Author Herman Wouk captured well how to understand heroism. “Heroes are not supermen; they are good men who embody — by the cast of destiny — the virtue of their whole people in a great hour,” observed Wouk. We have today an American hero in the name of House Speaker Mike Johnson. Anyone with eyes open knows the world today is a very dangerous place. 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...

"I regard myself as a wartime Speaker," declared House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. Only, we’re not sure if Johnson was referring to the internecine war among Republicans over whether he should keep his job. Many members wear pocket squares with their suits. But not Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky. He walks around with a self-made, diode "debt clock" tucked into the breast pocket of his jacket, tracking the skyrocketing debt.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is having another bad week, and it’s only Tuesday. He got the Republican conference together Tuesday morning to present his complicated plan for the House to vote on aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The business of the day was derailed by Rep.
