Who is Speaker Mike Johnson Really?

I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office. —Andrew Jackson
The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children. In the end, I believe, as in my case, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity. Today it is becoming harder to speak out, with the inception of the Patriot Act, the president has legislated free speech to be a crime. —Frank Serpico
Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence. —Thomas Jefferson
And I am saying, how about the other two branches? And putting the pressure on our representatives in the Senate and the Congress, and the court system. They should be counter-acting this corruption, but they are sitting there silent. —Sibel Edmonds
Despotic power is always accompanied by corruption of morality. —Lord Acton
When Mike Johnson was elected as Speaker, I had my suspicions regarding his capabilities. A few things immediately came to light which made me doubt he’d be any better than McCarthy. I voiced that opinion in emails and one of my friends commented, “But he prays in the House Chapel every morning.” I said, “So do the Muslims.”
I’ve always felt that anyone who proclaims their Christian faith over and over in public is hiding something. Mike Pence comes to mind.
My intuition aside, Mike Johnson is only one man. He has to deal with the Stalinist Party and the neo-con Trotskyites in his own party. With the Senate and the White House in the hands of the Democrats, his opportunities are few. However, he can and should completely terminate corrupt and unconstitutional legislation that would be catastrophic to America. And that includes standing firm against the $95 billion foreign aid package, which includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14.1 billion for Israel, and around $9.2 billion for “humanitarian assistance” in Gaza passed by the Senate without any border policy changes. Within this bill is a hidden impeachment clause that could backfire on Trump if he’s elected.
McCarthy to Johnson
Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted after Rep. Matt Gaetz filed a motion to remove McCarthy for not keeping his promises. His term as House speaker lasted only nine months. Republicans dropped him because he broke his promises and made backroom deals with Biden and House Democrats. McCarthy’s Leadership PAC received funding from Sequoia Capital, an important investment firm promoting business in China. Critics say McCarthy “shut down” investigations into the CCP’s deals with Sequoia, BlackRock, and other Wall Street firms.
Congressman McCarthy only voted with the US Constitution 50% of the time.
On October 25, 2023, with a vote of 220, Mike Johnson was elected Speaker of the House. He votes with the Constitution only 67% of the time.
Johnson calls himself a Constitutional attorney, yet he is a proponent of Mark Meckler’s Convention of States (CoS), which is heavily funded by the Koch organizations. As I’ve stated in past articles, the CoS is an Article V Constitutional Convention. Council on Foreign Relations and CoS board member, Robert George, has already rewritten the Second Amendment of our unalienable Bill of Rights. This deceitfully promoted convention is not simply to propose new amendments; it is to totally replace or change our founding document.
The House Republican majority is weakening. Since Mr. Johnson has become Speaker, Rep. George Santos has been expelled from Congress despite being “innocent until proven guilty.” The charges against him were brought by United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The House ousted Santos without a conviction or without having committed treason. Democrat Tom Suozzi replaced him.
McCarthy decided to leave the House at the end of December 2023.
The Republicans controlled the House with 221 Republicans to 213 Democrats, making them a majority, but now they’ve lost two. Rep. Matt Gaetz is again being investigated by the House Ethics Committee.
Should Gaetz be forced to resign, the House would precariously hold the majority by only five votes.
Hannity’s Interview with Speaker Johnson
In introducing the nation to the new speaker, the first hour of Sean Hannity’s interview was a one-on-one interview with Mike Johnson.
Johnson spoke about President Biden’s mental decline which is obvious to both Americans and foreign leaders.
He was asked what he believes, and commented that people need only open their Bibles to understand Mike Johnson.
He mentioned that both Chip Roy (R-TX) and Byron Donalds (R-FL) were working on plans for Continuing Resolutions (CRs) cutting spending by eight percent, securing the border and protecting our military and veterans. They’ve yet to come up with anything but “clean” CRs and have not even attempted a budget. Both Roy and Donalds support an Article V Constitutional Convention. (Roy actually nominated Donalds for Speaker.)
Speaker Johnson ended the first hour saying, “Look, this place is filled with people of good faith, deep conviction and they understand the necessity of working together.”
I don’t think so, Speaker Johnson.
