The whole thing is out of control.


After listening to the first 10 minutes of this episode of the War Room, I had to turn it off. I am so disgusted with the weak, spineless, lilly livered, cowardly Republicans. Listen to the podcast to see what I am talking about.

So, you think MTG is doing the right thing with not more than 2 months left in this session? If we end up with Jeffries, not good.


Tough call. Principals vs. Pragmatism. Johnson is doing everything Democratic House Speaker would do, and destroying the reason for people to vote Republican in the process. He truly epitomizes the uniparty at work. I would rather see the RINO's exposed for their vote to put a Democrat in place as speaker, and let the American public decide the fate of the RINO's in November, than what is happening now.

My only concern is that the voting process is so corrupt, that I have zero confidence in the integrity of the process. So, in the end, what difference does it make?

MY COMMENT: After listening to the first 1.5 minutes of Carlson's video, I had to turn it off. Listen to what he had to say about the $95 Billion Foreign Aid package that our country (with a $34 Trillion national debt) just passed under the leadership of House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Perhaps he is voting his conscience, or perhaps he is simply gullible and believes the lies of his CIA puppet masters, or perhaps he is otherwise compromised. I do not pretend to know the motivations of Mike Johnson.

But what I do know, is that he is the Democrats best friend, and they along with the RINO's in Washington will bail him out and protect his position until January 2025.

Let's take a quick look at what Mike Johnson has done (or rather hasn't done) since he become Speaker of the House in October of 2023:

1. In November 2023, after Congress passed a two-step CR with Jan. 19 and Feb. 2 appropriations deadlines, speaker Johnson stated, “I’m done with short term CRs”. On January 19,j the GOP-led House passed a continuing resolution (CR) to extend current federal funding levels to avoid a government shutdown, despite House Speaker Johnson having previously vowed not to pursue any more temporary spending bills.

In fact, Congress has passed four continuing resolutions since the new fiscal year began to avert a government shutdown amid an inability of the Senate and House of Representatives to agree on the contents of 12 permanent appropriations bills for the year. Leaders of both party caucuses in both houses announced a deal on Feb. 28 to pass two consolidated bills, known as “minibus” bills, comprising six appropriations bills each.

2. The Southern border remains wide open because Johnson has refused to use his leverage as House Speaker and use the power of the purse to stop the illegal flow of migrants across our border.

3. Legislation to reform FISA Section 702 and stop the FBI’s warrantless spying on innocent Americans was blocked by Johnson. The competing bills would have imposed the requirement for the government to get a warrant (as specified in the 4th amendment of the US Constitution) before spying on American citizens.

4. The CBO estimates that the Federal Budget deficit will increase by $1.6 Trillion for fiscal 2024

5. Politico is reporting that "Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), Johnson’s handpicked choice to take over the House Appropriations Committee after Rep. Kay Granger’s (R-TX) resignation in March, wants to “unlock the possibility of more earmarks”, despite the fact that House Republicans banned the practice of earmarking in 2011 after the Republican Tea Party takeover. Why? Because "earmarks give leadership a powerful tool to coerce skeptical lawmakers to endorse massive multi-trillion dollar spending packages. Lawmakers are incentivized to look the other way and disregard the fiscal responsibility planks of their campaign platforms when their districts get a cut of the loot."

"Johnson, after delivering crushing defeats to conservatives on government funding, warrantless spying on Americans, and Ukraine aid, is reportedly setting his sights on expanding earmarks.

Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), Johnson’s handpicked choice to take over the House Appropriations Committee after Rep. Kay Granger’s (R-TX) resignation in March, wants to “unlock the possibility of more earmarks,” Politico reports.

The outlet says Cole wants to expand the use of earmarks, specifically in the massive Labor-HHS-Education funding bill — the largest non-defense funding bill — a move that could unlock hundreds of millions in earmarks. The House did not allow earmarks in the funding bill in 2023.

Cole, in making clear his opinion, said Johnson would be the decider. “Whatever the speaker comes back with is what I’ll be supporting,” Cole said. ....

Johnson’s move also comes during widespread speculation regarding promises he may have made to Democrats to keep him safe if he brought Ukraine funding to the floor.

With Johnson running the show, Democrats are getting all the spoils of the majority without any of the responsibility.

Johnson made history by using Democrats to pass a procedural rule to bring Ukraine aid to the floor. More Democrats supported that rule than Republicans, meaning Democrats, despite being in the minority, set the agenda of the House floor.

House Republicans banned the practice of earmarking in 2011 after the Republican Tea Party takeover. The practice had long become associated with wasteful pork barrel spending, most exemplified by Alaska’s “bridge to nowhere.”

In practice, earmarks give leadership a powerful tool to coerce skeptical lawmakers to endorse massive multi-trillion dollar spending packages. Lawmakers are incentivized to look the other way and disregard the fiscal responsibility planks of their campaign platforms when their districts get a cut of the loot.

The Appropriations Committee has little time to craft each of the twelve funding bills for the next fiscal year, which begins October 1. Congress did not finish the current fiscal year’s bill until late March, almost six months past the original deadline.

MY COMMENT: This is what happens when you have disfunctional leadership in charge!

"Democratic governors are vetoing election integrity legislation passed by Republican-led state legislatures, despite allegations, investigations, and convictions of election fraud occurring across the U.S. Those convictions require proof "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the crime, in fact, occurred.

Over the last few months, Democratic governors in Arizona, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have vetoed legislation that Republican-led state legislatures passed to help secure elections, arguing that their concerns are unfounded or their solutions unnecessary. However, there has been recent election fraud investigations and convictions in those states that led to the passing of the legislation.

