To Our Ears
If guns laws in Washington, D.C. weren't as strict as
they are I honestly think we'd have Trump as dictator
right now. Once Trump's mob started shooting
up the Capitol Trump would have instated the Insurrection
Act
and then
it'd be all over for our little Republic.
How restrictive are the DC gun laws? How about firearm
registration, no open carry, severely restrictive concealed
carry,
no magazines larger than ten rounds, background checks,
online training,
no automatics or silencers, ten day waiting period and
red flag laws.
Congress doesn't need to write a brand new gun control
bill. They need look no further than out their front
door.

The oil companies are intentionally damaging
this country's economy by gouging us all with high fuel
prices.
That's
empircally true..
But we can fight back and win against them.
All we have to do is drive slower. All of us. This would
increase gas mileage and result in a decrease in
fuel usage causing another glut, at which point prices
would
have
to drop. (Under normal circumstances, but these are not
normal times and the abnormal Republican Party has no
interest in furthering windfall tax legislation.)
It really is that easy. But it really is that hard,
too, because we live in a country of the Heavy Foot people.
The Biden administration should begin saturating
the media with PSA's on saving gas. Maybe it might just
lighten
a few tootsies.

Of the many responses by pundits on the January 6th hearings
my favorite so far is Stephen Colbert who said:
"[Ivanka's
testimony that she believed that her father did not win
the election] was bitter-sweet for The Former Guy. She
finally screwed him."
-----------------
One last thing..... I appreciate Liz Cheney's job on
the January 6th committee so far but she's Dick's child
so I trust her, to quote Douglas Adams, "About as
far as I can comfortably spit out a rat."
My view is that she sees Trump as an impediment to her
White House journey. Never forget that she voted with
Trump 92% of the time and put his three quislings on
the Supreme
Court, which why she's begun to court the Independent
vote by acting all nobly bipartisan. Yes, her actions
will lose the
MAGA crowd but the GOP is about power and they'll be
happy to back anyone with adequate polling figures and
an "R" after
their name.
