In pursuit of that goal Johnson appeared on <em>&#8220;This Week on Capitol Hill,&#8221;<\/em> a program on the ultra conservative Salem News Channel that is hosted by Tony Perkins, the president of the religious right-wing Family Research Council. During that interview Johnson revealed his secret weapon for winning the midterms&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Johnson:<\/strong> The American people can trust House Republicans, the Republican Party, to run this government. We keep delivering and we\u2019re gonna run all the way through the tape through the end of year. And I believe for this reason that we\u2019re gonna win the midterms. I\u2019m very bullish about the outcome. We talk about it all the time, and with each passing day, I\u2019m more confident.<br \/>\n<strong>Perkins:<\/strong> You repeatedly say that you exceed the expectations of the pundits. They still don\u2019t understand the power of prayer.<br \/>\n<strong>Johnson:<\/strong> That\u2019s right! And look, I\u2019ve been openly saying this. And I told a big gaggle of Hill press reporters yesterday, I said listen, THIS IS A GOD THING! It really is. And we have intercessory prayers who are on the ground at the Capitol praying each of these things through.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:3s6y66t4asr2jsijpj3fslnv\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mrnb7nfe222p\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreigjt55bjcrm3ytlfsl3lr5p6bxmaklpl5vnbrunjwx5jtkynae5ey\">\n<p lang=\"en\">House Speaker Mike Johnson says he grows more confident &#34;with each passing day&#34; that the GOP will retain control of Congress.

Even with majorities in the House and Senate, they passed almost nothing of significance. Which left wannabe dictator Trump to rule by executive orders, many of which were struck down in court.<\/p>\n<p>More troubling is Johnson&#8217;s reliance on The Almighty for his election protection. What is making him confident of victory are his <em>&#8220;intercessory prayers&#8221;<\/em> lobbying God directly for votes. Johnson has stumbled onto a fantastic strategy for electoral success: Pray to win. Let&#8217;s pray he relies on it.<\/p>\n<p>Although, if prayer works the way that Johnson claims, why hasn&#8217;t it stopped the war in Iran, or ended homelessness, or mass shootings? Does Johnson really believe that God is taking sides in American politics, but ignoring actual human suffering? And is Johnson aware that prayer is bipartisan? Millions of Americans are praying every day for Trump to be removed from office.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, if Democrats win the midterms, does that mean that God prefers Democrats? Which would make sense since Republicans are a profoundly anti-Christian political party that violates the principles that Jesus preached: feeding the hungry, healing the sick, giving shelter to the homeless, welcoming refugees, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats will be encouraged by statements like this from Johnson. While they are out on the campaign trail, talking with and listening to voters, Republicans will be in the House chapel praying (whining?) for God to find them a few more votes and deliver them from the evil of a Democratic agenda that actually helps people, rather than just catering to corporations and the wealthy. Something tells me that Johnson&#8217;s confidence may be misplaced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70332\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Johnson Warns the Media of Threats By Communists, But Ignores the Real Threats By Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70069\" target=\"_blank\">MAGA Mike Johnson Pitifully Tries to Cover For Trump Saying \u2018I Don\u2019t Care About the Midterms\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68519\" target=\"_blank\">MAGA Mike Johnson Just Gave the Best Reason For All Americans to Vote for Democrats Next Year<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second term of Donald Trump is proving to be an even bigger failure than the first.
