House Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday he called White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan and threatened to “intervene” if President Biden slapped sanctions on an Israeli military battalion over its alleged conduct in the West Bank.
“We heard a rumor of this before our [aid] bill was actually brought for a vote in the House [Saturday], I mean, hours before,” Johnson (R-La.) told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
“And I’ll tell you what I did, Hugh, and I don’t, I guess I’m breaking news here,” Johnson went on. “No one knows this. But I called the White House immediately and talked with Jake Sullivan, and [Secretary of State] Tony Blinken was overseas at the moment.

No threats to intervene with our Southern border?
“Don’t”
I found out from Joe Biden that Mexico was just south of Israel. But from Mike Johnson I now know that America is just north of Egypt.
Like a lot of these Evangelical NeoCons, a tough guy for Israel, and a cuck for America.
It’s the same pattern by the “conservatives” for Canada and the UK as well.
No one sanctioned the USA when our military accidentally blew away an Afghan worker and 9-10 family including kids, mistaking them for the terrorists that hit our 13 Marines during Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Kabul
In fact, there were no disciplinary actiions from what I read
War is heck
>> Mr. tough guy all of a sudden
He’s been given permission to flex his muscles.
Mr. Wimp has to personally promote his weak actions.
If he were a Force we would all know by the totality of his actions.
Included in the Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan funding bill was roughly $4 billion for “migration and refugee assistance,” which is doled out to NGOs operating along the border and tasked with giving funds and travel assistance to illegal immigrants who have been released from federal custody.
In other words, Johnson, Trump and the GOP isn’t just neglecting the border crisis, they are actively funding it.
Speaker Johnson who was endorsed by Trump after allowing the above to be signed into law.
he’s right on this subject and delivering a strong speech at Columbia. i credit him for that -
So he was willing to go to bad for Israel and Ukraine, just not for the people who actually voted for him.
Well it is a divergence. They usually try to show the low information crowd how they conservative they really are by immediately passing a piece of conservative legislation that has zero chance to move forward. Is the deep state hanging him out as well?
Yes Trump disappointed me with his support for traitor Johnson after that funding bill. I hope this isn’t a harbinger of things to come.
But nothing about the border or domestic warrantless spying. Coward...
Woooooo, going to bat over Israeli sanctions, and giving a tough speech at Columbia.
Neither does a damn thing for Americans and the border and the debasement of the dollar. He’s “all show, no go”.
Ok, THANK YOU Mr. Johnson. We appreciate it. The Biden White House is morally bankrupt and frankly DISGUSTING with its support for the Fakestinian and Iranian Terrorist Murder Thugs.
Now then, let’s get back to the southern USA border, please?
And we need to step up the effort on this invasion problem because:
1. there are millions of illegals already let into USA (including thousands and thousands of Krapistani, Fakestinian, Iranian, Pakistani young men of fighting age)
2. Biden is now FLYING illegals into a variety of USA airports .. directly into the heartland of America...so that even closing the border down completely would not solve the problem, Biden is bringing more and more illegals in by air delivery skipping completely over the border as if (as it does) not exist
Ron Paul: FISA exchanges real liberty for phantom security

House Speaker, Mike Johnson betrayed liberty and the Constitution by making a full-court press to get a “clean” reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Act through the House.
Section 702 authorizes warrantless surveillance of foreign citizens. When the FISA Act was passed, surveillance state boosters promised that 702 warrantless surveillances would never be used against American citizens.
However, intelligence agencies have used a loophole in 702, allowing them to subject to warrantless surveillance any American who communicated with a non-US citizen who was a 702 target.
Intelligence agencies could then also conduct warrantless surveillance on any Americans who communicated with the new American target.
This Section 702 loophole has been used so often to subject Americans to warrantless wiretapping that it has been referred to as the surveillance state’s crown jewel.
A bipartisan coalition of Republican and Democratic House members worked to add a warrant requirement to the FISA bill...
The case against adding a warrant requirement to FISA consisted of hysterical claims that forcing the surveillance state to obey the Fourth Amendment would make Americans vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
Particularity, the claim was made that forcing national security operatives to get a warrant before spying on US citizens would cripple the ability to respond to a “ticking time bomb” situation...
When the PATRIOT Act was rushed to the House floor in the fall of 2001 — weeks after 9-11 — and voted upon before members had a chance to read it, only three Republicans voted against it. One conservative representative told me he voted for it even though he agreed with my opposition to the bill. He told me, “I can’t go back home and tell my constituents I voted against the PATRIOT Act!”
