I do get a kick out of Senator JD Vance howling with indignation that folks on the left need to dial down the divisive rhetoric as if we're all unaware who his running mate is. As a matter of fact, before my day got away from me yesterday, I'd planned to splice together a batch of clips of one Donald John Trump and his many years of heated rancor. Fortunately, the Daily Show has a staff capable of doing that while I'm just a staff of one.

There's plenty of coverage pre-January 6th that we could (and do) go back to ... or just last year with Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg having to hire private security (wonder why?)

Quietly, and without much fanfare, the three Atlanta Solidarity Fund organizers who had money laundering charges up to their eyeballs were let off the hook by the Georgia Attorney General for all bout one charge. Meanwhile, protestors have a lot of balls - ping pong balls - to drop on city council for their inaction on the ballot measure more than 100,000 residents signed a petition for.

Lastly, we now know The Fed lowered their prime rate by a whopping 0.5% - more than I and most experts expected - but good news for just about all of us not named Donald Trump.
