GOP Speaker nominee Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Friday said he would try again to break the two-week-long Speaker stalemate that has plunged the chamber into chaos. “Our plan this weekend is to get a Speaker elected to the House of Representatives as soon as possible so we can help the American people,” Jordan said when asked what his plan is for the weekend. The Ohio Republican scrapped plans to hold a third vote on his bid Thursday after opponents came out of a meeting saying they would maintain their resistance to him and at least two lawmakers who voted for him previously said they would switch their votes.

The world could be on the cusp of WW3 and the Republicans are acting like middle school children. Are the Republicans so removed from reality they do not realize the damage they are doing?

I can’t believe the nerve of the holdouts. They accuse Jordon of putting himself before country. Hey Morons everyone but you are voting for him. It is you who need to do the right thing. For Gods sake consider the danger you are putting the country in. You are an embarrassment. We already have Biden in charge of making us look stupid and weak and not to be trusted. We don’t need your help.

if one of these RINO's represent your district, call them and respectfully ask them to articulate why they are not backing Jordan. Make sure you're respectful and make sure tyhey give you an answer.

All of this further shows how deeply the entrenched "deep state" is. It's easy to talk about how corrupt the Democrats are . . . the Republicans are as corrupt as they are. Really, really a sad, sad time for our country.

Already did, #5. Don Bacon from NE doesn’t represent my district; Adrian Smith, an ardent conservative and all-round good guy, does. So, I borrowed my son’s address and sent Rep. Bacon some strongly worded “advice.” Like Ben Sasse and Chuck Hagel before him, he has no idea how unpopular he is in the state. I honestly think he may be finished.

McCarthy lost his speakership because he broke his promises. We can blame Matt Gaetz all we want to, but the bottom line is we’re finally seeing some accountability in the House of Representatives. I like that. This article is from The Hill. We’re not gonna get any useful information out of it. They just want to push the narrative that the world is going to come to an end, because Republicans are in agreement yet.

A few more GOP Reps turned on Jordan this round. It's not a good trend. They will probably need to nominate somebody else. Was Scalise so bad or are the grudges so bad that they can't all get behind him now? He seems like a solid enough choice to me, and it seemed like most of the No votes were "but I want Jim Jordan instead" votes, and so if Jordan gives up, maybe Scalise can get to Yes.

I have a feckless democrat putz as my Congress weasel so I have no dog in this fight. I do however have relatives who are MAGA who still live in the district I used to live in that used to be represented by the awesome Thelma Drake in VA. Now that neocon Jen Kiggans the rep and is against Jordan as Speaker. She's gotten letters and phone calls from my relatives to get her act together. She beat Pelosi puppet Elaine Luria in 2022 and last time I checked is still voting for RINO McCarthy.

Sick to death of this clown show. If the GOP can’t get it together, we’re going to end up with Hakeem Jefferies as Speaker, or worse. If you want to throw a bomb into the middle of your Congressional delegation, Rep. Gaetz, at least have a plan for cleaning up the mess it makes. It’s not just Biden that looks weak. I say, toss them all out and start over with citizen representatives as the Founders intended, 99% of career politicians are charlatans.

Israel vowed Friday to launch a full-scale military attack against Iran if its terror group Hezbollah joins the ongoing war, according to a report. Nir Barkat, Israel’s Minister of Economy, warned that it would “eliminate Hezbollah,” their proxy terror group in Lebanon, if it follows through on threats to throw its military support behind Hamas. “The plan of Iran is to attack Israel on all fronts. If we find they intend to target Israel, we will not just retaliate to those fronts, but we will go to the head of the snake, which is Iran,” Barkat told the Daily Mail.

The bogus victimhood is bottomless. Because grievance is the coin of their realm, and because many of them are incapable of arguing any other way, it should be unsurprising to see figures like Rashida Tlaib and various other Hamas apologists and anti-Semites claim that somehow they are the ones who've been wronged over the last two weeks. In a development that truly defies parody, Harvard students who signed an egregious, terrorism-justifying statement are now whining about the "bullying" they've experienced over the moral disgrace to which they signed their names.

