After Endorsing Jim Jordan, Trump Says He’d Accept House Speakership, But Only on 1 Condition
…Will there be a House Speaker Donald Trump? The former president says that it might happen — on one key condition, that is.
The former president and current GOP front-runner told Fox News that he would take on the speakership, something that some Republicans have proposed, but only in a short-term capacity as a “unifier” for the GOP caucus until a permanent replacement is found.
The announcement came after Trump formally endorsed Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, as his pick for a permanent speaker on Thursday evening.
“I have been asked to speak as a unifier because I have so many friends in Congress,” Trump said.
“If they don’t get the vote,” he said, “they have asked me if I would consider taking the speakership until they get somebody longer-term, because I am running for president.
“They have asked me if I would take it for a short period of time for the party, until they come to a conclusion — I’m not doing it because I want to — I will do it if necessary, should they not be able to make their decision.”

A well-oiled delusion machine
Capacity building means flooding the zone with money and other assets, including humans. ‘Media literacy’ will entail articles, school courses, credentials, and (very dubious) ‘scholars’. This is a well-oiled delusion machine. It both creates and reveals the hierarchy of delusion in our society. Buddhist delusion is not just idiosyncratic stuff in your own mind. Much of it also comes from the minds of our hierarchs and is designed to control the public. ABN
Trump attorney: This case is falling apart
Footprints show humans in America earlier than previously believed
A new analysis of tiny specks of pollen from long-dead conifer trees, seeds and sets of ancient footprints in New Mexico have revealed that humans arrived in North America much earlier than scientists previously thought.
If the findings hold, then they are the oldest footprints ever discovered in the U.S.
Because the footprints themselves can’t be carbon dated, the researchers behind the new study looked at seeds from aquatic plants found in the same layer of sediment — essentially a proxy dating tool. Carbon dating reveals that the seeds fell between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago — thousands of years earlier than previous estimates had supposed.

Schools cannot ban ‘merely offensive’ speech on gender identity, appeals court rules
The St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction Monday against an Iowa school district policy that threatens suspension and expulsion for “intentional and/or persistent refusal … to respect” a peer’s gender identity, finding it’s likely too vague to survive legal scrutiny.
“A school district cannot avoid the strictures of the First Amendment simply by defining certain speech as ‘bullying’ or ‘harassment'” as did the Linn-Mar Community School District, the three-judge panel ruled in a case that drew friend-of-the-court briefs by dozens of conservative and religious groups and 18 Republican-led states in favor of the plaintiffs.
A similar group of court watchers is asking the Boston-based 1st Circuit – which oversees Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island – to also overturn a lower court’s ruling that students do not have the right to assert the existence of the sexual binary while on school grounds.
America’s border war has begun: eyewitness report on Texas invasion of a Mexican cartel island crawling with gang members and ringed with sniper nests… and it’s all happening INSIDE the US
In the early dawn’s orange glow, a Texas Rangers commander briefs a heavily armed invasion force.
They’re preparing to seize a remote, 170-acre Mexican cartel-controlled island in the middle of the Rio Grande River overlooked by sniper nests and potentially booby-trapped.
Some of the dozens of assembled men shift from one foot to another or reposition their M-4 rifles as they listen to their commanders’ instructions.
‘Keep a close eye on those structures up there that have height advantage on us,’ he warns.
‘In case we do get engaged and someone is shot’ medical evacuation plans are in place and there are blood bags if the wounded need a transfusion, he assures them.
Any questions?
This may seem like a scene from a far-flung warzone.
But it’s just a glimpse of the hot war on America’s southern border – a direct consequence of an out-of-control crisis that has resulted in nearly five million illegal migrants entering the United States since President Joe Biden was inaugurated in 2021.

Is this Alexander the Great’s escort? Tomb of a courtesan who may have accompanied the Macedonian king is discovered after 2,300 years
The tomb of a courtesan who seduced the elite ‘during Alexander the Great’s campaigns’ has been discovered after 2,300 years.
Found south of Jerusalem, Israel, it contained the cremated remains of a young woman, and a rare box mirror that looks ‘as if it was made yesterday’.
Experts say she was a hetaira – a high-class escort from ancient Greece, who offered elite clients not only sex, but also companionship and intellectual stimulation.
And she may have plied her trade accompanying the armies of Alexander the Great, or those who warred for his vast empire after the conqueror’s demise.
The discovery, which is detailed in a new study, is thought to be the first hetairai tomb ever found.
Whoa! That’s a YES. Speaker of the House — DJT ‘willing to help out’
He is a political joy! President Trump as Speaker would rock this country like nothing else! Have read that anyone indicted on felony charges cannot be Speaker. Maybe there is a workaround since the charges against him are themselves treasonous interference in an election. ABN
Swiss Writer Sentenced to 60 Days in Jail for Calling Journalist a ‘Fat Lesbian’
LGBTQ+ groups hailed the 60-day jail sentence a court in Switzerland gave to a writer and commentator for deriding a journalist as a “fat lesbian” and other critical remarks.
The Lausanne court sentenced French-Swiss polemicist Alain Bonnet, who goes by Alain Soral, for the crimes of defamation, discrimination and incitement to hatred on Monday. He was ordered to pay legal fees and fines totaling thousands of Swiss francs (dollars) in addition to the time behind bars.
Soral lashed out at Catherine Macherel, a journalist for Swiss newspapers Tribune de Geneve and 24 Heures, in a Facebook video two years ago. He called her a “fat lesbian” and said Macherel’s work as a “queer activist” meant she was “unhinged,” according to Swiss public broadcaster RTS.
“This court decision is an important moment for justice and rights of LGBTQI people in Switzerland,” said Murial Waeger, co-director of the lesbian activist group LOS, in a statement. “The conviction of Alain Soral is a strong signal that homophobic hatred cannot be tolerated in our society.”
In an email Tuesday to The Associated Press, Pascal Junod, a lawyer for Soral, mockingly blasted the conviction for a “crime of opinion” and said the case aimed to probe whether a person had “sinned against the dogmas of single thought.” Soral will appeal to Swiss federal court and “if necessary” to the European Court of Human Rights, the lawyer wrote.
My understanding is ‘queer’ activism is political and ideological and has little or nothing to do with sexuality or gender identification per se. If he is being charged with insulting her for calling her a lesbian it is the law that is insulting lesbians because it says calling someone a lesbian is an insult. If the person is fat, it’s not an insult and if she is not fat it’s not an insult either; it’s just a bad description. Again, it is the law that is insulting fat people. Would he go to jail if he called her a bitch or said her mom wears combat boots to church? I hate these stupid freaking laws designed to ‘protect’ some designated groups. The left uses morality that only they are allowed to define to stifle the rights of individuals. ABN
