PJM's Stephen Kruiser snarks Scalise Is Out, So the GOP Drama in the House Is Over, Right? Hardly, Jordan had even less support in the caucus, but now he'll try to assemble the requisite votes over the weekend. ET reports Jordan Secures GOP Speaker Nomination, But Still Needs to Shore Up More Votes. "For the second time this week, the House GOP has picked their speaker-designate. NewsMax, Friday Speaker: Jordan First, Then Hern, Emmer, More. "Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., chair of the influential and conservative Republican Study Committee, will vote for Jordan on the opening ballot, but then will likely jump into the race if Jordan fails. There are strong signs Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., who is next in line to Scalise in the House GOP hierarchy, will also put his name forward." Hat Hair cites Jake Sherman New: Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA) files for Speaker election. Capt. Ed comments "Who, you may ask? He’s the Congressman who told CNN this morning that the speaker fight “makes us look like a bunch of idiots,” and declared that he would not vote for Jordan. And there still could be more candidates with Jordan and Scott — maybe Tom Emmer, who wanted to move up after Scalise won the nomination. The big question will be why the House GOP are bothering with a nominating process when no one apparently feels bound to support the results. Which makes them look like idiots, as Scott declared before entering the fray." C'mon, assholes, just draw straws or something.

Althouse, "So I don’t want to say anything off the cuff but I respect where you’re coming from." "Said Pete Buttigieg, quoted in "Climate protesters crash Buttigieg interview, chanting 'stop Petro Pete'" (The Hill). . . .As I was playing that video out loud, Meade said, "Why doesn't a Cabinet Secretary have better security?" And that made me think perhaps the interruption was considered desirable — by Buttigieg, by the Biden administration/campaign. It isn't hard to generate ideas about why getting interrupted by extreme and rude climate activists might be advantageous."
At TNP, New Study Finds Trump-Backed Hydroxychloroquine Was an Effective Covid Treatment After All. Researchers found a “statistically significant reduction in crude mortality rate at 28 days was observed in the [hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin] group” – emphasizing their findings “do not support the current negative recommendations regarding this treatment.” Donald Trump, who stuck by his belief in hydroxychloroquine, based on the testimony of frontline doctors, despite pressure to withdraw his support, long argued the animus against the drug was motivated purely by the fact he had endorsed it."
Breitbart reports Hamas Began Planning Attack on Israel Two Years Ago — After Afghanistan. At Da Wire, National Security Council Spokesman Breaks Down Over Images Of Hamas Atrocities. Mary Chastain at LI, has a Report: U.S., Qatar Agreed to Freeze Iran From Accessing $6 Billion "You know who lives in Qatar? Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh." I'll bet he's thinking twice about living openly. Althouse, "But Obama is Biden’s boss. Guess you didn’t really know that... I think Obama is calling these shots..." "There’s no question about that. No, I think Obama and Obama’s people certainly are calling the shots, not Biden." Said Donald Trump, in an interview with Brian Kilmeade."

Anxious is anxious that Colorado judge rejects first Trump challenge to 14th Amendment lawsuit. I predict they all will be rejected.
Steven Richards at JTN reports White House knew Biden had his own document problem before siccing FBI on Trump, new timeline shows. "A case of psychological projection? Biden's White House knew that he left boxes of documents at the Penn Biden Center a year before he directed NARA to facilitate FBI's raid on Trump home over documents." So has it all been a diversion from Biden's secret document problem?
At the Center Square, Ex-IRS contractor who leaked Trump's tax returns pleads guilty "Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., pleaded guilty Thursday to disclosing tax return information without authorization. He faces up to five years in prison at a sentencing hearing set for Jan. 29, 2024. Littlejohn, while working at the IRS as a contractor, stole tax return information associated with Trump and others. Littlejohn accessed tax returns associated with Trump on an IRS database "after using broad search parameters designed to conceal the true purpose of his queries," according to the U.S. Department of Justice. He then evaded IRS protocols to detect and prevent large downloads or uploads from its systems."

U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York Edgardo Ramos, an Obama appointee, allowed the lawsuit to proceed Tuesday, finding Lorenz’ argument that there is distinction between the word “leaked” as used in the article and the phrase “publically leaked” unpersuasive."
Stacy McCain has an Ironic Crime Update: Did a Gay Pedophile Basically Issue His Own Death Warrant? "The family of Robert Davis, 19, who is accused of killing local journalist Josh Kruger, said that Davis was just 15 when he and Kruger began a years-long relationship involving drugs — and that Davis told them Kruger was threatening to post sexually explicit videos of him online before, police say, Davis shot Kruger. . . As Dana Pico points out, sex with a 15-year-old would be a felony, and let me be clear that I am not saying Josh Kruger deserved to be shot to death by his alleged victim. I’m just saying it’s ironic."
Stacy is also amused that Michelle Goldberg, After Lying Down With Jew-Hating Dogs, Expresses Chagrin About Waking Up With Jew-Hating Fleas. Althouse hears about "An instructor at Stanford University.... asked Jewish and Israeli students to identify themselves... told [them to] stand in a corner, and said, 'This is what Israel does to the Palestinians'..." "From "Stanford instructor removed for targeting Jewish students as ‘colonizers’ after Hamas attack on Israel/Stanford officials were also criticized for neutral language in initially failing to unambiguously condemn Hamas"" From Twitchy, PoliMath takes Harvard students who celebrated dead Jews now begging for MERCY APART in BRUTAL thread. At the Free Bacon, The Shame of Academe. "As Israel mourns some 1,200 dead, prays for the release of more than 100 captives, reels from the worst day in its history, and mobilizes some 360,000 reservists, student activists and the international Left have mobilized to defend, apologize for, and appease evil."
