House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) popularity is soaring among the wrong party as he prepares to face a historic vote next week led by Republicans to remove his gavel and strip him of the Speakership. According to a RealClearPolitics poll average, Johnson has a 3.5 approval rating-- with 31.4 percent disapproving of his job as House Speaker and 27.6 percent approving.
His approval rating continues to plummet among Republican voters as he gains favorability with Democrats— mostly due to his support

I sure was proud to see thousands of "Republican voters" joining the frat brothers in protecting our flag on an East coast campus, and then forming a human shield, armed with kick'ry sticks, protecting the young female Jewish student who was being beaten on a West coast campus last night and snatching the checked Hamas do rags and Hamas terrorist balaclavas off of the empty heads and pencil necks of the 40-something year old paid agitators. Of course that didn't happen but the brave followers of MTG would have been on the scene, armed with the jawbones of asses, had they not been so busy with trying to kick Speaker Johnson to the curb, months after the Gaetzites sent Speaker McCarthy packing, putting the democrats further within reach of the House majority and speakership. Say Trump can overcome the lawfare being wielded against him by both federal and state actors, and actually takes office as 47. Will Trump 47 be hamstrung, if not DOA, if his so-called rabid supporter MTG, and her antics, leave the democrats in control of our Legislative Branch, pre-loaded to impeach and remove Trump permanently?

It would be a mistake to assume all of us are annoyed that Ukrainians can continue to resist the Borg-like assimilation of the Kremlin.

For the Dem/Left, the old bromide fits: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and so their embrace of Johnson.
Johnson is a weakling, at best, a Quisling at worst (or possibly worser). He had a chance to keep the good things McCarthy was able to garner, such as three-day reading period for bills. But early on, Johnson exhibited the behavior of a person who has been told that "doesn't he have a pretty wife..." or, "we've noticed your little girls ride the XYZ bus to school;" or, "you know that counselling practice your wife has, controversial, isn't it? maybe an expose will be done by some investigative journalist to peer behind the curtains of your lives..."
You know the score. Maybe he is clean (so to speak), but he may not be, either. We know that this is how the Dem/Left plays. We know they're confabulators, too.
Yet, he could do the noble thing, change course, stand straight, speak boldly, round up the cavalry and" set his nose like flint."
As far as Rep MTG goes, there are several in the Freedom Caucus who agreed to support Johnson for Speaker, but HE has betrayed them, he has betrayed us, grimly obviously. I was not happy at all when Gaetz made his move.
Anyway, here we are, fractious, fractured, and at the edge of the existential abyss. We love our Republic, and the Dem/Left is fixin' to destroy it and build their dystopia on the ash heap. We're out of time. The Dem/Left (and sadly, some Republicans) is in league with the demonic WEF elites, and our Constitution means NOTHING to them other than an obstacle, it's what Obamboozler once referred to as the thing, "written on... the paper...?" yes, question mark.

He needs to start answering reporters' questions about his actions when traversing the hallways. His eyes-in-the-boat silence tells us all we need to know.

We can replace the Speaker ten more times this year and still get the same results. The only solution to a functional House is to somehow elect an overwhelming majority of real conservatives, a difficult task in a country that is going to the dogs.
