Greetings. I am a voting constituent in rural west Texas.
Glorious outside. I’m looking forward to getting out of the house after several days of frigid confinement. Confinement which results in over-immersion in headlines.
Some of the best…paraphrased of course.
Mike Pence finally decides it’s safe to tell the truth about overturning the 2020 election. He can read the tea leaves too.
Of course Mr. Trump retorted with his same sad stale adolescent ‘yeah and your mother’s ugly’ taunts. Yawn.
The RNC decided that the January 6 assault on the Capitol, and the ensuing death, was just “ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.” While at the same time excoriating two of their Congress members who dared to say otherwise.
Steve Bannon is trying hard to keep the attention off his own actions in it all. As many more folks show up to tell their side of that day’s events, he seems worried.
On his podcast, Bannon addressed Pence, saying: “You are a stone cold coward…. My head’s blowing up.... I can’t take Pence…and Marc Short and all these Koch guys up there ratting out Trump up on Capitol Hill right now.”
As one astute observer pointed out…”ratting him out for what?”
I think we’re gonna find out.
Lastly, in case you missed it, the January jobs report showed the U.S. added 467,000 jobs. With more than 6.6 million jobs since Biden took office, 2021 under Biden created more jobs than any other year in history.
The jobs report also revised the numbers for November and December upward by more than 700,000. The first 12 months of Biden’s presidency mark the best job creation on record. The unemployment rate is at 4.0%.
Not bad. But I expect you’ll do your best to make it seem so.
