#3 Plugs will be signing more EO's soon. I suspect a few may be VERY unpopular with gun owners.

#4 ...I was hoping that the January 6th riot - misbegotten as it was - would have put the fear of God into Congress.

It did, all right. Just in the wrong direction.

#6 Questions about video games are actually politically relevant to some extent:

"Video games can be useful in slowing onslaught of dementia. Study finds dementia delay higher among ‘exergamers’ than those who just exercise."

#8 Blast from the bad weather past:
2007:

Over the weekend, tornadoes touched down in six southwest Kansas counties, devastating the small town of Greensburg. At least eight people died and a Greensburg administrator “estimated that 95 percent of the town of 1500 was destroyed by Friday’s tornado.”

This morning on CNN, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D) said that the state is missing vital National Guard equipment because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Usually the state has approximately 70–80 percent of its equipment at any given time, but it currently has just 40–50 percent. She added that these shortages “will just make it [recovery] that much slower.”

No they're not. The NG is on site without loaded weapons or ammo within reach. They're scarecrows. I'm surprised some of the 'locals' haven't drawn a loaded gun and added some weapons to their collection.
