EVs: [1:52] – It seems those darn batteries won’t charge when it’s below zero. Not the Bee says, “If you’ve got, say, little kids and you’re wondering if your battery will die and you’ll freeze to death in a ditch on the way to grandma’s house? Yeah, the gas-guzzling SUV is gonna get my vote.”

ARIZONA: America has sunk into such depths of depravity. This happened on the day we all celebrated Rev. Martin Luther “content of their character” King, Jr.

IRAN: On January 12, 2024, FAUXTUS said, “I’ve already delivered the message to Iran. They know not to do anything.” CLICK https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1745915639724687454 [:25].

On January 15, 2024, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps lobbed ballistic missiles at our consulate in Erbil, Iraq, which they said is the “headquarters of spies” and “anti-Iranian terrorist gatherings in parts of the region.

Apparently, they have bad aim since no US facilities were impacted. Four people were killed, and six were injured in the attack, but none of them were Americans.

MSNBC: In response to Trump’s win in Iowa, Joy Reid complained that the state is “overrepresented by white Christians” who are racists who want minorities to bow down to them.

Rachel Maddow explained why they were not airing Trump’s victory speech live. “We and other news organizations have generally stopped giving an unfiltered live platform to remarks made by former President Donald Trump” because he says “untrue things” and his followers are fascists.

GRAMMY NOTES: Back when I was a school bus driver, I paid extra every month to have a reserved parking space in the apartment’s covered carport area. It saved me having to scrape off the car on the mornings when I had to get up at zero dark thirty to go haul kids to school. One wintry night, I finally got home at 11 pm after a grueling 19 hour day doing multiple school runs, followed by an away game. Since I had to be up again at 6 am to do it all over again, I hope you can imagine (and forgive) my utter wrath at discovering that whoever had done the plowing and/or snow blowing in the parking area had FILLED my parking spot with snow! When I went to the super to complain, he tried to hand me a snow shovel. I’m only 5’4”, so was not much of a threat to the linebacker-built super. But I kinda think there may have been actual flames coming out my ears. It was not my finest “turn the other cheek” hour, but at least nobody every filled my parking space with snow again.
