House Speaker Mike Johnson issued a statement Wednesday that bars biological men from women’s bathrooms, according to a press release obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Johnson said “all single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings (like restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms) are reserved for individuals of that biological sex.”
“Women deserve women’s only spaces,” Johnson said, adding that the policy affirmed existing House rules regarding single-sex facilities on Capitol Hill.
The statement comes after Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a resolution Monday requiring individuals in the Capitol complex use facilities that correspond with their biological sex shortly before Democratic Congressman-elect Sarah McBride is due to be sworn in as the first member of Congress ever to identify as transgender.
Johnson also noted that, “each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.”
EXCLUSIVE: A handful of pediatricians who perform sex-change procedures on children successfully pressured a major medical organization to remove age minimums for sex-change surgeries.
When asked later about the policy’s enforceability, Johnson said: “like all House policies, it’s enforceable,” adding that, “we have single-sex facilities for a reason.”
Republican Reps. Erin Houchin of Indiana and Chip Roy of Texas also weighed in.
“Biological men have no place in women’s spaces such as locker rooms and bathrooms,” Houchin told the DCNF. “The American people made it very clear on Election Day that they are sick of leftist ideologies that are chipping away at women’s rights. I’m glad Speaker Johnson has taken a stand to protect the women here on Capitol Hill.”
Roy echoed Houchin and Johnson’s sentiment, saying, “you just need to answer the question, ‘is this individual a man or a woman?’…this individual [Mcbride] is a man, and society can’t ignore those obvious differences.”
Mace was raped by a friend and classmate at age 16, according to the Post and Courier, and she has since said the traumatic experience created the “hardest time in her life.”
“I’m not going to stand for a man, you know, someone with a penis is in the women’s locker room. That’s not okay,” Mace told reporters Tuesday. “I’m a victim of abuse myself. I’m a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of a man and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.”
The issue of transgender individuals using bathrooms of the opposite sex caught national attention after a biological boy in Loudon County, Virginia, raped a female student in a girls bathroom at a public school in 2021. The school went on to deny that the assault was a result of its trans-inclusive policies.

Arlington National Cemetery told gold star families that they could only be there for a specific time that did not work for everyone’s schedule and were also told the president could not join them at their children’s gravesites, the family told the Caller.
Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Rep. Michael McCaul explained to the Caller that he was contacted by Gold Star parents Darin Hoover and Kelly Barnett, the parents of SSGT Taylor Hoover, who told him that Arlington Cemetery was giving them and some of the other parents of the U.S. servicemembers killed at Abbey Gate a hard time about coordinating a ceremony with Trump on the anniversary of their deaths. The Caller is told that the Cemetery said they could only be there for a specific time that did not work for everyone’s schedule and were also told the president could not join them at their children’s gravesites. McCaul immediately reached out to Johnson to ask for his assistance with the matter and the Caller is told he continued to track it until it was fixed.
“When Darin and Kelly contacted me, I was furious to hear their request to have President Trump join them to commemorate the anniversary of Taylor’s death was being stymied, along with several of the other family members of U.S. servicemembers killed at Abbey Gate. I immediately asked what I could do to help and reached out to Speaker Johnson to see what he could do. Thankfully, Speaker Johnson and his team acted quickly and were able to get the situation resolved. But something like this should never have happened. Gold Star families have already suffered enough,” McCaul told the Caller.
California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa has called on Biden to meet with these Gold Star families on multiple occasions, his office told the Caller. He was present for the ceremonies on Monday and had been in contact with Arlington National Cemetery leading up to the anniversary, his office said.
“This administration absolutely interfered with the tributes to the 13 fallen. In its war on Trump, it made the Gold Star families collateral damage,” Issa told the Caller.
“Our office worked with Arlington National Cemetery to move the time of the event, to a time that would accommodate the attendance of President Trump. That was done as a request by the families to this office, as they were not receiving that assistance from Arlington National Cemetery,” two sources close to the discussions told the Caller.
Another source familiar with the conversations between the Gold Star families and Arlington National Cemetery said that after Johnson’s phone call, the entire situation changed.
