TOP O' THE MORNIN'
Thanks, Grandpa Joe. Thank you for this gift — this marvelous mess you've left us with. You've just given us all a lot to think about over the next few election cycles.
Jane Fonda Squirms As Bill Maher Puts Her on the Spot Over Craziness of Far Left
That's just not living in reality — and that's the real problem with leftists. They just refuse delivery on the reality that they don't like.
Democrats are always seemingly siding with criminals. Bowman is no different. That kind of ridiculous behavior is what led to him and Bush being soundly defeated in their primaries.
WHAT'S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill...
They're ba-ack. Only a couple of meetings set for Tuesday:
- Senate Intelligence (Select) — "To receive a closed briefing on certain intelligence matters."
- House Rules — H.R. 5349 – Crucial Communism Teaching Act; H.R. 7198 – Prove It Act of 2024
White House What's Up
While son Hunter basks in the glow of his very special presidential pardon, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill are in Angola. On Tuesday, the president will attend an official arrival ceremony at the Presidential Palace late morning before participating in a bilateral meeting with Angolan President João Lourenço. Biden is set to deliver remarks on the U.S.-Angolan relationship at the National Museum of Slavery in the later afternoon.
Full Court Press...
The Daniel Penny trial is close to wrapping as the prosecution should finish up giving its closing argument on Tuesday, and then the case will be submitted to the jury.
There could theoretically be a ruling from the New York appellate court on President-elect Donald Trump's civil fraud appeal today, but again, don't hold your breath on that.
There's one case set for oral argument before the Supreme Court on Wednesday:
Hungary v. Simon — This one has to do with the comingling of assets and the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
MORNING MUSING
Okay — we've had snow on the ground for four days, and I'm already over winter. I grow increasingly less tolerant of the cold and the snow and ice with each passing year. And now I'm at that stage in life where I have to worry about walking the dog so that she doesn't pull on the leash just as my foot finds a patch of ice. (Yes, yes, she needs better training. That's a work in progress.) I do enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas and a good Hallmark movie, but I think I could enjoy those things just as much in warmer climes.
LIGHTER FARE
He looks so happy!
