Republican majority narrowed even further to just 2. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-2-2024Representative Bill Johnson (R-OH) today submitted his resignation, effective January 21, to become the president of Youngstown State University. This shaves the Republican majority in the House of Representatives even thinner. With the recent expulsion of George Santos (R-NY) and resignation of Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the Republicans will control just 219 seats, permitting them a margin of only two seats to pass legislation when the House returns on January 9. |

How low the GOP is willing to go!!! The whole House leadership is on board, Speaker Johnson, Steve Scalise and now Elmer... Rep. Tom Emmer's (R-MN) dream of becoming speaker of the House of Representatives met an abrupt end this past fall when former President Donald Trump declared him a "RINO," all but torching his bid to win a majority of the Republican caucus. Despite this personal humiliation, however, Emmer endorsed Trump's bid for the presidency on Wednesday morning. *** Many of Emmer's followers on Twitter were quick to mock him for the endorsement given Trump's central role in sinking his speakership bid. "Sucking up to the man who sunk your chance to be speaker," wrote one follower. "What an embarrassment." www.rawstory.com/tom-emmer-trump-2666859663/ |

This is pretty funny especially , if I’m not mistaken, the book banning these idiots are doing started in the South.
”Nikki Haley to Harris Faulkner: "The south is actually very comfortable with our history. What I should have said immediately is that the Civil War was about slavery. But I just assumed that that was a given."

When one says responsibility and trump in the same sentence is actually pretty funny.
“Chris Christie to CNN on Nikki Haley's promise to pardon Trump: "As a governor, you can't make these decisions on pardons before you hear what the trial is, what the evidence is."
A pardon requires "acceptance of responsibility. He'll never accept responsibility. He never has, never will. So look, she's pandering."

Do they think he won’t do it again? Do they think if he becomes fascist dictator he won’t throw them under the bus again which at that point could mean prison. Since he’s clearly stated he would make legal moves against his ‘enemies’ and if there’s anything Trump has shown us it’s that his closest people are quickly attacked as enemies at the drop of a hat. It truly amazes me what they think they are on board for. |

Apparently the “Swifties” may not be a fan of Taylor Swift’s current boyfriend Travis Kelce. They just released the fan voting for the ProBowl. He did make the top 5 vote getters but not number 1. 1. Brock Purdy - 451,864 2. Christian McCaffrey - 429,993 3. Tua Tagovailoa - 414,502 4. George Kittle - 373,350 5. Travis Kelce - 327,263 One would have thought the Swifties would be all over the voting to make sure their gal’s boyfriend is # 1. Now they need to add the votes from the players and coaches to the fan numbers to determine who actually plays in the ProBowl. As a 49er fan I’m happy to see 49er players in the first, second and fourth position. http://instagram.com/p/C1pfWUEPbgN |

Especially in a lifetime appointment - once they are there they can continue to accept ‘gifts’ that will swing them which ever direction pays the most. I don’t understand why people do this. |

2nd District Court of Appeals has denied TFG appeal for a full court hearing in Carroll case immunity. A high court denied former President Donald Trump's demand to re-hear his civil immunity claim in the case of E. Jean Carroll, the former journalist he's been found liable of defaming, reported Politico's Kyle Cheney on Wednesday. Trump was seeking from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit a so-called en banc hearing, in which every judge on the circuit reconsiders the decision of a three-judge panel. The single-page ruling denying Trump's request did not elaborate or provide a detailed explanation. The former president has been claiming immunity in various cases. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-immunity-denied/ |

Gorsuch has his own issues, similar to former Harvard Pres Claudine Gay! A Wednesday report from Politico notes conservative activist Christopher Rufo "has been at the forefront of a sprawling campaign to force Gay to resign," and "was in a celebratory mood" after she announced her exit. Author and editor at The Yale Review, James Surowiecki, took to X to write, I assume Christopher Rufo will now move on and insist that Neal Gorsuch step down from the Supreme Court, given that he plagiarized parts of his 2006 book 'The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia'" — and he attached a screenshot from a 2017 Politico article, which includes a side-by-side of language from Gorsuch's book and language from a 1984 article in the Indiana Law Journal."Surowiecki went on to write, "The defenses of Gorsuch's lifting, btw, were remarkably similar to the defenses of Gay's work: it was just 'sloppy,' not 'mendacious' or malicious, and was not serious because while it copied language, it didn't involve the purloining of ideas."Per Politico's 2017 report, documents provided to the news outlet "show that several passages from the tenth chapter of his 2006 book, 'The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia,' read nearly verbatim to a 1984 article in the Indiana Law Journal. In several other instances in that book and an academic article published in 2000, Gorsuch borrowed from the ideas, quotes and structures of scholarly and legal works without citing them." www.rawstory.com/step-down-expert-urges-gop-activist-to-condemn-scotus-justices-plagiarism-history/ |

Too bad its being appealed, but this is the right outcome. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/01/03/kentucky-clerk-kim-davis-gay-marriage-license-fees/Almost eight years after a former county clerk refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Kentucky, she must now pay $260,000 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one of the couples, a federal judge has ruled.
The ruling that circulated in the court system Tuesday is separate from a jury’s earlier decision that Kim Davis must pay $100,000 in damages to the couple, David Ermold and David Moore.
The judge’s decision is the latest outcome in litigation that began in 2015 following the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that same-sex couples have the same right to wed as heterosexual couples. The case took years to settle as Davis appealed many of the earlier decisions. |

BREAKING:
Donald Trump's businesses received at least $7.8 million from 20 foreign governments during his presidency, according to new documents released by House Democrats — most of it came from China.
The Constitution prohibits a president from accepting money, payments or gifts "of any kind whatever" from foreign governments and monarchs unless he obtains "the consent of the Congress" to do so.
The report notes Trump never went to Congress to seek consent.
Rep. Jamie Raskin: "By elevating his personal financial interests and the policy priorities of corrupt foreign powers over the American public interest, former President Trump violated both the clear commands of the Constitution and the careful precedent set and observed by every previous commander in chief."

Dallas county, Iowa sheriff multiple gun shot victims. First responder arrived in 7 minutes. No number of injured. Notifications made, but stated no deaths. Shooter identified, no status of condition...
Rumor a LE injured, refused to confirm.
This happened before school start .. thus less numbers. Normal for kids to gather in school cafeteria on arrival.
