'How Mike Johnson became House speaker after 3 chaotic weeks'
https://www.cbsnews.com/video/how-mike- … tic-weeks/

Following the ouster of Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, Johnson was elected as the 56th Speaker of the House

Graduated from a Law Center before getting into politics, he seems to link Ark Encounter is a Christian young Earth creationist (YEC) theme park that opened in Williamstown, Kentucky. Online News Reports said it has Adam and Eve with Big Lizard Dinosaurs, the theme park promotes pseudoscientific young Earth creationist beliefs about the age of the universe, age of the Earth, and co-existence of humans and non-avian dinosaurs. We Believe in Dinosaurs is a 2019 American documentary about the controversy surrounding the construction of the Ark Encounter museum in Williamstown, Kentucky. The museum features a scale model replica of Noah's Ark, its goal is to promote young earth creationism and disprove evolution. Andy Biggs from Arizona proposed Johnson as a possible compromise candidate for Speaker of the House.

He might link to overseas religious types, an Australian Christian, young Earth creationist, Ken Ham has praised Johnson for his work, calling him one of the only "godly men" in Washington, D.C. the Australian Ham rejects 'climate change' as a conspiracy.

New House Speaker Mike Johnson Lays Out Plans to Impeach Biden
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharno … n-n2630484

Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA.) suggests that one of his first business orders is to advance efforts to impeach President Joe Biden. During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Johnson said that removing Biden from office is a real possibility due to the president's ties to his family's corrupt money-funneling scheme. Johnson said that the Republican Party is the rule-of-law party and will follow the truth where it leads and engage in due process. "We have the receipts on so much of this now," Johnson explained

Re: Politics

Iranian Navy's Perspective of U.S. Carrier Strike Group in the Persian Gulf
https://funker530.com/video/iranian-nav … sian-gulf/

Drone video released by the Iranian government as a threat shows the Iranian perspective of the U.S.S. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group conducting a transit through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf. According to the Iranian government, they demanded that the U.S.S. Eisenhower keep all flight operations grounded until the transit was complete and the U.S. Navy complied because they were deathly afraid of what the Iranian Navy would do.

The reality of the situation is that the Iranian drone was still airborne at the courtesy of the U.S. Navy, and flight operations remained grounded because there was no need for the pilots to be in the air at the time. Had Iranian Naval Vessels come with in range of interfering with U.S. Naval Operations, there's a more than 100% chance that the Iranian ships would have taken a visit to meet with the 1988 Iranian Fleet that was entirely destroyed as a proportional response to a mine strike on the USS Samuel B. Roberts.

After leaving government, he formed Kissinger Associates, an international geopolitical consulting firm.

The capital city of Guyana is Georgetown. Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Brazil to the south and southwest, Venezuela to the west, and Suriname to the east, it is not far from the French/European launch site of French Guiana a further distance to the East, a more far distance again beyond the West is Colombia, with the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago island country and  Caribbean sea nearby,  French, Spanish and English explorers visited the area, then Dutch and English settlers arrived, for a time it was a British colony, it became a single British colony known as British Guiana. It has a mix of mostly Christianity belief and some other faiths like Hinduism, some Sharia Law mohammedan islamic types, Buddhist, Jewish and other pagan shaman folk religions as other minority religious groups.

Expulsion is the most serious form of disciplinary action that does not involve a 'Rebellion' or a Revolution and a King getting shot, it is a Democrat way of removing a corrupt person or person seen as corrupt, Excommunication happens by religious and Political Censure a less severe form of disciplinary action.

The expulsion was the sixth in the history of the United States House

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil suit a year and a half later accusing the Harbor City Capital company of running a $17 million Ponzi scheme. Santos has given inconsistent explanations of the company's business.

