What I’ve learned about Mike Johnson, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America, in the last 48 hours has thrilled me. And I want you to also be glad and hopeful for what Mike Johnson’s Christian leadership means for America.
Mike Johnson is likely to be the best speaker in your and my lifetime.
He’s not Kevin McCarthy’s “boy.” No, Johnson was the “stealth candidate” who almost wasn’t elected. Remember, the top three RINOs of “Team McCarthy” — Kevin McCarthy himself, McCarthy’s majority leader Steve Scalise, and McCarthy’s majority whip Tom Emmer — all crashed and burned due to conservative opposition.
After conservatives rejected Scalise, liberal Republicans, with McCarthy leading, killed the speaker candidacy of conservative constitutional champion Jim Jordan. Then, after Tom Emmer, the most liberal of the Republican nominees, was berated by conservatives upset with Emmer’s anti-family and unconstitutional votes and agendas (this went on for four straight hours, and eventually Emmer ended his candidacy), Republicans were left with the second-place voter-getter in that last round, which was Mike Johnson.
And that same evening, despite McCarthy still trying to sabotage Johnson’s ascendance to the speakership, in a spectacular moment, all the Republicans plotting to return McCarthy as speaker folded. By persevering, the conservatives had beaten the RINOs!
So, Mike Johnson is not part of the Swamp and is not a RINO. In this high-stakes “negotiation” between warring sides, Johnson only got elected because the RINOs eventually gave up due to strong opposition from moral conservatives and because McCarthy’s bad character was exposed.
Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is refreshingly different from the RINO speakers you’ve had to live under the last two decades!
On Johnson’s own website, he describes how he “spent nearly 20 years successfully litigating high profile constitutional law cases in district and appellate courts nationwide and is widely recognized as a leading defender of the right to life, religious liberty, free speech, the Second Amendment and free market principles.”
So there you have it:Mike Johnson is a family-values champion for our First Amendment rights. Add to this the fact that Johnson is a strong Christian believer who fears God, and you’ve got the most trustworthy kind of man in the world.
What’s more, he’s very concerned about election fraud. In 2020 in the House of Representatives, Johnson organized an amicus brief signed by 126 House Republicans, challenging the election results in four swing states purportedly won by Joe Biden.
Do you see how the Tyrannical, Immoral Left is viciously attacking him? Because of his conservative Christian values, Mike Johnson is good for you and is anathema to them.
PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION
Mike Johnson needs spiritual protection from the enemy’s attacks. Please pray in Name of Jesus Christ asking God to send angels to protect Mike Johnson, his staff, and his family.
And urge Johnson to investigate election fraud, something McCarthy was loathe to do. A Republican subcommittee to investigate election fraud must be a top priority. Exposing election fraud as real will motivate more Republican state legislatures to write and pass bills to reform the election process, including eliminating widescale mail-in ballots.
Please call Mike Johnson’s Washington, DC office at 202-225-2777 to leave this message: “I’m calling to say I’m glad Mike Johnson is speaker, I’m praying for him, and I urge him to create an election fraud subcommittee to publicly expose this huge problem.”

You already know about evil Democrat Party legislators. But do you realize Republicans in the California State Legislature lied to you when they said they would fight for you? You deserve to know who they are (see these bad bill analyses and legislators’ votes at our Pro-Family Legislation Center).
