Is morality a "scam"? Without it, a society cannot exist.

Yes actually. 1,000%. Religion is a scam and complete bull shit. Biggest tax right off. The most religious people I know are con artist in actual real life using religion as a veil to protect them. This is indisputable. They hold the most valuable real estate in the fucking world tax free. They fuck children. Kill gays. Start most if not all wars. Should I keep going?

I have no issue with the person that buys into religion being "moral" but it's not. No religion in me and I've got two speeding tickets under 18. 2 kids with a beautiful wife. Took my nephew in. I'm more moral than most Christians, Catholics, Muslims or Jews. Or Scientologist if you also believe that bull shit is real. There's no difference as it's literally made up. All of it.

Speaker Mike Johnson Received a $95,000 Payment From Lobby Group Shortly After Passage of $14.5B Military Aid Package Late Last Year

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, has come under scrutiny following revelations that he received significant campaign contributions from a foreign lobby group, particularly known for its pro-foreign policy stance. According to analysis conducted by The Intercept based on Federal Election Commission records, this lobby group donated approximately $95,000 to Johnson’s campaign in November of last year.

Pelosi Endorses Speaker Johnson as Removal Vote Looms

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has declared her support for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) as he faces calls for his removal from within his own party.

Johnson is facing a possible removal vote this week, but has the Republican leader already been replaced?

With Democrats lining up to support Johnson, some say the minority party is effectively running the show.

Former Speaker Pelosi is now endorsing Johnson and backing her party’s efforts to keep him in his leadership position.

Pure evil is endorsing Johnson now.

Mike Johnson, Leader of the Free World

The House Speaker rejects U.S. decline and retreat from global leadership.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit this week will spawn many discussions about America’s role in the world, but the most important speech of the week may be Republican Mike Johnson’s on Monday at the Hudson Institute. The House Speaker laid down a marker for a GOP that rejects U.S. decline and retreat abroad.
“While democracy is not perfect, the burden of self-government is certainly far lighter than the yoke of tyranny,” Mr. Johnson said. “But right now, absent American leadership, we’re looking at a future that could be” defined by “communism and tyranny, rather than liberty and opportunity and security.”

Mr. Johnson said Chinese President Xi Jinping wants to expand “his communist footholds.” Vladimir Putin imagines a Russian empire that includes the Baltics, and Iran aspires to wipe Israel off the map. The Biden Administration is “appeasing and apologizing and accommodating.Joe Biden doesn’t treat China like an enemy. He’s stopped supporting Israel, and has cozied up to Iran to revive the failed nuclear deal,” he said.
The Speaker defended Donald Trump’s record and called on European allies to live up to their defense spending commitments. He noted the security risks of an uncontrolled southern border and the rising national debt, which will require hard spending adjustments.
But most notable was the larger picture Mr. Johnson painted. He didn’t indulge a false choice between meeting problems at home and threats abroad. He is pushing his party in the direction of Ronald Reagan, which is correct for the world moment and politically popular.
America is threatened “by Chinese Communists, by Russian oligarchs, and Islamic terrorists. We can choose to ignore them, we can try to appease them,” the Speaker said. “Or we can choose another course. . . . We can rearm, rebuild, reinvigorate, restore, and reinstate fear in our enemies.” Decline “is always a choice. That is not a choice that Republicans will be making anytime soon.”
Mr. Trump could hardly do better than repeat Mr. Johnson’s message word for word at next week’s GOP convention.

@SpeakerJohnson
At this unprecedented juncture in American history, we must be clear
about what just happened. The Democrat Party forced the Democrat
nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election.
Having invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans who
selected Joe Biden to be the Democrat nominee for president, the self-
proclaimed 'party of democracy' has proven exactly the opposite.
The party's prospects are no better now with Vice President Kamala
Harris, who co-owns the disastrous policy failures of the Biden
Administration. As second in command and a completely inept border
czar, Harris has been a gleeful accomplice not only in the destruction
of American sovereignty, security, and prosperity, but also in the largest
political coverup in U.S. history. She has known for as long as anyone of
his incapacity to serve.

Regardless of the chaos in the current White House, our adversaries
around the globe should be reminded that the U.S. Congress, the U.S.
military, and the American people are fully prepared and committed to
defend our interests both at home and abroad.

If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to is serve as
President. He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot
arrive soon enough.

Johnson and Jeffries just announced a committee to look into J13.

I'm sure that will bear fruit.

J13.

Nice

https://palexander.substack.com/p/speaker-mike-johnson-brought-the

Speaker Mike Johnson brought the bill linking temporary funding for the federal government with a mandate that states require proof of citizenship when people register to vote; LOST 220-202 (14 Repubs & all but 3 democrats voted AGAINST it, can you imagine that? 14 fucking Republicans voted against a bill requiring proof of citizenship?)

