Just more evidence that the Biden and Mayorkas impeachment crusades have been purely political exercises. The latest and hopefully final blow to the impeachment follies was delivered Wednesday. Two months after House Republicans made Mayorkas the first Cabinet member to be impeached in nearly 150 years, they finally sent the patently political charges to the Democratic-controlled Senate, which took just three hours to dismiss them.

California Architecture

Theodore Irwin, who like many other wealthy east-coast families, spent their winters in sunny Pasadena, fell in love with the house during a winter vacation and bought the house from Duncan. Irwin continued to expand the now two-story home into the signature Greene & Greene showstopper it is today. It's where friends and family gather for good food, exciting sporting events, live music, great conversations, and fun. Located in one of the oldest and most distinctive buildings in historic downtown Neenah, Greene’s Pour House is the Golden Fork Award Winner for Best Bar and Grill in the Fox Valley 5 years in a row.

Abcarian: MAGA Republicans pushing to impeach President Biden don’t seem to notice the egg on their faces

He would stay there until the two brothers departed to join their parents in Pasadena, California. Henry apprenticed first with the firm of Chamberlin & Austin and then briefly went to work with Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. All the firms the brothers worked for were located in Boston, Massachusetts.

The structure of the house is externalized, or exploded, rather than hidden in decoration. This extravagance of support takes its origins from the elaborate joinery and framing of traditional Japanese architecture. In 1905 the Greenes began an association with Peter Hall as the primary contractor for their major commissions, and from 1907 with his brother John Hall, who ran a millwork shop producing their decorative arts and furniture designs. After MIT in spring 1890, Charles apprenticed first with the firm of Andrews, Jaques and Rantoul; but after four and a half months, moved to the office of R. By March 1891, he had moved again to work with Herbert Langford Warren; and by the following November, he had changed again to the firm of Winslow and Wetherell.

There was actually very little Japanese influence upon their work until after Charles visited the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. Do note this bedroom is not included in the main house’s total of eight. The property was first owned by a local seamstress named Katherine Duncan who in 1901 purchased the lot, located at 240 North Grand Avenue in Pasadena, and had her cozy foursquare one-story cottage moved to the site from another part of town. Over the next five years, the brothers did a number of renovations and expansions of the house including adding six rooms and a second story.

The home is registered on the National Register of Historic Places and benefits from its inclusion on the Mills Act which provides tax breaks and other incentives to own a historic property. The residence now offers, in total, eight flexible bedrooms and bathrooms spread across the main house, garage, and guest house all flanked by decks, terraces, and a pool. It’s a one of a kind home and a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a Greene & Greene designed arts and crafts craftsman. The Gamble House will open the doors to its servants' hall and rooms for the first time in its history. The cloud lift is very prevalent in homes designed by the Greene brothers such as the Blacker House, Ranney House, Thorsen House as well as the Gamble House. The Gamble House being the most prolific example, with cloud lifts on the windows, walls, cabinetry, chairs, doors, fireplace, and even multiple examples in the light fixtures.

The house has a total of six (six!) fireplaces including this original brick fireplace in one of the home’s living rooms. By the time the Gamble House (1908) was built, the Greenes’ magnificent front door included a Pasadena oak tree, but abstracted to such a degree that the tree’s leaves are gingko leaves instead of oak leaves. The Gamble House front door is an excellent example of the organic shapes made possible with the cooper-foil technique of Tiffany and the use of layered glass. The door features iridescent glass on interior surfaces layered with opalescent glass on the exterior surfaces. McCarthy’s successor, Johnson, brought four bills to the House floor Saturday — three to provide vital military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and one to force a Chinese company to sell TikTok or cease operating in the United States. The bills passed overwhelmingly, with all but the Ukraine bill winning a majority of Republicans’ votes.

The standalone guest house has a separate entrance and is perfect for overnight guests, an in-law suite, or even a private office/writer’s retreat. This bedroom has an amazing wood beamed ceiling and outdoor courtyard access. One of the most iconic and well-known features of the design is the two-story central courtyard with a water feature that opens to a mezzanine above. The courtyard provides the rest of the home with ample natural light. It’s a lovely spot for entertaining in a home that has many spots to entertain. Needless to say, original hardwood floors can be found throughout the house.

To become speaker last year, Kevin McCarthy agreed to a change in the rules that makes it possible for a single representative to move to “vacate the chair” — that is, trigger a vote on whether to depose the speaker. That’s what happened last year after McCarthy avoided a default on the national debt, kept the government open and committed other alleged outrages. No, the difference is largely over tactics, rhetoric and psychology. One faction, comprising an overwhelming majority of the House GOP caucus, is interested in accomplishing the possible.

Active primarily in California, their houses and larger-scale ultimate bungalows are prime exemplars of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. But MAGA Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio said Democrats “will come to regret” dismissing the Mayorkas impeachment articles, when a Republican-run Senate someday does the same to impeachment articles from a Democratic-majority House. Democrats take governing too earnestly to impeach a Republican on such overtly political grounds as those against Mayorkas. The Gamble House in Pasadena, California, is an outstanding example of American Arts and Crafts style architecture.

First, few Republicans — including some who oppose Johnson — want to be seen following the lead of the House’s most notorious cranks and bigots. Second, Trump doesn’t want the Republican caucus to turn into an embarrassing circular firing squad while he is running for president. (It’s remarkable that Trump is worried that other Republicans will make him look bad.) Third, Democrats have signaled that they will help Johnson keep his job after he courageously did the right thing. And finally, no one appears to want Johnson’s job who could also get the job. In other words, the Republican firebrands, who think the worst sin imaginable is to work with Democrats, voted with Democrats to oust their leader. House Republicans have all but folded the Big Top on the Biden impeachment circus.

The other is more interested in aiming for the impossible and then complaining about falling short. For the last few years, congressional Republicans have been split into factions that are not ideological in the traditional sense. Pick nearly any standard domestic policy issue — abortion, gun rights, taxes, immigration — and you won’t see much evidence of the schism. Even (public) support for Donald Trump doesn’t delineate the divide.
