House GOP Chaos Continues as Jordan Loses Speaker Vote—Again

Dear God, A Reliable GOP Donor to Trump and DeSantis Attempted a Murder/Suicide. 

A Republican activist who has been a reliable donor to Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — despite a racist tweet that put him on the outs with DeSantis’ predecessor, Rick Scott — shot a woman and then himself in the parking lot of a Palm Beach County restaurant, according to sheriff’s deputies. The activist, 72-year-old Steve Alembik, died. The woman, wounded in the back and arm, survived when she ran into the restaurant bleeding and was rushed to the hospital.

Time To Deflate Photo

The Schist Disk, uncovered by renowned British Egyptologist Brian Walter Emery while excavating the tomb of Prince Sabu, son of Adjuib Pharaoh, governor of the First Dynasty (circa 3000 BCE), was found among some common funerary objects.  The method used to craft the Schist Disk remains unknown. It continues to confound craftsmen even after two centuries. It looks like a chariot hubcap to me.

Peace.
