In the News ...

Baseball: The Mets hopefully finally have a truly serious manager, a new stud pitcher (though I'm worried about his age), and a few nice new position players. But, there is the lockout, of which I basically have not paid much attention. I don't know if one side is worse than the other though this account is by a reporter/analyst usually on the ball.

Bipartisan Sanity? There appears to be some important agreement that will allow the Violence Against Women Act (without a controversial measure) to finally be renewed. Sen. Biden strongly pushed VAWA. Trump supports violence, against women and otherwise. His victory was a win for bullying and violence.

After the RNC's reading out of two House members who actually support investigating 1/6 strongly, there has been some pushback from certain Republicans. Graveyard Mitch has gone back to calling it an "insurrection." I'm for using that as far as we can, but I'm somewhat less positive than that link. Mitch still opposed conviction and said in the past he would support Trump if he was the candidate. Loopholes can be found.
