    Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that House Republicans are blurring footage from the Capitol attack before releasing it publicly because they don't want Jan. 6 rioters to be charged with crimes. "We have to blur some faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ," Johnson said Tuesday.

  • Speaker Johnson: Separation of church, state ‘a misnomer’

    “Separation of church and state … is a misnomer. People misunderstand it,” Johnson said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” when asked about him praying on the House floor. “Of course, it comes from a phrase that was in a letter that Jefferson wrote is not in the Constitution.” “And what he was explaining is they did not want the government to encroach upon the church, not that they didn’t want principles of faith to have influence on our public life. It’s exactly the opposite,” the Speaker added.

    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...

    Representative Mike Johnson vowed to support the wars in Ukraine and Israel in an interview after becoming House Speaker. The Congressman told Sean Hannity that China, Russia, and Iran make up an “axis of evil” that poses a huge threat to the US. “Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran, and they’re tied in now with Russia and China." Johnson explained that he does support the White House’s proposed $105 billion bill that would fund the War in Ukraine, Israel’s war on Gaza, fund Washington’s military buildup in the Pacific, and provide funds to increase security at the southern border....

    When Kevin McCarthy was ousted as Speaker, much of the business of the House came to a grinding halt. One of my biggest concerns with the prolonged divisive process of finding a new speaker was that we’d get a speaker who wasn’t interested in pursuing the impeachment of Joe Biden. Well, you’ll be pleased to hear that the newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), is ready to get the impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden rolling again. “Joe Biden swore to the American people—both as a candidate and as president, not one time did he ever speak to his son, his...

    After Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) was elected Speaker of the House on Wednesday, Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries presented him with the gavel but not before taking a few shots at Johnson first. ... For years, Jeffries has accused Donald Trump of stealing the 2016 election and being an illegitimate president. “With [the] legitimacy of Trump’s presidential election in doubt, his lifetime appt to Supreme Court can wait,” Jeffries tweeted in March 2017 in reference to the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Nearly a year later, he claimed without evidence that “The more we learn about [the] 2016...

    Mr. Speaker, release the J6 footageIt’s time for the House Republicans to keep their promise.One of the first things I did after becoming editor in chief of Blaze Media was make Steve Baker a contributor. This is because for the last two years, Steve has been performing the rarest job in America: carefully investigating the truth about the events of January 6, 2021. When it comes to the protest more than two years ago at the United States Capitol, instead of speaking truth to power, most media outlets are speaking lies to the powerless on the behalf of the powerful....

    This is deep weeds inside baseball, but boy howdy does it tell a story. Representative Matt Gaetz (MAGA, FL) goes through the details of yesterday’s House republican conference assembly as they select a Speaker nominee. What Gaetz reveals in detail is how Kevin McCarthy has been working the conference to undermine any other Speaker candidate so that McCarthy would be renominated as the only possible alternative. The insight and details are really interesting. This is a must watch.

    House Republican Vice Chair Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) became the chamber’s Speaker on Wednesday, three weeks after Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted.Johnson became his conference’s fourth Speaker nominee on Tuesday, and he takes over in the midst of multiple international crises, most notably in Israel, Gaza and Ukraine. There has been a split in the House GOP over aid to Ukraine as they face a war against Russia, making the passage of some recent bills a tough hill to climb in the lower chamber. President Biden announced the sending of a budget request to Congress requesting aid for both Israel...

    Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana — the fourth Republican to be nominated for House speaker since Rep. Kevin McCarthy was ousted three weeks ago — won the speakership in a party-line vote on Wednesday. The final vote was 220-209. Johnson, who represents a district in western Louisiana, was first elected to the House in 2016. He is a close ally of former President Donald Trump who had led many of the 2020 election challenges. What is Johnson's connection to 2020 election challenges? After the 2020 election, Johnson led an amicus brief signed by more than 100 House Republicans in support...
