First some good news:  The United States Covid Death Toll yesterday was 1,517,   Significantly better than the 5000+ posted one day last week and continuing yesterday’s 1,300+ drop in fatalities.

If you are interested in following the Impeachment, the Oral Arguments will begin at 1:00 today for 4 hours.

Tomorrow a 16 hour debate begins.

I await the wrap-up of this particular puppet show so we can get back to the usual business of watching the Democrats manage to lose the next election while pretending that they care about what we care about and at the same time achieving so little that the GOP can win back control.

If you think this is too cynical I wonder where you were in 2010.

Good morning all.  We have a rare non-snowy day in NYC this morning so I’m headed out to re-stock.

I congratulate Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Scott and @USProgressives for including a $15 minimum wage in the House reconciliation bill. In 2021, a job should lift workers out of poverty, not keep them in it. Increasing the minimum wage will give tens of millions of workers a raise. https://t.co/19CkngNsN6
