LOL. Not really. Just being click-baity.
Biden is set to sign into law the infrastructure bill. That's a good thing.
Hobo Steve Bannon was taken into custody today by the feds for defying a congressional subpoena. I bet they find midget clown pr0n on his hard drives.
Just a wild guess.

9-year-old boy dies after Astroworld festival crush
A 9-year-old boy has become the youngest person to die from injuries sustained during a crowd surge at the Astroworld music festival in Houston, United States.
Ezra Blount of Dallas died Sunday at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, family attorney Ben Crump said.
Ezra was placed in a medically-induced coma after suffering severe injuries in the November 5 crush of fans during a performance by the festival’s headliner, rapper Travis Scott. He is the 10th person who attended the festival to die.
Treston Blount, Ezra’s father, described what happened November 5 in a post on a GoFundMe page that he set up to help defray Ezra’s medical expenses.
He said Ezra was sitting on his shoulders when a crowd surge crushed them. The father lost consciousness, and when he came to, Ezra was missing, Blount said. A frantic search ensued until Ezra was eventually found at the hospital, severely injured.
The child incurred severe damage to his brain, kidney, and liver after being “kicked, stepped on, and trampled, and nearly crushed to death,” according to a lawsuit his family has filed against Scott and the event’s organizer, Live Nation.
The Blount family is seeking at least $1m in damages.
The others who died ranged in age from 14 to 27. Some 300 people were treated at the festival site, and 13 were hospitalised.
If you have the means, please donate to his family's GoFundMe page.
