However "Pranks for the Memories with the Casagrandes" focuses on a similar theme. Luan also has other talents which include being an expert birthday clown, juggler, magician, mime artist, and ventriloquist where she owns a dummy named Mr. Coconuts. It is often shown that Luan gets jealous of her other siblings at times, an example being the episode "Funny Business" where Lincoln begins to overshadow her as a birthday clown.

Additionally, the Arabic and Sinhala dubs gave Howard a female voice actor and addressed him as Clyde's mother, while Clyde addresses Howard as his uncle and Harold as his only father in the Korean dub. Luna's girlfriend Sam was also given a male voice actor and addressed as Luna's boyfriend in the Arabic dub and the Korean dub in season 2. Home to Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, Lily and… Lincoln Loud! As the only brother in the house with five older sisters, five younger sisters and one bathroom, life in the Loud house can get pretty crazy.

Franchise

He owns a walkie-talkie that he uses on missions with Lincoln, and is usually up-to-date on code words used when conveying messages. Clyde shares many interests with Lincoln, such as video games and science fiction movies. He used to have an unrequited crush on Lori and tended to get nosebleeds and faint whenever he saw her.

Carlos Casagrande

Gayle McBride (voiced by Loretta Devine, portrayed by Gail Everett-Smith in A Loud House Christmas) is the mother of Harold and the adoptive grandmother of Clyde. She was mentioned a lot in the series before showing up in person in the episode "Resident Upheaval" where she was up against Myrtle for an available room in Sunset Canyon Retirement Home, sparking a competition between Lincoln and Clyde to see whose grandmother will move in. By the end of the episode, Gayle gets a double room while gaining Myrtle as her roommate.

He used to have an unrequited crush on Lori and tended to get nosebleeds, faint whenever he saw her, and/or he acts like a malfunctioned robot. He wears circular glasses, a yellow and blue striped sweater, black pants, and black tennis shoes. Clyde is a 5th grader at Royal Woods Elementary School until "Schooled!" when he begins attending Royal Woods Middle School as a 6th-grader. As the series goes on, many of the individual siblings get their own spotlight episodes, often focusing on their lives outside the titular house.

Rita Loud

Carlos "CJ" Casagrande Jr. (voiced by Jared Kozak)[38] is the second eldest and the eldest son of Carlos and Frida's children, Rosa and Hector's grandson, and the cousin of Bobby and Ronnie Anne. He was born with Down syndrome and possesses a very sunny disposition. Sharon Loud (voiced by Ozioma Akagha) is an African-American woman who is Lance's wife, Lynn Sr. and Rita Loud's sister-in-law, and the kids' paternal aunt.

As of "Schooled!", Leni becomes the oldest sibling in the house while Lori is away at Fairway University, is a senior, and attends school with Luna and Luan. Luan Loud (voiced by Cristina Pucelli) is the 14-year-old fourth child of the Loud family, (15-year-old season 5 onward), the roommate of Luna and is named after one of Savino's five sisters. She is depicted as the comedian of the house, with most of her dialogue consisting of bad puns that annoy her siblings. Luan wears a white sleeveless shirt, a yellow skirt, yellow socks, brown shoes, and 3 pink flowers.

Seasons

Maria Casagrande-Santiago[37] (voiced by Sumalee Montano)[38] is Ronnie Anne and Bobby's mother, Carlos' sister, and Rosa and Hector's daughter. When the Santiago's move to Great Lakes City, Maria works at the local hospital as an emergency room nurse. In at least two episodes so far, she is shown to have childish arguments with her brother Carlos.

Shane Loud (voiced by Christopher Livingston) is the oldest son of Lance and Sharon and the kids' paternal cousin. I'll try to keep this relatively brief, but here are my top 15 most liked characters (not necessarily the best consistently written or most developed, though obviously those factors will help influence this list to an extent) from The Loud House universe. There are two characters from the spinoff show The Casagrandes who are also main characters in The Loud House. The Loud House has received favorable reviews from viewers and critics, with the praise focused on its casting, animation, character portrayals, and writing. Since then, it has been considered to be one of the best modern Nicktoons to date, alongside Harvey Beaks.

She is usually seen wearing a long pink gown, sash, a white pearl necklace and earrings, long pink gloves, pink high heels, and a tiara. When her siblings confess to each other things they did, Lola often rats on them, especially Lincoln. Underneath her mean-spirited exterior, Lola is shown to be forgiving and affectionate and admits to herself that she is a "crazy pants" sometimes.

