GOP Senators Hand Mitch McConnell Power to Derail Trump’s Agenda with Two Key Senate Roles in 119th Congress for the Next Two Years

Senate Republicans have once again enabled RINO Mitch McConnell, gifting him the chairmanships of the Senate Rules Committee and the powerful Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense for the 119th Congress.

Despite concerns over McConnell’s mental acuity, his new roles position him to obstruct President Trump’s conservative agenda from within.

McConnell will now chair both the Senate Rules Committee and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense—roles that could give him significant influence over key legislative priorities.

RINO McConnell wasted no time declaring his intentions.

McConnell claimed he would “play an active role” in safeguarding America’s security interests and protecting political speech in elections. Yet, his track record suggests otherwise.

Under his leadership, Republicans have repeatedly capitulated to Democrats on critical spending bills, border security, and judicial appointments.

Now, as Chair of the Defense Subcommittee, McConnell will control the largest slice of discretionary federal spending—a position ripe for misuse by the establishment to fund endless wars and bloated Pentagon bureaucracies rather than prioritize the needs of the American people.

The Rules Committee chairmanship gives McConnell further authority to shape Senate operations, a role he claims will “defend the Senate as an institution.” Translation? More bureaucratic stonewalling of conservative priorities and greater deference to the swamp’s agenda.

Read his full statement below:

“America’s national security interests face the gravest array of threats since the Second World War. At this critical moment, a new Senate Republican majority has a responsibility to secure the future of U.S. leadership and primacy.

I intend to play an active role in this urgent mission as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, and I look forward to working closely with incoming Chair Susan Collins to accomplish our shared goal.

The Senate Rules Committee will also have important work to accomplish in the 119th Congress, and I look forward to leading it as Chairman. Defending the Senate as an institution and protecting the right to political speech in our elections remain among my longest-standing priorities.

Ranking Member Deb Fischer has done an outstanding job advancing these causes, and I know she will remain a key partner in the committee’s ongoing work.”

McConnell’s actions already show where his loyalties lie, and it’s not with the MAGA movement. The Gateway Pundit recently reported that McConnell has privately opposed President Trump’s potential use of recess appointments, a key strategy for overcoming Democrat obstruction.

In a now-deleted tweet, Jane Mayer of The New Yorker revealed McConnell’s declaration at a Washington gathering: “There will be no recess appointments.” This stance was confirmed by other reporters, including Andrew Desiderio of Punchbowl News.

Mitch McConnell was named as one of five RINO senators, alongside Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), and Sen.-elect John Curtis (R-UT), who plan to vote “no” on Matt Gaetz’s confirmation as Attorney General.

“Vaccine Skeptic”: A Manufactured Term to Suppress Inquiry

The mainstream media, along with the FDA and pharmaceutical companies, are predictably criticizing President Trump for supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr., labeling him a “vaccine skeptic.”

But being a skeptic simply means asking questions. When did asking questions become dangerous? When did science stop welcoming them? How can society progress if questioning the status quo is vilified?

This growing hostility toward skepticism is deeply troubling. It risks leaving society entirely dependent on “the experts,” where anyone who dares to challenge them is dismissed as a crackpot—and, under this mindset, those labeled crackpots are quickly silenced and deplatformed.

The FDA’s vaccine safety chief, Peter Marks, speaking at a healthcare conference in London, essentially said that Trump’s appointment of “vaccine skeptics” could serve as an opportunity to teach the world a lesson about the importance of vaccines. The assumption is that if vaccination rates drop, people will get sick and realize the FDA was right. Of course, if people don’t get sick, he’s unlikely to admit he was wrong.

Marks has expressed concern over President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known vaccine skeptic, for Secretary of Health and Human Services and the potential appointment of Dr. Marty Makary, a critic of COVID-19 booster approvals, as FDA Commissioner. Marks fears these choices could lead to shifts in public health policies and influence vaccine perceptions.

However, questioning the boosters makes sense, given that people who took the initial shots still contracted COVID, as did those who received multiple booster shots. Yet, they claim that RFK’s ideas are “dangerous.” Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon at Johns Hopkins, has also questioned the universal recommendation of COVID-19 booster shots, citing instances where vaccinated individuals still became infected. So, it seems that there are educated experts who support RFK’s position.

Apart from questioning vaccines, RFK has also argued that America should no longer add fluoride to drinking water. The mainstream reaction has been to lash out at him, label him a charlatan, and emphasize that fluoride prevents cavities. However, those who oppose fluoride in drinking water don’t dispute its role in cavity prevention. It’s widely accepted that brushing with fluoride toothpaste is important for good oral health.

The question RFK and others are raising is whether it’s necessary to fluoridate the drinking water. If you brush your teeth three times a day, isn’t that enough fluoride? Is it actually necessary to consume more fluoride every time you take a sip of water? And what about athletes? They tend to drink more water during and after exercise—does the evidence suggest they require more fluoride than the average person? These are legitimate questions that deserve thoughtful discussion.

Most developed countries do not fluoridate their water. In fact, only 25 nations have fluoridated water, and in 11 of those, not all water is fluoridated. The fact that people in the remaining 170 countries are not experiencing widespread tooth decay suggests that fluoridated water may not be necessary. According to a study published in Harvard Public Health, “Countries that do not fluoridate their water have also seen significant drops in the rate of cavities.”

According to Philippe Grandjean, adjunct professor of environmental health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health: “We should recognize that fluoride has beneficial effects on dental development and protection against cavities. But do we need to add it to drinking water so it gets into the bloodstream and potentially into the brain?” Apparently, even a Harvard professor is guilty of the heresy of skepticism.

This brings to mind how, during COVID, the “Covidians” often said, “Follow the science,” yet when someone pointed out contradictory scientific studies, the response was, “Not that science, stupid.”

The same Harvard paper outlines several critical points that must be addressed before continuing to add fluoride to drinking water. Perhaps the most crucial is: “We need to find out if there are populations highly vulnerable to fluoride in drinking water—bottle-fed infants whose formula is made with tap water, for example, or patients undergoing dialysis. If these individuals are at risk, their water must come from a source that is lower in fluoride.”

In previous eras, it was considered both normal and prudent to ask similar questions about vaccines, drugs, and chemicals. Why is it any different now?

While people like RFK are fighting an uphill battle against fluoride and vaccines, this week, the mainstream media ran an article about “virus hunters” searching for the next pandemic. These individuals are essentially funded by drug companies to find something frightening enough to serve as a marketing tool to convince people to buy a drug. Skepticism could disrupt these marketing efforts.

Skepticism is not only natural but also one of our key defenses against blindly following the crowd. Historically, rebels were the ones asking all the tough questions. Now, it seems the roles have flipped—conservatives are the ones questioning the narrative, while liberals are demanding that everyone go along with the crowd.
