This author and blogger wanted to give slack to 18 House Republicans whose districts voted for Joe Biden in 2020, but now realizes he was naive!
Many of these 18 House Republicans are part of the so called “Problem Solvers Caucus”, and yet, they voted unanimously for a hardline extremist right wing Speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who is more extreme than Kevin McCarthy, and similar to Jim Jordan, but with a more amenable personality, which effectively hides his extremist views!
So it is time to stop believing that there are any Republicans in the House of Representatives who can be trusted on doing what is proper and mainstream, and Democrats must work to defeat as many of these Biden district Republicans as possible in the upcoming Congressional Elections of 2024!
However, this author and blogger is particularly angry at the following:
Don Bacon of Nebraska
Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania
Tom Kean Jr of New Jersey
Mike Lawler of New York
Marc Molinaro of New York
Anthony D’Esposito of New York
Nick LaLota of New York
Brandon Williams of New York
David Valadao of California
Mike Garcia of California
Michelle Steele of California
Young Kim of California
John Duarte of California
So these New York and California Republicans, in particular, are on notice that they are in danger due to their support of a MAGA Republican for the Speakership of the House of Representatives!
Speaker Johnson is worst than a religious zealot…he’s a far-right Christian nationalist! Heaven forbid we are in trouble. He’s about as Christian as the devil himself.
Plus:
Apparently when all you have to offer is entertainment even the MAGA crazies need fresh content….hopefully their vote will go somewhere else too!
Trump rallies are becoming a thing of the past as crowds grow bored with his rants: report – Raw Story
House Democrat, Dean Phillips, has decided he’s going to be a primary challenger to Biden. 🙁
Yet another mass shooting. While other GOP leadership stuck to their usual “thoughts and prayers” mantra for the victims of the Lewiston, Maine, shooting, the newly minted speaker of the House tried out a new gun control dismissal tactic. In a one-on-one interview with Sean Hannity on Thursday, Speaker Mike Johnson made an old Republican line new again, claiming that it’s not guns that kill people—it’s their hearts.
“At the end of the day, the problem is the human heart. It’s not guns, it’s not the weapons,” Johnson said. “At the end of the day, we have to protect the right of the citizens to protect themselves, and that’s the Second Amendment. That’s why our party stands so strongly for that.”
“This is not the time to be talking about legislation. We’re in the middle of that crisis right now,” Johnson added.

Mike Johnson wants to have Ukraine aid separate from Israel aid and Israel aid will be paid for by making cuts to the IRS.
