Rep. Hern removes himself from Speaker consideration...
My personal Rep. in Congress (from Tulsa) was briefly fantasizing about being Speaker. Coming to grips, hopefully as a result of my saying mean things about him in the comments of the Tulsa World, he has withdrawn from consideration.
As being a congressman has been a side hustle for him, being speaker would cut into his active stock trading...
I'm thinking His feeding at the public trough--$2.7 million PPP forgiven, while bitching about Biden's student loan program, and voting for tax breaks that favored rich guys like himself, all the while complaining about deficits, was something folks beside me couldn't abide.
If he wants to stay relevant, I hear Trump will be looking for a new valet soon. I'll offer my endorsement.
