Mike Johnson’s Latest Spending Scheme Proves He’s Democrats’ Useful Idiot

Mike Johnson is a pathetic excuse for a Republican who has no business being speaker, let alone a congressman.
It’s another day that ends in “-y,” which means House Speaker Mike Johnson is busy stabbing conservative voters in the back.
Following days of backdoor scheming, congressional leaders released the text of their 1,547-page spending measure to fund the federal government through March 2025. Deceptively marketed as a “continuing resolution” or CR, the bill bears all the hallmarks of the bloated omnibus packages Johnson recently promised voters wouldn’t happen under his watch.
“We have broken the Christmas omni and I have no intention of going back to that terrible tradition,” Johnson told reporters in September. “So, there won’t be a Christmas omnibus.”
Now here we are in December, and what do have but a massive omnibus filled with all the pork items on the D.C. establishment’s wish list.
A skim through the gargantuan bill reveals numerous unnecessary provisions, including those related to “American music tourism,” informing consumers about cameras on smart phones, and consumer safety standards for certain types of batteries.
Among the most alarming, however, is a one-year extension of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC).
