“What Do They Have On Him?” (VIDEO

Original Article

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene aired speculative concerns regarding Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent political actions, suggesting a potential blackmail situation to explain what she perceives as a radical departure from his known conservative stances. [Snip] ... people are literally asking, is he blackmailed? [Snip] He completely changed who he was, funded the FBI, gave them a brand new building, fully funded the Department of Justice that is persecuting everyone on the right and actually targeting a presidential candidate for election this year. Literally trying to put him in jail for the rest of his life. We don’t know who Mike Johnson is anymore.”

Hmmmm. I admit I had never considered blackmail. But it makes sense. Actually the ONLY thing that makes sense. Perilous times.

#2~ As a devout Christian, being on the take is not very likely for this man. If there is “something” behind this change, some would suggest there is a consideration other than blackmail.

I think most in Washington are being blackmailed. That's why most Republicans are neutered. Hillary read everyone's FBI file. I figured she'd have a good use for that information.

#6, Then you explain it. We watch this happen time and time again. Good people go to Washington and once they are there do a 180. How do you lose your moral underpinnings that quickly? It would make anyone question what is happening. At this time when the contrast between the right and left is so stark it is unimaginable that anyone could not understand the ramification of each vote. However, to have the Speaker just go off the rails is unconscionable. MTG is right, he has given the democrats everything they wanted. Was Johnson just pretending to be conservative and betrayed us? I doubt that was the case, but I know one thing, I got a terrible vibe when he had the meeting with Paul Ryan. What was that all about?! I believe if we knew a fraction of what was really going on behind the scenes in Washington DC, we would be devastated that such people could rise to such levels of prominence. I realize that MGT appears to be a bomb thrower but she is right so many times and her courage to speak out is admirable. The problem is that the rot is so endemic and deeply rooted that anyone exposing it looks like a kook. It has become normal. If we had men and women of integrity in Washington DC at all levels, this country would look very different. We now have a corrupt city filled with deep state operatives whose jobs are to manage the show and they are very good at it. They are in the business of preservation of a way of life they have created in order to make the will of the people irrelevant and whatever it takes for them to achieve it is whatever they will do. Seriously, do we even have a Constitutional Representative Republic? It certainly does not appear that way. When the people want one objective and your representatives impose another, that is tyranny.

Why the endless committees with no results other than good photo ops? Why the reach across the aisle always results in a poorer less free Americans?

I'm always amazed at how absolutely obtuse the republican base can be. The base believes that by being in the majority, they should get everything they want with no compromise. Forgetting that the governing majority is a majority of ONE vote and that the majority is a coalition of Republicans who rarely stick together, unlike the democrats. It's just easier to blame the speaker.

When one's principles are flexible, one is easily bent over. Actually, I think it works like this: a well-meaning, but fatally naive person enters politics. Once they become prominent---and therefore a threat to the existing power structure---they are made an offer they can't refuse. It goes like this: take this carrot (payoff) or get the stick (exposure of criminal, or embarrassing info), Apparently, it works every time.

Yeah, I don't know either what is behind the curtain when trying to understand Speaker Johnson's actions. But also keep in mind that Steve Scalise is the pubbie's House majority leader and Hakeem Jeffries is the dims' minority leader. So whatever deals Scalise brings to Johnson's level already favors Jeffries and the dims. So, it appears that the rot is deep within the pubbie House caucus. All I know is if the pubbie caucus manages to p'off Johnson and he resigns, the pubbies lose control of the House thanks to Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin who decided to stick to Trump and his fellow pubbies by resigning later this month. Think about that for a minute given the various corruption investigations against the biden crime family. The dims would stop these investigations in a New York minute and biden the cheater and his druggie son Hunter would skate. And the Great Election Fraud of 2024 can be put into motion.

I believe that many congress people, and the SC, and judges, AG's and many others that have anything to do with this government are being blackmailed. I would have more respect for these people if they all came forward and admitted this. Give the reason, but spill the beans. Only way to stop this. Then let the people decide . most likely those being blackmailed were set up. Get the truth out there. Stop this now. would be a huge mess, but it would stop the corruption But, this is just my opinion.

