(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.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
