The first shelter dog in the White House didn’t stay there too long: Major, the younger of the Bidens’ German Shepherds, was banished to Delaware after nipping a Secret Service agent, and Champ had to go with him. I think Marjor deserves a pardon — he probably smelled Trump on the guy. Face of the […]
Song of the Day 3/10: Randy Rainbow, “Mr. Biden (Bring My Vaccine)”

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, March 10, 2021
The Minimum Wage Bill has been introduced. Glad to see that all three of our elected officials in my RD (Larry Lambert, Kyle Evans Gay, and Sarah McBride) are on the bill. If your legislators aren’t on the bill as sponsors, you know what to do. The bill has correctly been assigned to the Senate […]

Point: Bernie Sanders’s primary campaigns have moved the Democratic Party to the left. For evidence of that, just look at how the American Rescue Plan utterly ignored the Beltway’s fetish for bipartisanship and delivered big, clear gains to the American people, like cutting the child poverty rate in half. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com Counter Point: As a pro-family […]
Trump wants all the donations
This thrills me to no end. Trump will not stop until the GOP has been picked clean. And it was all perfectly avoidable.
Song of the Day 3/9: Booker T. and the MGs, “Time Is Tight”
Released as a single in 1968, this instrumental jam, credited to all four members of the legendary Stax house band, became the second-biggest hit of their headlining career, peaking at No. 6. It’s easy to hear why –Duck Dunn lays down a chooglin’ bass groove and Booker T. Jones plays his Hammond B-3 like a […]

The House will not officially reconvene until Thursday. However, House committees will meet both today and tomorrow. The Senate will convene today.

Theory of Holy Moderation and Exalted Centrism ™ to be tested
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Monsanto) has no interest in having his ass kicked by whoever the Trump cult runs against him in 2022’s primary. Under the theory of Holy Moderation and Exalted Centrism ™ Blunt’s Missouri seat should go to a Democrat, when voters find the GOP has nominated a “radical” who is “out of step” with the common sense moderation of Show Me State voters. Right? Right, Chris Coons? Right? Dems have a real shot here, right?
Anybody have national polling numbers for Ted Cruz?

Coons called out for his “despicable and unacceptable” vote. Meanwhile, Tio Bernie says, “if any senator believes this is the last time they will cast a vote on whether or not to give a raise to 32 million Americans, they are sorely mistaken.” So Coons will have another shot to vote like the big follower of Jesus Christ he claims to be. Via Common Dreams: Shameful-Millionaire Senators Vote Against Popular Minimum Wage
Derek Chauvin, Murder of George Floyd, goes on trial this week At trial, prosecutors will argue Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck for roughly nine minutes—including nearly three minutes in which Floyd was unresponsive.

Happy National Women’s Day!
Song of the Day 3/7: Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, “The Money Song”
Man, all this agitation for raising the minimum wage to a level a person could live has been going on forever, hasn’t it?