On October 19, 2016, the series had been picked up for a third season of 26 episodes. Savino has cited Peanuts and Polly and Her Pals as influences on the show's characterizations and animation. Newspaper comic strips are also influences on the show's background art. Lincoln Loud was originally voiced by Sean Ryan Fox in the show's pilot "Bathroom Break!" He was replaced by Grant Palmer for the series proper (as Sean's voice had hit puberty by that time).

She is a cheerful, happy-go-lucky admirer of vintage fashion and has a following on social media. Hector Rodrigo Casagrande-Guiterrez (voiced by Ruben Garfias)[38] is Ronnie Anne and Bobby's grandfather and Maria and Carlos' father. He is the patriarch of the Casagrande family and the proprietor of the Casagrande Mercado on the ground floor of the family's apartment building. Hector is gossipy and knows how to play the guitar while also having his own band. In "Battle of the Grandpas", it is revealed that Hector used to be a bull rider in his youth.

During the show's fourth week of premieres, Cyma Zarghami announced that it was continuing to draw more viewers than any other program on the channel. Jam Filled Entertainment, a Canadian-based animation studio located in Ottawa (now owned by Boat Rocker Media), animates the whole series digitally with Toon Boom Harmony software. The fact that he's [Lincoln] in the middle is not necessarily an accident.

Throughout the series, she is shown to act like a dog as she eats either trash or dog food. It is stated by Leni and Lincoln in Leni's Listen Out Loud podcast that the family buys her food and toys at the pet shop. As of the episode "Strife of the Party", Lana and Lola are now 7 years old.

Lana is the identical twin sister of her roommate Lola and was born two minutes before her as revealed in the episode "Ties That Bind". She wears mostly a red baseball cap, white sneakers, a murky green t-shirt and dark blue overalls. Lana is depicted as a tomboy who loves to play in the mud and get her hands dirty. Lana is a skilled handy worker, plumber, and mechanic who loves animals (mostly frogs and reptiles) that she will defend from any possible harm.

In "Any Given Sundae", Lily tries her first ice cream and enjoys it despite some setbacks. In "Schooled!", Lily starts saying more words while referring to herself in the third person, starts wearing clothes, and was reluctant to start preschool at Baby Bunker Preschool by pretending to forget how she was potty-trained until she saw Leni's posts of what they did there. The character got his name from E Lincoln Avenue in Royal Oak, where the show's creator Chris Savino grew up. Lincoln has a passion for comic books, in particular his favorite superhero Ace Savvy which has a playing card theme.

Lisa Loud

Along with Lana and Lily, she has the best younger sister relationship with Lincoln. At school, Lucy is a part of the Morticians' Club with similar students. Lucy has a bust of the vampire Edwin, who is from her favorite book and TV series The Vampires of Melancholia. While she pledges to be with Edwin in the afterlife, her crush is Rusty Spokes' younger brother Rocky. Lucy is a 3rd grader at Royal Woods Elementary School for the first four seasons and attends school with her siblings Lincoln, Lana, Lola, and Lisa. But, as of "Schooled!", Lucy is a 4th grader and attends school with her younger sisters Lana, Lola, and Lisa.

Savino's firing

Leni is named after the character Lennie Small, a mentally-challenged but compassionate and physically strong and curious companion of George Milton in John Steinbeck's novella Of Mice and Men. Leni and her older sister Lori are roommates, but they are not anymore as Lori attends Fairway University as of "Schooled!". Leni wears a seafoam green dress, red hoop earrings, white slip-on sandals with seafoam green bows, and white sunglasses that she is almost seen wearing on top of her head. Along with Luna, she has the best relationship with Lincoln of his older sisters. Leni was promoted a job at Reininger's Department Store at the Royal Woods Mall folding clothes.

Sharon makes her first appearance in "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas" where she was shown to be close with Rita. When her husband Lance got enraged when he saw his brother Lynn, Sharon taught him a method to stay calm which he eventually took into heart later in the episode. This is a list of the English voice actors who have voiced characters in The Loud House franchise. The actors are listed alphabetically by last name, and their characters are listed by the order of appearance, plus whether they're recurring or one-off.