‘The vote was 220-202, with 14 Republicans and all but three Democrats opposing the bill. Johnson, who said after the vote he was “disappointed,” will likely pursue a Plan B to avoid a partial shutdown, though he was not yet ready to share details.

“We’ll draw up another play and we’ll come up with a solution,” Johnson said. “I’m already talking to colleague about their many ideas. We have time to fix the situation and we’ll get right to it.”’

This is the issue peoples, we have Republicans subverting us, are voting with democrats, destroying USA…we need to vote these bitches out, all of them…I give testicle-LESS Mike props for bringing it but this smells fishy too, almost all designed to play with us…to fail…

I definitely do not trust Johnson at all anymore.

Go Mike!

Interesting...

What are your thoughts on the voter ID laws on the books already?

The real horrorshow is that the CR will very deliberately expire just around Christmas

Then the Omnibus will be rushed through., BEFORE the Republicans seat a bigger majority in the House and possibly get one in the Senate. And maybe Trump as President

Again, rammed through just BEFORE the Republicans seat a bigger majority in the House and possibly in the senate and a Trump WH.

The Christmas season will help hide the last minute Omnibus and allow time to dissipate any anger before the new Congress sits. With the democrats and many Republicans voting for it, it doesn't matter what Gaetz or Rosendale want.

You see, with a stronger Republican majority in the House, RINOs have fewer excuses not to cut spending especially for hated things. The Donald will have input as well and be able to shame his own party by vetoing the massive outrageous borrow-and-spend budget they want.

If Kamul-lah takes office, the RINO excuse will be they had to leave all the Democrat goodies and insane deficit spending for contractors and 100k's of "temporary refugee status" and NGOs bringing in illegals and 1M H-1Bs or Kamala would veto it.

"Nothing is accidental in politics" - FDR?

RWSGFY says

The House Speaker rejects U.S. decline and retreat from global leadership.

Is the more wealthy and populous EU helping to pay this bill? How many carrier groups will the EU send to Yemen or to patrol the South China Sea? How come the whole of Germany has less ships and a much smaller army than they did when it was just FRG?

Oh, it's on the US taxpayers and their children, plus borrowed interest. $37 Trillion now?

Also, it's very interesting how the FedGov and the Media plays DOWN anything with Taiwan and South China Sea as the Master Chief of a US Ship was just caught installing civilian Starlink so she could watch Telenovelas and lied 3x to the CO about it. All she got was a demotion one rank and a discharge, when she should have been put in prison.

https://slaynews.com/news/speaker-johnson-fundraising-platform-actblue-laundered-money-foreign-democrat-candidates/

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has revealed that investigators have uncovered a “massive scandal” involving the Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue. ...

The speaker said that Democrats have been hiding donations from adversarial foreign nations in a money laundering scheme.

Johnson spoke about this to the media after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a confidential memo outlining evidence of the problem.

Comer said the Treasury is looking into hundreds of Suspicious Activity Reports surrounding ActBlue.

The Democrat fundraising platform has been implicated in a scheme where large donations are falsely attributed to several individual small donors.

Weird that Johnson is objecting, given that he's such an obvious traitor that he won't even release all the J6 footage which shows the faces of the FBI agents of violence.

Not really. He did it too late to have any impact on the election yet gets a free lunch to BJ the base.

https://slaynews.com/news/proposed-rule-change-dynamics-speaker-removal/

Proposed Rule Could Change Dynamics of House Speaker Removal

... This potential modification by House Republicans necessitates a significant jump in the vote count for initiating a no-confidence vote against the incumbent speaker.

It would change the minimum requirement from just one member to nine.

I don't trust Johnson so I don't like this rule.

Ah, this is why they want the rule change:

https://palexander.substack.com/p/boom-speaker-mike-johnson-to-lose

BOOM, Speaker Mike Johnson to lose Speaker vote, so likely a next ballot but a crushing defeat and I love it, he is not to be Speaker, he is a traitor what he did on the foreign aid $ none for border

he lied, said no foreign aid $ to Ukraine of no money to border yet he went ahead and gave 95 billion $ and not one dollar to border security, he is a lying traitor!

Can't afford a speaker fight.

The big fight is for the fake Fiscal Cons Roy and especially Massie who was Sassy about lifting Lame Duck Biden's spending cap these past few months to shut the fuck up and get on board. No more "Strategic Budget Hawking" only when Trump is President and Congress is Republican

Congress counts tax cuts as spending.

