God works in ways that are unpredictable; not in our expected time-frames; and sometimes unfathomable. Such is the case of the past few weeks of seemingly chaotic disunity among conservatives in the House of Representatives.
Was ousting the former Speaker McCarthy necessary? Absolutely! Through the muck and the mire, conservatives in the House came together and unanimously chose Mike Johnson as the new Speaker of the House. Well, at least they voiced their “yea” votes on the House floor…but Who was really responsible? As Mike Johnson approached the podium with his Bible in hand, he first gave the glory to God and cited Scripture about Who really puts rulers in place:
“For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.” Romans 13:1
Since we have kicked God to the curb in all aspects of our society, and especially in government, He decided to shake things up a bit. He used Gaetz and the gang to stir the pot, and allowed the public display of floundering and dysfunction on the part of conservatives to gain world-wide attention, and cast much doubt on any hope of unity. Then God selected Mike Johnson, a devout Christian, patriot, family man, lover of the Constitution, and a MAGA conservative to take the reins and get back to doing the right job, for the right reasons, at just the right time. All the while, the left is tearing their hair out and dumbfounded that their plan to keep the chaos going has come to an end.
Johnson was a shining light during the Trump impeachment hearings. If he remains humble and dedicated to God and country, our future is a bit more hopeful than it was a few weeks ago. Keep our nation and its leaders in prayer!
“For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.” Romans 11:36

Johnson will alleviate any concerns and also gain conservative confidence. A man of integrity and standing by and living HIS own beliefs. I’m tired of seeing the left accuse him of being a puppet of Trump because he felt the election was stolen and had the guts to make it known. He reports to a much higher authority than most politicians who are nothing but political prostitutes.

The only thing that will keep the “R”s from winning the majority in the house is rigged elections. Too many people continue to write off just how corrupt the election process in this country has become. Voter fraud and election tampering isn’t a “conspiracy theory”; it IS a conspiracy…period! There is a mountain of not only circumstantial, but direct, forensic evidence that has been completely ignored or scoffed at by the courts, the msm and politicians that are too complicit, compromised, compensated or just plain cowardly to address. Pretending the steal of 2020 didn’t really happen won'[t make fixed elections go away. In fact, it will make it worse. This country is being intentionally demolished from within (as well as externally) and its future as a Constitutional Republic is very, VERY much in doubt…due largely in part by people that just want to look the other way. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Although McCarthy is from my area in California, lot of us in the area thought he had abandoned the conservative values we cherish in this part of the most screwed up Blue state in the nation. He was just going to go along with previous GOP mindset and kick the can down the road. Granted Gaetz and his followers have given us a wild ride in the past 3 weeks, but the selection of Mike Johnson, true conservative, God fearing and a true Constitutionalist gives us hope. Republicans must unite in the coming weeks on all items they will vote on, and by doing so might even get some Dems to assist them push these line items through. Time to hang tough. Biden and his minions have destroyed this country and if they keep screwing around with the likes of Iran and China, a world war is not out of the picture. Time to get it together and get this country back.

It’s not just about winning the election, it’s about winning it with the right people and more of the same uni-party types is not going to save the country and we better start realizing that. Republicans who sell out the conservative views of change back to the way this country needs to be governed is most important. McCarthy was not out to change but to continue in the same old way allowing the lobbyists to run our country by funneling our hard earned wages and taxes to big tech and the pharmaceutical and defense industries. If we don’t get spending under control real soon this country will cease to exist! Just look at what is going on here folks!

The people calling the replacement of the RINO McCarthy are some of the most politically non astute people I have ever seen. McCarthy is liar and a back-dealing RINO. Good riddance. Every patriot that loves this Republic owes Rep. Gaetz a resounding thanks. Politics is a rough and tumble endeavor, if you’re uncomfortable or embarrassed with the recent struggle within the Party, maybe politics isn’t for you.

But this is ok by our government as the tax payers will pick up the tab. How about running a country on a month to month (maybe) basis. No budget, just kick the can down the road. Oh, and have you been to the grocery store lately? There is our government in action. Inflation is killing us. I just shut down bird feeding, one of our great enjoyments, as the price for feed is up about 50%. Now we are in several wars spending our money, that we don’t have, and kicking the can again. I love this country that we used to have but this is not that country any longer.

Rush said he knew we were in trouble when the phrase Make America Great Again was controversial — that we were no longer a people who simply had a different idea about how to accomplish that goal.
As far as I can tell, we have basically 3 (maybe 4) types of people in congress:
1) those who want to destroy America — or “fundamentally transform” it by tearing it down and building it back “better.”
2) those who think the D.C. institutions are a career path to enrich themselves and their families.
3) those who truly care about America and believe in the fairness of our constitution.
4) the “maybe 4” are those whose insecurities and egos are sustained by the lofty “position” of congressperson (think, from bartender to D.C. star).
The vote in the House simply revealed who is who. And now we know the process of replacement took so long because McCarty just kept backstabbing people through the whole process. Congress will do a much better and more honest job without the fear of McCarthy retaliations.