“The Speaker of the House had to get involved. Reps Issa, Mast, and Chairman Mike McCaul were instrumental in assisting in the Gold Star families. After the Speaker’s call, the situation shifted significantly. It was only three days before the ceremonies, and Arlington National Cemetery waited until the last minute to confirm key components of the event with the families.”
“Arlington Cemetery officials claimed the families didn’t want any media, photography, or videography at Section 60, contradicting what the families had actually requested. The families were fine with the media, designated by the Trump team, but Arlington kept pushing back, obstructing the process,” the source continued. “This would have not happened without Speaker Johnson.”
Hoover told the Caller in an emotional phone call that he and other Gold Star family members were the ones who called Trump and asked for him to show up and criticized the Biden administration for not contacting them for the past three years.
“We, WE extended the invitation to President Trump. We are the ones that asked him to come. We are the ones that asked him to assist in laying a wreath for our son, and for the shooting for, Sergeant Canals and for Cole. We’re the ones that asked that. President Trump didn’t come to us. His team didn’t come to us and say, hey, this would be good for business. Business? No. President Trump has stood by us from day one. He has been compassionate. He has been loving. He’s been understanding. He’s taking the mantle of our outrage a little bit. Because to be quite honest with you, being very frank, we haven’t heard diddly squat from the current administration in three years,” Hoover said.
The Caller reached out to the Biden White House for details on why these families were having trouble with Arlington National Cemetery on agreeing to terms with Trump present. The White House referred the Caller to Arlington National Cemetery, saying: “this is a matter between the Arlington National Cemetery and the Trump campaign, not a White House matter.”
The Caller also contacted Arlington National Cemetery about these claims. The cemetery did not immediately respond.

Speaker Mike Johnson(R-La.) called on President Bidento release weapons to Israel after a suspected rocket attack injured several U.S. service members on the Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq.
“After repeated attacks on American troops in the region, and while Israel is under threat from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, the U.S. cannot hesitate to defend our servicemembers and our ally,” Johnson said in a Tuesday statement.
He added that any attack by Iran against Israel or the U.S. should be “met with decisive force,” with the U.S. and its allies in the region working to “strongly counter Iran and its terror proxies to send a clear message against these malign activities.”
“We know the current Iranian aggression, backed by Chinese and Russian interests, comes after a months-long pressure campaign against Israel from the Biden-Harris Administration. Now is the time for the White House to realize their choices have brought us to the brink of disaster and give full-throated support to Israel,” Johnson continued.
“President Biden must immediately release all previously withheld and delayed weapons to Israel — so it can defend its people and deter Iran — and make clear that there will be decisive economic, military, and international ramifications should Iran engage in or support any attacks,” Johnson said.

The House voted on Saturday to betray America and American interests. As sellouts go, this was a big one, even by Washington Uniparty standards, as these members of Congress basically flipped their collective middle finger at America’s working poor and its increasingly struggling middle class.
These globalist sycophants, led by the globalist Speaker Mike Johnson, passed three separate foreign-aid bills that will provide funding to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, transferring a total of $95 billion from the U.S. Treasury directly to foreign governments. The massive foreign-aid package now heads to the Senate, where it will be rubber-stamped and signed by Joe Biden.
According to Just the News, the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act was passed 311-112. The bill contains $61 billion for Ukraine.
This bill is not only anti-American, it’s anti-Ukrainian. Even more so, it’s anti-human because it will result in many more dead Ukrainians and Russians.
Included in the package is $300 million to protect Ukraine’s border with Poland. This $300 million will be used to keep Ukrainians from fleeing into Poland to escape the military draft, which sends them into the meatgrinder and certain death at the front with a superior Russian military. No matter how hard they try to serve it up on a pretty platter, it doesn’t get any more evil than this.
The House then passed the Israel Security Supplemental with a vote of 366-58. It contains $26.4 billion to aid Israel. Taiwan will get $8 billion.
Some of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s GOP colleagues have threatened to oust him as speaker if he moved forward with Ukraine aid. He ignored them. Johnson is now so popular with Democrats that some say they will prevent Republicans from ousting him.