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/swamp-apocalypse-wednesday-february

First, Johnson confronted the Democrats’ new “constitutional crisis” narrative, and encouragingly, vaccine mandates made an appearance. The Speaker explained:

"The Democratic party is in a completely different place right now. There’s no identified leader of the party. They don’t have a clear vision. They just seem rudderless. In hopes of finding themselves, they’ve latched onto this new shiny object called ‘the rule of law.’ We’d like to welcome them to the concept.
It would be more admirable if they hadn’t spent the last four years with their heads buried in the sand while Biden literally trampled over the rule of law without objection. In fact, many Democrats cheered that lawlessness, like when the Biden Administration unconstitutionally forced the middle class to pay the student loans of doctors and lawyers. They illegally mandated that private companies implement vaccine requirements. They radically rewrote Title IX to undermine women’s rights. Those things were actually illegal. The Democratic party cheered it on; they didn’t oppose it at all."

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1889355275620196797

I can’t believe I’m noting this as an aside, but as you can see, with vaccine mandates having been included in Johnson’s list, the reckoning is still coming. But set that aside. We have bigger whales to fry today.

Johnson continued. He didn’t just accept DOGE, he endorsed it:

"I met with Elon yesterday to get an update. To me, it is very exciting what they’re able to do. What Elon and the DOGE effort are doing right now is what Congress has been unable to do in recent years, because the agencies have hidden some of this from us.
DOGE is uncovering things that we’ve known intuitively have been there, but we couldn’t prove it. Now, the proof is being provided. And no one can argue the counter to that. So stay tuned—there’s a lot more to come.
The courts should take a step back and allow these processes to play out. DOGE is is making sure that your tax dollars are spent in the way they were intended to be spent."

With me so far? It was very bad news for the permanent bureaucracy that DOGE and Congress are on the same team. It would have been so much better for them had Congress taken umbrage over the Executive refusing to make payment they’d authorized. But it got so much better.

Then Johnson delivered the coup de grâce, the single sentence revealing a ghastly Sword of Damocles dangling on a gossamer thread right above the Deep State’s masked head, and a critical puzzle piece dropped into what we perceive in the strategic brilliance of Trump’s de-Swamping order of operations. Johnson said:

"We have a $36 trillion dollar federal debt. We have got to get ahold of these things. You’re going to see it reflected in the reconciliation package that comes forward, you’re going to see it reflected in the appropriations as we go forward, and you’re going to see it in these efforts to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. And we think the final number on that is going to be substantial and a game changer in Washington."

The clear threat was in Johnson’s final sentence. A game-changer in Washington. DOGE isn’t the weapon, it’s just the canary in the limestone mine. Now that Congress knows where the waste is —like USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Department of Education, DEI spending, the Treasury, Social Security, and the rest— legislators are working up a budget bill to nuke the Deep State from orbit.

It’s wonky, but this is very important. The fact Johnson announced a budget bill is critical. Bills related to reconciling the budget can be passed using a process called ‘budget reconciliation,’ which avoids the Senate filibuster and can be approved with a simple majority. In other words, it’s the Deep State’s worst nightmare: first, DOGE identified the bureaucratic bloat, and so now Republicans in Congress have a viable legislative path to cut the guts out of the bloated, mutant Swamp whale.

Now we see that the DOGE data dumps have always been paving the way for this— the Congressional reconciliation bill. If Congress does the cutting, it will instantly cure all the alleged ills the Democrats and their captive judges have been complaining about. ...

In other words, like a covid jab heart attack, the Deep State is suddenly and unexpectedly facing a whole new existential fight that arose right behind it— in Congress.

The Swamp thought DOGE was the main battle group, but it was only a reconnaissance force. Surprise! They wasted weeks trying to block, discredit, and contain DOGE, believing it was the real fight—but they were wrong. DOGE was never the main attack. DOGE was just scouting the battlefield, mapping the enemy’s weaknesses, and exposing vulnerabilities.

By shifting the battlefield to a budget reconciliation bill, Trump has neutralized the courts as any significant factor. Unlike executive actions, a budget bill passed through reconciliation is almost untouchable by judicial review. The only real challenges are procedural, which is a Senate issue, not a judicial one.

The Left thought they had Trump boxed in with lawsuits. Instead, they’ve spent weeks planning and fighting over emergency injunctions that will soon be completely irrelevant. The Deep State was preparing for trench warfare in front of judges, but Congress is unleashing a drone hellscape from their rear.

Trump tricked them all. The same activist judges siding against him using Congress as an excuse, must now twist into legal pretzels somehow arguing that neither Congress nor the Executive hold the power of the purse, which is even less constitutionally plausible. In other words, Trump tricked the judges into committing to a Congressional-powers argument, which becomes moot when Congress does it.

Checkmate.

Trump is doing some of the preliminary preparation for bankruptcy with DOGE i.e. find out who is and is not a legitimate creditor and what is Euro Babylonian fluff.

You can't do a bankruptcy without a complete audit of the bankrupt organization, to determine assets, and to determine who gets proportionate restoration and to what extent and in what order of priority.
