GP: A Historic Moment for Louisiana and the GOP as Johnson Emerges Victorious in a Tumultuous Leadership Battle
On Wednesday, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) was elected as the new House Speaker of the 118th United States Congress after twenty-two days, with fourteen candidates vying, four nominees, and four floor votes.
During the roll call, it was noted that 429 members were present to cast their votes: 220 were Republicans, with one member absent, while 209 were Democrats, with three absentees. Johnson achieved the 220 out of 215 votes needed to claim the sought-after Speaker’s gavel.
Former GOP nominees Jim Jordan, Tom Emmer, Steve Scalise, and former speaker Kevin McCarthy voted for Mike Johnson for House Speaker.
Just hours before the pivotal vote, Johnson took to social media platform X to make a powerful, patriotic statement. Displaying an image of the American flag, with time-honored phrase “IN GOD WE TRUST.” more. h/t Catturd.
Hallelujah!
NYT cut out their video just as he was coming up to speak 🙁
what else can you expect from the slimes
Darn it, now they can work on legislation. We had a reprieve there for a bit.
Good for him. From all appearances, he seems like the real deal. Now, Gaetz and his merry band of malcontents need to STFU, and get back to work. We still got big problems to tackle; border security, telling Ukraine to FOAD, but mostly, all these dudes need a crash course in econ 101 and learn the value of a dollar.
You know what would be awesome?
If he started his Speakership by declining an invitation to the White House, responding with “I will accept such an invitation when it is extended by the legitimate President of the United States, Donald Trump”.
I had my doubts but Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition, it’s RINO hunting season.
Imagine having a name that thousands of other Americans also have?
Pro tip for new parents:
If you have a generic last name try and be more creative when naming your newborn.
Hope this works.
They can work on legislation… but they can work on GOP legislation (which would never get passed but which would make a statement) or they can work on uniparty legislation, which would be bad. They can also work on impeachment of several people, release remaining J6 tapes, etc.
So which version are we going to see???
I’m shocked….shocked I tell ya! I cant believe we have a speaker that appears to be a conservative. Granted he has to prove himself but this seems like a step in the right direction. Among his priorities should be looking into the Biden crime family and releasing the J6 tapes.
I predict that the anti- Gaetz crowd may well be made to eat crow. Go take a listen at the War Room.
Loco, some first names come to mind; Lengthy, Massive, Woody, or Rock. Yeah, I went the porn angle.
I had heard great things about Johnson a few days ago and just figured he had no chance. I am shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Now do something.
Hats off to Joe 6pack, I wrote that before I read your comment.

“Imagine having a name that thousands of other Americans also have?”
Let us hope he gives us cause to nickname him “Big Johnson”.
Let’s hope he comes out fighting for real Americans.
Suspicious. Something ain’t right. I don’t trust these RINO bastards.
Come Nov 15th & the gummerment is shutdown it will be a job well done & approved by the former guy…. Now American voters on the other hand will say kiss your sorry ass goodbye & don’t let the door hit you on the way out come 11/24.
I’ll keep a wait and see attitude. Too many times have I been disappointed to just accept this as a halleluiah moment .
How about Big Dick Energy Johnson?
“Shove it up AOC’s tight Latinx ass Johnson”
I am still Suspicious Cat………..
We, the People, are looking for results, not rhetoric.
Produce…..it is both a noun and a VERB!
Meanwhile Truth Social has a higher calling, NEED CASH FAST!
200 mill refund due TODAY. Spare change welcomed. Bankruptcy in their future or Elon how about another social media website?
as the current and real head of the Republican party, thanks go to POTUS Trump for his unvarnished warning to all the GOP. He holds the votes needed to get any of them elected or reelected.
thank you, God.
The new Speaker sounds fantastic. A genuine patriot. His task is to prove it. Take care of The Peoples business first- cut off Xiden’s extortion payments to Ukraine and pay off to Hamas for committing atrocities against Isreal to start a war. Next, CLOSE the border. Open the Keystone and other premium US oil rich pipelines.
Then, will Biden is trying to figure out which door to exit January 2024, hit him with arrest warrants for him and his idiot deviant son, Hunter for treason.
That will convince me this Speaker of the House is effective. Able to convince moderate Democrats, if necessary to vote with Republicans to get the right things done – not making deals with the devil like McCarthy. We’ll see. The proof is in the pudding.
Judging by the left’s frantic pearl clutching, this may not be a bad pick. We shall see.
That won’t last long until the commie mfers steal another election and they regain the house!

Before getting all giddy, remember: he’s a politician.
He may be the greatest pick in the House, but that’s like being the least-smelly turd in the cesspool.