His first bill, a $14.3 billion dollar aid package to Israel passed the House 213-200, but was shut down in the Senate and slammed by President Biden. Nice theatre though.
Johnson, who inherited the problem of a potential government shutdown when he was elected to the role after weeks of paralysis, saw 93 members of his conference in the Republican-controlled lower legislative chamber vote against his proposal. Almost all Democrats, 209 members, voted for the plan with two voting against it. Why did 93 Republicans vote against it? Because almost all “clean continuing resolutions” prolong government funding at current levels without any policy changes. They don’t want repeats of McCarthy’s CRs, they want changes made!
On February 29th, the House passed another clean CR; 207 Democrats joined 113 Republicans in a 320-99 vote to approve the short-term stopgap measure, which buys Congress more time to agree on funding for the full fiscal year that began Oct. 1.
Again, nothing is in these CRs about the border! Do the American people realize what this is costing us? An illegal alien family of four can get government assistance to the tune of $20,000 a month. You read that right, $20,000 a month! Watch the eight- minute video!
The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bill passed on December 6th, 2023. It does not overturn the Pentagon’s policy of reimbursing servicemembers who travel to obtain abortions, and it drops House language which would have blocked coverage of transition surgeries for transgender troops.
But there’s more….
Speaker Johnson tossed into the “must-pass” bill yet another extension of Section 702 of the FISA Act; it’s not surprising that he wanted to rush the bill through without the possibility of amendment. Section 702 allows the government to intercept and retain without a warrant the communications of any American who is in contact with a non-US citizen. It is clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment which is supposed to protect Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures. The NDAA also contained a $600 million gift to the corrupt government of Ukraine. Senate votes. House votes.
By a vote of 250 to 180, the House voted against the legislation that would send $17.6 billion to Israel, with 166 Democrats and 14 Republicans opposing the measure. It fell short because it was introduced under an expedited procedure requiring a two-thirds majority for passage. The vote was largely along party lines, although 14 Republicans opposed the bill and 46 Democrats supported it.
In the first vote to impeach DHS Mayorkas, four republicans voted against the impeachment. One wonders why Johnson called a vote if he didn’t know that Ken Buck (R-CO), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Blake Moore (R-UT) and Mike Gallagher (R-WI) would vote against it.
In the second vote, Blake Moore switched, bringing the vote to 214-213 for Mayorkas’ impeachment. Doesn’t say much for the 213 who voted against impeachment of the man who is allowing America’s invasion from China and third world countries.
The only Palestinian member of Congress, Rashida Tlaib, was censored for her anti-Semitic rhetoric by House Republicans and Democrats with a vote of 234-188. The punishment is one step below expulsion from the House. She should have been ousted like Santos. She’s a Hamas Trojan Horse.
Second Hour Interview
In the second hour of the Hannity interview, House Republicans were brought in and a number of them spoke about various topics. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Tom Emmer (R-MN) are seated next to Speaker Johnson. Scalise votes with the Constitution 67% of the time, Stefanik 60% and Emmer 70%.
They conversed about border security, Biden and his son, Hunter, energy independence, fiscal sanity, law and order, the rule of law and moral clarity. Hannity asked them about the prospect of domestic terrorism with an open border, the purported weaponization of government, as well as the cognitive state of Joe Biden.
Elise Stefanik is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, as are other House Republicans. On February 17th, I received a form letter from Speaker Johnson. He requested that we help his loyal friend, Elise Stefanik win her re-election, as she knows exactly what is at stake in 2024.
Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Byron Donalds (R-FL) were also featured with Speaker Johnson. Lawler votes with the Constitution only 35% of the time. As for Byron Donalds, he’s no friend of liberty and freedom.
Donalds, has been working with the Democrats to advance digital currency. At the Collier County Republican Men’s breakfast in July of 2022, Byron Donalds said, “The Democrats have promised it will never be used for tracking law abiding citizens.”
Is he naive or one of them? The Stalinist Democrat Party is who put J6ers in prison. It is why Speaker Johnson courageously blurred the faces of people at the Capitol on January 6th on the portions of the videos released.
However, only .04% of the videos are available to the public. The House January 6th Committee deleted more than 100 encrypted files days before GOP took majority. Totally unconstitutional, but then consider who was on the committee. Johnson is allegedly trying to have those files decrypted.