“To send $100 billion overseas without reinforcing our own borders shows that we put America last.”
Ya think?
Massie and Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., have cosponsored a motion introduced by Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s to vacate the office of the Speaker, while Democrats including Tom Suozzi of New York and Jared Moskowitz of Florida have pledged to save Johnson if that attempt to oust him arrives, according to the New York Post.
I would call it something even worse: America’s betrayal.
And, by the way, you can bet your last dollar that the U.S. Congress will approve funding for securing U.S. borders, only after they have reinstituted the military draft.
I’ve been predicting this for some time, that a wall will be built, but only to keep us in, not to keep anyone out. They’ve already set the precedent with $300 million to secure Ukraine’s border with Poland.
The Gateway Pundit reports that Virginia Democrat Rep. Gerry Connolly declared, in an unhinged speech on the House floor, that “the Ukrainian-Russian border is OUR border.”
Connolly was raging at Republicans opposing the aid package to Ukraine before Saturday’s vote.
“Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first,” Connolly claimed. “The Ukrainian-Russian border is our border! It’s the border between depraved autocracy and freedom-loving people seeking our democratic way of life! Do we have a stake in that outcome? Yes. Undeniably, yes.”
The melodramatic pontificating continues with Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA). "Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first," bellows Connolly. "The Ukrainian Russian border is OUR border!"
This is the twisted talk of a deranged Luciferian-influenced globalist. He’s no longer even capable of seeing the interests of his own people, and his definition of protecting America centers on how much of our hard-earned tax dollars he can ship overseas to foriegn governments to fritter away on new war-making mischief. It matters not that this policy of endless war is killing more than 1,000 Ukrainians per day, and their government is now kidnapping middle-aged men off the streets to send them to the front.
And any foreign government that acts to discourage or repress the worst aspects of humanity is labeled a “depraved autocracy,” while encouraging mankind to live in actual depravity is called “freedom loving” and “democratic.”
When the Uniparty operatives in the Democrat and Republican parties refer to “our democracy,” they’re referring to their version of a demented and perverted ideology that operates like a death cult. Their idols are abortion on demand (they only argue now over how old of an unborn baby it’s OK to kill), LGBTQ obsessions, toxic injections for all, and perpetual war.
As the Bible says, woe to those who call good evil and evil good.
Our politicians are on a mission to crash and burn what’s left of Western civilization. Will you let them offer up your child or grandchild to the globalist death cult? Let me know in the comments below.

Uniparty devils sending $95 billion to corrupt foreign governments – $300 million goes to prevent Ukrainians from escaping military draft by fleeing to Poland
Here’s a GREAT Post from “America First” Russ Vought, the former OMB Director under Trump and current President of the Center for Renewing America.
I can understand those who are baffled that conservatives are entertaining removing Mike Johnson from being speaker in an election year with a small majority. I haven’t really weighed in bc I understand the pros and cons. But those watching from the outside need to understand the magnitude of what Johnson is doing. Funding Ukraine & acting as the third party payer of that endless war has rightfully become a mini Brexit for many of us.
The neocon foreign policy establishment is determined to keep us in this role of bill payer & imperial leader. We want out, yesterday. It’s killing and exhausting our country. It’s leading to more war internationally.
Mike Johnson made commitments not to fund Ukraine without securing the border. I wish he had said regardless, but it was a tangible/reasonable approach. He is now violating that promise bc global elites (David Cameron etc.) and ruling class Republicans are in a complete freak out and guess what…he agrees with them! He is a neocon. That is what is happening. So Mike Johnson is now touching the stove and may light himself on fire. This is after being worse than utter mediocrity when it comes to the spending fights, refusing to use the power of the purse, and flipping his position on reforming FISA after a SCIF brief.
I don’t know what is going to happen and if he goes down, I expect a complete meltdown from Con Inc. But Mike Johnson will be responsible for his own demise for choosing to govern against the clear wishes of the vast majority of grassroots conservatives who are educated on the issues.
And that is no longer a survivable place to be for any GOP leader and thank God for it.

“Compromise is the art of losing slowly” — Dr. Rich Swier, patriot, author and publisher.