Iran understandably believes it is riding relatively high. It is flush with cash. It hints it almost has the bomb -- and might use it soon. The Iranians are bragging about their new tyrannical allies like Russia and China. Iran boasts of now being the self-proclaimed leader of jihad on behalf of all Muslims. It gloats that it is feeding the Russian war machine by exporting its own drones. Tehran proudly supplied and funded Hamas's savage murder of Jewish children in Israel. It eggs on its other pawn, Hezbollah, to launch a reputed 100,000 Iranian-supplied missiles into Israel.

Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg acknowledged that a 1994 document listed the Trump Tower triplex at its true size of 10,996 square feet — rather than the bloated 30,000 square feet that Trump, 77, allegedly falsely claimed for years on financial statements.

Following the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, the Gaza Strip now faces the full wrath of the Israeli military. But despite starting the conflict by raping, torturing, and murdering people in the streets (and filming it) as part of a planned invasion of Israel, Palestinian leaders are falling back on an old mainstay: Begging the United Nations for help. This is what the Palestinians do, and to be fair, they do it because it works. Hamas, the elected leadership in the Gaza Strip, carried out the most barbaric attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

But Democratic strategists told the Daily Caller the president has handled the Israel-Hamas war well, giving numerous public appearances and even presenting himself as a strong commander-in-chief.

Before epilepsy was understood to be a neurological condition, people believed it was caused by the moon, or by phlegm in the brain. They condemned seizures as evidence of witchcraft or demonic possession, and killed or castrated sufferers to prevent them from passing tainted blood to a new generation. Today we know epilepsy is a disease. By and large, it’s accepted that a person who causes a fatal traffic accident while in the grip of a seizure should not be charged with murder. That’s good, says Stanford University neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky. That’s progress. But there’s still a long way to go.

According to recent polling by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, nearly half of President Joe Biden’s supporters believe the government should clamp down on objectionable speech. That’s right, among individuals intending to vote for Biden in 2024, 47% think “the government should regulate or restrict the expression of views considered discriminatory or offensive.” Considered “discriminatory or offensive” by whom, exactly? Sadly, the results weren’t a whole lot different for supporters of Donald Trump, 35% of whom purport to believe the government should exercise this control. Fools, all. Come to think of it, I find the poll and this report offensive, so I want government to regulate them.

As reported earlier House Republicans voted down their most popular and respected member, Jim Jordan for House Speaker today. The Republican lawmakers held a secret ballot away from their voters and overwhelmingly decided to oust Jordan from the Speaker’s race. The Republicans voted 112-86 in a secret ballot to oust the Ohio Republican from the race. The House of Representatives has been without a Speaker for more than 2 weeks after Matt Gaetz filed a motion to vacate the chair. Kevin McCarthy was ousted as House Speaker earlier this month in a 216-210 vote. 8 Republicans voted to oust McCarthy: Biggs, Buck, Burchett, Crane, Gaetz, Good, Mace, and Rosendale.

The House speakership has not been a happy thing for Republicans lately. While Nancy Pelosi was a raging leftist who successfully corralled her party and rammed through the leftist agenda (love her or hate her, she was effective), the same cannot be said for recent Republican speakers. John Boehner and Paul Ryan were RINOs. Kevin McCarthy was much more conservative, and for that he deserves credit, but he reneged on promises, especially about January 6. Since his ouster, though, it’s been one humiliation Now, however, with Byron Donalds having thrown his hat in the ring, there’s hope. Whether you think Matt Gaetz was bold to punish yet another.

Instead, Biden had a summit meeting with EU leaders where he had trouble with his notes and told a wild story about his Uncle Frank, then attended a campaign fundraiser before he headed off to the beach for yet another weekend vacation. But he wasn't quite done with the bad remarks for the day before he hit the beach. Reporters in attendance at the fundraiser reported on those remarks. Biden said that "the Saudis
