Does anyone think the new speaker will last more than 6 weeks. For all our sakes, I certainly hope so. I don't know much about Mike Johnson, but at first blush, sounds like he votes quite conservatively, but more importantly, he seems principle-driven, faith-grounded, and more inclined than Jordan ...

They were hoping to punish McCarthy for agreeing to negotiate with the Democrats and for bringing the budget resolution to the floor that prevented a government shutdown. Yet the eight led by Gaetz, sided with the Democrats to oust McCarthy. Makes no sense. I suppose Democrats could have acted to s...

With a couple of refreshing exceptions, the Court of Mennonet Armchair Zealots, despite a striking dearth of accurate facts, has clearly arrived at a verdict it is happy with regarding all things Sattler and FoTW. Given the general eagerness to seize upon any salacious rumor that supports the chose...

One more word, in my view the issues were primarily due to governance problems. I don't blame him, but in short Finny's power economically, positionally at Sattler.