Republicans, unlike Democrats, are determined to compromise in order to get things done. But does their strategy of compromise work? We think not.
A perfect example of this ability to compromise and by doing so losing is that of Speaker Mike Johnson and the most recent budget bill.
As President George Washington wrote,“We must consult our means rather than our wishes.”
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. said, “Don’t tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value.”
$400,000 requested by Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) for Briarpatch Youth Services in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. The group promises to hide minors’ struggle with gender dysphoria from their parents while indoctrinating teens in extreme gender ideology.
$400,000 requested by Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.) for the Mazzoni Center in Philadelphia, which carries out transgender hormone shots, clears the way for transgender surgeries, advertises transgender services for minors, and holds drag show fundraisers.
$1,808,000 requested by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed (both D-R.I.) for Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, which carries out first- and second-term abortions at its Family Planning Clinic.
$650,000 requested by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) for Dartmouth Hitchcock Nashua in New Hampshire. “We routinely provide both medication and procedural abortion care up to 22 weeks of pregnancy,” the group declares.
$780,000 requested by Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) for Amador Health Services in Las Cruces, New Mexico, which boasts that it “can provide transgender/gender non-conforming (GNC) health education, therapeutic counseling and referrals, and additional LGBTQ+ support that puts your safety and comfort first.

Democrats don’t compromise. Republicans have shown that they are willing to bow down to the Democrats wishes being is policy, fiscal or social.
Remember that immediately after the inauguration of Joseph Robinett Biden Jr. the formed the J6 Committee. Since then they have placed in prison over 1,200 American on trumped up charges.
America’s patriots are looking for a little less talk and a lot more action from Republicans from the schoolhouse to the White House.
We have a candidate President Donald J. Trump who is a patriot and has promised concrete action to right our rapidly sinking ship of state.
This is why the November 5th 2024 election is so very important to restore and strengthen our Constitutional Republic form and government and equal justice under our laws.
C.S. Lewis wrote, “Do not let us mistake necessary evils for good.”
The time for compromise is over. Speaker Johnson, “Impeach Biden now!”
🚨 Mike Johnson fully funded the weaponized Department of Justice at the same level Nancy Pelosi did as Joe Biden is trying to put President Trump in jail for the rest of his life!

The White House said Tuesday that it would not entertain a compromise with Speaker Mike Johnson to connect an aid package for Ukraine with a reversal of the Biden administration’s moratorium on approvals for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals, according to Bloomberg News.
Johnson reportedly suggested that such a compromise could be a workable solution for both parties to take care of high-priority items on their respective agendas, but the White House has made clear that the deal is dead on arrival, according to Bloomberg News. The right flank of the House Republican conference has opposed a new major aid package for Ukraine, while the White House is doubling down on its LNG exports pause after environmentalist groups showered the Biden administration with praise for its Jan. 26 decision on the issue.
“The president has been clear that House Republicans should pass the bipartisan national security agreement that already passed the Senate as soon as possible to get Ukraine the aid it urgently needs to defend itself from Russian tyranny,” the White House said in a statement, according to Bloomberg News. “The president supports the pause on pending, additional approvals of LNG export licenses to evaluate the economic and climate impacts on consumers and communities.”
Could Joe Biden's Natural Gas Pause Cost Dems The Senate In November?https://t.co/57P0eAOGYJ
The Senate passed a $95 billion aid package for aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan in February, but the House has yet to approve the bill and send it to President Joe Biden’s desk. The president has called on House Republicans to pass the foreign aid bill on numerous occasions, including during his State of the Union Address in March.
During a Sunday appearance on Fox News, Johnson intimated that he was thinking about linking the two issues together in a single piece of legislation when the House returns to Washington after its spring recess.
Johnson reportedly floated the idea to connect Ukraine aid and a LNG pause reversal to Biden during a one-on-one meeting in March, according to Bloomberg News, which cited an individual with knowledge of the situation. Reuters previously reported that some in the White House were potentially willing to reverse the moratorium depending on what else was included in the compromise, but White House officials disputed that claim.
