing commentator Erick Erickson: Either the GOP heads to the future, or it stays in the past. That is a choice for its voters. Independent voters went against the GOP because it turns out they’d rather stay in a terrible economy with leadership who won’t start World War III by tweet than hand the country over to a …

From right wing commentator Erick Erickson: GOP, you must be done with Trump. This has to be a key takeaway. Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, and Brian Kemp all did very well. They did well as their own men in their own right. The voters thoroughly rejected trump-backed candidates. Bo Hines, the young man in North Carolina who Trump backed, got …

Via email from conservative columnist Erick Erickson: It is a measure of political brokenness, I think, to think January 6, 2021, was a worse day in history for Americans than September 11, 2001. Politically, okay, sure, I understand your point. But as an act of “terrorism?” Really? Donald Trump, bull in the china shop, broke many things, including the brains …

From the right wing commentator Erick Erickson: Let’s be honest, environmentalists are oftentimes the bad guys. The situation in Ukraine is the perfect example. Environmentalists pushed the U.S. and Europe to drastically cut their carbon footprint by divesting in fossil fuels and heavily relying on solar and wind power. Knowing that the wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t …

Mediaite reports: On Monday night, conservative pundit Erick Erickson tweeted out a flyer purporting to be part of The Real Cost, an anti-tobacco campaign developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The top of flyer reads, “Pleasure yourself with Nicotine? Try masturbation instead!” The flyer further says, “Masturbation is a safe and healthy alternative to vaping as a solution …

From right wing commentator Erick Erickson: In my city, a crystal shop opened. It advertises itself as a “metaphysical/spiritual” store. You can get crystals to give you energy or calm you. You can learn to cast spells and explore astrology. You can delve into the magical arts long ago pushed aside by the Christian God. The old gods are coming …

Via email from right wing commentator Erick Erickson: Regardless of what Gruden said, they were in private emails to friends. They were uncovered because they went not to personal email accounts, but to corporate accounts or personal accounts subject to search. Gruden said in private what other people might say, including referring to Joe Biden in 2012 as a “nervous …

Via email from right wing commentator Erick Erickson: I need to submit a proposition to you. What if Joe Biden’s demands for mandatory vaccines at companies of a hundred people or more is not intended to increase compliance with the vaccination rate, but is rather intended to have the effect everyone said it would, for people to dig in their …

Via email from right wing columnist Erick Erickson: Twitter temporarily suspended me from Twitter and I know a lot of you originally came here because of Twitter links. Considering I have doubled down on truth telling, I suspect Twitter will ban me at some point for stating biological truths. This is just a reminder that your subscription to this email …

Via email from right wing columnist Erick Erickson: Marjorie Taylor Green, the QAnon Congresswoman, is shaming a restaurant in Atlanta. I think it’s called Argosy or something like that. It’s in Hipsterville, Atlanta. They put up a sign outside asking that only vaccinated people come inside. This happened after several of their staff got COVID and they had to shut …

Via email from syndicated columnist Erick Erickson: The census numbers are out. Texas is going to gain two seats. Florida will gain a seat. So too will North Carolina. New York will lose one. California will stay the same. But the overall number in the United States House of Representatives will remain at 435. The House has been fixed at …

Via email from right wing columnist Erick Erickson: Encouraged by President Trump, and let’s not mince words here — he told them to march on the Capitol, a mixed group of rabid, malcontented supporters stormed through barricades, smashed windows, and took up residence in the chair belonging to the President of the Senate who also happens to be the Vice …

Right wing columnist Erick Erickson writes: Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, is under a federal investigation and would love a presidential pardon. His lawsuit is just more performative leg humping by someone desperate to curry favor with President Trump. The various attorneys general who have joined his lawsuit all want to either get re-elected or seek higher office. …

Via email from right wing columnist Erick Erickson: On social media, more than 10,000 people have shared the results of a forensic audit in Ware County, Georgia. I keep getting asked about it. Voting machines were seized and a court-ordered audit happened. It turns out the machines really were throwing votes for Trump to Biden. In the test of the …

Right wing columnist Erick Erickson writes: Standing on stage at a stop the steal rally, Attorney Lin Wood, urged Georgia Republican voters to stay home and refrain from supporting the GOP in the special election runoffs that will decide control of the United States Senate. Wood has a history of helping the Democrats. He funded John Edwards’s presidential campaign. He …
