    …Opening the Capitol to the public would be “one of the first orders of business,” McCarthy wrote on Twitter. Members of the public may gain access to the galleries through normal procedures as well as obtain tickets from members, a measure that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suspended…


    …McCarthy additionally stated that every morning of the House’s proceedings would begin with a prayer as well as the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag, a departure from their intermittent practice under Democrats, according to a post on Facebook. “No exceptions,” he wrote, in relation to the announced measure.

    McCarthy is also likely to rescind a controversial decision to place metal detectors outside the House chamber doors, with all members required to pass through them and those who refuse being fined…

    …McCarthy’s changes have been announced in addition to statements he will remove several Democrats from top standing committees, following House Democrats’ vote to strip Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia of her committee assignments in 2021. The Democrats to be removed are Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell of California from the Intelligence Committee and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from the Foreign Affairs Committee…

    I like these changes proposed here as reported upon by the Daily Caller News Foundation. These are great ideas. It’s beyond time to re open the peoples house to we the People.

    I wonder if democrats will walk out during prayer to the God they deny exists and remain seated for the pledge of allegiance to the nation they disrespect?

    I expected nothing less..
    Greene and Boebert are going to walk in every day with AR-15s and 10 Banana Clips strapped to their thighs on days that they wear dresses...
    On days that they wear Pant Suits they will just open carry the clips as an Avant-Garde necklace...
    Gotta love GOP Control...

    I wonder if Republicans will walk out on the days there are prayers to Allah.
    Or if those who supported the Jan 6 insurrection will refuse to swear an oath to protect the Constitution they hate.

    I wonder if Republicans will support all Gods they deny exists?

    Reality is, the only God they pray to is the Money God and the Golden Calf

    ~ This is a good idea. I always liked Ron Paul's suggestion that a quarterly report of activity by each member of Congress be presented to the public in an open forum. Capitola Hill should belong to the people — not the private clique of political elites.
    ~ Of course. The "dramatic " Democrats always behave like spoiled brats because we Americans allow it. :disbelief:

    They seem to forget Theists disbelieve in almost all the same God's as Atheists

    as for Muslims and Jews, they believe in the exact same God as the right does

    Exactly.
    I wonder what would happen if a Jewish or Muslim member of the House would ask for one of their prayers … same deity but different religion. Would they walk out?

    When fascism comes to America, it will be under the guise of anti fascism.

    yes, the right tries to say that others are the fascists, and they are trying to stop it, all the while pushing fascism

    Incorrect, it’s the left who tried to force unneeded vaxxes on people. And it’s the left that openly attacks and tries to silence people who disagree.

    It is the secular progressive left that hates the constitution and thinks of it as an out of date relic of the past. As to Islam, it seems that they are with the parental rights movement and are joining others in the move to the GOP.

    It is the Jan 6 insurrectionists and anyone who thinks Pence could have chosen different electors who hate the Constitution. For them it is an inconvenient hurdle to remaining in power.

    And just to be clear - you would have no problem at all with Muslim or Jewish prayers being used to open each day in Congress, instead of Christian prayers. Yes?

    vaccines have been mandated for travel, schools and the military for years

    covid vaccines were never mandated for the public, I was never forced to get one by the government

    it's the right trying to force rape victims to have their rapists babies... fascist

    Fascism has nothing to do with the Church. In fact, whether one conflates Fascism with Hitler's Nazi Germany or Mussolini's Fascist Italy both movements sought to placate the church, but they didn't actively look for a merger between church and state(this of course, would be due to the inherent conflict of the supra-State.)

    One of the unique things about being in the US is being scared of Fascism, without knowing what it is.

    I’m sure you don’t remember the left pushed (and failed) to implement. But that is not my fault

    yes, the left followed Trump's shutdown and reopen guidelines, that was a mistake as I said... hindsight is 20\20

    that is the point, fascism is wrapped in the flag and the bible... that gets people to not see it due to religious bias

    Christians supported Hitler as they thought he was doing their dirty work, getting rid of the Jews that would not convert

    Many supported Trump for the same reason, what they did not realize is Trump did not give them those justices, the senate did with their 50 vote rule change, any republican President would have got far right judges - now if the left picks judges, they will be far left, as the vote no longer requires 60 votes - the 60 votes is what gave us moderate judges

    They pushed for this long after shutdowns, targeting specifically those whom were unvaxxed. That was a democrat thing.

    which States ever met Trump's reopen guidelines, any?

    why did Trump not ever change his guidelines?

    Democrats pushed to stop the unvaxxed, years after the pandemic started, from being able to work, or go to even the grocery store.

    Amen, draped in the flag and the cloak of "righteousness".