Climate activists — including the confrontational outfit called Climate Defiance and a 25-year old TikTok influencer — lobbied the Biden administration to impose the LNG moratorium ahead of the decision to do so. The pause will not reduce global emissions, but instead empower natural gas production in places like Russia and Qatar, energy sector experts previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The climate lobby and its activist voters are poised to be a key bastion of support for Biden in the 2024 race, with several organizations already endorsing his reelection campaign or declaring their plans to spendbig to stave off former President Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House.
The White House did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

When Mike Johnson was elected as Speaker, I had my suspicions regarding his capabilities. A few things immediately came to light which made me doubt he’d be any better than McCarthy. I voiced that opinion in emails and one of my friends commented, “But he prays in the House Chapel every morning.” I said, “So do the Muslims.”
I’ve always felt that anyone who proclaims their Christian faith over and over in public is hiding something. Mike Pence comes to mind.
My intuition aside, Mike Johnson is only one man. He has to deal with the Stalinist Party and the neo-con Trotskyites in his own party. With the Senate and the White House in the hands of the Democrats, his opportunities are few. However, he can and should completely terminate corrupt and unconstitutional legislation that would be catastrophic to America. And that includes standing firm against the $95 billion foreign aid package, which includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14.1 billion for Israel, and around $9.2 billion for “humanitarian assistance” in Gaza passed by the Senate without any border policy changes. Within this bill is a hidden impeachment clause that could backfire on Trump if he’s elected.
McCarthy to Johnson
Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted after Rep. Matt Gaetz filed a motion to remove McCarthy for not keeping his promises. His term as House speaker lasted only nine months. Republicans dropped him because he broke his promises and made backroom deals with Biden and House Democrats. McCarthy’s Leadership PAC received funding from Sequoia Capital, an important investment firm promoting business in China. Critics say McCarthy “shut down” investigations into the CCP’s deals with Sequoia, BlackRock, and other Wall Street firms.
Congressman McCarthy only voted with the US Constitution 50% of the time.
On October 25, 2023, with a vote of 220, Mike Johnson was elected Speaker of the House. He votes with the Constitution only 67% of the time.
Johnson calls himself a Constitutional attorney, yet he is a proponent of Mark Meckler’s Convention of States (CoS), which is heavily funded by the Koch organizations. As I’ve stated in past articles, the CoS is an Article V Constitutional Convention. Council on Foreign Relations and CoS board member, Robert George, has already rewritten the Second Amendment of our unalienable Bill of Rights. This deceitfully promoted convention is not simply to propose new amendments; it is to totally replace or change our founding document.
The House Republican majority is weakening. Since Mr. Johnson has become Speaker, Rep. George Santos has been expelled from Congress despite being “innocent until proven guilty.” The charges against him were brought by United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The House ousted Santos without a conviction or without having committed treason. Democrat Tom Suozzi replaced him.
McCarthy decided to leave the House at the end of December 2023.
Should Gaetz be forced to resign, the House would precariously hold the majority by only five votes.
Hannity’s Interview with Speaker Johnson
In introducing the nation to the new speaker, the first hour of Sean Hannity’s interview was a one-on-one interview with Mike Johnson.
Johnson spoke about President Biden’s mental decline which is obvious to both Americans and foreign leaders.
He was asked what he believes, and commented that people need only open their Bibles to understand Mike Johnson.
He mentioned that both Chip Roy (R-TX) and Byron Donalds (R-FL) were working on plans for Continuing Resolutions (CRs) cutting spending by eight percent, securing the border and protecting our military and veterans. They’ve yet to come up with anything but “clean” CRs and have not even attempted a budget. Both Roy and Donalds support an Article V Constitutional Convention. (Roy actually nominated Donalds for Speaker.)
Speaker Johnson ended the first hour saying, “Look, this place is filled with people of good faith, deep conviction and they understand the necessity of working together.”
I don’t think so, Speaker Johnson.
His first bill, a $14.3 billion dollar aid package to Israel passed the House 213-200, but was shut down in the Senate and slammed by President Biden. Nice theatre though.
