In a move that surprises absolutely no one, House Democrats have reelected their leadership team and have once again picked Nancy Pelosi to run for a fourth term as Speaker of the House, despite the fact they experienced some serious losses in in this most recent election.

Pelosi, who is 80-years-old, will run for the position during the first week of January when the House convenes for the 117th Congress. All members of the House, including Republicans, get to cast a vote for the speaker, which means she won’t have many additional votes to spare in order to reach the 218 votes needed to keep the position.

via Washington Examiner:

No Democratic lawmaker challenged Pelosi for the job, and there was little competition down the leadership chain. Majority Whip Steny Hoyer, 81, is expected to be reelected to his post, and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries won approval for another term as leader of the Democratic Caucus.

Democrats did not immediately announce the vote tally for Pelosi, or whether she won approval by acclamation.

Democrats approved Pelosi despite doubts, among some, that she should lead the party in the next Congress.

The only Democrat to voice disapproval with the idea of Pelosi getting another crack at the gavel was Rep. Elissa Slotkin from Michigan. A few others told the media they were currently undecided.

Guys, it doesn’t look like we are ever going to get rid of Nancy Pelosi. It’s going to be a long couple of years. Let’s hope in 2022, during the midterms, that we’re able to take back control of the House and Senate and remove Pelosi from this position.

You can tell a lot about a White House by the extracurricular nonsense that hits the press surrounding it.

For instance, after one of President Joe Biden’s dogs began biting random people on the grounds, we started hearing murmurs of just how terse and stressful the place had become, with dog behavior experts suggesting that the mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might have a lot to do with the aggression.

This week, the Biden administration beget more bad behavior, but this time it wasn’t from one of the First Pets.

Two U.S. Secret Service agents in South Korea were sent stateside ahead of President Biden’s arrival following their involvement in an off-duty alcohol-related incident.

The two agents, whose identities have not been made public, are on their way back to Washington, D.C. where they will face disciplinary action, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News.

Both agents apparently became intoxicated while not on duty. One of the agents then got into an altercation with a cab driver.

There could be more trouble coming, as well.

In South Korea, officials send mediators to the scene of low-level disputes and then determine if criminal charges would be filed.

One of the agents was interviewed by authorities and no charges have been filed.

The government released one of its usual, dry, boilerplate-esque missives.

“The Secret Service is aware of an off-duty incident involving two employees which may constitute potential policy violations,” USSS chief spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News. “We have very strict protocols and policies for all employees and we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.”

There is a history of poor behavior from the Secret Service during Democratic administrations, with a notable incident having occurred in 2012, involving Barack Obama’s agents and a Colombian prostitute.
