CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 2, 2025
TOMORROW WE MIGHT GET THE FIRST SIGNAL AS TO WHETHER THE SLIM REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE WILL BE READY TO GOVERN AND ENACT PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP’S AGENA, OR WILL SOME ENGAGE IN MEANINGLESS INFIGHTING AND TRY TO DEPOSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON.
IN POLITICAL WASHINGTON IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO FIND JOHNSON’S EQUAL WHEN IT COMES TO HIS INTEGRITY AND FAITH. IN ADDITION TO BEING A PRACTICING CHRISTIAN AND A POLITICAL CONSERVATIVE, JOHNSON IS A PRAGMATIST. HE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS POSSIBLE AND WHAT IS DOABLE WITH SO SMALL A MAJORITY AND WITH DEMOCRATS UNITED. IF HE HAD A FIFTY-SEAT MAJORITY AND A BIGGER MAJORITY IN THE SENATE MORE COULD GET DONE.
IF JOHNSON CAN KEEP REPUBLICANS FOCUSED ON WHAT PROMOTES THE GENERAL WELFARE AND NOT JUST THEIR CAREERS, WE MIGHT SEE SOME SUCCESSES WHERE OTHER REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES HAVE FAILED.
MUCH WILL ALSO DEPEND ON THE LEADERSHIP STYLE OF DONALD TRUMP, WHO HAS PROMISED DEPORTATION OF ILLEGALS AND SECURING THE BORDER AS HIS TOP PRIORITY.
LOTS TO FOCUS ON AND PRAY ABOUT STARTING FRIDAY…AND BEYOND. I’M CAL THOMAS.