McCarthy was a wolf in sheeps clothing and never intended to honor any agreement with Conservatives. It was obvious in his actions as speaker. Also, when he expected the Leftists to have his back that was making a deal with the Devil. He got what he deserved. Then when Gaetz announced all the back stabbing he was doing proved he was a GOP/RINO with a leftist bent.
There is no gain without pain; there is no progress without upheaval; there is no strong foundation built upon sand. IFF we lose the house, then it will be lost after putting our best foot forward. Then we regroup after identifying the weaknesses based upon Truth. It is similar to losing an election; I would rather lose in a fair fight than to lose being cheated. Phuque the GOP/RINO leftists!

Think about it. In January, 2023, the new majority in the House Republican Caucus took 15 rounds to elect McCarthy as Speaker. At that, it was tied to a list of promises he signed on to secure that position. Fast forward 10 months and it was clear he had no intentions of fulfilling those promises. Thankful that Rep. Matt Gaetz, and the other 7 (including Rep Tim Burchett) stepped up to the plate to fire McCarthy of the role of Speaker. All the drama that ensure exposed the ugly side of politics in a way we never expected and a blessing to true Republican conservatives. As it turns out, it was McCarthy sabotaging the process of selecting a new Speaker, be it Scalise, Jordan or even Emmer because in the end, he expected to retake the Speakership. The names of the House members working with him was released each time votes were taken. So they are all exposed for their manipulative behavior. Yes, it was messy and ugly but now we know. We know McCarthy was given millions of dollars from political PACS and other unsavory sources. He distributed much of it in the 2022 primaries of candidates that were not America First candidates, thwarting the “Red Wave” effort many had worked for. Conservatives now have an opportunity to right the ship. May God bless our policymakers. And may God bless America.

I live in Texas. For what it’s worth I was represented at one time by Pete Sessions. In two primaries I voted for another Republican. I did vote for him in the 2018 election because he was a better choice than his Democratic opponent which wasn’t saying much. Sessions moved to central Texas after he lost in 2018 and he won a House seat there (Waco area) which returned him to Washington.
Honestly, I was not surprised that Sessions only got 8 votes for Speaker of the House.
As far as Mike Johnson I don’t know much about him but we will have to ride it out. Johnson did get 220 votes and there are two special elections coming up next month for two vacant US House seats. I am glad Sessions got eliminated early.

I am excited to see what Congress can now do to stop the minority of radical liberals from destroying our “Great Experiment” that has made this country great.

I did vote for him in the 2018 election because he was a better choice than his Democratic opponent which wasn’t saying much. Sessions moved to central Texas after he lost in 2018 and he won a House seat there (Waco area) which returned him to Washington.
Honestly, I was not surprised that Sessions only got 8 votes for Speaker of the House.
As far as Mike Johnson I don’t know much about him but we will have to ride it out. Johnson did get 220 votes and there are two special elections coming up next month for two vacant US House seats. I am glad Sessions got eliminated early.
McCarthy, allowed Pelosi to continue to occupy her bonus offices, as well as protecting her and not exposing her misdeeds while Speaker. I believe McCarthy has always had integrity issues, and this is why the vacate rule was demanded. I hope he will still use his superb fund-raising skills to forge a strong and large majority.
No. Integrity is where we must plant our flag. What is winning if we lose our soul? “Where is there gain if we lose our soul?”
The press is making a big deal about “The 8”. But they don’t seem to point out that the Democrats were happy with the deal McCarthy made with them to get the budget extension passed. The slim majority has to stick with their principles. I very much like the change. Mike Johnson’s speech was GREAT! I am excited to see what Congress can now do to stop the minority of radical liberals from destroying our “Great Experiment” that has made this country great. I also think this has been a wake up call – “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD!” Psalm 33:12 GOD BLESS AMERICA!
It is a process and sometimes that process is ugly but at the end of the day we have a conservative. I truly wish they hadn’t done any of it in secret but it is the process they choose. I think the only way moderate and conservatives loose in 2024 is if they stay home. Christians need to use the ballot box and vote their beliefs. The only way evil wins is when good men and women do not stand up.
I think Speaker Johnson was a good choice. I can already see an improvement to what we had in Speaker McCarthy based on what Speaker Johnson said to Congress members before being sworn in.
So how do we get people to stop voting in Rinos? Until voters start demanding better choices we will continue to have problems. Think sitting members are going to vote for age caps and term limits? We sorely need both!
McCarthy did live up to some of his promises during his brief tenure, but in the end his elitist bent led to the betrayal of conservative principles and his justifiable ouster. The clown show of the past three weeks is a necessary price to pay for a strong conservative House.
I applaud the 8, if for no other reasons than it brought true democracy in play, installed a god fearing leader in Johnson, and finally and hopefully God a seat at the round table in decision making.
I THOUGHT SCALIESE OR JORDON WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD. LETS HOPE JOHNSON WILL BE THE BEST EVER /JUST TO PUT THE DEMORATS NOSE INTO THE DIRT
I will never, ever vote for Dem. This process is our process. We have a new speaker and they need to do their job. We are spiraling out of control economically, our safety is at risk. Our country is more divided than ever, and the main player in all of this is Joe Biden, he needs to be impeached.
The party over people policy is what got the Republicans so far off track from representing the majority of citizens. Right above all. This next election I am looking for all conservative house members to vote for the people over the party.
i can count on one hand the number of congressmen, senators & executive branch leeches who are more interested their counties fortunes than their own….the country and it’s people be damned. The USA is now officially lost. Hang on kids, it’s gonna” be a bumpy ride.