Santos, a friend from that time in Brazil says, he was very involved in local Gay Homosexual Lesbian LGBT activism, handing out leaflets and regularly attending meetings of a local activist group and Pride parades. Two former acquaintances said that he competed as a drag queen in Brazilian beauty pageants in 2008 using the drag name Kitara Ravache

In May 2023, a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York indicted Santos on 13 criminal charges: seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. Prosecutors accused Santos of "three distinct schemes":

Sexual harassment allegation
https://web.archive.org/web/20230205011 … myers.html
Also in February 2023, Derek Myers, the prospective staffer who secretly recorded Santos admitting "errors of judgment" in making some of his claims, filed a sexual harassment complaint against Santos with the House Ethics Committee, alleging Santos had touched his groin inappropriately while inviting him out to a karaoke bar and telling Myers that his husband was out of town. Myers also alleged that Santos had violated House rules by having him work as a volunteer for a week before his paperwork was processed.

the political debate is heated at College and University, at times it goes beyond normal

Asunción "Sunny" Hostin and a show that lectures people called 'The View'

calls for physical violence are one thing that goes beyond normal but other events might be considered words and this is a protected speech issue.

https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2023/1 … s-n2167278

even mentions 'Genocide' . What did I see online, I have seen videos in social media of Arab looking and sounding types and the usual 'Rent A Crowd' types join together and say 'F**K Israel' and some even chanting 'Gas The Jews' in Western countries including the USA.



the French tried secularism for a while or pretended to try it for a while...until

'Free Speech'
This one could go in that topic
or crazy speak

The preaching alt-right Doomsday radio show host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones who interviews the Lizard Alien guy David Icke, hangs out with the Flat Earth types on Joe Rogan's show. I don't know how to describe him to anyone who does not already know the guy, maybe he is many conspiracy rolled into one giant conspiracy mixed with religious rants and claimed governments and businesses have colluded to create a "New World Order" he seems to have been Anti-Democrat and Anti-Republican and Pro Doomsday prepper 'Liberty' rants but in recent years went to rally supporting Trump, he got sued after calling school shootings 'a hoax'.
Alex Jones went speaking on Director Robert Rodriguez' new film with Danny Trejo, he said the movie would spark Mexicans to kill US Citizens across America in a 'Race War'.
He said the world would collapse during Y2K making people cry, run out of their cars, cause general panic like an Orson Welles’s “War of the Worlds” broadcast that the world would end as computers failed on Year 2000.
Jones seems to be deeply paranoid and tweeted a Periscope video calling on others to get their "battle rifles" ready against antifa, the mainstream media, and Chicom operatives.
https://web.archive.org/web/20180815200 … n-infowars
Social media companies such as Facebook, Youtube, Twitter (now X) have issued many restrictions and bans on him for various reasons,  Vimeo removed all of Alex Jones's videos stating it was because of "prohibitions on discriminatory and hateful content".
https://web.archive.org/web/20180813130 … ul-1070036
Some people try to ignore Alex Jones as a raving lunatic or say he is an idiot, it is difficult to truly class him as right or left he is generally anti-government other than his support for Trump, he has so many outrageous statements and broadcasts he makes other 'rightwings' like Piers Morgan, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Savage or Limbaugh seem almost normal.

As soon as Alex Jones was unbanned he starts re-tweeting an islamic pimp Andrew Tate who was arrested in Romania.

https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/TateSpeech

Tate is widely known for showing off the wealth he got from his camgirl business, and for owning multiple casinos in Romania. He also has investments in cryptocurrency and runs Hustler's University, claiming that it is worth over 300 million dollars. However, Hustler's University is accused of being a pyramid scheme due to its members getting cuts for their affiliate links, and the quality of the courses offered. He is also the founder of a membership program called The War Room.

Tate's house was raided in 2017 for alleged sexual abuse after he kicked one of his girlfriends out of the house, due to refusing to clean up after herself, after he did not pay her for her camgirl work; no charges were filed after a four-year investigation. He has cited this as one of his reasons to emigrate to Romania. Vice later interviewed said girl in a 2023 documentary regarding Tate.

On March 4, 2023, Tate's manager Jules announced that Tate had been diagnosed with lung cancer. Tate later denied the rumors.