Here during the Legislature’s month-long, paid vacation (ending August 14), SaveCalifornia.com has tabulated which registered Republicans in Sacramento are voting for evil Democrat bills. Here’s a partial report:
–> 9 “Republicans” in the California State Assembly have voted for Democrat bills promoting abortion (baby-killing) or the “LGBTQIA+” agenda or both:
Greg Wallis of Bermuda Dunes: AB 659, AB 5, AB 223, AB 352, AB 443, AB 492, AB 576, AB 598, AB 957, AB 1078, AB 1194, AB 1432, HR 33, ACA 5
Juan Alanis of Modesto: AB 5, AB 352, AB 443, AB 492, AB 598, AB 1194, AB 1432, HR 33, ACA 5
Marie Waldron of Escondido: AB 5, HR 33, ACA 5, SB 58, SB 541, SB 729
Diane Dixon of Newport Beach: AB 223, ACA 5
Bill Essayli of Riverside: AB 223, ACA 5
Josh Hoover of Folsom: AB 5, ACA 5
Devon Mathis of Porterville: AB 1194, ACA 5
Phillip Chen of Yorba Linda: ACA 5
Laurie Davies of Laguna Niguel: ACA 5
In addition to Democrat bills promoting baby-killing and the “LGBTQIA+” agenda:
Voting in favor of the Democrats’ radical “recreational drug” bill, SB 58, was Heath Flora of Ripon
Voting in favor of SB 596 giving chairpersons of liberal school boards the power to subjectively claim pro-family citizens speaking at public meetings have caused “substantial disorder,” so that you’ll be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor crime, were Juan Alanis and Josh Hoover
Voting in favor of AB 1352 to permit liberal school board majorities to remove a pro-family school board member from office were Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Megan Dahle, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Bill Essayli, Heath Flora, Vince Fong, James Gallagher,Josh Hoover, Tom Lackey, Jim Patterson, Joe Patterson, Kate Sanchez, Tri Ta, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis
–> 2 “Republicans” in the California State Senate have voted for Democrat bills promoting baby-killing or “LGBTQIA+” or both:
Scott Wilk of Santa Clarita: AB 352, AB 1194, AB 1352, ACA 5
Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh of Yucaipa: SR 33, SB 760, AB 1352
In addition to Democrat bills promoting baby-killing and the “LGBTQIA+” agenda:
Voting in favor of SB 274, largely eliminating government-school suspensions or expulsions of disruptive, defiant “students,” were Scott Wilk, Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, Janet Nguyen of Huntington Beach, and Brian Dahle of Bieber
Conclusion: Of the 8 Republicans in the 40-member California State Senate and the 18 Republicans in the 80-member California State Assembly, unlike constitutional and often Christian Republican fighters of past decades, none today can be counted on to use their most valuable asset — their voice — to consistently stand and speak to expose the harm of immoral. ungodly Democrat-authored bills. It’s a shame, because when you’re in the minority party in the Legislature, your voice matters much more than your votes.
Obviously, with so many Republican legislators supporting anti-family or otherwise harmful bills, and with none of the current crop of California Republican state legislators caring enough to regularly stand and expose immoral Democrat bills, there’s a crying need for concerned citizens and biblical pastors to recruit constitutional fighters, who know their main job in Sacramento isn’t money, popularity, or comfort, but steadfastly, lovingly, and truthfully speaking in committee and on the floor to expose the harm of Democrat Party bills. Stop accepting deceptive crumbs from mute Republicans or from Republicans who vote for harmful Democrat bills!

U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) with his good friend, pollster Frank Luntz
SaveCalifornia.com provides this solely for educational purposes and does not support or oppose candidates for public office.
Update Jan. 6, 11:17 p.m. PT: Trickery has made RINO Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield Speaker of the House. In tonight’s 15th ballot for speaker, because 4 RINO Republicans purposely didn’t vote and the 6 moral-values constitutional stalwarts voted “present,” this lowered the threshold of votes needed. Conservatives, you now have 3 RINO Republican speakers in a row — John Boehner, Paul Ryan, now Kevin McCarthy, all birds of a feather who value power over principle. Still, the very public 3 days of resistance by 21 Republican U.S. Representatives very concerned about corruption at the top was so needed. And while not replacing a RINO (Republican In Name Only) with a constitutional fighter, there were several important concessions won in negotiation with McCarthy to make the House rules the fairest in decades. Constitutional Americans must hold McCarthy accountable to his promises. I grieve the agreed-upon framework does not include a House investigation into election fraud of the 2020 and 2022 elections. For how can we have a democratic republic without the confidence of one person, one vote? In all of this, conservative constitutional voters are excited about Matt Gaetz, whom I believe could be Florida’s next governor, and a great one at that.
Update Jan. 5, 8:31 p.m. PT:So far, there have been 11 defeats for California RINO Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield. Eleven slow, roll-call votes over the last 3 days, and each time McCarthy failed to reach 218, which is the minimal majority of elected House members. I’m still predicting McCarthy will NOT be elected Speaker of the House. As someone who tries to be “stubborn” for what’s right in God’s sight, I recognize there are at least 5 “Never-Kevins” in the U.S. House of Representatives, which is enough to block him from reaching 218. They are Matt Gaetz of Florida, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Bob Good of Virginia, and Matt Rosendale of Montana. And likely even more “Never-Kevins.” As Matt Gaetz said this evening on the Laura Ingraham Show, “I will not be voting for Kevin McCarthy. I resent the extent to which he utilizes the lobbyists and special interests to dictate how political decisions, policy decisions, and leadership decisions are made. We have zero trust in him.” Starting 9am California time on Friday, Jan. 6, you can watch Day 4 of the speakership battle on https://www.c-span.org or https://live.house.gov.
