The Big News: The Permit To Purchase Bill cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee. Because of the cost, it heads to the Senate Finance Committee.

Song of the Day 4/27: Yoon Suk-yeol, “American Pie”
Joe Biden hosted a state dinner at the White House and, I guess because guest of honor Yoon Suk-yeol is president of South Korea, he turned into karaoke night.

Song of the Day 4/26: Harry Belafonte, “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)”

Be on the look out for a very pouty climate change fraud who resembles a sad rugby ball someone placed a wig on

New Highlands Bunker on Fox/Dominion Settlement – We shoulda seen it coming.
Look, Dominion is not in business to “save democracy”. Nobody is going to save democracy except you getting out to vote and getting your lazy family out to vote. That said, I’m only a 1/4 of the way in on this (no traffic this mornin’), so I can’t rate this on my patented scale of 1 to 5 Blumberg Excelsior yellow legal pads.
