The overwhelming congressional votes for aid to Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine show just how out of touch the isolationists and Ukraine skeptics on both ends of the American political spectrum are. They also show why it was inexcusable for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to wait so long to engineer passage of the aid bills. Nonetheless, […]
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has laid it all on the table: He’s staking his speakership—and his cozy relationship with Donald Trump—on aid to Ukraine, and putting his fate in the hands of Democrats. Democrats, in turn, are not going to make it easy for him. In an impassioned speech Wednesday, Johnson argued that getting aid to Ukraine was paramount, even if putting that bill on the floor will likely trigger a move to oust him. “This is a critical time right now, a critical time on the...

Johnson, a conservative Republican and a devout Christian, knows that the way for it to become even more dangerous is for the leader of the...

Speaker Johnson's Ignominious Betrayal Authored by David Stockman via David Stockman's Contra Corner, Speaker Johnson’s ignominious betrayal of fiscal sanity might well be the death knell for the GOP. He is apparently risking his speakership on behalf of $95 billion of foreign aid boondoggles that Uncle Sam cannot remotely afford, and which actually provide zero benefit to the homeland security of America.

The article alleges that Johnson was a “mole” for the House Freedom Caucus to infiltrate the larger Republican congressional groups, and with the way things have been going, Glenn Beck is wondering if there’s a chance the article may have been right.
