A Progressive Stooge Tells You Why Speaker Mike Johnson Might Be the Best Speaker of the House Ever
Democrats always tell you who they fear. They can’t help it. It is likely why Donald Trump is so damn popular.

Tucker Carlson on the Speaker Kerfuffle in the US House – “It Should Be Hard to Become Speaker of the House”
I’ve weighed in on this US House Speaker thingamabob at NHJournal and on these pages, and I’m not in the minority. Not among Groksters or rank-and-file Republicans.

You do the best you can with what you’ve got until you can do better. But will they? I’m referring to the new slimmest of slim Republican majorities in the US House of Representatives. It’s all there is, but we’ve been here before with better numbers and been disappointed.

Liz Chaney played the establishment tune, chose the Lincoln Project Never-Trump narrative, and has been a darling of the Left for her willing participation in the Democrats J6 Star Chamber Dinner Theater. But she doesn’t want to have to pay a political price.
Republican Flips 85% Hispanic D+5 Texas Border Congressional District Running on Stricter Border Enforcement