In October of 2022, at Alfie Oakes’ Seed to Table, another public meeting was held where Donalds again was promoting digital currency. Alfie Oakes is also promoting the destruction of our 1787 Constitution by advocating an Article V Convention, just like Byron Donalds, Ron DeSantis and Mike Johnson.
Donalds is also tied to Americans for Prosperity, a Koch organization, who are for open borders, gay marriage, abortion and UN Agenda 21/30. Link, Link. They are also funding and promoting another Constitutional Convention, just like Soros’ Open Society foundations.
A few years ago, Byron’s wife allegedly tried to do a hostile takeover of Mason Classical Academy. There’s a lot of bitterness in the community because they wanted to run the charter school, Mason Classical Academy, which has one of the top ratings in the country. They did not conceive of the charter school, but had, at one time, been on the board. Kelly Lichter and her husband Nick were the founders. As a state Representative, Byron tried to write bills to make it easier for his wife to accomplish the takeover.
At a Republican Executive Committee meeting a few months ago, Donalds and his top staff member, Larry Wilcoxson, tried to start a public argument and disagreement with Kelly Lichter. They were backing her leftist opponent. Tensions boiled to such a point that Florida Politics reported it. A video lasting two minutes and 19 seconds mostly shows Donalds, with staffers Jesse Purdon and Larry Wilcoxson, speaking inaudibly with Lichter in a corner of the store.
Larry Wilcoxson allegedly takes home a six-figure salary. He is the top aide to Donalds and is his best friend.
Wilcoxson has been arrested multiple times including for child molestation. Link
He was arrested in 2014 for grand theft auto, a third-degree felony. In 2006, he was charged with three counts of child molestation of a 13-year-old girl in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2008, Wilcoxson was arrested for charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery with a weapon. He had previously been fired for allegedly exposing himself to a female school custodian at Indianapolis’ Donnan Middle School while he was a substitute teacher. In 2006, Collier County records indicate Wilcoxson was the defendant in several traffic cases and a paternity suit.
Many of the family grassroots leaders call this man, Wilcoxson, “Byron’s thug.” Before anyone backs Byron, they need to do their homework, and that includes Donald Trump.
Why choose the neo-con Trotskyites, the WEF members, and the likes of Byron Donalds to speak with Hannity as top Republicans? Why weren’t true conservative House members like Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Clay Higgins (R-LA), Thomas Massey (R-KY) and a few others featured with Johnson?
Unspoken Issues
The invasion at the southern border should be at the top of concerns, yet everything but the border has been discussed. Four months has passed since Johnson became speaker, and the border is still wide open. The filth flowing into our country will vote in the November elections, and the increase in crime is already obvious. Ten million illegal aliens have entered our country under Joe Biden, including Chinese communists, Middle East terrorists, and criminals from third world nations. It is the Cloward-Piven Marxist strategy to overload the system and collapse the economy.
There was no mention of the alleged 2020 election fraud, the J6 prisoners, the January 6th videos being totally released, how they will succeed in closing the border, health care, our military, the perversion in education, how deeply they will cut spending, who those cuts will impact, and the massive debt.
Donald Trump’s name was never mentioned.
Neither was abortion.
Speaker Johnson had killed the abortion ban in Louisiana in 2022 while serving as US Congressman. Pastors Jeff Durbin and Brian Gunter discussed exactly how Johnson killed the pro-life bill that would have banned abortion in Louisiana.
You’ll want to see the 26-minute video between these two pastors and how disappointed they were.
Pastor Gunter called Johnson’s tactics, “Pragmatism rather than principle.”
All the national, state and local pro-life groups were against this bill, HB813. (Loss of Louisiana funding?) Mike told Pastors Durbin and Gunter that he agreed with the bill, but it was the wrong time to pass the legislation since they have a razor-thin majority in the US Congress, the Louisiana state house and the Governorship. That was his excuse. The Pastors asked, “Is there ever a wrong time to do the right thing?” Amos 5:15, “Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.” Congressman Johnson threatened these Baptist pastors that if they moved forward with this bill, it would damage their careers.
We are 34.4 trillion dollars in debt and the interest payments on that debt dwarfs all other government spending!

There is no more time for “business as usual.”
