Flotsam and Jetsam - Mike Johnson is Jim Jordan with a Jacket and a Smile

So, now that the Republicans have finally got their shit together and agreed on Mike Johnson as Speake of the House, Democrats and their media allies will stop carping and start working right? Not so much.  At Breitbart, Democrats Melt Down After GOP Conference Unanimously Elects Mike Johnson Speaker and CNN’s Tapper: Speaker Mike Johnson’s ‘Ideology Is Very Far to the Right’. Da Signal, Democrats, Leftists Cite Discredited Smear Factory to Demonize House Speaker Mike Johnson.  Harold Hutchinson at Da Caller, ‘He’s Jim Jordan With A Jacket And A Smile’: MSNBC Reporter Goes Off The Rails About New Speaker. You can stop, I already like him. At Da Wire, New House Speaker Has History Of Bluntly Confronting Democrats. Am Con calls him Chaotic Good "It was worth the wait." Am Spec's Scott McKay calls him The Speaker We Need, "Mike Johnson is the man for the job." Well, we'll find out. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 10.26.23 (Morning Edition), at Twitchy, MSNBC Reporter Losing Her Shit Over Speaker Johnson Will Make You Like Him Even More, Dana Loesch: Rep. Mike Johnson Elected Speaker of the House, Da Tech Guy: I suggest a backward House Vote, Victory Girls: Meet Mike Johnson (R-LA) The Speaker Of The House. and The Floridian, Cammack Pokes Fun at Jeffries' 'Dog Whistle' Speech to Congress.

Hat Hair's KT has DeSantis Updates on Florida's Israel Rescue Operation. "As of Wednesday, nearly 700 Americans have flown back to Florida from Israel on four flights. They received supportive resources available from several Florida state agencies and volunteer organizations."

At Am Think, D. Parker has another warning of The Extreme Danger of Mail-In Voting. We should rename it to drive-by voting, since many of the ballots are harvested and driven to the mail in huge lots.

John Solomon at JTN, FBI had more than 40 sources informing on possible criminal activity involving Bidens, Grassley says. "Grassley makes bombshell revelation in new letter, alleging avenues of inquiry were shut down." Da Wire reports FBI Received ‘Criminal Information’ From 40+ Confidential Sources On The Biden Family: U.S. Senator. Ace, Grassley: The FBI Received "Criminal Information" from 40 Confidential Sources Informing On The Bidens; The DOJ Shut the Investigations Down, Flashback: Greg Kelly Claims a Tape Of Biden Soliciting Bribes Will be Released by Halloween.

Also from Ace, US Asks Israel to Delay Ground Invasion... Because We're Not Prepared to Defend Our Foreign Bases from Terrorists. "Our "military" has been focusing on more serious matter, like pride flags and drag queens visiting the bases."

Breitbart, New York Judge Orders Donald Trump Take Witness Stand, Fines Him $10,000 Citing Gag Order Violation. "As CNBC noted, Engoron asked Trump who he was referencing when he spoke of a “very partisan judge with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is.”" From TNP, Trump Lodges 1A Challenge to Jan 6 Indictment. "Donald Trump’s lawyers have moved to have the Jan 6 indictments brought against him by Jack Smith for Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) dismissed, arguing they violate the U.S. Constitution by criminalizing “core political speech” protected by the First Amendment."  PJM's Stephen Kruiser notes Trump Is Not Going Quietly Into That Perversion of Justice Night. Da Caller hears a CNN Senior Legal Analyst Explain Why Mark Meadows Is Most ‘Problematic Witness’ For Prosecutors In Case Against Trump. "First of all the fact that his book is 320 pages, it’s filled with lies according to his own testimony now. And that is a problem. Look, no witness is perfect for the prosecutor, but now if you are going to put Mark Meadows on the stand, he has to say, ‘Yes, I lied to the American public for a long time. My book is filled with lies but now I’m telling the truth. ‘ There’s ways to deal with that as a prosecutor. You have to explain why this person has now seen the light, but it makes him imperfect to be sure.”" That's a problem with coercing witnesses. 

At TNP, REPORT: FBI, DOJ Sued After Spying on Congress Staffers With Direct Oversight. "Officials also admit the actions were linked to the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” Investigation into the bogus claims of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections.

PJM's Kevin Downey has Four Astounding Facts You Need to Know About Your Government NOW.  "The Biden Crime Family/Spy Ring Is Real . . . Joe Biden Used Aliases on 5,400 Emails Involving His Overseas Family Chicanery . . . The DOJ and FBI Are Persecuting Catholics, Pro-lifers, and Parents of School Kids . . . There Appear to Be Iranian Spies in the State Department, and No One Is Doing Anything About It"

Insty, I MEAN, HE’S NOT WRONG: Matt Taibbi: Amy Klobuchar, You Suck: The Minnesota Senator asks Amazon to censor Substack and Rumble. How much more of this can we take? "If your political program has to be protected from criticism by censorship, it sucks, and so do you for demanding censorship. And it’s not a question of how much we can take, but of how much we will take." Front Page has the video as  Dem Rep. Allred Threatens to Call Cops on Reporter for Asking Questions. "Why are you standing with Hamas against Israel?" Can you imagine the uproar if a Republican rep threatened to call the cops on a reporter asking obnoxious questions? Greg Lukianoff with The Eternally Radical Idea wonders Is the sudden discovery by campus leaders of political neutrality and freedom of speech for real? "In the wake of Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel, many colleges and universities seem to have suddenly rediscovered the value of free speech and academic freedom."

NYPo, ‘Doxxing trucks’ expand to Columbia, UPenn to expose campuses’ ‘leading antisemites’. A dose of their own medicine. Gene Volokh at the Volokh Report reports UC Berkeley Reverses Instructor's Attempt to Give Extra Credit for Pro-Palestinian Political Activity. "While instructors enjoy considerable freedom and all individuals, when acting as private citizens, enjoy free speech rights, University policy does impose limits on using the classroom or one's course for purposes of political advocacy." John Sexton at Hat Hair, Jewish Students at Cooper Union were Locked in a Library to Protect Them from Pro-Palestinian Protesters. As Ace notes No Big Deal, Just Mobs of Diverse Nazis Trapping and Terrorizing Jewish Students Trying to Study. "The Jewish students were committing the crime of cultural aggression by attempting to sit quietly in a library to study."
