Georgia congressman introduces bill to rename DCโ€™s Black Lives Matter Plaza - WTOP News A member of Congress from Georgia has introduced legislation demanding D.C.โ€™s mayor rename Black Lives Matter Plaza, or risk losing federal funding.

"BLM is a defund the police group. We are not a defund the police nation" the author of this bill says. Then why is the executive branch dismantling the FBI and DOJ? The FBI HQ is on the list of local buildings that Trump wants to shut down. DOJ HQ is also.

On installing an interim director for the Kennedy Center:

โ€œRic [Richard Grenell] shares my Vision for a GOLDEN AGE of American Arts and Culture, and will be overseeing the daily operations of the Center [and will not host] drag shows, or other anti-American propaganda.โ€

โ€œSo we took over the Kennedy Center. We didnโ€™t like what they were showing and various other things. But we have, I guess, a whole new group of people going in. ... Iโ€™m going to be chairman of it, and weโ€™re going to make sure that itโ€™s good and itโ€™s not going to be woke.โ€

Guess who?

Police still haven't cracked who stole 100,000 eggs from a company in Pennsylvania The theft was reported Saturday night of 100,000 organic eggs worth more than $40,000 from a distribution trailer in south-central Pennsylvania.

Movies usually depict people in post-apocalyptic worlds fighting and stealing and killing over gasoline or breathable air or whatever... never thought it would be eggs.... this isn't the only incident like this....

Trump announces plans to gut the Kennedy Center board and appoint himself chairman - WTOP News President Donald Trump announced an aggressive plan Friday evening to gut the existing board of trustees at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and oust its chairman.

In reality, he doesn't care about cultural things or the performing arts. He's wanted to end the national endowments for arts and humanities, for instance, and he never attended any KC Honors. He just wants to stop the Kennedy Center from doing any more drag shows

USDA inspector general didn't order 'mass extermination' of birds to drive up cost of poultry, eggs Although it is standard procedure to kill flocks with the outbreak of bird flu, posts on social media twisted the truth.

Naturally there are "deep state" conspiracy theories about the avian flu, like this one described by Snopes. It's only a matter of time before he claims the avian flu pandemic was fabricated to drive up egg prices to make him look bad (you know who I'm talking about)
