Break Out the Champagne: Republicans Take the House
The 218-majority mark has been reached in the House. The first order of business should be ending the kangaroo-court January 6 committee. Adam Schiff needs a rest. Eric Swalwell will have more time to prowl Chinese Karaoke bars searching for a new Fang Fang.
Liz Cheney should start packing now. Wyoming winters are cold she’ll need a coat. Nancy Pelosi will have to start flying commercial again. No more C-130s loaded with Botox following her private military ride.
My freezer isn’t filled with designer ice cream, but there is a bottle of champagne in the fridge.

I blame Trump.
If you don’t have yours yet, Costco has a nice selection, reasonably priced.
Ha ha. She’s not going there. She hasn’t lived there for years. She barely visited when she represented them.
Not much of a margin to work with. Hopefully, McCarthy can keep them in line…
One bright spot; Pelosi can stay home more and keep her husband from inviting strange men over…
Not just A Freezer. A $24,000 (estimated) Sub Zero freezer, with $12 per pint (I’ve read) ice cream.
(There’s a 2-bedroom HOUSE in my town for sale at $27,000.)
That story sure disappeared, didn’t it?
I saw a report yesterday, I think it was, that a local NBC TV reporter in San Fran was suspended for reporting some true facts about it.
I wonder why we don’t trust the news.
WE don’t. THEY still do.
This is good news.
So this election is a victory. Not as big a victory as we wanted or expected, but a victory nonetheless.
Bright spot for who? Not sure it is for Paul…
Look at Nancy or have skull fractured. Not much of a choice but at Paul’s age he might take Nancy. H*ll, she owns the refrigerator.
It was a NBC network correspondent based out of LA, not a local dude.

Y’all sure Pelsoi isn’t gonna wait around for another chance? Wouldn’t put it past her. Look at Diane Feinstein…or Biden et al.
It looks like he was suspended for reporting false information. Of course, I wasn’t there, so I can’t know what happened for certain.
The credible reports so far indicate that the assailant broke into the house. There were early, bizarre reports about the assailant being a homeless male prostitute for Mr. Pelosi, which appears to be false, and which if false, is quite a despicable thing to report.
Who had a professional 10-year track record as a reporter and even supposedly had earned an Emmy. Not that he isn’t a left-leaning flack like all the NBC’rs, but suspended for this story? Curious.
Local news report confirms some of the details for which the NBC reporter was suspended.
Body Cam Video Shows Paul Pelosi Opened Door for Police, Despite DOJ Saying Otherwise: Source – NBC Bay Area
Yes, I think he was suspended for reporting what the body cam video actually showed, not the story invented by the DOJ and others who contradict the video. i.e., he reported the actual video, not the lying about the video.
Can’t have that!
No champagne here, must’ve lost it overboard when that red wave came thru. It’ll have to be a double Oban, neat.
They still have a couple of months to do their dirty work.
If you think the NBC suspension is fishy, wait until you meet their new “senior law correspondent” covering SCOTUS: Laura Jarrett. Yep, Valerie’s progeny. No bias is expected out of that hire.
Just an extra port for me. And memories of the OU – N. Dame 65 years ago.
The retaking of the House requires that major kudos be given to Lee Zeldin for helping flip 4 seats in NY and Ron DeSantis for helping flip 4 seats in FL.
One seat in Wisconsin!
Oregon Reps picked up a seat. I don’t know who to thank. FL and NY don’t get much play here.
How could NY vote to have 4 more Republican House members, but still re-elect that moron Hochul? And then beg her to do something about the increased crime that she caused?
