New House Speaker: Bible is My Worldview, No Apologies
Newly-Minted House Speaker Mike Johnson: Let the Bible Guide Your Worldview
In a recent interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, newly-elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) shared that his entire worldview can be found within the pages of the Bible. Johnson, who received unanimous Republican support after a tumultuous three weeks, spoke about his plans for the House of Representatives and the importance of returning to business.
Embracing the Bible as a Guide
When asked about his stance on various issues, Johnson responded, “Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.” He made it clear that his beliefs are rooted in his faith and he makes no apologies for it. Hannity pressed further, clarifying that this is Johnson’s personal worldview, to which Johnson confirmed.
Johnson’s First Speech as House Speaker
Johnson carried his Bible with him as he delivered his first speech as House Speaker. In his address, he emphasized that he believes every member of Congress is called by God to use their gifts to serve the American people to the best of their ability.
Prayer and Divine Guidance
Johnson was part of a group of House members who prayed for guidance during the Speaker’s race back in January. Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) shared a photo of the moment, revealing that after the prayer, 14 members changed their votes, ultimately leading to Speaker McCarthy securing the gavel.
Strong Conservative and Devout Christian
Described as a strong conservative and an unapologetic Christian, Johnson’s faith plays a significant role in his decision-making. His commitment to seeking guidance from his faith is seen as a valuable asset in the U.S. House.

What are some of the key technologies and tools used in Precision Agriculture, and how do they improve crop productivity and efficiency?
1. Remote Sensing
Remote sensing technologies, such as satellites or drones, provide detailed and timely information about the crop’s health, soil moisture, temperature, and other environmental factors. This data helps farmers to make informed decisions regarding irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, optimizing the use of resources and improving crop productivity.
2. Geographic Information System (GIS)
GIS technology combines spatial data with other relevant information, such as weather and soil data, to create accurate and interactive maps. By using GIS, farmers can identify specific areas with varying needs, enabling precision application of inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. This targeted approach helps minimize waste and ensures efficient resource utilization.
3. Automated Machinery
Precision agriculture utilizes automated machinery, such as GPS-guided tractors or robots, to perform tasks with precision and minimize human error. These machines can precisely plant seeds, apply fertilizers and pesticides, and harvest crops. By reducing manual labor and improving accuracy, automated machinery increases efficiency and productivity in farming operations.
4. IoT and Sensor Technologies
The Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor technologies play a crucial role in precision agriculture. Sensors placed in the field collect real-time data on soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and crop growth, among other factors. This data is then transmitted to a central system that can analyze and provide actionable insights. Farmers can monitor and control conditions remotely, ensuring optimal growing conditions and crop health.
5. Variable Rate Technology (VRT)
VRT enables farmers to apply inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation water at varying rates based on the specific needs of different areas within a field. By using sensor data and GPS technology, VRT systems adjust the application rate in real-time, optimizing resource usage and reducing waste. This precise application improves crop productivity, reduces environmental impact, and saves costs.
6. Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence
Analyzing large volumes of data generated by various precision agriculture technologies can be complex. Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) platforms can process and analyze this data to provide valuable insights and predictive models. Farmers can identify patterns, forecast crop performance, and make data-driven decisions to improve productivity, minimize risks, and enhance overall efficiency in their operations.
Overall, these technologies and tools in precision agriculture enable farmers to make informed decisions, optimize resource usage, and tailor interventions to specific crop needs. By improving efficiency and productivity, precision agriculture helps to meet the growing global food demand while minimizing the environmental impact.
