The Republican Midterm dreams were dashed as the Red Wave collapsed into a wet fart, undecided races in just a handful of states could determine the fate of the Senate and House, ultimately the Congress could be split.

Ahead of a crucial midterm election President Joe Biden extended a pardon to more than 6,000 Federal offenders accused of simple possession of Marijuana. However shallow this gesture may be, it is nevertheless a good decision as even our geriatric Executive in the Oval Office recognizes the current state of our restrictions on Marijuana "make no sense", as the President also mused Marijuana was classified more strictly than fentanyl, or amphetamines which have been responsible for the deaths of thousands.
