WASHINGTON — When Congress began the new year, Rep. Andy Biggs gave a television interview and made a startling confession: House Republicans have done nothing they can run on.
“We have nothing. In my opinion, we have nothing to go out there and campaign on,” the Arizona Republican said on the conservative network Newsmax. “It’s embarrassing.”

Anchor Chris Salcedo responded with a bemused chuckle. “I know,” he said. “The Republican Party in the Congress majority has zero accomplishments.”
The exchange captured a dynamic that looms over Republican lawmakers heading into the 2024 election: They’ve passed little substantive legislation since winning the majority in 2022 and struggled to do the basics of governing with a Democratic-led Senate. Their first year was instead marked by fractiousness and chaos, complicating the party’s pitch to voters this fall. The challenge is accentuated by likely GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump making “retribution” against his enemies, rather than shared policy goals, the centerpiece of his comeback bid as he continues to spread fabricated claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

"But it's not true!", shouted House Speaker Mike Johnson.

"Excuse me, who are you again?" said Salcedo.

"The name is Mike Johnson, you know, the anti-porn guy."

"Oh, that guy" said Salcedo. "Then what have you accomplished?

Mike Johson then pulled out a list of his accomplishments to show him.

1. Told the world he and his son want look at porn, meaning he is unable to enter Senate chambers through most of the day or he will get an eye full.

2. Spent continuing spending bills by the DNC., otherwise, Chuck Schumer would beat up Mike and steal his lunch money like he did on his first day on the job.

3. Refuse to impeach Joe Biden cuz there is zero evidence for Joe and Hunter ever doing anything wrong, but if there is evidence, Russian spies planted it.

Keeping the leftists at bay (sorta) is achievement enough.....Why people think making more laws is a good thing I'll never understand.

Teeing up Burisma again is a sure sign of desperation. Are they going to let Biden`s kid off the hook for his ownership of a laptop?

What about the millions the Biden family got from China and the Ukraine and did not pay taxes? Russian disinformation.

What about the Presidential files Joe kept even though he was not the President at the time when Trump is only held accountable for having?. Russian disinformation.

What about Hunter and his gun felony he was not held accountable fore? Russian disinformation.

What about Hunter getting millions from Chinese Oligarchs for his paintings. He is just a good artist is all.

Run on closing the border. That should do it.

How about some evidence? On the other hand, I support the impeachment of Biden`s slimy kid.

Everything Congress does has been destructive.....so not doing anything right now means not spending money they don't have. It's a win-win situation.

They limited the evil as best they could.

There is really nothing that the House can do as long as we have an obstructionist Senate in place. The House does have some achievements, none the less. It impeached Mayorkas, and the term isn't over yet. Expect a lot of investigations to commence and continue as the campaign heats up.