Johnson, who inherited the problem of a potential government shutdown when he was elected to the role after weeks of paralysis, saw 93 members of his conference in the Republican-controlled lower legislative chamber vote against his proposal. Almost all Democrats, 209 members, voted for the plan with two voting against it. Why did 93 Republicans vote against it? Because almost all “clean continuing resolutions” prolong government funding at current levels without any policy changes. They don’t want repeats of McCarthy’s CRs, they want changes made!
On February 29th, the House passed another clean CR; 207 Democrats joined 113 Republicans in a 320-99 vote to approve the short-term stopgap measure, which buys Congress more time to agree on funding for the full fiscal year that began Oct. 1.
Again, nothing is in these CRs about the border! Do the American people realize what this is costing us? An illegal alien family of four can get government assistance to the tune of $20,000 a month. You read that right, $20,000 a month! Watch the eight- minute video!
The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bill passed on December 6th, 2023. It does not overturn the Pentagon’s policy of reimbursing servicemembers who travel to obtain abortions, and it drops House language which would have blocked coverage of transition surgeries for transgender troops.
But there’s more….
Speaker Johnson tossed into the “must-pass” bill yet another extension of Section 702 of the FISA Act; it’s not surprising that he wanted to rush the bill through without the possibility of amendment. Section 702 allows the government to intercept and retain without a warrant the communications of any American who is in contact with a non-US citizen. It is clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment which is supposed to protect Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures. The NDAA also contained a $600 million gift to the corrupt government of Ukraine. Senate votes. House votes.
By a vote of 250 to 180, the House voted against the legislation that would send $17.6 billion to Israel, with 166 Democrats and 14 Republicans opposing the measure. It fell short because it was introduced under an expedited procedure requiring a two-thirds majority for passage. The vote was largely along party lines, although 14 Republicans opposed the bill and 46 Democrats supported it.
In the first vote to impeach DHS Mayorkas, four republicans voted against the impeachment. One wonders why Johnson called a vote if he didn’t know that Ken Buck (R-CO), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Blake Moore (R-UT) and Mike Gallagher (R-WI) would vote against it.
In the second vote, Blake Moore switched, bringing the vote to 214-213 for Mayorkas’ impeachment. Doesn’t say much for the 213 who voted against impeachment of the man who is allowing America’s invasion from China and third world countries.
The only Palestinian member of Congress, Rashida Tlaib, was censored for her anti-Semitic rhetoric by House Republicans and Democrats with a vote of 234-188. The punishment is one step below expulsion from the House. She should have been ousted like Santos. She’s a Hamas Trojan Horse.
Second Hour Interview
In the second hour of the Hannity interview, House Republicans were brought in and a number of them spoke about various topics. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Tom Emmer (R-MN) are seated next to Speaker Johnson. Scalise votes with the Constitution 67% of the time, Stefanik 60% and Emmer 70%.
They conversed about border security, Biden and his son, Hunter, energy independence, fiscal sanity, law and order, the rule of law and moral clarity. Hannity asked them about the prospect of domestic terrorism with an open border, the purported weaponization of government, as well as the cognitive state of Joe Biden.
Elise Stefanik is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, as are other House Republicans. On February 17th, I received a form letter from Speaker Johnson. He requested that we help his loyal friend, Elise Stefanik win her re-election, as she knows exactly what is at stake in 2024.
Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Byron Donalds (R-FL) were also featured with Speaker Johnson. Lawler votes with the Constitution only 35% of the time. As for Byron Donalds, he’s no friend of liberty and freedom.
Donalds, has been working with the Democrats to advance digital currency. At the Collier County Republican Men’s breakfast in July of 2022, Byron Donalds said, “The Democrats have promised it will never be used for tracking law abiding citizens.”
Is he naïve or one of them? The Stalinist Democrat Party is who put J6ers in prison. It is why Speaker Johnson courageously blurred the faces of people at the Capitol on January 6th on the portions of the videos released.
However, only .04% of the videos are available to the public. The House January 6th Committee deleted more than 100 encrypted files days before GOP took majority. Totally unconstitutional, but then consider who was on the committee. Johnson is allegedly trying to have those files decrypted.
