A Tampa attorney who was sentenced to eight years of sex offender probation and no prison time after pleading guilty to 34 counts of child pornography charges still will not “acknowledge the wrongful nature of his conduct,” a Florida judge said. That’s not from the judge who sentenced 52-year-old Chris Ragano in his criminal case, but the judge who was the referee in his Florida Bar discipline case.

A small section of the pool, which has been fully excavated, has been accessible to the public for several years. The vast majority of the pool is being excavated and will either be opened piecemeal or once the entire site is unearthed. The archeological project to fully excavate the pool will last a few years. There is a plan for space for visitors to the pool to view the ongoing excavation.

Bob Good says there will be 10-15 members block McCarthy tomorrow. He says they have an America First candidate that will be on the second ballot for Speaker. He says if they would’ve put forth the new name, that person would’ve suffered attacks and retaliation over the last few weeks.

In collusion with gun control groups, the Centers for Disease Control removed statistics on defensive use of firearms, newly revealed emails show. One gun control advocate said the numbers needed to be "killed, buried, dug up, killed and buried again".

I found this on Freespoke, a new search engine that doesn't censor viewpoints and respects privacy. Check it out: Freespoke.com

Mastodon was only a year old when, on April 14, 2017, they experienced a surge in new users. This saw the platform grow from 160,000 to about 300,000. The two communities that contained child exploitation content became the first and second largest communities in the "fediverse," or a network of interconnected servers and websites based on decentralized networking protocols. These communities overtook the platform’s mastodon.cloud and mastodon.social communities.In 2022, these were the "...two most active communities by a large margin in terms of total postings, ranking first and second with 60 million posts each against mastodon.social's 40 million posts," Secjuice wrote.

Speaker of the House timeline

Each new Congress assembles every two years at noon January 3 to begin the legislative year, according to the Constitution.
If everyone shows up, there will be 434 members — 222 Republicans and 212 Democrats.

Once a quorum is established, McCarthy and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York will be nominated for speaker by their respective conference chairs, Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.). Someone else will nominate Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), who plans to challenge McCarthy on at least the first ballot, and other nominations may be put forward.
The clerk will then call on individual members, who will announce their choice to the whole chamber.
Until the vote for speaker is settled, the House cannot conduct any other business — including the swearing-in of members.
With 222 members and all Democrats expected to vote against him, McCarthy can only afford four defectors to Biggs in order to win the speakership on the first try, assuming no absences or abstentions.
However, a band of five hardline conservatives known as the “Never Kevin Caucus” — led by Biggs and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) — have pledged since November not to vote for McCarthy.
The other members of the group include Bob Good (R-Va.), Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) and Ralph Norman (R-SC) — and nine others indicated late Sunday that McCarthy had to do more to win their support.

Congress can technically elect anyone speaker of the House, since there is no requirement that the position must be held by a member.
