Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., came out in opposition to the Senate deal on DHS on Friday, saying he wouldn’t put the bill on the floor. Many House Republicans privately think he’s making a mistake.

After a week of false starts toward ending the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., delivered the biggest setback yet on Friday, telling his conference that he wouldn’t bring the Senate deal, passed just hours earlier with unanimous support, to the House floor.

Behind closed doors, many House Republicans are already questioning the speaker’s decision.

On a GOP members-only conference call on Friday, Johnson came out in opposition to the Senate bill.

“We are not gonna eat the crap sandwich the Senate sent us,” Johnson told House Republicans, according to a source on the line.

    There is not a single person in this system with meritocratic validity, aka not born into wealth. The societal level nepotism of inherited wealth is the cause of all present problems. It is the common thread through every problem name you know. Intelligence is not hereditary in humans, but wealth is. This is the case in every western country except Japan.