Update Jan. 4, 9:16 p.m. PT:With the evening floor session quickly adjourning without a vote, we know there will be a Republican speaker of the house, but it won’t be Kevin McCarthy. At least 5 Republicans who are currently voting for moral-values constitutional Republican Byron Donalds of Florida have publicly said they’ll never vote for McCarthy, who will never get to the 218 votes needed, and someone more conservative and honest will be chosen, probably within a couple days. Why this fight? For decades now in our country, the establishment, power-over-principle, cave-to-immorality “Republicans” have waged a not-so-quiet war with constitutional Republicans. We get RINOs when average Republicans vote for “the lesser of two evils,” which means worse and worse elected representatives, shutting out less-moneyed constitutional conservatives. It’s remarkable on the House floor 21 Republican members are standing firm to say “No more.” These moral-values constitutional champions against corruption deserve our applause. Have a Republican U.S. Representative? Call 202-225-3121 (the Capitol switchboard) and tell him or her how you want them to vote.
Update Jan. 3, 3:48 pm PT: There’s a constitutional revolution on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives! Today, on the third ballot to elect a new Speaker of the House, constitutional Republicans who want a fighter for moral, social, and fiscal values increased from 19 to 20 votes against RINO Kevin McCarthy of California and in favor of pro-family conservative standard-bearer Jim Jordan of Ohio. If they hold out for days or weeks, they can prevail; because 218 votes are required to be elected speaker, and McCarthy is only getting 202 votes. See the latest here. The House will reconvene Wednesday 12 noon ET. You can watch the floor action live here.
On Tuesday, January 3, the new Congress will be installed, and the new, Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will vote to replace Nancy Pelosi as speaker.
Yet with Republicans holding a slim majority in the new House, the question is not whether a Republican will replace Pelosi, but what kind of Republican?
If you’ve been tracking with SaveCalifornia.com the past year, you know the intense war between Good and Evil will not be won by merely “voting right.”
In 2022, silent Republicans in the California Assembly helped bad bills pass. Likewise, on December 8, 2022, the tyrannical, sexual anarchy bill, H.R. 8404, passed the U.S. House, with Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries (the new Democrat leader), and Steny Hoyer (the #2 Democrat under Pelosi) all standing and speaking for it.
But unlike his Democrat counterparts, the Republican minority leader, Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, didn’t stand and speak on the floor, and it’s apparent he didn’t in a Republican caucus either.
Because less than half a dozen Republicans spoke against this monstrous bill on the floor, and 39 “Republicans” voted for it, including McCarthy’s lieutenants Elise Stephanik (third-ranking House Republican) and Tom Emmer (incoming GOP Whip).
So, you have to ask — what good is it to read the U.S. Constitution on the floor — as Kevin McCarthy plans to do — if you won’t speak up and fight for religious freedom in the First Amendment, which H.R. 8404 crushes?
Here’s more about McCarthy’s actions hurting constitutional values:
June 15, 2016: Caught on tape: When learning the Russians had hacked the Democrat National Committee, McCarthy said, “I’ll guarantee you that’s what it is…The Russians hacked the DNC and got the opp research that they had on Trump.” “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump. Swear to God.”
January 2021: McCarthy was again recorded, saying what he planned to tell outgoing President Donald Trump: “It would be my recommendation you should resign” and in assessing President Trump’s peaceful, First-Amendment comments at the Jan. 6, 2021 Stop the Steal rally: “atrocious and totally wrong”…”incited people”
May 3, 2021: Tucker Carlson reports that Kevin McCarthy is “rooming” with Frank Luntz, who’s been working hard to “moderate” the Republican Party
February 17, 2022: Lou Dobbs: “I’ll be kind, if not RINO, a middle-of-the-roader. I personally believe him to be outright a RINO. The party needs strength, it needs vision, it needs energy, vibrancy, and new blood in leadership — it’s that simple.”
“Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.” The Bible, the advice of Moses’s father-in-law Jethro, in Exodus 18:21
