Johnson As Speaker Changes Everything

Kevin McCarthy's ouster revolved entirely around budgetary issues, including Ukrainian war funding. In his first floor speech as presumptive House Speaker, Mike Johnson outlined his priorities:

Here's the stats: prices have increased over 17% in the last two years.

We have to bring relief to the American people by reining in federal spending and bringing down inflation.

CHANGES TO THE STANDING RULES. INITIATIVES TO REDUCE SPENDING AND IMPROVE ACCOUNTABILITY. - CUT-AS-YOU-GO. - In rule XXI, amend clause 10 to read as follows: ''10.(a)(1) Except as provided in paragraphs and, it shall not be in order to consider a bill or joint resolution, or an amendment thereto or a conference report thereon, if the provisions of such measure have the net effect of increasing mandatory spending for the period of either - ''(A) the current year, the budget year, and the four fiscal years following that budget year; or ''(B) the current year, the budget year, and the nine fiscal years following that budget year.

The massive Bidenomics deficit spending, including the Inflation "Reduction" Act, constituted a desperate effort to postpone the inevitable.

If Johnson followed a difficult path ascending to the speakership, that is a cakewalk compared to the fight to curtail Congress' spending and debt addiction.

As Heraclitus observed 2,500 years ago: every animal is driven to pasture with blows.

If Biden vetoes House bills slashing spending, he drags his party down with him.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

  Multiple U.S. states governed by Republicans are withdrawing state funds from BlackRock's management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world's top asset manager, the Financial Times reports.

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
