Submitted Kat Stansell (Independent Journalist and Earnest Patriot) –
The Debt Ceiling has been raised, and our country, taken deeper into destruction than ever before. The vote had nothing to do with the insolvency issue, and should have demanded more for us. The Uniparty/Globalists are the majority, who, in both houses passed the bill. Just thought Tennesseans should know which of their “representatives” voted with the Anti-American crowd.
In the Senate, Marsha Blackburn voted “NO”. Thank you, Sen. Blackburn! Bill Hagerty abstained (did he think he could fool us? He took Gates money for his last campaign.)
In the US House, three TN Representatives voted with the Uniparty:
*Chuck Fleischmann who only votes with his party 56% of the time’
*Mark Green, who soiled his 85% conservative voting record with this vote
*David Kustoff, who is a regular voter with the other side, 59% of the time

I won’t pontificate. These are our elected representatives.
I will make a strong suggestion, however.
To stop the bleeding of this once “good red state”, we must primary these three Uniparty Representatives at the next opportunity. Stay on them like a hawk with its eye on the prey. Make them KNOW what you expect of them.
If you think Green can be saved/redirected , work with him. Let him know, too, what you expect. If you think their votes are just fine, and represent you, then YOU are, indeed, part of the problem. Nothing good comes from totalitarianism.
Be part of the solution. All effective action is local action, so please do your part. Don’t let Tennessee fade into purple or, worse yet, bright blue.
Remember, our only two choices of political representation are between those who stand behind our Constitutional Republic, and those who are pushing Communism.

WE VOTED THESE RINOS IN WE CAN AND WILL VOTE THEM OUT.
Mark Green has a Heritage lifetime score of 97% and a Club For Growth score of 98%. You embarrass yourself Tim calling a man like that a “RINO” so why don’t you resolve here and now to stop doing that.
You should read the article. Let pol get away with it once and soon it will be a regular event.
Like MTG.. it only takes one decision like this to betray your constituents.. Just another Green that forgot who they represent and needs primaried..
Ooooo JN you are one hard to please constituent. One vote that you don’t agree with and boom he “needs primairied.” When conservatives start “primarying” every member of Congress with a Heritage score below 00% I hope you know where we are going to find the money to “primary” all of the Republican centrists and tepid conservatives like Chuck Fleischmann who really need to go.
Of course, that should read “Heritage score below 100%”
How or why should he be embarrassed for calling them Rhinos? Regardless of Greens, record, he voted for a democratic bill that has no chance of doing anything other than putting us in further debt.
Well Christopher, given enough time every Republican officeholder is going to do something or vote in some way that is going to displease you or me. If we call everyone who does so a “RINO” the acronym will soon lose its meaning which I don’t want to see happen. “RINO” is a very important word to use for those centrists who time and again vote in a way that is opposed to the platform of the Republican Party and who we conservatives need to defeat in the Republican primaries. Lets not dilute the word to the extent that it loses all meaning.
Green is and has been a gutless treasonous RINO. He and all the other gutless traitor RINOs in TN, some of them like Sam Whitson who is nothing more than a leftist terrorist antifa member with an R next to his name, and far left pervert terrorist loving Bill Lee, must be removed.
The base has had enough of lies, backstabbing, and treason from Republicans.
I’m in Green’s district, voted for him, no more. He’s been a BIG disappointment.
Mark Green has a lifetime Heritage score of 97% and a lifetime Club For Growth score of 98% which makes him one of the most conservative members of Congress according to the two premier conservative organizations that KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
It seems that a number of you expect the Republicans who control one-half of one-third of the federal government to close the government down until they get their way. This would, of course, be a very bad beginning to the 2024 elections which present the only way to change the budget and its priorities, by winning. Thank-you Mark Green for having the good sense to know “when to fold ’em” and go home.
Looks like you work for Mark Green.. If he was doing so well, then why did he decide to give them the bank?
I don’t work for Mark nor am I related to him but I bet he voted the way he did because he has seen this movie about a half dozen times before when Republicans put their foot down and say “NO” and then are blamed for the government shutdown by the millions of low information voters who might be persuaded to vote Republican but decide not to “because those damn Republicans shut the government” and inconvenience them in one way or another. I further think that Mark knows there is a very crucial election season that is already underway and there are only about 30% -35% of voters who consider themselves “conservatives” so in order to get rid of the demented Big Guy we need about 20% of the other voters to support conservative candidates or they can’t win. Shutting the government only alienates others and always accomplishes very little so let’s not do the same self-defeating thing over and over again I think is the way Mark sees it.
That Mark Green is one smart Congressman and some day, if we are lucky, he will make a great Governor.
Rep. David Kustoff
(TN)-R | In Office Since 2018
LIBERTY SCORE®
F 59%
Rep Kustoff your days are numbered. We in W TN are tired of your RINO voting. We expected more of you. Why can’t U follow the lead of Rep Blackburn!!!!! Suggest if U want to keep your job “U Rethink Who Put U in Office.” Unemployment in TN does not pay so well…….
David Kustoff has a Heritage lifetime score of 89% which makes him a solid conservative. He’s no Mark Green (97%), John Rose (99%), or Tim Burchett (958%) but a solid conservative nevertheless. We are blessed with a very conservative Republican delegation here in Tennessee so why don’t we simply count our blessings and concentrate on replacing tepid conservative Chuck Fleischmann (74%) and the Open Primary Eight in the upcoming 2024 Republican primary.
It seems the comments reflect the idea that default would be the end of the world. I, for one, in my eighty years have not seen politicians on either side willing to bite the bullet and bring the debt under control. The GOP says that when their in power, they’ll do it, the Dems say when their in power, they’ll do it and both sides lie through their collective teeth. You want change, vote out the whole lot of them. The politicians I halfway like will not be getting my vote again. It’s time for them to go along with the rest of them. A default would make things hard for awhile, especially for those on fixed incomes. Until we take away the paychecks of Congress and the President, there will never be any change.
What about Chucky Chuck Fleishman… Its time to find a primary candidate to replace. I called the day of the vote, like many others, to tell him to vote no. There is no representation of those in his district. Just voting to keep status quo.
Now you’re talking JN!
Might help if the Citizens of the States remind their Media and Politicians the US of A is a Constitutional
Representative Government with a Democratic Process and not a Socialist oriented Democracy.
There is a very big difference between the two.
I do not know when both entities decided to start calling the US a Democracy, I do know why though.
I met Mark Green one time at Senator Pody’s Freedom conference…. we got into it over Ukraine. He said, “The CIA got it wrong in Afghanistan and Iraq, but they do it right this time.”… What? Really? He Chairs the committee on Homeland Security, and I suspect thinks he is “in the know”… No. I don’t think so. I think he’s in over his head and they are chewing him up and spitting him out and he does not even know it. I told him “It does not work that way.” In a court of law, if you are caught ONE TIME lying it taints the rest of your testimony. The CIA not only has been caught many times, I doubt they tell, or act, the truth about ANYTHING. Stop letting your personal proclivities get in the way of see Mark’s failings.
Kat Stansell? You mean Katherine Stansell, previously of IL, NC, VA, and now TN? When was she fired by the American Policy Center — who wiped their website clean of any trace of her? Calling herself the “Earnest Patriot,” she claims to be Founder and Director of “United in Strength for America,” a non-existent organization. She did manage to con Gary Adkins of Fredericksburg, VA, to support her for a while, even to the point of filing a Virginia State Corporation license for her phony “United in Strength” — then she dumped him and headed for her current gig in Tennessee. She’s a fraud and a complete loon who has never met a conspiracy theory she doesn’t like.
