Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson is not one to mince words, folks. He’s just penned a fiery letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young, but let’s be real, it’s really aimed at none other than President Joe Biden. In this sizzling message, Johnson makes it abundantly clear that Republicans have had it up to here with the Democrats’ obsession with Ukraine funding.
Speaker Johnson Lays Down a Line on Ukraine and Border Security Funding

Now, let’s roll back the clock a bit to October 26, 2023. Johnson, being the gentleman that he is, sat down with Young, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and other key leaders in the Situation Room. And what did he ask for? Oh, just a couple of simple things: border security and answers about the funds the administration wants for Ukraine. Is that too much to ask, Mr. President?
Johnson reminds us all that the House of Representatives already did its part by passing the Secure Border Act of 2023 more than six months ago. But what about the Senate? Well, surprise, surprise! Those Democrats over there have been too busy twiddling their thumbs to take any action on the bill. The open border crisis is a catastrophe of epic proportions, and it’s high time this madness is put to an end.
Instead of facing reality and working with the Republicans to fix our broken immigration system, the Biden Administration has decided to play politics. Shocking, right? They’ve chosen to bury their heads in the sand and engage in pointless posturing. But the GOP isn’t backing down. Speaker Johnson and his team are ready and willing to collaborate with the administration on a robust border security package that puts the American people first. It’s about time the Biden folks come to the table and start taking this issue seriously.
On the Senate side, the Republicans stand together in recognizing the urgent need to fix the asylum process. We can’t just let the flood of illegal immigration continue to spiral out of control. It’s time to take action and stop this madness once and for all.
So, it’s crystal clear, my friends. Speaker Johnson is drawing a line in the sand when it comes to Ukraine funding. The ball is now in Biden’s court. Will he choose to face the harsh realities of our border crisis or continue to play political games? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, the conservative Republicans are not backing down. They’re ready to fight tooth and nail for the safety and protection of our great nation. God bless America!
