  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Democrats, tired of the circus the House has become thanks to the Freedom Caucus, are promising that Speaker Mike Johnson will not be removed from his position.

The men and women who call themselves “Republicans” are liars. They have no interest in the principles or morals of the once Grand Old Party. They owe their very existence to a small percentage of greedy and ridiculously wealthy men and women. In January of 2015 a small group of House TEA Party members, believing that their extremist organization was not as extreme as it should be, formed an organization based on the precepts of fascism and called it the “Freedom Caucus.” One of its founders was one of the congr
