(DCNF)—Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas blasted a set of newly proposed internal rules for the House on Wednesday that penalize members who go against the wider GOP party position.
New York Republican Rep. Nick LaLota proposed an amendment that would strip GOP members of committee assignments if they vote against the party position on procedural floor votes. Republican Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden pushed another punitive measure that would remove members who vote to vacate a House speaker without a party majority, according to a list of proposed rule amendments obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The proposals have revealed a rift in the GOP, receiving fierce backlash from Roy, who is policy chair of the House Freedom Caucus.
“I represent 750,000 Texans… not my colleagues,” Roy told the DCNF. “We should be focused on developing and delivering on President Trump’s agenda — not wasting time with counterproductive efforts demanding we hand over our voting cards to ‘the party.’ That will never happen.”

The proposals, which House Republicans are voting on Wednesday, come after Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson from his role in May. Johnson has said he does not support the “punitive” measures.
“I have made clear to members, as I’ve been having discussion with them, that I am not in favor of punitive measures and rules,” Johnson told Politico Tuesday. “I don’t think we will have a need for party discipline and I expect everybody to be working on singing from the same sheet of music.”
Roy has proposed two rules amendments of his own, according to the list of amendment proposals. One aims to limit the amount of time GOP leadership can spend updating its members, while the other posits a “majority of the majority”-rule that would allow, “any member to offer a privileged motion to hold a roll call vote in a Republican Conference meeting on any pending bill…to determine whether it has the support” of the GOP majority.

How to Prepare for Food Emergencies if You Don’t Have a Homestead or Bunker
In an unpredictable world, where supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, or economic instability can strike without warning, having a reliable food supply is more than just smart—it’s essential for survival. Whether you’re a “prepper” or not, we all know the golden rule: self-sufficiency is key. But what if you’re living in an apartment, working long hours, or simply don’t have the land to turn into a thriving homestead? Don’t worry; there’s a practical, effective way to build your food security without needing acres of soil or a fortified bunker.
The Ideal Prep: Building Your Own Food Empire
The ultimate dream for any serious prepper is controlling your own food production. Imagine waking up to a sprawling garden bursting with fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs—tomatoes ripening on the vine, potatoes ready to harvest, and greens that provide nutrition year-round. Add in livestock like chickens for eggs and meat, and you’ve got a self-sustaining system that keeps your family fed no matter what chaos unfolds outside.
This approach isn’t just about calories; it’s about resilience. A well-maintained garden can yield hundreds of pounds of produce annually, while a small flock of chickens might produce dozens of eggs weekly. It’s empowering, cost-effective in the long run, and teaches invaluable skills like crop rotation, animal husbandry, and preservation techniques. If you have the space, time, and resources, starting small and scaling up is the best path to true independence.
The Reality Check: Not Everyone Can Homestead
But let’s face it—not all of us are in a position to go full homesteader. Urban dwellers might be limited to a balcony or community plot that’s far from sufficient for long-term needs. Busy professionals juggling jobs, families, and daily life often lack the hours required for daily tending. And for those in apartments, condos, or regions with harsh climates, raising livestock or maintaining a large garden simply isn’t feasible. Factors like zoning laws, soil quality, water access, or even physical limitations can make this ideal out of reach.
That’s where the frustration sets in. You want to be prepared, but without a homestead or bunker, how do you ensure your pantry doesn’t run dry during a prolonged crisis? The good news is, you don’t have to sacrifice your preparedness goals. There’s a smart, accessible alternative that bridges the gap: investing in high-quality, long-term storage food.

Chip Roy the wayward and bombastic son you don’t know whether to hug or smack. I understand his principled approach to life and politics, but damn son, you have got to learn how to play the game! There are going to be rules and people that frustrate to starch out of you, but learn to beat them at their own game.
One other thought; stop pissing off the players on your own team! You have alienated a lot of folks that could and would have made you a lot more influential, than you currently are, if you simply kept your comments and criticisms in house.
I ask you not compromise your principles, but learn how to play the game. Then you will be a force and stronger spokesperson for your party.
Good luck.
Maybe Chip is more concerned with People & America
He Represents People of Texas & USA.

So fed up and weary of the feckless freedom caucus. Staunch conservatives still have no representation. This caucus is a bunch of clowns 🤡. And the rnc overall is still infested with worthless RINOs. Rnc still broken. Not fixed at all. Conservatives have no home and remain without representation.
One of the big problems with the GOP in the past has been that they cannot stick together like the Ds have done. It is rare that Ds dissent, but common for the GOP. This is why the first 2 years of Trumps 1st Admin was an abject failure.
GOP needs to have tools to form a consensus, but it has to be fair.
Rep. Roy properly opposes proposed rules from RINOs to enforce their version of party loyalty. Those proposals are the dying gasp of a failed regime. Constitutional conservatism is rising, and those who want to restrain Leviathan, limiting the powers of the federal government to those 18 specifically enumerated in the Constitution, will struggle mightily against the hirelings of big Pharma, the defense-intelligence cartel, and the leftist donor class to restore America for Americans. No amount of name-calling from the old guard will deter loyal conservative Americans from the struggle to restore freedom to our land.
