Mike Johnson, a Speaker to be proud of

Mike Johnson took a small group of New York Republicans to Columbia University to talk with Jewish students there. This was both a fact-finding mission and a trip meant to show support for these students. After the private conversation with students, the delegation held a brief press conference.

While I'm not surprised with their article, I'm more than a little disappointed that Axios is reporting that "Johnson and Reps. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) were booed and heckled for nearly the entire 18 minutes of their press conference on the steps of Columbia's Low Library." Frankly, I'd be upset if the pro-Hamas agitators/hecklers hadn't heckled Speaker Johnson's delegation. I don't want the approval of these professional agitators and terrorist sympathizers.

The Democrats

House Democrats rolled out the red carpet to greet their colleagues. House Democrats rolled out the red carpet to greet their colleagues. Jamaal Bowman, the man who has a thing for pulling fire alarms, issued a statement that said "the visit is 'another tactic in the right-wing's attack on our educational institutions' and an 'attempt to silence anti-war and pro-Palestinian sentiment.'" If Rep. Bowman isn't the most racist Democrat in the House, he's easily in the top 5. Check this out:

"That is why AIPAC’s [ American Israel Public Affairs Committee] is coming after us, coming after us with hate, coming after us with bullying, intimidation, and fear. You should see what they’re doing in my district," Bowman said during a virtual town hall meeting on Monday.

After he claimed AIPAC members are lying about his record and calling him antisemitic, Bowman said, "They don’t like my style, I’m a little too radical, I’m a member of the Squad. They want to call me the N-word, but they know they can’t get away with that, so they say everything else."

Hamas does the unthinkable

During this speech, Speaker Johnson reported that Hamas had done the unthinkable:

According to Johnson, Hamas said that the paid agitators were "the future leaders of America." Would you want to be called "the future leaders of America" by terrorists? I wouldn't want that. These paid agitators have told Jewish students to "return to Poland," home of some of Nazi Germany's most famous concentration camps. These 'future leaders of America' told the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Holocaust survivors to return to the home of the Holocaust. That doesn't sound like peaceful protest. That sounds like the chants of hate-filled terrorist-loving agitators.

I don't agree with everything that Mike Johnson has done. However, I'm proud he's stood on America's founding principles. I'm proud he's given these Hamas-lovers a good dose of guff. That's a speaker to be proud of.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
