“The best anchorwoman I ever worked with was Donna Britt,” said George Sells, her co-anchor from 1988 to 2012. “I’m talking about aggressiveness, ability to dig out a story on the telephone when nobody wanted to give it to us. … She could write.”theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…

Based on new rules, this Republican congressman from Arizona will be fined $5000 for blowing past the metal detectors in the United States Capitol that are meant to check for weapons.

Can you imagine what would happen if you did that?
Congresswoman @laurenboebert did it too, according to @GarrettHaake

Guy who wouldn't give name: “It’s just a thing we do…”
Me: “Are you anti-govt?”
I mean, not exactly. We don’t like the massive over-reaches of a lot branches of our government today.
Me: Are you far right?
Him: No.
Me: Are you extremists?
Him: No...
