Swamp time

Eyebrows were raised when newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) in his first address from the chair reminded the assembled Democratic and Republican members of the House of Representatives that the God of the Bible raised up each one of them for a purpose.
“I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night: I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this. I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you. All of us. And I believe that God has allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment,” the Louisiana Republican said.
“This is my belief. I believe that each one of us has a huge responsibility today to use the gifts God has given us to serve the extraordinary people of this great nation, and they deserve it.”

Sounds like we have a Statesman again. It has been so long.
If anyone wants their name removed from or added to this ping list please let me know.
A wonderful answer to our prayers. He will be hated with the intensity and sulphuric brimstone of demons, so we will need to keep him covered in our prayers.
And what a breath of fresh air!
I agree with him, too, and so we need to keep him lifted up in prayer. The left is losing its mind over this judging by the reactions over at DU. I have no doubt there are already plans being made and traps being laid to ensnare and destroy him and his family.
Payers for evil is like placing hot coals upon their heads.
🙏🙏🙏
References to God and religious beliefs?
Libs and progs must be tearing their hair out......lol.
Amen. In these last days God is in complete control. Please pray daily for our leaders.
He is a man for such a time as this. Bravo
Swamp time
🙏🙏🙏
Next-to-next for the POTUS position!
I bet at least 3/4 of the democrats were foaming at the mouth!
Yeah.....lol.
In May 2022, Speaker Mike Johnson said, “We should not be sending tax
dollars abroad without sufficient oversight over where the money will go,
<><>when our own border is in chaos,
<><>American mothers are struggling to find baby formula,
<><>gas prices are at record highs,
<><>and American families are struggling to make ends meet.”
Congressional Research Service
US Foreign aid to Israel
60 page detailed report

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.
Here’s why they DONT need it:
About $113.1 billion in tax dollars were authorized in 2022 for Ukraine, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of it–about $67.1 billion–was defense-related. The other $46 billion included:
<><>$26.9 billion for economic support;
<><>$7.9 billion for international disaster assistance;
<><>$6.6 billion in assistance for refugees;
<><>$1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia;
<><>plus $3.1 billion for other non-defense spending.
US tax dollars helped Ukraine
<><>pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders
<><>helped sustain critical healthcare services,
<><>helped meet pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people,
<><>assisted 1.3 million internally displaced persons,
<><>provided housing assistance to 4.1 million people,
<><>provided social assistance to 240,000 low-income families
<><>helped subsidize 480,000 persons with disabilities,
<><>bought supplies for farmers,
<><>financed finding markets for small business.
Israel’s defense budget ALONE is about $25 billion per year.....nearly as large as the entire GDP of Gaza, according to the CIA World Factbook. So what passes for an economy in shambles in Gaza is less than 5% the size of Israels booming, technologically advanced, and robust $550 billion national economy.
Israel is an economic and military Goliath relative to the Gaza/Hamas terrorist Tom Thumbs. They do not need any virtue signaling from Biden but he is one of a slew of obeisant US politicians each trying to outdo the other in pledging fealty to a foreign govt.
Why do we have to go into debt for these money grubbing foreign billionaires?
Monies generations not yet born are saddled with.
Why cant they stand on their own two feet?
Why cant they do their own borrowing?
Why cant they finance their own security?

Gun grabber Lindsay Graham led a delegation of US Senators....5 Repubs and 5 Dems.... to Israel. Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin, Rhode Island Democratic Jack Reed, Alaska Republican Dan Sullivan, Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, Susan Collins (Maine Republican), Cory Booker (New Jersey Democrat), Katie Britt (Alabama Republican), Chris Coons, Delaware Senator, John Thune, SDakota Senator.
Israeli Leader Yair Lapid (center) asked for more US military aid
while Senators pledge yet another multi-billion dollar pkg to Israel.
He needs our prayers because he will be vilified by EVIL PEOPLE !
In 2016, Johnson described himself as first and foremost a Christian.[122] He is an evangelical who is Southern Baptist.[68][11] Johnson has said: “My faith informs everything I do.”[123]
Since March 2022, Johnson and his wife have co-hosted a podcast, “Truth Be Told”, where they discuss public affairs and other issues from a Christian perspective.[124] On his podcast, Johnson said that “the word of God is, of course, the ultimate source of all truth”
