Online headline: "Paul Ryan urges GOP to reject Trump and '2nd-rate imitations'" -- Good grief! Who is Paul Ryan to know what the current Republican Party's strength is? As Willard "Ratt" Romney's running mate, Ryan had his butt handed to him in the VP debate with JoKKKe Biden, and in the General Election, his home state of Wisconsin preferred Obama-Biden to Ratt/Ryan by 7 percentage points. Oh! and in 2020, Trump/Pence got 22% more popular votes than Ratt/Ryan did in 2012. Also, let's not forget it was Speaker Ryan who captained the massacre of the House's Republican majority in 2018.

If you haven't noticed the cost of gas, just watch the meter run. Filled up Friday...and noticed how much slower the gallons/dollars "meters" were turning... I guess with gasoline so much higher now, that the "dollar display" would be a blur if running at the same pace the "gallon meter" ran when gas was cheaper.

Prez JoKKKe Biden just shut down the State Department investigation of the Wuhan Lab while he's opening one in our intelligence community. On the surface, it seems to throw out 12+ months of files and evidence ...but there's another reason. Once the State Department finished its investigation, the State Department would be required to PUBLISH/POST its findings. On the the other hand, none of our intelligence agencies have to post anything public.

That's still on a schedule of 89 or 90 for the year compared with 46 last year.,,, and we still haven't gotten through the "sweltering summer months" or the Thanksgiving-New Years' Eve" seasons.
