GAMA SOSA: The Speaker Candidate Who Brings Both Parties Together Is Obvious

With Kevin McCarthy unable to get the necessary votes for speaker, Congress has a few options on how to proceed. One is to let the Democrats have Hakeem Jeffries, earning themselves some woke points for electing the first black speaker. Republicans could try getting Dems on board with McCarthy, but then McCarthy would be their b***h. The third option is to bring in a third party from the outside.

Donald Trump is the best bet. Actually, scratch that. It will never happen. 90% of Congress hates him or doesn’t want to be associated with him. But what about Volodymyr Zelenskyy? The guy certainly has the support of both Republicans and Democrats – or The Uniparty, as I’ve been calling it for seven years now.

Zelenskyy really would be perfect. At worst, nothing would change, and at best, you’d get the status quo on steroids. Like Congress, he resembles a bad girlfriend that’s good for two things: screwing you over and asking for money.

Now, where the money and weapons we send go, nobody knows. Even CNN admitted it. But that’s just like here in the U.S.! It kind of reminds me of the time Bill DeBlasio’s wife “lost” $850 million (How the hell do you “lose” $850 million?). Or the time American weapons ended up in Mexico and it turned out the feds and Barack Obama were behind it. Or Obama and Joe Biden giving ISIS and the Taliban all our stuff. Or the time the Pentagon “lost track” of “hundreds of millions” – and that’s probably what they’re willing to admit to. When I tried to search the latest omnibus bill for various earmarks, my browser kept crashing because it couldn’t handle the 4,000+ pages (seriously).

It’s no surprise that The Uniparty loves Zelenskyy. Birds of a feather flock together. And given how much applause Zelenskyy received from Congress in December, we can all agree that he has a lot of support from both parties. He’s so confident, he shows up to take our money in sweats rather than in a suit.

And the icing on the cake? The White House requested $37 billion in aid for Zelenskyy and Congress gave him $45 billion instead! He didn’t even have to ask! He’s the greatest negotiator of all time. Who else can get more money without even asking? Say goodbye to congressional debates, because this guy already knows what we need.

Everyone keeps talking about how they want normality and the “good old days” to come back to Washington and America in general. Really, if you think about it, they never left. They just became even more “good.” That is, of course, if by the “good old days” you mean endless wars, spending, unnecessary foreign aid, an exploding national debt and the boot of the security state stomping on your face forever. Then life’s never been better – even compared to the Bush and Obama years.

So what will Zelenskyy do? He will start motions for war with Russia, getting along great with the likes of Lindsay Graham, Jamie Raskin and the war caucus. He wants to turn Ukraine into a multicultural democracy, which is wokespeak for flooding your country with foreigners — legal or illegal. Chuck Schumer, with his amnesty plan, and the various ethno-racial caucuses on both sides of the aisle demanding race-based concessions and amnesty will love this guy. Throw in gay marriage, and you have the establishment GOP on board.

Finally, Zelenskyy will spend, spend, spend and then spend some more. And I’m sure some of that will be kicked back to Congress. After all, what politician doesn’t like a good grift? It will be just like under Bush, Obama and Biden, but on steroids.

Sure, Lauren Boebert and co. might be mad. She didn’t even clap for Zelenskyy. Maybe he should have followed JEB’s lead and asked her. But who cares what a 5ft-tall, gun-toting lady who’s actually fighting for us thinks? It’s 2022. People work for politicians and the IRS, not the other way around. Her attitude is so 18th century. Get with the times, Lauren.

Anyway, if you want the “good old days” to make a comeback in true style, let’s get Volodymyr Zelenskyy into the speaker’s chair. Never mind that he’s not a U.S. citizen. The Uniparty doesn’t seem to care about that pesky requirement, anyway.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
