Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key “architect” in Congress’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speaker’s gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speaker—after quickly killing Mike Emmer’s nomination the day before.
I got into wine about a month ago and wish I had sooner. It really isn’t as expensive as I thought it would be. I can buy a bottle of stuff I and my wife enjoy for about 20 bucks.
You might enjoy the app Vivino. It lets you scan wines with your phone and see ratings and notes about it.
It’s made finding great wines less of a gamble when wanting to try something new.
Thanks! The guy at my local wine store suggested that one as well. I will definitely check it out.
I am not going to be like those guys spitting into buckets with bottles too expensive to open. I am going buy a bottle each week and me and my wife will enjoy it together. Then we will try something new the next week. Also I want to learn how to pair it with food and occasions.
