Is Mike Johnson A Strong Leader or A Marshmallow by Robert Socha
Another year has come and gone, and something sweet is in the air.
Four years to the day that the Left set up the Trump supporters who descended on D.C. to influence Congress in their certification of a fraudulent ballot and who believe to this day that the real coup in the 2020 election was when the most crucial precincts in the vital swing states stopped counting the votes in the wee hours on November 4, 2020, Congress will have the opportunity to certify President Trump to his inconsecutive second term.
This moment does not come without its challenges. On Friday, January 3, 2025, Congress must elect a Speaker of the House so that the electoral college can be validated on Monday, January 6, 2025, ushering in the peaceful transition of power on inauguration day, Monday, January 20, 2025.
Will Speaker Johnson, who recently gained President Trump’s endorsement, win the day?
Representative Massie doesn’t believe he should. He thinks Johnson will repeat Speaker Ryan’s betrayal of Trump’s Presidency to the swamp in 2017. In a quote from The Western Journal, “Regarding the current speaker race, Massie also posted on X last week, “I will vote for someone other than Mike Johnson. I’m not persuaded by the ‘hurry up and elect him so we can certify the election on J6’ argument.”
“A weak legislative branch, beholden to the swamp, will not be able to achieve the mandate voters gave Trump and Congress in November,” Massie wrote.
Representative Victoria Sparks chimed in on X, “President Trump will be able to save America only if we have a speaker with courage, vision and a plan – also public commitment to the American people how he will help deliver President Trump’s agenda to drain the swamp.”
The first public response from @Boowall77 was, “Right now, we need a speaker that will get Trump through the process. Trump trusts Johnson so we need to support that. If you don’t then you don’t support Trumps agenda. This makes you the obstacle to draining the swamp. Strategy in this is important.”
Strategy is important. Maybe the dissension among the Republican ranks is an obstacle to draining the swamp. Perhaps we have gone too far to the Left in the hedonistic celebration of everything perverted and debauched without the hope of return, as Mychal Massie soberly warns, “I offer the following three reasons for why America is on borrowed time and why we who were taught factual truth and propriety must be fully engaged in the time remaining.”
I hope we have a Speaker with courage and fire who is determined to return Congress to its constitutional chains and not give in to the swamp in stark betrayal to President Trump’s agenda as Paul Ryan did eight years ago paving the way for the Democrat victories in the 2018 mid-term elections. With this in mind, I look forward to the day that Congress certifies the 2024 electoral college. I hope it happens on January 6 as retribution for the injustices perpetrated on these United States four years ago and the continued injustice of those prosecuted and jailed under the false allegations of insurrection.
