Daily Variety reports ABC's Women of the View is number one in the ratings of daytime network talk shows drawing two and a half million viewers a day. I'd advise Trump to beware of them. In my dating career, I learned you can tell a lot about a woman by the way she pours gasoline around your car.

House Democrats continued staging a rally a day outside the U.S. Capitol Friday to oppose what they call the unconstitutional budget cuts by DOGE engineers. Some of the cuts hurt. I admit it got personal for me when Elon Musk cut off all benefits and Social Security payments to Civil War veterans.

President Trump telephoned the Team USA hockey team in the locker room in Boston Thursday before the title game that night with Team Canada. I don't want to say the stakes were high but President Trump lost his bet on the game with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The winner gets Canada.

Team Canada beat Team USA 3-2 in overtime on Thursday in the Four Nations Faceoff finals, in a rivalry that goes back to the War of 1812. The first time Canada defeated the United States they burned the White House and freed 5,000 slaves. To this day, the U.S. tells itself the game ended in a tie.

President Trump celebrated Black History Month Thursday and he thanked black voters for their support in the election. He really grew on black male voters. Trump had so many court appearances and dodged so many bullets during the campaign he was voted Newcomer of the Year at the Hip Hop Awards.

JD Vance told CPAC that DEI is dead and Americans have free speech again. It should be okay to joke about stereotypes, because by and large they are true. Last night while I was getting cash, the ATM audio asked me in what denomination and I said Episcopalian, and out came two free drink tickets.

Senator Rand Paul vowed to continue having the Senate investigate Dr. Fauci's controversial role during the 2020 pandemic. His connection to the Wuhan lab as well as to the pharmaceutical industry raised eyebrows. I still miss that part of 2020 when it was illegal for anybody to come near me.

The Weather Channel reports the Polar Vortex has spread zero-degree temperatures and icy road conditions across the nation. An egg truck spun out and crashed on an icy Interstate near Joplin Monday, spilling thousands of eggs onto the freeway. Several drivers were injured fighting over the eggs.

The U.S. National Hockey Team hosted the Canadian Nation Hockey Team last night in Boston for the final game of the Four Nations Face Off Championship series. The sport is an acquired taste for most Americans. Hockey is a lot more fun if you pretend everyone is fighting over the last Oreo.

House and Senate Democrats took turns ripping Elon Musk and DOGE engineers for slashing government programs without congressional consultation. It's getting heartless. DOGE has begun canceling Social Security payments to the most vulnerable people in our society, those over 150 years old.

Elon Musk's DOGE engineers continued uncovering massive fraud in Social Security payments Tuesday. It's so blatant. Fraudulent recipients of Social Security checks include Vladimir Zelensky, who seems to have his hand in everything, and Barack Obama who wasn't even born in the United States.

Disney scrapped its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program in light of the conservative backlash against DEI. White actors will again play medieval English monarchs. Also, at Disney World, all the robot presidents exhibited in the Hall of Presidents will be programmed to do the Trump Dance together.

The Transportation Department gave assurances to travelers regarding air safety Monday. Take heart. Despite all the near misses in the air, airliners crashing into helicopters and landing upside down on runways, the FAA wants you to know that air travel is still safer than sitting in a U.S. classroom.

The Department of Transportation slapped down New York Governor Kathy Hochul's plan to slap a nine-dollar cover charge on all cars entering Manhattan. It was a nice try. You hate Mexico's drug cartels, but the way they charge people to enter the U.S. gave the governor of New York a great idea.

President Trump upset the Establishment in Washington Wednesday by bypassing Ukraine and choosing to deal directly with Putin to get a peace deal. It threw defense lobbyists into panic. Senate Neo-Cons warn that Trump's efforts to end the Ukraine War could result in the end of the Ukraine War.

President Trump punched back at Ukraine President Zelensky hard Wednesday, dismissing him as a moderately successful comedian. I get it now. He must have been a comedian who entertained crowds with song parodies because they're the only comedians who deserve to be invaded and destroyed.

The CIA revealed Monday the agency has initiated covert spy action against the Mexican drug cartels. However the agency incited the ire of the Mexican people to be flying surveillance drones over Mexico. It's not enough that the CIA spies on Americans, they're now spying on future Americans.
