House Speaker Mike Johnson is making plans to move rapidly on legislation on a multitude of issues if the GOP wins the White House and Senate and retains a majority in the House in November’s election.

Johnson asserted that in 2017, the GOP didn’t fully take advantage of the budget reconciliation process, by which they could have passed bills on multiple issues because they were focused on tax cuts.

“We did one round of health care reform, one round of tax reform, right, but there are multiple issue areas that we think can and should survive the Byrd Rule analysis and being allowed here. So we’re just looking at it from a very different, much more comprehensive approach. And I think there’s a lot of interest among House Republicans — and the outside groups of course — about what that can look like and what the potential is,” Johnson said, according to Punchbowl News.

The Byrd rule can be cited by a senator to challenge provisions of a reconciliation bill.

Johnson is already planning on moving rapidly, saying the GOP “wasted at least a couple of months” during the first quarter of former President Donald Trump’s term; he surmised the GOP was not prepared because they thought Hillary Clinton would win the election.

“The cautionary analysis on that is that we’re going to have such an aggressive first 100 days agenda if we get unified government, which we anticipate will have, that it might encumber that agenda somewhat if you then have to deal with the appropriations process,” he said. “So we’re very carefully analyzing the number of calendar days that we’ll have to work, floor time, all the rest — everything that will be required to achieve all these big goals that we have. So that’s the analysis and there are a number of ideas on the table right now.”

The process of budget reconciliation works like this, as the Heritage Foundation explains:

First, the Senate and House individually adopt a budget resolution that contains instructions to specific committees to develop legislation to achieve desired budgetary results, such as cutting spending and decreasing tax revenue. 

Second, the committees prepare and report out legislation to fulfill the instructions by specified deadlines. In some cases where more than one committee in each chamber is involved, each chamber’s budget committee assembles the responses into one bill and reports it out to the full House or Senate.

Third, the House and Senate each take up their own reconciliation bill and advance it under the expedited procedures.

Fourth, through a conference committee or other means, the House and Senate resolve their differences.

Fifth, the House and Senate each vote on the final bill, which the president then signs or vetoes.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, wrote a letter on Wednesday announcing its support for the left-wing protests that have disrupted college campuses across the U.S. and for the professors responsible for indoctrinating their students with anti-Semitism.

The protests that erupted in April led to encampments popping up at various top universities across the U.S. as Jewish students and law enforcement were attacked and the protesters called for the destruction of the state of Israel and, in some cases, went further by calling for an “Intifada,” which is a terrorist attack against Jews or the state of Israel. Professional agitators helped whip up the chaos at many of the schools, according to various law enforcement officials.

“Dear university students in the United States of America, this message is an expression of our empathy and solidarity with you. As the page of history is turning, you are standing on the right side of it,” wrote Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a letter that was posted to state-run media.

“You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable struggle in the face of your government’s ruthless pressure — a government which openly supports the usurper and brutal Zionist regime,” the letter continued. “The greater Resistance Front which shares the same understandings and feelings that you have today, has been engaged in the same struggle for many years in a place far from you.”

The propaganda letter made numerous false claims about the history of the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel, and it portrayed the Palestinian people as the victims of terrorism when, in reality, they join terrorist groups and launch attacks against Israel.

“The support and solidarity of your professors is a significant and consequential development,” he later added. “This can offer some measure of comfort in the face of your government’s police brutality and the pressures it is exerting on you. I too am among those who empathize with you young people, and value your perseverance.”