It is distressing that Marjory Taylor Green and Matt Gaetz are adopting the tactics of the Democrats by accusing their enemies of malfeasance without an iota of evidence. One might think that both these loud mouths are working for Hakeem Jeffries. Certainly they are working to end Republican control of the House.

I believe we had a clear majority in the House and Senate from 2017 - 2019 and thanks to Leader Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell - not much was accomplished. Certainly not funding the Wall, failed to repeal Obamacare, etc. No, Republicans whether they have a one person majority or a sizable majority - just do not want to respect the desires of their constituents and run away from yielding power.

What 21 said. Republicans have acquiesced to democrats at too many critical junctures when they had a majority. If they’d fought for the things they said they would when they campaigned, Gaetz and MTG wouldn’t even be a factor. The term “Swamp” stuck for a reason.

I'm beginning to think that MTG is a stealth democrat. She correctly surmised that by making loud MAGA-themed noises, she would enjoy the unquestioning support of a majority of Trump supporters, but looking closely at what she advocates, she's off on her own tangent. She is primarily a bomb thrower, with no significant legislative accomplishments. Has Trump come out and called for defunding the FBI and DOJ - or does Trump plan on major reforms pushing at FBI, DOJ, DoD, and DHS? I do not trust MTG and would cringe to see her in the House Speaker position. Perhaps what is going on with Johnson is that the Speaker is reverting back to the mean, like Speaker McCarthy did, after the ultra-extreme partisanship of Pelosi's tenure. The mean, which includes compromise, made America great for al most 250 years. During those two and a half centuries, the political pendulum has never remained pegged to one side or the other for very long. Our Constitution, you know, the one many of us swore to protect and defend, has had the effect of preventing single party rule in perpetuity. Of course, the mass importation of tens of millions of third worlders may have changed that calculus going forward.

Finland’s Supreme Court has announced it will take up a contentious case against a Christian politician who has faced a years-long legal battle for sharing her biblical views on sexuality. Dr. Päivi Räsänen, the Finnish politician who was once again victorious in court this past November, will continue her battle after the prosecutor appealed to the nation’s high court. [Snip] In the trial that concluded in November, Räsänen said the prosecutor argued she’s allowed to “believe in her mind whatever about the Bible, but it is illegal to express it outwardly.”

A new study out of UCLA says same-sex couples are at greater “risk of exposure to the adverse effects of climate change” than straight couples. These effects include “wildfires, floods, smoke-filled skies, and drought,” according to a report from KQED. Same-sex couples disproportionately live in coastal regions and cities, which are more vulnerable to such disasters. They’re also more likely “to live in areas with poor infrastructure, worse-built environments.” Washington DC, which rates high for “climate risks” such as heat waves, floods, and “dangerously strong winds,” has the greatest proportion of gay couples in the U.S. San Francisco ranks second, and also faces a high climate change risk.

An unofficial report from U.S. Customs and Border Protection reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed that nearly 700 migrants from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were apprehended entering the San Diego region in the third week of April. Since the fiscal year began in October, more than 26,000 migrants from the PRC have been apprehended. A CBP source, not authorized to speak to the media, told Breitbart Texas the number of Chinese migrants apprehended represents a more than threefold increase from the same time last year. The source told Breitbart that China is now within the top ten nationalities encountered by the Border Patrol along the southern border.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Saturday crushed a putsch by far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Republican rebels — pushing through a $95.3 billion aid package that funds the fight against Russia, the defense of Israel and resistance against China. Lawmakers in a rare bipartisan effort overwhelmingly approved the four-bill package, including one measure providing $60.8 billion for Ukraine. About 80% of that money will go toward replenishing supplies of US-made weapons and ammunition and other direct military assistance. Another $9.5 billion is in the form of a forgivable loan. The bill passed 311-112 with all “nay” votes coming from Republicans, including Greene who was hailed as “Moscow Marjorie” by

Joe Biden already turned over the Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan to Taliban terrorists in September 2021. Biden abandoned Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years in July by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ secret departure more than two hours after they left. The Taliban quickly took control of Bagram Air Base, which is only 30 miles north of Kabul, on August 15th and released thousands of terrorists held at its prison.
