You’d think corporate media would have stopped whining and been happy that, at long last, the House finally elected a new Speaker.

You really would think, after all the querulous carping they did all week, that reporters would now be happy to have a new Speaker. But I guess you just can’t please some liberals. This morning’s New York Times headline probably tells you everything you need to know about Representative Mike Johnson (R-La.), our terrific new Speaker of the House:

He’s not just a rightwing conservative. According to the Times, aptly-named Johnson is a hard-right conservative, which is infinitely better than a limp-right conservative, which as the ladies can attest, is more or less useless, not to mention unattractive.

For its part, having recovered from a brief fainting spell, the flaccid Washington Post called Mr. Johnson the very worst name in its entire “Slander for Dummies” playbook: a Trumpian election denier:

And you know what should happen to election deniers! Who are just like insurrectionists and other Civil War treason rats. Well, except for democrat ones, like Hillary Clinton or that plump lady from Georgia, whatshername.

You’ll be forgiven for not having noticed Representative Johnson before. He appears to be one of those quiet, effective ones, who get things done and stays out of the crosshairs. Until now, of course. But don’t underestimate him. It took a lot of respect from his peers and some skillful politicking to land the Speaker gig, especially with everything swirling around the nation’s toilet bowl the way it is these days.

For a sample of his political views, here’s what Mr. Johnson tweeted about censorship and the Twitter files:

The first item incoming Speaker Johnson brought to the House floor yesterday was a popular resolution affirming support for Israel and condemning Hamas that easily passed 412-10. Johnson has got a lot of work to do, what with a controversial budget deadline looming next month, and with Joe Biden sniffing everybody’s hair trying to find even more taxpayer money to send to the billionaire oligarchs losing Ukraine’s war.

After “congratulations,” and “good luck,” my message to the new speaker is: Fix Our Borders First.

Is YOUR Johnson Hard and Right ?
