I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

He also opens Congress for Americans to witness the House debate

Ha, US companies like less regulation in China. Good luck getting those jobs back.

Also, the whole drain the swamp thing? Sounds like he's trying to appease the 6 Trumpists.

GMS: While I wanted Conservative Republican Nationalists like, Black African American Byron Donalds, or Euro American Andy Biggs to be the Republican Speaker Leader of the House of Reprentatives, I am ok with Euro American Kevin McCarthy as Reublican Speaker Leader of the House of Representatives, and I strongly support him and congratulate him, Congratulations Republican Speaker Leader of the House, Kevin McCarthy, like Republican President Trump of the USA strongly supports him.

Before Kevin McCarthy became our Republican Leader of the House, he stated the first thing we are going to do on day one is, Is Repeal the 87,000 IRS Agents Passed by the Previous Leftist Democrat Congress and secure our Borders against Biden's Open Borders Illegal immigration Policies.

You’ve got to secure this border, the millions of people coming across, the fentanyl that’s killing our children. We need to work on our economy. That means making us energy-independent. We need to hold this government accountable. Where’s the origin of COVID began? Find out what this Biden family had done in the process. Make sure the FBI is not going after Americans but actually going after crime. We’ve got so much work behind us, and we need to start on the very first day.”

Another reason why the Democrats are mad at me, I think – government should be here to help you, not to go after you, then we’re going to secure our border.

These are a few of the reported deals Kevin McCarthy made, offered or negotiated with the The Republican House Freedom Caucus.
The Republican House Freedom Caucus
01 - A vote on term limits for members.
02 - More seats for Freedom Caucus members on the powerful House Rules Committee.
03 - Allowing a single member to force a vote on ousting the speaker.
04 - Endorse conservatives for committee gavels.

Yup.
Also, I'm only counting 12 people in that boat, not to mention, how does the person rowing the boat look like a woman? it's a young man of the time, possibly 16.
