• California lawmakers in Sacramento are reported to be devising a new surcharge tax on accumulated wealth that would also be charged to California residents who decide to flee the state. Let me get this straight, they mess with you, they drive you out, now they want you to pay. That's not a tax, that's alimony.
• The FBI search for classified documents reached vice presidential level with Mike Pence and Joe Biden when he was VP. They searched Dick Cheney's house for secret documents. All they found was a note from Hillary asking Cheney how you shoot someone in the face and make it look like an accident.
• The NFL playoffs scored huge TV ratings for the Fox Network and CBS Sunday. The day before, a policeman walked over to my car in the grocery store parking lot and told me I'd just parked in the handicap spot. I told him the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl, and he apologized for bothering me.
• The Miami Herald reports that NASA's legendary astronaut and the second man to step foot on the moon Buzz Aldrin got married to a much younger woman Saturday on the very day of his ninety-third birthday. The ceremony took place in a chapel in South Florida. The bride wore black, just in case.
• Evangeline's Restaurant in Austin won a survey asking Texans who makes the best chicken fried steak in the Lone Star State. I downloaded the restaurant's recipe instructions for making the thickest, tastiest crust and I added six eggs to the batter. I'm never going to recover financially from this.
• The Reagan Library this week showcases Nancy Reagan's War on Drugs in the ‘80s. They replay a commercial that showed an egg frying on a skillet on a gas stove and said this is your brain on drugs. Today the egg is too expensive, the gas stove will be banned and the only thing you can get are the drugs.
• President Biden's approval stayed at forty percent Monday, same as it was before the documents scandal broke. No one's heard about it. I think the only way the media is going to cover the scandal about the misplacing of the classified documents is if they are discovered inside George Santos's bustier.
• President Biden in California Thursday denied all wrongdoing in the mishandling of classified documents. Biden's presidency is reeling from the discovery of three sets of top secret papers stored illegally at three locations. The Washington, D.C., establishment agrees it's time to impeach Trump again.
• FBI agent Charlie McGonigal was arrested for spying for Russia Sunday. He was the FBI guy in charge of investigating Trump for Russian collusion and he turned out to be a Russian spy. Trump should forget about running for a second term and go to the PGA and demand a Mulligan for his first term.
• A European Union official at Davos warned Elon Musk Twitter will be heavily fined if it allows the breach of the EU's definition of permitted speech. I know where she's coming from. Government officials all over the world want a song written about them, but nobody wants a joke written about them.
• Senator Chuck Schumer blamed a mass shooting at an L.A. Chinese New Year's celebration on a white supremacist when the shooter turned out to be an Asian American man. He was seventy-two years old. As a result the Democrats want to ban guns and the Republicans want to ban Social Security.
• NBC's Meet the Press interviewed the Mayor of New Orleans and asked why her city just replaced Chicago as the U.S. murder capital, and the mayor blamed it on Covid. That's interesting. I guess the warning label on the vaccine should read that possible side effects include myocarditis and trigger finger.
• Russian lawmakers speaking in their Parliament warned Monday if the West supplies offensive weapons to Ukraine, world war may result. I actually met Putin at a White House reception in 2001 and I found he has a great sense of humor. At one point I made him laugh so hard he promised to kill me last.