MY COMMENT: You can read the specific details at the link below. The actions of these Democratic Governors show that they are willing to use all means possible, legal and "ILLEGAL" in order to win and retain power.

https://www.thepublica.com/sheetz-convenience-stores-accused-of-discriminating-against-minority-job-applicants-by-refusing-to-consider-applicants-with-criminal-record/

On April 18, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Sheetz Inc., accusing the 24/7 convenience store chain of having discriminatory hiring practices that targeted minority applicants.

As a result, the EEOC is accusing Sheetz of “disproportionately screening out Black, Native American/Alaska Native and multiracial applicants.”

This is despite the fact that the lawsuit does not allege that Sheetz’s hiring practices were motivated by race.

According to the EEOC press release, Sheetz’s hiring practices violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits workplace discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion and national origin. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.

“Federal law mandates that employment practices causing a disparate impact because of race or other protected classifications must be shown by the employer to be necessary to ensure the safe and efficient performance of the particular jobs at issue,” said EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence.

“Even when such necessity is proven, the practice remains unlawful if there is an alternative practice available that is comparably effective in achieving the employer’s goals but causes less discriminatory effect.” MY COMMENT: Such as what?????

We give Elon Musk the last word...

You know The Joker is running things when the law-abiding are being prosecuted by the government for not hiring criminals!

Speaker Johnson has done a great job!
Speaker John has done his best preserving the GOP party, and the cooperation among the Democrats. The Bill that just passed was not perfect, but there is no bill that can pass without the Democrat party's approval. There are many rhinos at the GOP!


GOP has a very slim margin over the Democrats. There was 1 controversial issue, but most of in the bills were necessary, relevant to the issues we are trying to solve.

The issues on that bill which were needed. Funding of Israel; Control of the TikTok which pose dangers to our security, the aid to Taiwan. The Ukraine was controversial.

The border bill is essential. Yes, I can see that. When Donald Trump was president, 2017-2020, he was able to control the border without added funding. Fact was the walls he did creative ways to continue building with no funding. Those Trump border policies were all reversed by Joe Biden once he entered the 1st day at the WH.

If Trump could control illegals without added funding, why can't Biden do it. Because Biden don't want to enforce it.

Biden wants more money to use for buying votes. Mayorkas has done a very poor job.

We will issue another bill that will fund the border as long Democrats wall sign it.

Speaker Johnson, despite a very slim majority, he used a very effective leadership style. What is effective leadership? Effective leadership in a very tight condition like this must provide a room to the opponent in order to achieve a win-win situation, and to carry on a project productively.

If they insist removing Ukraine, democrats won't sign any bill, and that is even worse and many other bills to present are in jeopardy.

We make sure that border wall funding must all be used to the purpose intended, not for Biden's buying votes, before we present that. Mayorkas wanted more money for the border. He is arrogant, an idiot and should have been impeached.

NO, I don't like Marjorie Green big mouthing and insisting to pass a border bill which will never be passed, unless we sign the Ukraine bill. Therefore she will lose everything. She has a huge mouth but does not have leadership skills. She focusses on her ambitions to take over the Speakership position. NO, she is not qualified to handle and does not know effective leadership especially on this very tight situation.

Speaker Johnson did a great job doing that, knowing without giving a little room for the Democrats, nothing could be done.

With that recent bill 75% was favorable and 25% not. The fact that we have a slim margin over the Dems.

So, please we GOP must UNITE Rhinos, Oh, I am glad that Liz Cheney was gone! They must not think for personal matters alone, but for the country they are hired to work for. We the people pay them. I pay so much taxes and I must ensure they are used to benefit the country and finally all of us. NOT INDIVIDUAL AMBITIONS!

NO other GOP Rep. is more qualified than Speaker Johnson. Anybody who could present a better solution, I want them to challenge me! Otherwise, they must shut up!

You say "If they insist removing Ukraine, democrats won't sign any bill, and that is even worse and many other bills to present are in jeopardy." Fine by me.

The Biden administration's foreign policy failures continue to mount.

"The administration's announcement Friday about the withdrawal came two days after Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz announced on the House floor that his office composed an interim whistleblower report about what he called a "cover-up" that "exists to conceal the humiliating failures of the Biden administration in Niger, throughout Africa and throughout the world."

He said that the Biden administration left 1,100 U.S. troops "functionally stranded" in Niger, where they have been "pleading for help," as they have been unable to receive potable water, medical care and other basic supplies. However, the U.S. Embassy in Niger has been blocking reports about the dire conditions, Gaetz also said.

Despite this reported lack of basic supplies and military activities at the base, operations there still cost U.S. taxpayers $1 million a month, per the Gaetz report."

Continuation:
Here is the breakdown of the $61 billion to be sent to Ukraine.
About $61 billion for Ukraine and replenishing U.S. weapons stockpiles. The overall amount provided to Ukraine for the purchase of weapons would be $13.8 billion. Ukraine would receive more than $9 billion of economic assistance in the form of “forgivable loans."


"There were 101 Republicans who supported Ukrainian aid while 112 Republicans opposed the expensive package. Even though the majority of House Republicans dissented, Johnson ensured its passage. Resisting the will of most of his Republican colleagues, and millions of GOP activists nationwide, has become a hallmark of Johnson’s tenure as House Speaker."

It will be telling if the effort to remove Johnson as House Speaker by conservative Republicans fails because he is saved by Democratic votes.
