This author and blogger, unfortunately, was offline for three days due to computer issues, but glad to be back!
It has been a tortorous few days watching the potential Speakership of Jim Jordan, who would have been a national security risk, as an Insurrectionist on January 6, 2021, and still refusing to accept that Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump!
Thank goodness it looks as if finally he is done as a candidate for Speaker of the House, which is only two heartbeats away from the Presidency, due to the Presidential Succession Act of 1947!
But the Republican Party is still a total mess, leaving the House of Representatives unable to meet its responsibilities!
Most of this new batch of Republicans who are going to try running for Speaker this week are election deniers.
Nine Republicans are running for Speaker. They are: Tom Emmer, Kevin Hern, Jack Bergman, Austin Scott, Byron Donalds, Mike Johnson, Pete Sessions, Dan Meuser, and Gary Palmer.
Got another government shutdown coming up in November.
Might as well say the government is already shut down. Can’t do anything without a Speaker.
7 of those 9 voted to overturn the election.
