Today in the U.S. House of Representatives, history was made when Republican members voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. The House will now need to elect a new speaker, with North Carolina Republican Patrick McHenry taking over as the interim speaker. Prior to today, no House speaker has ever before been relieved of the position through the passage of a resolution to remove them.

McCarthy’s tenure as the Speaker of the House lasted just 269 days, the second shortest tenure in history.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman's pulling a fire alarm in a U.S. Capitol office building as Congress scrambled to pass stopgap funding to avert a federal government shutdown Saturday was more than an innocent mistake, said Wyoming Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman. It was a deliberate stunt that deserves swift action by censuring and booting Bowman from the House.

One of the biggest sideshows to the weekend’s spending bill negotiations was Bowman's fire alarm pull that happened before a midnight deadline to avert a shutdown.

According to a recent USDA report, after 30 plus years of a positive trade balance, the United States will import more dollars worth of agricultural products than it will export.

The imbalance looks to grow larger in 2024.

The lowered export values are “largely driven by lower exports of soybeans, soybean meal, and dairy products” according to the USDA.

U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman said a Tuesday revelation that Hunter Biden received more than $250,000 in wire transfers in 2019 from his Chinese business partners, with President Joe Biden’s home address listed as the beneficiary address for the funds, is evidence of “simple and obvious corruption” by the president.

Hageman said the bank records obtained and publicized by the House Oversight Committee is another reason to consider impeaching Biden.

U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman believes politicians are term limited by their elections, but rank-and-file federal employees are a different beast.

“If you want to change what’s going on in Washington, D.C., limit the power of the bureaucracy. That’s the key,” she said on conservative strategist Tim Murtaugh’s Line Drive podcast last week.

An oversight hearing by the U.S. Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources gave U.S. Rep. Harriett Hageman, R-Wyoming, a window to again grill Bureau of Land Management leadership about a policy in which the agency won’t allow oil and gas drilling to proceed on any leases on the lands it manages if those leases are involved in litigation with environmental groups. 

This was not a policy ordered by any courts, but allows those groups to maliciously stop oil and gas projects simply by filing lawsuits, whether they have merit or not, Hageman said.

Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., told Newsmax on Monday that when it comes to the allegations of corruption by President Joe Biden and his family, the job of the House is to build a case and present the evidence to the American public, which is essentially the jury.

As the crow flies, Wyoming is 6,620 miles from Guam. Even so, U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman wants Wyoming residents to consider the 210-square-mile island and others like it in the Pacific and Indian oceans as the front door to American security interests.

She told Cowboy State Daily this week that China’s aggression toward them these island nations could be a sign of possible action toward the United States is one of the few topics in Congress on which both Democrats and Republicans agree.
