It is Friday.The biggest news of the day is the indictment of Trump stooge Steve Bannon.The Biden administration has logged a victory in passing at least the first half of an infrastructure bill. You would be hard-pressed to realize this if you only read the “liberal” media. As vaccines for the younger ones in our society roll out, and a bill that might actually help Americans of all age groups moves through our virtually stagnant legislature, the GOP continues to promote the one thing they know how to promote: make-em-up culture wars—free of facts and context. Oh yeah, something happened with Steve Bannon.
