MIKE JOHNSON’S Bipartisan Approach Sparks Debate Within His Own Party
— Mike Johnson upholds his commitment to bipartisan leadership, despite facing backlash from some party members. In a recent interview, Buck highlighted Johnson’s focus on evaluating legislative packages solely on their merits, not party lines. This method demonstrates the unique leadership necessary in today’s divided political climate at Capitol Hill.
During the conversation, concerns emerged about possible compromises made with Democrats to gain their support. Marjorie Taylor Greene voiced doubts about these agreements, questioning what Johnson had to give up in exchange for Democratic backing. Despite these concerns, Buck remains hopeful about the longevity of such bipartisan efforts based on the specific legislation involved.
Buck is confident that Mike Johnson will navigate through internal party disputes and maintain his role as a leader who collaborates across party boundaries for effective governance. “I think Mike survives,” he declared, underscoring Johnson’s persistence and commitment to advancing important legislation despite facing criticism.
JOHNSON’S Shocking U-Turn: Unveils Separate Israel AID Bill Plan
— In a surprising twist, Johnson has unveiled a plan to separate the aid for Israel. This unexpected move, disclosed in a Saturday letter to his colleagues, marks a dramatic shift from his earlier position.
Under Johnson’s leadership last year, the House approved a colossal $14.3 trillion bill to support Israel in its conflict with Hamas. The funding was balanced with an equivalent cut in IRS funding but is still awaiting Senate consideration.
However, it seems that the Senate is gearing up to examine a more comprehensive aid package this year. This includes substantial aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan along with an undisclosed border agreement.
Despite doubts about the fate of the border and foreign aid bill in the Senate, Johnson’s recent maneuvers suggest promising possibilities for additional assistance to Israel.
MASSIVE Stand Against ANTISEMITISM: Boris Johnson Joins Thousands in Historic London March
— On Sunday, an unprecedented number of people, including former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, took to the streets of London to protest against antisemitism. The march was strategically organized a day after a large pro-Palestinian rally and amidst rising tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Organizers hailed it as the most significant demonstration against antisemitism in nearly a century.
The crowd was a sea of Israeli flags and Union Jacks, with participants bearing powerful placards like “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.” Alongside Johnson, U.K. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and other high-ranking government officials marched in unity with the Jewish community.
Notably detained at the event was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, former leader of the far-right English Defence League. Earlier this month, Robinson had an altercation with police during an Armistice Day march in London after refusing to leave despite warnings that his presence could distress others.
Among those marching was 75-year-old Malcolm Canning from London who voiced his concerns about current anti-Jewish sentiment. He expressed his alarm at how anything associated with Judaism feels under attack now and lamented reaching such a stage in this country.

NEW Speaker Johnson’s BOLD Pledge: Strong Support for Israel, Fierce Condemnation of Hamas
— In his inaugural public appearance as Speaker, Johnson made an impassioned pledge of unwavering support for Israel while denouncing the Palestinian terror group Hamas. The tales of survival from Israelis who endured Hamas attacks deeply affected him, leading him to label the group as “demonic”.
Johnson steps into the shoes of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), a well-known ally of Israel, and promises to carry on this legacy. He highlighted that his first resolution was in favor of Israel and that he made it a point to meet with the Republican Jewish Coalition on his initial trip.
He expressed concern over anti-Israel sentiments within the House’s Democratic Party caucus, attributing these views to an alarming rise in antisemitism within Congress, universities, and even media outlets. Johnson had a stern message for the UN: peace will only be achieved when Hamas no longer poses a threat to Israel.
Deeply rooted in religious faith and guided by Biblical teachings that link blessings with support for Israel, Johnson emphasized the crucial role of U.S.-Israel alliance. He confidently declared his conviction that both America and Israel have yet more chapters to add to their storied histories.