She has a habit of losing her diaper causing her fellow siblings to put her diaper back on. Lincoln, the siblings, and the parents always change Lily's diaper in Lisa and Lily's room. The only phrase Lily generally says aside from gibberish is "poo-poo", generally coupled with her diaper flying across the screen or needing a diaper change. Lily shares a room with her older sister Lisa and sometimes her gibberish can be translated by some of her siblings. Around the end of "Washed Up", Lily is the only one who sees Lake Eddy's residential cryptid Plessy which Lincoln and Lucy were wanting to find.

Episodes200

Shiloh Loud (voiced by Bahia Watson) is the youngest child of Lance and Sharon and the kids' paternal cousin. Shiloh is known to do cannonballs into any physical object and can lift objects much larger and heavier than he is. The third animated film in the franchise, was first unveiled on April 26, 2024 on Nickelodeon’s Instagram page.[9] It is scheduled to release on Paramount+. The Loud House is currently the fourth-longest running Nicktoon in terms of episode count, behind The Fairly OddParents, the original Rugrats, and SpongeBob SquarePants. The pilot episode was originally produced as part of Nickelodeon's 2013 Animated Shorts Program, and was later re-released with a new title, "Bathroom Break!!", on Nick.com in 2016. The show's highest-rated episode, with 2.28 million viewers upon its premiere, is "Two Boys and a Baby." This was the first episode to air after it was announced that Howard and Harold McBride would be debuting on the program.

A Loud House Christmas, The Really Loud House

The first episode of The Loud House shown in prime time, "11 Louds a Leapin'," was the seventh most-viewed telecast across all U.S. households on Friday, November 25, 2016. Nickelodeon and its YouTube channel have done a series of podcasts called Listen Out Loud, where each member of the Loud family does a podcast revolving around their topics. It's wasn't immediately clear if the supposedly offending Nickelodeon episodes ever aired in Kenya. Stanley Chang (voiced by Ken Jeong) is the Chinese father of Sid and Adelaide. He works as a subway conductor in Great Lakes City's subway system called the GLART (short for Great Lakes Area Rapid Transit). Rosa Casagrande (voiced by Sonia Manzano)[38] is Ronnie Anne and Bobby's grandmother, Maria and Carlos' mother, and Lupe and Lazaro's daughter.

Royal Woods Elementary School

From the fifth season on, Lily is seen wearing a white shirt, lavender shorts, and white booties. Lily is babysat by Lincoln on several occasions, with whom she has the best younger sister relationship along with Lucy and Lana. She has a habit of losing her diaper, which her older siblings put back on. Her siblings and her parents always change Lily's diaper in her and Lisa's room. Prior to season five, the only phrase aside from gibberish Lily says is "poo-poo", usually as her diaper flies across the screen or she needs a diaper change.

Early in development, the Loud family was originally going to be a family of rabbits, and instead of 11 children, there were going to be 26, a reference to the fact that rabbits can reproduce so quickly. An employee at Nickelodeon suggested to Savino that it would be best if the characters were humans. This abandoned concept was eventually explored in the Season 3 episode, "White Hare." Chris Savino based The Loud House on his own experiences growing up in a large family.

The series takes place in a fictional town called Royal Woods, which is located somewhere in Michigan. The series largely revolves around Lincoln's point of view in dealing with his 10 other sisters. New characters have been introduced over time as the show has run its course which include; Lincoln's best friend Clyde, Lincoln's classmates, faculty at Lincoln's school, Lincoln's extended family, neighbors, and the Casagrande family among others in Royal Woods.

This horror flick has become a horror classic, literally creating the torture film sub-genre. StrangeLand 2 is currently in development. Best known as the lead singer of the acclaimed rock band, Twisted Sister, Dee Snider is a radio personality, television host, author, screenplay writer, actor, doting husband of over three decades, father of four children, and a grandfather too.

The significance of the White House Correspondents Dinner

Dee’s hit song-writing credits extend to many genres of music and have been covered by major artists the world over. Celine Dion’s version of “The Magic Of Christmas Day (God Bless Us Everyone)” was a significant part of her international, multi-platinum These Are Special Times album. We'll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better. Look, folks, I remember there used to be two parties — real parties, you know. But this ain’t your father’s Republican Party. This is a different breed of cat.

The Circus Trump Wanted Outside His Trial Hasn’t Arrived

The rest of the world looks to us. By the way, if you ever need — if you’re ever in a foxhole, I tell you, you want Marty Walsh — (pronounced in an accent) — with you, man.  (Laughter.)  Oh, you think I’m kidding. And that’s the reason — the reason you’re the best is because you’re the best trained in the world. But Donald Trump has no clue.

