When John Boehner was the Speaker of the House, I had many unkind things to say about him. Every one of them was the truth, but I also claimed that not all of the failings of the House could be attributed to him. The latter part of this was revealed from Boehner himself while speaking at Stanford.

No one will claim that Boehner was a strong Speaker. He allowed a small group of extremists to create the worst Congress in America’s history. They accomplished nothing and were proud of that fact. However, this group of anti-Americans called the TEA Party, and later the Freedom Caucus are focused on destroying Democracy in any form for the United States of America. Boehner had this to say about them.

Boehner called them — “knuckleheads” and “goofballs.” Then he told the truth; a fact I reported multiple times.

“I love all these knuckleheads talking about the party of Reagan,” Boehner continued. “He would be the most moderate Republican elected today.”

The “Freedom Caucus” cannot call themselves ‘Republicans.’ The Republicans I remember throughout my life were fighters. They represented the American people and fought for their image of America. They worked hard in deliberations, and compromised when it made sense for the American people.

‘Conservatism’ has become a four-letter-word. They have taken a moderate, idealistic philosophy into an extremist viewpoint which is diametrically opposed to the views of the majority of the American people.

For John Boehner I am personally pleased. Although I cannot make the claim that I ever praised him for his beliefs or his actions while in office, he is a man I believe I would like to sit down with and share a cocktail. He is a good man who was misguided by a party which had failed him and the American people.

The good news is that he is now free; free from the constraints of being forced to follow the party line.

The media placed all blame for the failure of the House for the last seven years on the shoulders of John Boehner. But we all know that the media fails the American people with regularity.

I have never heard a single “journalist” from the major media tell the truth about the TEA Party. It has been the destructive force in our nation since 2010, and is owned by the Koch brothers. None of them have the courage to tell the truth.

I am a man who is devoted to inform the people of my nation about the truth. I do not make a dime from my revelations. It’s not that I would not be pleased if my meager income was increased by profit from my articles, but I am a principled man and believe that the people of the United States deserve to know the facts.

America is only free if there are no secrets between our government and the people. Today that does not exist. The major media is only allowed to report what the government permits.

“Vote the bums out.” I have nothing else to say.
