Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says he plans to invite Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress. What better way for Netanyahu to counter Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s completely inappropriate and disgraceful speech he delivered that encouraged Israel to hold an election while Israel is at war? Schumer […]
House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly faced fire from other top elected officials — including Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — during a meeting at the White House Tuesday that was described as “intense.” Johnson met with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and McConnell, who each pressured him […]
If we were living in more normal times, this news would barely merit a mention. President Joe Biden is reportedly summoning the four top congressional leaders for a meeting to discuss spending bills intended to provide foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel, as well as a larger spending bill needed to avert a potential government […]
Americans do not live in a democracy. Nor do we live in a constitutional republic. With each passing day, we learn in real time that our elected officials both constitute and serve a ruling oligarchy. See, for instance, the vulgar, unfiltered (and thus authentic) indignation expressed by Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania toward a […]
House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled Monday that the House would not consider voting on a foreign aid package that the Senate eventually passed on Tuesday.
