Prediction: Israel will get what Israel wants.
Ukraine? Maybe not.
Then the new speaker better have a coherent and workable plan to keep what will be left of Ukraine as a sovereign and independent state from Russia.
Elbows up!

Why bother?
Constitutions, in general, do not last very long. The mean lifespan across the world since 1789 is 17 years. Interpreted as the probability of survival at a certain age, the estimates show that one-half of constitutions are likely to be dead by age 18, and by age 50 only 19 percent will remain. Infant mortality is quite high—a large percentage, approximately 7 percent, do not even make it to their second birthday.

Folks,
Lake City is no longer selling ammunition to the public. CSG in the Czech Republic, just bought Vista's sporting division (that 's Remington ammo, CCI and Speer) for $1.9B. Production details remain spotty.
We only have two companies that make primers. Things have gotten so bad and so far behind, American companies are buying Russian primers to stay afloat.
That's how far behind we are on ammunition production.
Y'all want that 5.56 to go Israel or Ukraine? Take your pick...

Am sure from the new Speaker’s perspective the money and assistance must go to Israel.
Ukraine will just have to go back to being a truncated vassal state of Russia run by Kremlin Quislings.

Can't find the story at the moment, but Johnson, today, said that further aid to Ukraine is definitely ON the table.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I think it will be. But I've met Letlow, both the deceased husband and the wife. Mike and Letlow are very similar politically. Evangelical Christian. Very pro Israel.
What I'm saying, is that Ukraine may be funded, but it's going to take a backseat.
Perhaps the rest of NATO will step up some more?

Let's hope so. It would be a real shame if the GOP House became the political wing of the Tucker Carlson show.

Well, seems like you've already made up your mind.

I would wager that Johnson does not see Russia for what it is. He was born in 1972, he was ten when Reagan was in power, he was teen when Gorbachev introduced Glasnost’ and the Berlin Wall came down. A young adult when the USSR was dissolved. He has zero personal experience or memory of the Cold War.
As a result, I doubt very much whether he even perceives the revanchist Russia as much of a global threat to security. When he sees the mischief it is undertaking in support of Hamas and Iran in the Middle East he just might wake up to the fact that what Russia is becoming is diametrically opposed to everything the US is and represents in the world.

Not really, I honestly have no idea about him at all. But I do hope that the USA doesn't decide to abandon Ukraine to its fate.

Five things he told fellow Republicans:
That's a tall order.

I like this:
-
Fund the government on time with all single subject appropriations bills passing the House by June 30 — or no recess til it’s done.
-
Pass real spending cuts, NOT budget gimmicks.
-
No short term, stop-gap funding of the government.
-
Enforce a true 72-hour rule allowing members and voters time to review legislation.
-
Make sure power is decentralized enough that almost all members feel they have a stake in bills passing on the House floor.

Browsing through the rest of the internet, such as Reddit and Twitter, the 'voices of reason' on the left seem unanimous that Mike is terrifying. There must be something about being a level headed, rational, adult in the room leftist, that requires one to find terrifying existential threats to our democracy behind every fucking corner. Pathetic.
Education is extremely important.

He actually had the balls to pray.
One article chided him for referring to 18th century values.
