“Members not voting will have the opportunity to do so after the roll call has concluded, and Johnson (through the clerk) can keep that vote open. The Republicans not voting are certain to do so, even if not for Johnson; if not voting, the threshold would be lowered from 218, and if all Democrats vote for Jeffries, he would be the Speaker. The Republicans not yet voting may not like Johnson, but it is unthinkable they will allow Jeffries to become Speaker.”
I am not sure of that. Massie seems intent on political suicide.
Johnson is the speaker with 218 votes. A sign of future sanity by the Republicans? As the saying goes about a second marriage, the triumph of Hope over experience.
Bob Wilson, thanks for the Breitbart link.

Thanks for the link. The actual instances of DIE in both NOPD and FBI are not shocking new news, but it’s worth-while to document them.
Comments added a lot of context, which shows an unmistakable connection between DIE in the work-force, and H-1B visa abuses.
In both cases, partisan hiring drives out employees with merit & qualifications, in favor of selected demographics who may not have any competency in the job.
I don’t think that is a “coincidence” so much as being two exemplars of an underlying “law” of human behavior: tribalism fails big-time.
It does not benefit society as a whole, does not create healthy or prosperous communities, and eventually even the welfare of the tribe is diminished.
Spook Training in Question with New Orleans and Las Vegas Terrorists
The Las Vegas terrorist, the New Orleans terrorist and the would-be Trump assassin all lead back to Fort Bragg – spook central – and two days into the investigation the FBI is reporting that there is no known connection between the two terrorists.
AP: Judge sets Trump’s sentencing in hush money case for Jan. 10, but signals no jail time
In an extraordinary turn, a judge Friday set President-elect Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money case for Jan. 10 — little over a week before he’s due to return to the White House — but indicated he wouldn’t be jailed.
The development nevertheless leaves Trump on course to be the first president to take office convicted of felony crimes.
Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump’s trial, signaled in a written decision that he’d sentence the former and future president to what’s known as an unconditional discharge, in which a case is closed without jail time, a fine or probation. Trump can appear virtually for sentencing, if he chooses.
Merchan wrote that he sought to balance competing interests: Trump’s ability to govern “unencumbered” by the case, the U.S. Supreme Court’s July ruling on presidential immunity, the public’s expectation “that all are equal and no one is above the Iaw,” and the importance of respecting a jury verdict.
Take a look at the fascinating phenomenon of the Ancient “handbag,” a handbag like item placed near or, quite often, being held in the hands of deities of many different cultures of the ancient world–all widely separated in time and space– starting with this item appearing in the carvings of Gobekli Tepi, back some 11,300 or so years ago.*
What do mainstream archeologists say about this? It’s just a coinkydink.
A very facile conclusion with which I totally disagree.
This “handbag” meant something, and given it’s placement, something important, which was a part of each one of these ancient civilization’s mythic narrative. Something which, it would seem, was transmitted to and was a part of each one of them.
P.S.–As more and more new archeological findings come to light, I give less and less credence to, and have less and less faith in the intellectual fortress which is the orthodox archeological recreation and timeline of the development of the human race and our various civilizations.
From what I see, come up with good evidence which contradicts that orthodoxy, and be prepared to be hammered flat, your career in archeology destroyed by the guardians who have based, made their careers on preaching that orthodoxy.
I’d hope that the Supreme Court would void this entire prosecution and verdict and, hopefully, Judge Merchant removed from office and disbarred as well.
It’s come to my attention that the Canadians changed the wording of their national anthem when I wasn’t looking. “In all thy sons command” became “In all of us command.” I am miffed at this because I was in a chorale that was asked to sing the anthem once at a hockey game many years ago. I learned it the old way and I don’t want to learn another version. Waah, cranky!
We Michiganders should have at least been consulted. 🙂
Canada must be annexed.

As a History Major in College, this was very interesting. He kept going to get to the source materials. Impressive.
