The House passed another historic milestone with Thursday's chaos in the Capitol – holding its 10th vote for speaker for the first time since 1859, with no clear path to resolution for Kevin McCarthy yet.
It was yet another throwback to fractious earlier years in the republic – and in particular to a 19th Century filled with angry political clashes in Congress in the run-up to the Civil War.
The last race to go this long was the 1859 contest that resulted in the election of Speaker William Pennington of New Jersey.
But that didn't happen until the 44th ballot – as the Republican moderate was joined by northern Democrats who were disaffected from the Buchanan administration. (McCarthy extended his losses to an 11th vote Thursday evening).

10 Tribes
Cimmerians
It's almost an hour long but there's a lot of good information. Around 33 minutes in goes into the tribes, Egyptian style burial mounds and perfectly preserved relics from the tribes. The Black Sea rose to the present level ONLY 2 THOUSAND YEARS AGO.. Wooly Mammoths were documented as walking the Earth 2,000 years ago.
The Ice Age was a very long process that continued thru 1500 BC.
Thracians (see Tiras) lived around the Black Sea, Cimmerians, Phoenicians.
The climate was as described in Genesis, much wetter and generally cloudy humid and perfect for lush greenery.
Helps explain why the Huns, wave and after wave and all the others, Goths etal. Their lush green fields went desert so they decided to take to the road and take take take, for survival. The Earthquakes, the volcanos were hot hot hot. That flame by day Moses followed? A volcanic eruption…
