Don't know anything about him...
Hopefully he's good.

More importantly, has the GOP pulled their collective heads out and started working together?

I know I know... that's expecting a lot from the GOP.

Time will tell…I feel optimistically though.

I want to be optimistic but CNN wasn't dissing him so I hope that doesn't mean he's really in their camp

Being conservative is one thing. (A good thing.) The ability to unite the GOP and independents against the leftists is crucial now.
 
Al Mohler endorsed him as a “solid evangelical”, associated with the SBC and Southern Seminary as well as a current adjunct prof at Liberty.

Two questions arise with his election...

Where was he in the considerations before?

How does a strong conservative suddenly get all this support when the "majority" has been so fractured and looking for a compromiser?

He’s only been a member of Congress for five years, so he’s relatively an unknown. That’s probably a good thing….
 
Of course CNN immediately characterizes him as one of the main actors in the attempt to overthrow the 2020 Election results. Figures.

A friend of mine from Baton Rouge met him and says he is a genuine conservative.
 
Being interviewed on Hannity right now…


“I’m a Bible-believing Christian, that’s my worldview”


Good stuff.

I watched his interview with Hannity and I was very impressed. I like him.

First, we see the media wonder if Johnson has a bank account, speculating he may be living paycheck-to-paycheck:
Newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) does not have a bank account.
At least, that’s what Johnson reports on years of personal financial disclosures, which date back to 2016 and reveal a financial life that, in the context of his role as a congressman and now speaker, appears extraordinarily precarious.
Over the course of seven years, Johnson has never reported a checking or savings account in his name, nor in the name of his wife or any of his children, disclosures show. In fact, he doesn’t appear to have money stashed in any investments, with his latest filing—covering 2022—showing no assets whatsoever.
Of course, it’s unlikely Johnson doesn’t actually have a bank account. What’s more likely is Johnson lives paycheck to paycheck—so much so that he doesn’t have enough money in his bank account to trigger the checking account disclosure rules for members of Congress.
Yet I haven’t seen them worry at all about the Bidens receiving tens of millions in kickbacks from foreign countries, or having twenty shell companies that seem to launder money.
They didn’t worry that Joe and Hunter shared a bank account, and that Joe had to have Hunter pay some of his bills… but they are worried about this?
 
The radical left will soon start a witch hunt to smear him in any way possible. Hope he stands firm and refuses to compromise! I like him!

CNN immediately categorized him as one of the main supporters of overthrowing the 2020 election. The day he was elected.