In October of 2022, at Alfie Oakes’ Seed to Table, another public meeting was held where Donalds again was promoting digital currency. Alfie Oakes is also promoting the destruction of our 1787 Constitution by advocating an Article V Convention, just like Byron Donalds, Ron DeSantis and Mike Johnson.
Donalds is also tied to Americans for Prosperity, a Koch organization, who are for open borders, gay marriage, abortion and UN Agenda 21/30. Link, Link. They are also funding and promoting another Constitutional Convention, just like Soros’ Open Society foundations.
A few years ago, Byron’s wife allegedly tried to do a hostile takeover of Mason Classical Academy. There’s a lot of bitterness in the community because they wanted to run the charter school, Mason Classical Academy, which has one of the top ratings in the country. They did not conceive of the charter school, but had, at one time, been on the board. Kelly Lichter and her husband Nick were the founders. As a state Representative, Byron tried to write bills to make it easier for his wife to accomplish the takeover.
At a Republican Executive Committee meeting a few months ago, Donalds and his top staff member, Larry Wilcoxson, tried to start a public argument and disagreement with Kelly Lichter. They were backing her leftist opponent. Tensions boiled to such a point that Florida Politics reported it. A video lasting two minutes and 19 seconds mostly shows Donalds, with staffers Jesse Purdon and Larry Wilcoxson, speaking inaudibly with Lichter in a corner of the store.
Larry Wilcoxson allegedly takes home a six-figure salary. He is the top aide to Donalds and is his best friend.
He was arrested in 2014 for grand theft auto, a third-degree felony. In 2006, he was charged with three counts of child molestation of a 13-year-old girl in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2008, Wilcoxson was arrested for charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery with a weapon. He had previously been fired for allegedly exposing himself to a female school custodian at Indianapolis’ Donnan Middle School while he was a substitute teacher. In 2006, Collier County records indicate Wilcoxson was the defendant in several traffic cases and a paternity suit.
Many of the family grassroots leaders call this man, Wilcoxson, “Byron’s thug.” Before anyone backs Byron, they need to do their homework, and that includes Donald Trump.
Why choose the neo-con Trotskyites, the WEF members, and the likes of Byron Donalds to speak with Hannity as top Republicans? Why weren’t true conservative House members like Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Clay Higgins (R-LA), Thomas Massey (R-KY) and a few others featured with Johnson?
Unspoken Issues
The invasion at the southern border should be at the top of concerns, yet everything but the border has been discussed. Four months has passed since Johnson became speaker, and the border is still wide open. The filth flowing into our country will vote in the November elections, and the increase in crime is already obvious. Ten million illegal aliens have entered our country under Joe Biden, including Chinese communists, Middle East terrorists, and criminals from third world nations. It is the Cloward-Piven Marxist strategy to overload the system and collapse the economy.
There was no mention of the alleged 2020 election fraud, the J6 prisoners, the January 6th videos being totally released, how they will succeed in closing the border, health care, our military, the perversion in education, how deeply they will cut spending, who those cuts will impact, and the massive debt.
Donald Trump’s name was never mentioned.
Neither was abortion.
Speaker Johnson had killed the abortion ban in Louisiana in 2022 while serving as US Congressman. Pastors Jeff Durbin and Brian Gunter discussed exactly how Johnson killed the pro-life bill that would have banned abortion in Louisiana.
You’ll want to see the 26-minute video between these two pastors and how disappointed they were.
Pastor Gunter called Johnson’s tactics, “Pragmatism rather than principle.”
All the national, state and local pro-life groups were against this bill, HB813. (Loss of Louisiana funding?) Mike told Pastors Durbin and Gunter that he agreed with the bill, but it was the wrong time to pass the legislation since they have a razor-thin majority in the US Congress, the Louisiana state house and the Governorship. That was his excuse. The Pastors asked, “Is there ever a wrong time to do the right thing?” Amos 5:15, “Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.” Congressman Johnson threatened these Baptist pastors that if they moved forward with this bill, it would damage their careers.
We are 34.4 trillion dollars in debt and the interest payments on that debt dwarfs all other government spending!