Weekly Pop Quiz

(Applause.)  That will — (applause) — that alone will increase wages for more than a million construction workers. Look, in Scranton, I learned a basic value set that all of you learned as well, no matter where you’re from. I learned that money doesn’t determine your worth.

That one act — that one act has already protected hard-earned pensions of over 1 million workers and retirees and counting. Trump put union busters on the Nabor La- — the National Labor Relations Board throughout his administration. I’ve appointed people in my administration that actually care about American workers, like former bui- — the building trades leader, Marty Walsh, who was a great Labor Secretary — (applause) — during my administration. Since — since the 1930s, the law has said when the federal government spends taxpayers’ dollars on a project, it can only buy American products to do it and use American workers to get it done. That’s “Buy America.”  Donald Trump failed to uphold that. My administration uses American products and American workers.

While Laura’s chaste courtship with her eventual husband Almanzo Wilder made little girls swoon in the Little House books, the onscreen version played out much differently. In her 2009 memoir and multiple interviews, Gilbert revealed that this was because her own first kiss and Laura’s were one and the same. The inexperienced 15-year-old Gilbert had to lock lips with 23-year-old actor Dean Butler, who played Almanzo, rather than share the milestone moment with a beau of her own choosing. Afterward, Gilbert begged Landon to keep lovey-dovey scenes between the Wilders out of the bedroom and limited to hugs or pecks on the cheek. Gilbert didn’t stay squeamish about the opposite sex for long, dating a parade of teen heartthrobs including Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Scott Baio and even punk prince Billy Idol.

It hasn’t been the “nerd prom” for a while. Once a popular target of jokes about bad fashion (and not just from the evening’s featured comedian host), the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner has morphed in recent years into a less campy, more staid prelude to the Met Gala, which takes place days later. It’s only fitting, really, given the subtext of journalists being jailed around the world. And, folks, the choice is clear. Donald Trump’s vision of America is one of revenge and retribution.

Trump and his MAGA allies want to repeal the most significant investments in climate ever — the work that — that you risked your lives doing lots of it. You know, it — and he wants to risk all those jobs. (Applause.)  I mean it sincerely. Especially being fired because you had no protection.

House of Hair

Folks, being with you today reminds me of where I grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware. I was up in Scranton last week. Be it frugality or admiration, Landon shamelessly repurposed some of his favorite Bonanza storylines into Little House plots. Among them, Bonanza’s “A Matter of Circumstance” sees Landon’s Little Joe nearly lose an injured arm, and possibly his life, to infection with no one at the ranch to come to his aid. In Little House’s “A Matter of Faith,” an infected wound on Ma’s leg nearly proves fatal before she can join Charles and the girls on a campout. Though they famously tormented one another onscreen, Melissa Gilbert found an instant and lifelong best friend in Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson).

And how many politicians have met a photo op they didn’t want to seize for a messaging moment? All anyone has to do is read their looks, if not their lips. Think about the guys you grew up with who you’d like to get into the corner and just give them a straight left.

See Billy Porter in a black sequin caftan over a classic white shirt; Questlove, in an artistically paint-splattered jacket; and Fran Drescher, the SAG-AFTRA president, in a white brocade pantsuit. Well, Trump is proud of his $2 trillion tax cut in his administration that overwhelmingly benefited the very wealthy and the biggest corporations while exploding the federal debt. Trump added more to the national debt than any president in a single term in all of American history — to the national debt.

I learned that all anyone wants is just a fair shot — a fair shot of making it. Don’t block the road for me.  Give me an even shot. Well, let me tell you something. I’m proud to be the most union pres- — pro-union president in American history. You’re proof what have — I’ve always known.

Charles finds Josephine’s little black notebook, which contains her firsthand accounts of the crimes. Josephine murdered her grandfather because he wouldn’t let her take ballet lessons, and her nanny because she spoke badly about her. Edith moves forward with a murder-suicide to stop Josephine from causing any more harm and to spare her from a lifetime in a mental institution. Crooked House is one of Christie’s favorites among her own work. The novel takes place in post-World War II England and tells the story of the poisoning murder of wealthy 85-year-old Aristide Leonides and his family, whose distorted relationships lead to all of them becoming suspects in the crime.

