Good morning, and welcome to RedState's "Morning Minute" — a brief glimpse at which stories are trending at the moment and a look ahead at what the day may bring. Consider this your one-stop shop for news to kickstart your day.
TOP O' THE MORNIN'
As I suggested earlier, any objective and reasonably intelligent person would immediately realize that The Bee headline was satire. And remember, the closer to reality satire is, or any form of comedy, the funnier it is. Hence, this Bee Sting really stung the left.
Are You Better Off Than You Were 4 Years Ago? Out-of-Touch Whoopi Thinks That's a 'Stupid Question.'
Oopsie, Whoopi, that's what's really got in your craw because you will manically support Biden despite all the evidence that he's been an absolute disaster on so many levels.
BREAKING: Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Motions to Dismiss Tax Charges
In short, Scarsi appears singularly unimpressed by the arguments proffered by Biden's legal team. The federal tax case against Hunter Biden will proceed. Currently, it is set for trial on June 20, 2024.
WHAT'S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill...
Still quiet up on the Hill, so don't expect a ton of noise from the Congress critters on Tuesday. We did learn that a new and improved Taiwan-Israel-Ukraine funding "product" is in the works and expected to be taken up upon their return from Easter Recess.
White House What's Up
There's currently nothing listed on President Joe Biden's Tuesday schedule. Perhaps he's tuckered out from the Oyster Egg Roll?
Biden Breaks Out More Confusion and a New Name for Easter Bunnies, Sneaks in Sniff of a Child
Full Court Press...
No oral arguments at the Supreme Court this week. A few court-related developments emerged late Monday evening:
BREAKING: Trump Posts $175 Million Bond to Proceed With Appeal in NY Civil Fraud Case
BREAKING: Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Motions to Dismiss Tax Charges
Trump’s gag order in hush money case expanded to include judge’s family
Of Primary Concern
There are presidential primaries on Tuesday in Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. We'll, of course, bring you the live results of those contests Tuesday evening.
MORNING MUSING
It's Spring in the Midwest. That means thunderstorms and tornado watches (and sometimes warnings) — which I'm simultaneously fascinated by and terrified of. "Twister" is one of my all-time favorite movies — definitely one of those I'll stop and watch when I run across it. When the warnings start hitting (as they did Monday evening), I'm glued to my radar app. What did we do before radar apps? Just rely on the local weather guys on TV? That's Daisy's go-to.
