Loading ...JEFF CHILDERS ON SPEAKER JOHNSON
Speaker Johnson is a man for the season.
On Friday, the Hill ran a story about the terrific new Speaker headlined, “Johnson throws down gauntlet on Israel-Ukraine spending battle.”

At last! The Hill gloomily predicted that Ukraine funding now faces an “increasingly complicated road ahead.”
Hopefully!
On Thursday, Speaker Johnson (R-La.) told Sean Hannity that Ukraine funding would only be considered in the House after certain conditions are satisfied by the White House:
“We have a stewardship responsibility to the precious treasure of the American people. We want to know: what is the objective here? What is the end game? (Republicans) came up with a document that presents twelve critical questions for the White House to answer as a condition of our supplying more support. These are not hard questions, Sean. I delivered it myself to Jake Sullivan.”
Johnson also remarked that any more Ukraine funding would have to be paid for by cuts in other areas, and that Republicans would not consider borrowing or printing money to fund the struggling country’s border defense. Good luck finding $100 billion from other porcine parts of the budget.
RUMBLE: Here’s the entire Sean Hannity interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson (40:04). It’s worth a listen.
I sure like the ways things are going in the House. It looks a whole lot like more progress.

Words are sooooo nice.
Unfortunately, actions suck. Biz as usual in spending, wars, etc.

1. Where are the budget cuts? (Actual cuts, not decreases in spending increases)
2. Where are the J6 tapes?
3. Where is the investigation/pardoning of the J6 political prisoners?
4.Where are the impeachment charges for Biden?
5. Where are the treason charges for Let’s Go Brandon?
6. Where is the defunding of the 86,000 IRS agents?
7. Where is the defunding of the FBI?
8. Where is the funding for the border wall?
That’s for starters. So far, crickets.
Ignore the words, watch what they do. How many times do we have to learn that lesson? If their lips move, they are lying.
He’s been on the Job for less than a week. His predisessor is responsible for that lack of action
He has a very tiny majority and need every one of his Caucus on side for anything he does.
Better wait a couple months before you pass judgement