Review: In ‘Housekeeping for Beginners,’ a makeshift family evokes universal pain

A private investigator helps a former flame solve the murder of her wealthy grandfather, who lived in a sprawling estate surrounded by his idiosyncratic family. Paquet-Brenner and his two co-writers (including “Gosford Park” screenwriter Julian Fellowes) handle the whodunit reveal at the end fairly well, despite its haphazard staging, but it’s an interminable journey to reach that end point. It’s utterly baffling that the film spends so much time teeing up Hayward’s backstory only to effectively render it irrelevant in the face of the central mystery (I assume this works better on the page).

Review: ‘Crooked House’ delivers a thrilling Agatha Christie

But the court is just one plot of a vast terrain that Trump has conquered — not with crime, but corruption. Sophia and Charles mourn the fates of Edith and the “crooked child,” but are glad to leave Three Gables behind and begin their married lives free of scandal. As the novel ends, the surviving Leonides family members take their leave of the crooked house. Charles’s father, Arthur Hayward, is the assistant commissioner of Scotland Yard. Through his father and his connection to Sophia, Charles becomes involved in the investigation. He temporarily moves into Three Gables to assist with interviewing each Leonides family member.

Drone data unearthed of the Crooked House pub

Charles agrees to help his father, an assistant commissioner of Scotland Yard, to investigate the crime. He becomes a house guest at Three Gables, hoping that someone might reveal a clue at an unguarded moment. Three generations of the Leonides family live together under wealthy patriarch Aristide. His first wife Marcia died; her sister Edith has cared for the household since then.

Crime is when a U.S. resident is murdered and dismembered by Saudi hit men. Corruption is when the all but acknowledged killer invests $2 billion in your talentless son-in-law’s fund, which other investors shun. Crime is when you launch a violent attempt to overthrow the republic. Corruption is when you convince an entire political party to pretend they didn’t watch it live on television, or cower from it inside the Capitol while dozens of police officers were being bludgeoned by the mob. He said its destruction was part of a disturbing trend where "short sighted greed trumps the preservation of our cultural heritage". It was first built in 1765 as a farmhouse, but because of mining in the area during the early 19th Century, one side of the building began to gradually sink.

More From the Los Angeles Times

Mr Longhi urged his fellow members of parliament to "stand with the ghosts of The Crooked House" as he put forward his motion. The conservative MP said "enough was enough" as he put forward his proposals and made reference to the "devastating loss" of the 18th century Himley pub, which was destroyed after a suspected arson attack on August 5 last year. Dudley North MP Marco Longhi has proposed a new law to protect historic sites like The Crooked House as a pub association says "now is not the time". The Crooked House was built as a farmhouse in 1765 and is thought to have been a pub since around 1830. It was famous for its wonky floors which were the result of mining subsidence which caused one side of the building to be lower than the other and optical illusions inside the building made objects appear to roll uphill.

Why Gillian Flynn launched her book imprint with a debut noir about a rebel nun

Edith is diagnosed with a fatal illness, and is told she has only months to live. It seeps into the muscle and sinew of democratic society and institutions; it devours from within. The Supreme Court, drunk on arrogated power, cut loose from rudimentary ethics, has been eaten alive by it.

MP proposes new law to protect historic sites like The Crooked House - but pub association says 'now is not the time'

After a fire on August 5, 2023—which police believe was set deliberately—the pub was forced to close. Shortly after the investigation was announced, the owners illegally tore down what remained of the building. During World War II, Sophia goes to Cairo to work in the office of Foreign Affairs.

The prime suspects in the case are Brenda and the family’s live-in tutor Laurence Brown. Rumors of an affair between the two persist, but the investigation turns up little evidence. Agatha Christie’s massive collection of novels and stories are largely evergreen properties because of their elegant, economical storytelling and their sense of intrigue. This year alone, Kenneth Branagh directed and starred in the fourth adaptation of Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express” to great commercial success. And it’s always a good thing when a publisher makes a concentrated effort to acquire diverse books, as Get Lifted and Zando are doing.

The coroner ascertains that his insulin shot, administered daily by Brenda, was swapped out for his medicinal eye drops that contain the toxic chemical eserine. The entire Leonides family falls under suspicion, and reputation-conscious Sophia refuses to marry Charles until their name is cleared. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times.

The radio play was dramatised by Joy Wilkinson and directed by Sam Hoyle. Towards the end of the Second World War, Charles Hayward is in Cairo and falls in love with Sophia Leonides, a smart, successful Englishwoman who works for the Foreign Office. They put off getting engaged until the end of the war when they will be reunited in England.

