Kevin McCarthy will NOT be running again as Speaker.
I nominate Donald J. Trump for Speaker of the House.

McCarthy Won’t Seek Speaker Position In Re-Vote; Trump Nominated By Nehls
October 4, 2023
Newly ousted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will not seek reelection to the post when the chamber convenes to select a new candidate. …
Following McCarthy’s ouster, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) called the former Speaker a “feature of the swamp.”
“Kevin McCarthy couldn’t keep his word. He made an agreement in January regarding the way Washington would work, and he violated that agreement. We are $33 trillion in debt. We are facing $2.2 trillion annual deficits,” …
Congressman Troy Nehls has nominated former President Donald Trump for Speaker. …
Here’s where Goldman’s Alec Phillips sees things:
- The House has voted to remove Rep. McCarthy as speaker. House Financial Services Chairman McHenry (R-NC) will temporarily serve as caretaker speaker (speaker pro tempore) until a new speaker is elected. Legislative activity in the House will temporarily cease as Republicans reorganize. Selecting a speaker in January took 5 days, and it is possible the next selection could take several days as well.
- Although possible, we think it is very unlikely that the House will remain without a leader until Nov. 17, when the recent extension of spending authority expires. …
Kevin McCarthy has been removed as Speaker of the House for the first time in US history.
The final vote was 216-210. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mccarthy-out-today-motion-vacate-first-order-business-says-he-hasnt-struck-deal-dems
For a couple of years, some in the USA have hoped that Donald Trump would become Speaker of the House.
Newsweek put out the following in late 2021:
How Donald Trump Could Become Speaker of the House Without Running for Office
December 9, 2021
Former President Donald Trump could have a reason to return to Washington, D.C., before 2024 if Republicans win big in 2022 and choose him to lead them in the House of Representatives.
Republican Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida reignited chatter of Trump becoming speaker of the House if Republicans reclaim the chamber in 2022 on Tuesday, telling reporters he’s spoken with Trump about the possibility. Historically, the speaker of the House has been a member of Congress, but the majority party can pick whoever they want.
So, theoretically, Republicans could choose to put Trump in the speaker’s chair by a majority vote. However, Trump’s been noncommittal on the idea and it’s possible he wouldn’t even want the position if it was offered to him. …
For Republicans to put Trump in the speaker’s chair, they have to retake control of the House in 2022. Since World War II, the president’s party has lost an average of 26 seats in the House and Republicans only need to flip five seats to become the majority party, giving the GOP a good chance of controlling the House after the 2022 election. https://www.newsweek.com/how-donald-trump-could-become-speaker-house-without-running-office-1657764
In the past Donald Trump has said he was not interested in becoming Speaker of the House.
Some in the USA have placed their hope in the return of Donald Trump.
Some in the USA support the Biden-Harris Administration and place their confidence with it.
Others have concerns about both.
Notice two translations of Psalm 146:3:
Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. (New Living Translation)
Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. (NKJV)
The Book of Psalms also teaches:
8 It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes. (Psalms 118:8-9)
From a Christian perspective, consider that neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden advocate national repentance nor the kingdom of God.
Donald Trump is a serial adulterer and Joe Biden is an ardent promoter of abortion.
And both of them have documented problems with the truth.
No matter who you may think is better, the lesser of two evils is still evil.
Before the last election, we in the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
The USA presidential campaign is in full swing. Though Democratic party candidate Joe Biden and Republican party candidate Donald Trump have differing economic and climate policies as well as different views on abortion and racial matters, there are many similarities both share. Do they have policies that they share that are leading to the destruction of the USA? What do Bible prophecies reveal about sexual immorality, debt, and hypocrisy? What are some of the national sins of the USA? Does the Bible endorse voting? What did Jesus teach related to what to seek and pray for? What does the New Testament teach that Christians are to do related to leaders? Is the lesser of two evils still evil? Dr. Thiel goes over these matters, including going over eleven similarities the two major party candidates share and some of what the Bible teaches about evil.
Here is a link to our sermonette video: Biden, Trump, and the Bible.
The USA is becoming more and more divided. This is not good. As Jesus said:
25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)
17 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. (Luke 11:17)
The divide in the USA is growing as many of its sins (including hypocrisy) become more blatant.
I watched CNN last might and various pundits want to portray this as proof that the Democrats are the “adults in the room” and the only ones who really want to govern.
Republicans, of course, have a different view.
Yet, both have approved, among other things, massive debts that will be a factor in the destruction of the USA. Watch:
And the Debt Goes On …
On June 3, 2023, US President Joe Biden signed a bill to increase the official debt-ceiling of the United States. According to the US Treasury the “ceiling” has been changed, increased, or delayed 78 other times. The official debt has nearly tripled since the Obama-Biden Administration. The official debt increased about $2 trillion per year under Donald Trump’s Administration and has done close to that in the Joe Biden Administration. While the USA has been able to increase debt with limited consequences (like inflation) so far, does the Bible show this can end in destruction? What did God warn about debt through the prophet Habakkuk? Is getting into high amounts of debt a blessing or curse according to the Bible? Do Democrats or Republicans currently have a plan that will now be implemented to pay off the debt? Has the USA been functioning as an international “leech” consistent with statements in the Book of Proverbs? Does the Bible say it is wicked to borrow money you do really intend to repay? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel cover these matters.
Here is a link to our video: And the Debt Goes On …
The government of the USA is looking more and more dysfunctional to the nations of the world.
So, what should a Christian do?
Well, one thing is to pray:
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-5)
9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9-10)
Understand that neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump will change what will happen to the USA without national repentance.
The USA needs the return of Jesus and the coming Kingdom of God.
The Feast of Tabernacles, which is ongoing right now, is a foretaste of the Kingdom of God. One in which:
15 … “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15)
So, yes, there is good news, despite what goes on with the governments of this age.

There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it.
