McCarthy lacks the votes for Speaker on 11th ballot. Likely 12th ballot coming. House Speaker Philip Barbour of Virginia won the Speakership on the 12th ballot in 1821. But unlikely that McCarthy will do so.
I just got a text from Matt Gaetz….to stop McCarthy!! Lol…go, Matt!!
It goes directly to his campaign. Not WinRed, etc.

11 voting rounds

I don’t even need to write his name b/c you know who I’m talking about
LOL... that one is hilarious! Trump as Speaker
Who are all of the “other” votes for now? Is that just Donalds? I am assuming the people listed on the roster are those who are formally nominated prior to each session?
Trump as speaker would be epic!
Meanwhile....on the border. Biden invokes new parole rule to slow immigrants from coming across the border. Thing is it only applies to 4 countries. Now I asked myself, why these four countries? What do they have in common?
Answer: the people coming from them are escaping communism and when they get settled in America they vote overwhelmingly for Republicans. They can see the Dems are moving America towards Communism and tyranny.
Biden and the Dems don’t care about drug or human trafficking. They only care about power.
They are voting on Round 11 now, but Kevin has already lost that one.
Here are the results from Round 10—for Round 11, Trump was nominated by Gaetz formally:

Good news from Tufts University. It has decided to stop requiring the bivalent covid booster. Tufts leaders mandated it despite no demonstrated ability to stop transmission.
Finally a prominent American university takes a step toward sanity.
Is there going to be another vote?

Trump-1
Present- 1
They are supposed to keep voting until an adjournment is agreed upon.
They’re talking about adjourning.
There’s drinks to be drank and restaurant reservations to be met, and lots of yammering to be done. McCarthy got 200, but he doesn’t seem very bothered. He’s determined to get what he wants.
Members recording their yes or no to adjournment on electronic device.
I’m surprised there wasn’t a water main break that put Jeffries up to 300. I guess these elections are a little more secure.
Five rounds today.
McCarthy is consistent—he lost all of them.
Damar Hamlin woke up today and asked who won the game. Miraculous.
He wrote on a piece of paper “Who won the game?”
The doctors replied “You won. You won the game of life”.
A miracle indeed.
May the Lord be praised.

McCarthy allies move to adjourn until noon et tomorrow. Democrats and McCarthy opponents can defeat this if they vote together
This is a roll call vote.
433 members have been voting today. 217 will be the magic number to adjourn if everyone is here.

When the country is being destroyed in unprecedented ways, sometimes you need to do unprecedented things to get it back on course.
We are fighting to save America and we won’t back down.