He said improved legislation was needed to compel councils to better protect heritage pubs. The future of the site has dominated headlines since it was completely flattened last summer days after a suspected arson attack severely damaged the building. Calls for it to be re-built have been at the centre of a heart-felt community campaign spearheaded by a 37,000-strong Facebook group. In February, South Staffordshire Council issued an enforcement notice for unlawful demolition and ordered the owners to rebuild it back “to what it was before the fire” within three years.

The younger son, Roger, is managing director of a major family business, but is a failure who has required multiple bail-outs. His domineering wife Clemency is a plant biologist with extensive knowledge of poisons. Aristide's elder son, Philip, hated his father for passing him over as successor to the family business, and for refusing to fund production of a screenplay he wrote for his wife, Magda, a fading theatre actress. Their children (Aristide's grandchildren) are Sophia, Eustace (a teenager affected by polio), and Josephine, a clever 12-year-old who knows everyone's business.

Contrived tensions between Hayward and Scotland Yard are similarly peppered in for little reason at all. Josephine is angry that her private notebook has disappared. Her nanny prepares hot chocolate for her and dies after Josephine refuses it and she drinks it herself. Again, Josephine refuses, even when Charles warns her that she is in danger.

While they are in custody, the children's nanny dies after drinking a digitalis-laced cup of cocoa that had apparently been intended for Josephine. The coroner finds that the nanny had died of cyanide poisoning. He searches Edith's garden shed, and finds a bottle of cyanide; also Josephine's missing notebook, buried in quicklime. Taverner arrives to take over the case; he feels Charles's history with Sophia compromises him. The discovery of love letters between Brenda and Laurence gives Taverner enough evidence to arrest them for Aristide's murder and the attempt on Josephine's life.

After Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election and Trump refused to concede while making claims of election fraud, Jordan supported lawsuits to invalidate the election results and voted not to certify the Electoral College results. Jordan was a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus in 2015, and served as its first chairman from 2015 to 2017. Led by Jordan, the conservative members of the caucus pushed for a motion to "vacate the chair" against then-Speaker John Boehner, the same move that ultimately ousted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his speakership. Before any vote could take place, Boehner announced his resignation in September 2015. As the current chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Jordan has been his caucus' chief investigator of Biden and his family, running probes into both the president and his son Hunter Biden. His panel was also among the three congressional committees McCarthy tasked with opening an impeachment inquiry into the president.

Will Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise — or even Kevin McCarthy — be the next speaker of the House? - ABC News

Will Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise — or even Kevin McCarthy — be the next speaker of the House?.

Posted: Tue, 10 Oct 2023 07:00:00 GMT [source]

The committee said that on Jan. 2, 2021, Jordan led a conference call in which he and other members of Congress discussed with Trump strategies to delay the joint session on Jan. 6 to certify the electoral votes solidifying Joe Biden's victory. Jordan has served in the House since 2007 and has held several leadership roles, including chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and ranking member on both the House Oversight and Judiciary committees. Twenty-five Republicans voted against the fourth bill, which included measures that could lead to a ban on TikTok in the United States and that would redirect funds from seized Russian assets to help aid Ukraine. Democrats put up a big vote — 174 — in favor of this bill, which was intended to sweeten the overall package for conservatives.

Scalise will not run for speaker again

Twenty-five Republicans opposed him in a third vote, putting him even further from the speakership. When McCarthy negotiated himself into the speakership earlier this year, one of his key concessions was allowing any House member to file a motion to vacate, or remove him from speaker. Representative Matt Gaetz, a far-right Republican from Florida, filed such a motion earlier this month and enough Republicans – eight in total – voted against McCarthy to oust him.

Hoyer: "Republicans need to work together with us to create a functional House of Representatives"

"We knew of no abuse. Never heard of abuse. If we had, we would have reported it," Jordan said in 2018 when the ex-wrestlers claimed he was aware. Two former university wrestlers, Mike DiSabato and Dunyasha Yetts, claimed Jordan was aware of allegations that a now-dead team doctor was abusing athletes. Jordan has repeatedly denied any knowledge of the abuse, and Jordan himself has never been accused of sexual misconduct.

Spartz drew headlines earlier this year when she voted “present” multiple times during the long process to elect McCarthy as Speaker. The U.S. House remained without a speaker Tuesday afternoon as about 20 Republicans, including Indiana's Victoria Spartz, voted for candidates other than GOP nominee Jim Jordan of Ohio. The United States is divided into 435 congressional districts, each with a population of about 710,000 individuals. Each district elects a representative to the House of Representatives for a two-year term. Americans in the United States’s six territories are represented in the House of Representatives by an additional six non-voting delegates. As members of Congress voted for a second time, most Republicans - including Jordan - cast ballots for McCarthy with a handful backing Jordan.

