Two days ago, Mike Johnson, R. LA, was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. The very best thing I’ve heard about him is that his pockets are not full of dirty money, and that K Street (the lobbyists) fear him. Here’s is Bannon’s War Room assessment.
Mike Johnson’s first act after his elevation to Speaker, was to invite the media into the House Chamber. He then led the House in a prayer to God, for guidance and strength. The next thing he did was take a large group of his constituents on a tour of the Capitol. He prayed in the lion’s den, as it were - in the same building where, just 6 months ago, a children’s choir was thrown out for singing our national anthem. Then, he did something for his constituents. Wow. Good signs, for sure, but read on…
Here are highlights of his background, before and after he entered Congress.
Speaker Johnson is 51 years old, and has represented Louisiana’s 4th District snce 2017. He is a graduate of LA State University, and its Law Center. He is one of four children of parents who later divorced.
Before his election to Congress, Johnson was Senior Counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom, and defended LA’s Amendment 1 of its Constitution, which defined mariage as between one man and one woman. He and his wife went public in the ‘90’s to promote Louisiana state law on covenant marriage, which is an attempt to minimize divorce. He founded “Legal Guard”, a non-profit ministery to defend Christians in lawsuit. As its chief counsel, he defended clients such as Ark Encounter. The left HATES Ark Encounter, because it is a biblical theme park, as it were. They prefer gender dysphoric, child trafficking Disney, and public drag shows.
Mike Johnson defines his own legal career as defending religious liberty, the sanctity of human life and other Biblical values such as the defense of traditional marriage and family values. The amount of utter spew about Johnson in the MSM news for the last 48 hours, is really fun!
Mike Johnson was also on Trump’s legal defense team during the first impeachment. The Guardian reports that he “played a key role in assisting Trump’s effort to ‘overturn’ the election.” “Johnson’s arguments gave Republicans a way to continue to object to the election…without endorsing Trump’s outlandish claim of fraud.” (Remember, The Guardian is one of those MSM Lefties.)
His Liberty Score in the Conservative Review is 75%, which means he votes with the other side one out of four times. I personally wish this were higher, but when you peruse the bills in which he has joined the left, and the ones in which he has remained conservative, you’ll see that It may not be as bad as it could be.
Here is his bio on his campaign website, to balance Wikipedia and the Guardian, et. al.
Mike Johnson won his latest term unopposed. I can see why.
While we can’t rush to judgment, I’ll have to say, up front, that this could be another break in the clouds that have formed over our Republic. My thoughts on learning about our new Speaker, feel a bit like what I experiences when I learned of the “instant revival” which spread around the world, from that small KY university in Feb., 2023 . Mike Johnson’s candidacy for speaker seemed to come out of nowhere, too. If he holds true to his beliefs and history, he will be exactly what we need.
OK, you can criticize me for positivity, but I tell you like I see it. Might be, Johnson’s Speakership, like that revival, came from “Upstairs”…. No, I’m not being mystic or naive. I just reserve the right to keep the faith…as it were. Pray for him and for America. This could be the start of something big.
Blessings,

God ALWAYS has a plan. God ALWAYS wins. No one is privy to what those plans may be and we don't need to be. My trust is in my Savior, NOT man. “'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '” — Jeremiah 29:11. EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Let go and let God.
Thank you Kat! All I know, is that the power of God/Creator is so powerful, that there are no words for It. God can do anything, and many things cannot be explained in human terms.
