“The country is in very good shape, other than if you look South and West,” Trump said at the White House. That’s about it. Peter Baker summarizes The Current Situation right HERE.

All you really need to know about Tony Fauci,” one of his acquaintances told The Post’s Molly Roberts, “is that, at five-foot, seven-inches, he was the captain of his high school basketball team.”

HAVE YOU TRIED THE JERK CHICKEN PLACE ON WABASH? They’re only open Tuesday, Friday and Saturday but they’re worth marking your calendar for. The food is unbelievable. In the old Rita’s at 427 W Harris, phone 407 0586, close at 7pm. WE’ve tried the jerk chicken, which is wonderful , as is the curry goat and the calves; foot which is a lot better than it sounds. Try this place- you won’t be disappointed!

In other food news, Southside Mike’s beloved Mothership has been vandalized TWICE while parked at the Arcata Foodworks. He’s looking for a safe place and I’d offer my backyard but I don’t have hookups. Can anyone help?

And in the New York Times, the Republicans are speaking up. Sen Ben Sasse said ‘I want more briefings but, more importantly, I want the whole White House to start acting like a team on a mission to tackle a real problem,’ Mr. Sasse said. ‘Navarro’s Larry, Moe and Curly junior-high slap fight this week is yet another way to undermine public confidence that these guys grasp that tens of thousands of Americans have died and tens of millions are out of work.’ Senator Roy Blunt, Republican of Missouri, was more succinct: ‘The more they turn the briefings over to the professionals, the better.’”

We’ve commented before this about Sec/State’s Mike Pompeo’s bringing his wife to work with him. He’s still at it. Read about it HERE. And if you want something to keep you up at night, try this from the WAPO about Trump’s post-election plans. Right HERE. And if you want something to tickle your imagination, imagine the tales ready to be told by Michael Cohen, right HERE.

And here’s the daily mental status check of our Fake President, right HERE.

So here we are with Our Fake President trying his best to start confrontations in Democratically led cities, while millions of Americans are losing what little income they had. And John Lewis is dead. We could have used him so much longer.