Jordan excelled as a high-school wrestler, winning the Ohio state championships four times. Jordan is a fiscal conservative who believes that families and taxpayers, rather than government, know best how to make decisions with their money. Throughout his career, Jim Jordan has led the fight against tax hikes, including those proposed by his own political party.

Duarte and Garcia’s races are considered “toss-ups,” Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan congressional watchdog, noted on Friday. Cook rates Valadao and Steel’s races as leaning Republican, and Kim’s as likely to go Republican. He built his brand on being a roaring archconservative unafraid to take on liberals. He was a pioneer of this new right-wing faction that has become the face of the Republican Party.

One might say it indicates their true loyalties, in spite of all those nice ribbon-cuttings and the “we’re here to help” images they like to portray. After Republicans ousted Kevin McCarthy as speaker, Patrick McHenry, a North Carolina Republican, became the speaker pro tempore. McCarthy chose McHenry to take on that role should the speakership ever be declared vacant. Even as it was clear that Jordan had no clear path to becoming the speaker, no Republican emerged to seriously challenge him. Republicans currently have a Sunday noon deadline to announce their candidacy ahead of another round of speakership talks.

In 2018, former wrestlers he coached at Ohio State University accused him of having failed to stop the team's doctor from molesting them and other students. Jordan, who was the university's assistant wrestling coach from 1986 to 1994, has repeatedly said he knew nothing of the abuse until former students began speaking out. WASHINGTON — Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is the only candidate in the race for House speaker, but he's still struggling to win over enough support from rank-and-file Republicans to get elected in a formal floor vote. On Jan. 3, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy became the first candidate in the majority party to lose a bid for the House speakership in 100 years. He won the gavel in the 15th round of voting, making his election the longest since before the Civil War. On Monday night, Spartz released a statement expressing concerns about Jordan’s leadership and if the Ohio Republican would adopt what she called “intimidation” tactics used by McCarthy to gain speaker votes.

Garcia is the only one of the five Californians in question who voted against certifying some election results. Valadao has said in statements that he backed Jordan “because we need to get back to work” and that he would support a plan to empower McHenry. House Republicans have struggled to pick a leader since eight Republicans on Oct. 3 led a vote, joined by Democrats, to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield from the speaker’s chair. The new speaker will take over as Congress faces numerous crises both domestically and abroad. Funding for federal agencies extends only through Nov. 17, and lawmakers will have to act to avert a government shutdown.

If they can show they backed Jordan for practical reasons, voters may excuse their support for him. Republican voters have become more likely to hold their own party accountable for the chaos in Washington. On Sept. 11, 32% of Republicans polled said they would blame their party most ifthe government were to shut down.

Jordan said earlier that voting would continue "until we get a speaker." He and his allies had hoped to wrap up the process by the end of the day to avoid a marathon of votes like those required to elect McCarthy in January. That election took 15 rounds of voting over four days before he was finally elected. The first order of House business as the 118th Congress convenes is the selection of a new speaker, but McCarthy is being stonewalled by a group of conservative hardliners. Because the GOP holds only a narrow majority, those hardliners hold more influence in the conference and have already denied McCarthy the votes necessary to secure the gavel on initial rounds of balloting.

"The one thing that's clear is he doesn't have the votes. And so at some point as a conference we'll have to figure out who does and so I think every member is having that thought process right now," Donalds told CNN's Jake Tapper. All 19 GOP lawmakers who voted against McCarthy in the first round voted for Jordan in the second round. “Beyond the 19 or so Republicans who voted for Jim Jordan, how many will vote for him on the third ballot? House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy said he is not giving up his fight for speaker despite the fact 19 Republican members voted against him. A warning sign for Kevin McCarthy – conservative supporter Rep. Ken Buck says he believes the House GOP leader will eventually lose more backing if the voting drags out. Jordan, a two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion and four-time state champion in high school, worked as an assistant wrestling coach from 1986 to 1994.

Trump, the ignorant, n’er-do-well heir to his father’s crooked fortune, has achieved so much more. Trump hasn’t just captured the trenches of conservative America, he has taken the commanding heights. He owns all of it, from the most racist backwater saloon to the Federalist Society clubhouse. If he can somehow get through the next few perilous months, he may yet render corruption sacred, and the republic irredeemable. Trump has already succeeded at corrupting much of what’s corruptible. Truckloads, boatloads, tiki-torch-parade-loads, courtloads of weak men all standing in the shadow that Trump casts.

