Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) committed “three betrayals” to lead to the upcoming vote to eject him from the speakership, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said Wednesday. Massie partnered with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who introduced the motion to vacate in April, to force the vote. They held a Wednesday press conference announcing their move, during which Massie outlined those three betrayals.

MTG and Thomas Massie held a great news conference that everyone should watch regarding Mike Johnson should go. Massie made a great point that Johnson could simply resign, and there would be no House disruption, as the House would continue with normal business. Conservatives will win nothing with Johnson as Speaker.

I'm an old man. I've been a Republican ever since forever. For what? Republicans are just quiet Democrats. I don't need both hands to count how many real Republicans there are in the Senate. I've watched the republican party crush conservative voices in an avalanche of ringers during primaries to allow their favorite rino get the nomination. I've been voting for these crooks for over 50 years, hoping and praying for a turnaround in our direction. We just keep sliding down the grater blade and there's less of us now than ever. The Democrats are the commies and the Republicans are the traitors and together they are the uniparty. This Johnson guy proves it. We're finished. There isn't enough time to save the Constitution. There isn't enough talent to save the nation. I'm not even sure we'll get to November at this rate. The end times have arrived...

Just my opinion but all Republicans need to stop eating our own and concentrate on taking the Senate and Presidency and expanding a majority in the House!

#4, I agree with what you say, but at some point our pubbie leaders have to quit dropping their drawers, bending over and grabbing their ankles in order to placate the insane leftist. What good does it do to 'go along to get along'?

In Matthew 23 Christ is speaking directly to scum like Mike Johnson...Woe be unto ye Hypocrites! (paraphrased) It would help him greatly to go back and reread the 20th chapter of Exodus, especially the part about "Bearing False Witness".

Speaker Mike Johnson's Popularity Is Soaring...Among Democrats 4 replies

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) popularity is soaring among the wrong party as he prepares to face a historic vote next week led by Republicans to remove his gavel and strip him of the Speakership. According to a RealClearPolitics poll average, Johnson has a 3.5 approval rating-- with 31.4 percent disapproving of his job as House Speaker and 27.6 percent approving. His approval rating continues to plummet among Republican voters as he gains favorability with Democrats— mostly due to his support

Reps. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Tom Tiffany (R-WI), and Scott Perry (R-PA), as well as dozens of Senate Republicans, are moving to prevent President Joe Biden from resettling Palestinians in American communities. In a letter to House Appropriators, Ogles, Tiffany, and Perry ask that a provision be included in the Fiscal Year 2025 spending bill that prohibits expenditures “of any funds to issue a visa or grant parole to any alien holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority.” The House Republicans write: Whatever fanciful leftist notion to the contrary, the United States of America cannot be expected to absorb the rest of the world’s problems.

The melee started after police confirmed approximately 30 anti-Israel demonstrators were detained for refusing to leave an encampment erected on campus, and Students for Justice in Palestine organized a walkout in protest. According to KVIA News, during the walkout, protesters tore down barricades and took down the American flag situated on the quad, and a Palestinian flag was raised in its place.

After a strong run in 2023 and early 2024, stock markets have been selling off lately. I cannot predict whether this market sell-off will continue, but I can state what has happened so far and speculate as to why it has happened and whether it will continue. In my opinion, anyone who says he can do more than speculate is deceived or lying. After closing at an all-time high of 5,254 on March 28, the S&P 500, a broad measure of the U.S. stock market, fell to 4,967 (as of April 21).

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Thursday on his show “Morning Joe” that viewers should change the channel if they were too stupid to realize that the protests on college campuses are hurting President Joe Biden’s chances of winning in November. Discussing the Vietnam War protests, Scarborough said, “I was young and remember my parents asking, what in the world is going on in this country? And, of course, you know, they were raised in the Great Depression and rural Georgia. It was kind of hard for them to hear rich kids on the campus of Harvard are taking over or taking over campuses at Columbia.”

Police officers behaved admirably by arresting many “radical left,” anti-Israel “lunatics” on the campuses of Columbia University and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), former President Donald Trump said Thursday. Police arrested hundreds of protestors in recent days. Early Tuesday morning, Columbia University students seized a university building, smashing windows and lowering an “Intifada” banner. Police forcibly reclaimed the buildings later in the day.

Washington— Former President Donald Trump has secured an additional $1.6 billion worth of shares in Trump Media, according to a regulatory filing this week. Based on the company’s stock hitting certain price benchmarks, Trump was awarded an additional 36 million shares in the company that owns his social media platform Truth Social. That brings his total ownership to more than 114 million shares, which based on Wednesday’s closing stock price, are worth about $5.2 billion. For now, the value of those shares is considered “paper wealth.” Trump is prohibited from selling any shares for six months after Trump Media went public without securing a waiver from the company’s board.

Former President Donald Trump has been having some serious sit-down meetings with some significant national leaders, and it's annoying the Biden administration. These kinds of meetings aren't all that unusual during presidential elections, but as usual, Donald Trump is doing this his way: In less than two months, Trump has hosted Polish President Andrzej Duda, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso and David Cameron, the former British prime minister who now serves as the U.K.’s foreign secretary. He’s also talked with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and others by phone. It’s not unusual for a party nominee to meet with foreign officials —

About half of Americans, 53%, say they are extremely or very concerned that news organizations will report inaccuracies or misinformation during the election.

While Blinken ostensibly represents America's national interests abroad, his job in Israel is all about Presidentish Joe Biden's reelection bid — and how Israeli's defensive military actions in the Gaza Strip are complicating things for Biden at home. Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in hopes, once more, of getting a temporary ceasefire with Hamas. A truce would "give us something to build on," Blinken said. Who is this "us," Kemosabe, and what are we trying to build? Hamas has rejected every offer for a ceasefire
