No matter how I word my question on my browser search engine, I cannot get an answer as to what members make up Speaker Johnson's leadership team. This matters, because if he truly is what we need as speaker, then his team will not have any RINO's.
I may be wrong, and I hope I am, but I heard that former speaker Kevin McCarthy will head up fundraising for the Republicans. If this is true, then we got rid of him from the speakership just to put him in position to influence how finances will be divided up for elections next year???
Apparently they are people who don’t want the J6 videos released.
Is McCarthy really a RINO?? He was a disappointment in some areas but overall showed conservative attributes. He was mostly too weak to stand up to the pressures from the left.
The HRCC decides where the money goes. McCarthy is a huge fundraiser. They hate his politics…but they love his money. He should tell them to screw.
I doubt if he has a formal team yet. I doubt if McCarthy will be part of leadership.
Psssst....There is no “team”.
God is his team!
Well that sucks. We’re screwed again
That sucks, we’re screwed again!
Oh the Drama!
And Gaetz will be doing what? Cleaning the toilets, if they give him anything at all. The hero of the FR nihilists won’t be trusted with anything important, because, well, he’s not trustworthy.
McCarthy turned out to be an Assistant Democrat on the issues of prime importance.
North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson is the current head of the House GOP campaign committee.

We ended up with a GODly strong Christian man to lead 1 3rd of the Government, against the 2 godless repreobates running the other 2 3rds. Gaetz did well.
God Bless Matt Gaetz. It’s called COURAGE!
Emmer is still there to Whip Johnson into line.
Some were UPSET the House was shut down for a few days b/c we weren’t sending your tax dollars to foreign countries fast enough. The same “Congress” that gleefully tramples 2A rights, is hell bent on supplying weapons to foreign countries.

In addition to the MARCH 16, 2022 weapons listed above, previous US assistance committed to Ukraine includes:

In addition to the U.S.-produced short-range air defense systems the Ukrainians have been using to great effect, the United States has also identified and is helping the Ukrainians acquire additional, longer-range systems on which Ukraine’s forces are already trained, as well as additional munitions for those systems.
The United States continues to expedite the authorization and facilitation of additional assistance to Ukraine from our Allies. At least 30 countries have provided security assistance to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began.
In 2022, the Department of State authorized third-party transfers of defensive equipment from more than 14 countries, a number that continues to grow as Allies and Partners increase support to Ukraine.

Immediate Release
Oct 26, 2023
Biden Administration Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine
Today, Oct 26, 2023, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs.
This announcement is the Biden Administration’s forty-ninth tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
This Oct 26, 2023 package includes additional air defense capabilities, artillery ammunition, anti-tank weapons, and other equipment to help Ukraine counter Russia’s ongoing war of aggression and fight for its independence and freedom.
This package utilizes assistance previously authorized for Ukraine during prior fiscal years under Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) that remained after the PDA revaluation process concluded in June. This security assistance package is another visible signal of the United States’ continued commitment to supporting the Ukrainian people in the face of Russian aggression.
The United States remains committed to working with Allies and partners to provide Ukraine with capabilities to meet its immediate battlefield needs, and the Biden Administration calls on Congress to meet its commitment to the people of Ukraine by passing additional funding to ensure Ukraine continues to have what it needs to defend itself against Russia’s brutal war of choice.
Security assistance for Ukraine is a smart investment in our national security. It helps to prevent a larger conflict in the region and deter potential aggression elsewhere, while strengthening our defense industrial base and creating highly skilled jobs for the American people.
The capabilities in this package, valued at up to $150 million, include:
• Additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
• AIM-9M missiles for air defense;
• Stinger anti-aircraft missiles;
• Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
• 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
• Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
• Javelin anti-armor systems;
• More than 2 million rounds of small arms ammunition;
• Night vision devices;
• Demolitions munitions for obstacle clearing;
• Cold weather gear; and
• Spare parts, maintenance, and other ancillary equipment.
How about that, McCarthy can still raise money even though he is not speaker. Who would have thought that was possible? They told us that campaign funding was gone if McCarthy was not elected.
Johnson was given the okay too quickly. I have doubts he will be a whole lot better than McCarthy.
Words don’t mean much. Actions do.
His already flip flop on funding foreign wars is a big red flag that says something got to him.