Life Without Light: Creatures in the Dark With Sarah McAnulty

An MP has proposed a new law that aims to protect historic pubs like The Crooked House, once dubbed Britain's wonkiest inn. The proposed bill would require local authorities to maintain a register of Heritage Public Houses. Drone Surveying works primarily with many of the UK’s largest house builders to provide real-time models that track progress on their construction sites against the plans they are working to in order to avoid potentially costly errors or oversights.

Meanwhile, Charles learns about the complex relationships between Leonides family members. Aristide steered his descendants’ lives with a heavy hand, causing them to grow unhealthily codependent. All of them stand to gain financially from his death, so each has a reason to want him dead, but it’s soon discovered that Aristide duped them all into signing a fake will. Behind their backs, he left his entire fortune to Sophia, passing on his role as head of the family to her and forcing Charles to consider his fiancé as a suspect. Other irritating elements pervade “Crooked House,” such as sloppy editing and an obnoxious score, but the film’s greatest sin is that the actual mystery never gains urgency or weight.

It consists of examining the role of local governments, the temporary restriction on the sale of heritage pubs and how the purchasing of community assets can be assisted. Mr Longhi spoke at the House of Commons on Wednesday to bring in a bill which would require local councils to maintain a register of heritage pubs in their areas. Three Gables is a twisted and teetering building located in Swinly Dean, England. The overgrown cottage-style house is home to three generations of the Leonides family, including their wealthy patriarch, Aristide. An unscrupulous businessman who amassed his fortune through questionable practices, Aristide is enjoying his second marriage to Brenda, an attractive woman 50 years his junior. Though Brenda claims to love Aristide, the rest of the Leonides family thinks she is after his money.

Aristide had been the bullying and manipulative patriarch of the large and idiosyncratic Leonides family who all lived together on the family estate. He had died from a heart attack after his regular insulin injection – given by his wife Brenda – had been laced with eserine from his eye drops. Brenda is Aristide's second wife, a former casino dancer and much younger than her husband.

All the family members had motive and opportunity, none has an alibi; and each of them knew that Aristide's eye medicine was poisonous as he had told all the family after being asked by Josephine. According to the will, they all stand to gain a healthy bequest from the old man's estate. The servants do not get bequests but would lose their (increasing) annual wages or bonuses, so are not suspects. Edith de Haviland, Aristide's unmarried sister-in-law, is a brusque woman in her 70s who came to stay with him after his first wife's death to supervise his children's upbringing. Roger, the eldest son and Aristide's favourite, is a failure as a businessman.

He is spied upon by his pupil Josephine from her treehouse hideout. Get the latest news, events and more from the Los Angeles Times Book Club, and help us get L.A.

If you notice a marble rolling uphill at the Crooked House, you might start to think you’ve had one too many pints at this farmhouse-turned-pub. Thanks to subsidence as a result of mining in the 1800s, the left side of the pub sat a little over one meter (about four feet) lower than the right, giving way to some seriously trippy optical illusions to enjoy with your ale. Now certain that a killer is still at large at Three Gables, Charles warns Josephine that her life might be in danger. Edith interrupts their conversation to take her great-niece into town for a soda. Hours later, news arrives that her car has been found at the bottom of a cliff, both Edith and Josephine dead on impact.

His second wife is the indolent Brenda, decades his junior, suspected of having a clandestine love affair with Laurence, the grandchildren's tutor. After Aristide is poisoned by his own eye medicine (eserine), his granddaughter Sophia tells narrator and fiancé Charles Hayward that they cannot marry until the killer is apprehended. Charles's father, "The Old Man", is Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard, so Charles investigates from the inside along with assigned detective Chief Inspector Taverner. One is a suicide note addressed to the police at Scotland Yard, taking responsibility for both murders and clearing Brenda and Laurence’s names. The other, intended only for Charles and Sophia, reveals that Josephine is the true murderess.

Throughout the investigation, Charles is drawn in by 12-year-old Josephine. She is lacking in social graces, but she nevertheless charms him with her advanced intelligence and determination to involve herself in the investigation. Josephine is obsessed with detective novels, haughtily claiming that the police are stupid and that she already knows the identity of the murderer.
