Speaker of the Lie
The New Speaker of the House is a nice looking Christian man who believes we should take Trump at his word.
This is the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, from the state of Louisiana.
He looks like a man of integrity with average good looks, a solid head of hair, a respectable and honorable man, married, with five children.
His Wikipedia page says this about him:
Johnson describes himself as first and foremost a Christian. An evangelical and Southern baptist, he has said, ‘My faith informs everything I do.’
The Christian faith exhorts us not to bear false witness as written in the ninth commandment in the book of Exodus, 20:16
You should not be a false witness against your neighbor.
It prohibits us from making false statements or giving misleading testimony about others.
When Speaker Johnson is asked in a video interview about Donald Trump’s claim of a stolen election, he says this:
Well, listen, there a lot of people in Washington who say things that are not accurate all the time, everybody does we’re all human. But I will say this about President Trump with regard to the election and what he believes about that, that is deep in his heart. I mean, I’ve talked to him personally about it many of us have and over the years, you’ve heard him say, repeatedly over and over the same refrain, that he just felt like he was cheated in the election and I believe it’s a core conviction of his, when I say we should take him at his word on that. He believes it.
With the Courts ruling against Trump over and over again; with Trump’s Attorney General saying they found no fraud sufficient to overturn the election; with the U.S. States certifying the lawful Biden win, with Pence counting and Congress certifying a Biden win, but since Trump believes it was stolen, “we should take him at his word on that.”
With fake electors in Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada, being charged with felonies for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election, with the Department of Justice indicting Trump on four criminal counts, for “conspiring to defraud the United States, “conspiring to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding,” but since Trump believes otherwise, “we should take him at his word on that.”
With the Wisconsin fake electors agreeing to a plea deal by admitting that they were fake electors and that Joe Biden was the lawful winner of the 2020 election, since Trump believes otherwise “we should take him at his word on that.”
In describing the indictment, Jack Smith says it was:
Fueled by lies. Lies by the defendant targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the U.S. government, the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election.
Trump’s lying and running narrative, one Speaker Johnson describes as “over and over the same refrain,” was per the DOJ “fueled by lies,” but since Trump believes otherwise, “we should take him at his word on that.”
With Trump being indicted on racketeering, conspiracy and other charges by a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, for trying to overturn the 2020 election in that State, since Trump believes otherwise, “we should take him at his word on that.”
In other words, Trump’s word may just be greater and more important than the votes of the American people, greater than their certification by the States, greater than the authority of the U.S. Courts and the U.S. Congress.
Speaker Johnson with his pleasant voice and charming smile seems to be anointing Trump with the divine right of Kings and sprinkling it with Godly authority.
He might be a nice man but if true this is an act of desperation and an intrinsic evil that is preprogrammed to crash and burn.
It will be given no quarter, since exceptions to justice and the constitutional order is not what the framers had in mind.
One cannot violates the first and most important commandment in such a powerful and public campaign without divine judgement.
And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” And Jesus answered him, “It is written,
You shall worship the Lord your God,
and Him only shall you serve.’
