1) The spooge-o-matic masquerading as a judge in New York, Juan Merchan, will do his little sentencing dance on January 10, suggesting he may go with a sentence of "unconditional discharge," in which theoretically the sentence could be brought back in four years---but also which opens the entire case up for appeal. Here is a longer assessment of this weak move.

2) Cackles had to certify President Trump as the winner of the election, but Rutabaga is going to keep U.S. flags at half staff for the deceased Jesus Carter during the Trump inauguration. Anything this slimy toad-rodent can do to possibly slight President Trump. Case in point: he gave the Medal of Freedom to two of the biggest chodesmokers in the world, Cankles and George Soros.

3) President Trump and Speaker Johnson say they will have one big reconciliation bill that will encompass the entire Trump agenda by Memorial Day.

4) Trump has added a J6 Patriot Day lawyer defender to Susie Wiles' staff. Meanwhile, she gave an interview to Axios showing she won't tolerate anyone getting in the way of the Trump agenda.

5) Now Apple's Tim Cook will make a $1 million donation to the Trump inaugural committee. Overall, Trump has reeled in over $200 million for the inauguration, more than in 2017.

6) Two years after making it easier to remove the Speaker---with not great results---Republicans have gone back to making it harder.

7) New police applicant numbers have fallen 55% in New Kabul (NYC).
