CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 27, 2023
FINALLY, THERE IS A SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. HE IS 51-YEAR-OLD MIKE JOHNSON FROM LOUISIANA. JOHNSON IS A CONSERVATIVE AND OPENLY CHRISTIAN. HE INVOKED GOD AND SCRPTURE IN HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.
THAT WON’T MATTER TO SECULAR PROGRESSIVES, SOME OF WHOM ARE ALREADY DENOUNCING HIM AFTER HIS MAGNANAMOUS SPEECH THAT CONTAINED SOMETHING RARELY SEEN IN WASHINGTON: HUMILITY.
AS A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL SAID: “THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE REPUBLICAN MALCONTENTS WILL LET HIM GOVERN IN A WAY THEY REFUSED HIS DEPOSED PREDECESSOR, KEVIN MCCARTHY. IT WON’T TAKE LONG TO FIND OUT. GOVERNMENT FUNDING EXPIRES NOVEMBER 17, AND AMERICA’S FRIENDS IN ISRAEL, UKRAINE AND TAIWAN NEED MILITARY HELP TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.”
JOHNSON PLEDGED TO NAME A BI-PARTISAN TEAM TO ATTACK THE UNSUSTAINABLE DEBT. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. DEMOCRATS WON’T GO ALONG. ASKING THEM TO CUT SPENDING IS LIKE ASKING DRACULA TO DRINK LESS BLOOD. THEY WANT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDWN IF THEY DON’T GET TO SPEND MORE. AS USUAL, REPUBLICANS WILL BE BLAMED. THE MEDIA ARE ALREADY ON THAT KICK.
SO GOOD LUCK, MR. SPEAKER. YOU WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOURSELF. OTHERS SHOULD, TOO. I’M CAL THOMAS.
