"Exclusive – Ted Cruz Amendment Would Block Stimulus Checks for Illegal Aliens in Coronavirus Package"
Thank you @tedcruz! Hopefully this will also be adopted, as was a similar amendment. tinyurl.com/ycbxk5oc
Side notes: I do NOT want to see this bill passed at all, but if the Senate's modifications are not accepted by the House, then it will die right then & there, and they'll have to start all over again, hopefully with a real relief bill, not a Dem wishlist bill posing as "relief".
🚨Breaking - from the Trending side bar, the $15 minimum wage hike provision failed in the Senate, with 8 Dems voting with R's against it.
The 8 Dems who had a stroke of sanity are:
Joe Machin (WV)
Jon Tester (MT)
Jeanne Shaheen (NH)
Maggie Hassan (NH)
Angus King (ME)
Kyrsten Sinema (AZ)
Tom Carper (DE)
Chris Coons (DE)
And the Left is losing their collective minds over it.

Typos. I make them, and I hate 'em. Since I use my laptop, I can't blame ol' autocorrect. Like Daffy likes to say, "IT'S MINE! ALL MINE!!!".
Here's one reason why I hate typos. Say I wanted to tweet about cookies, and how good they taste, cuz just about everyone likes cookies, right?
Well, that tweet would look a *whole* lot different if I typed an "L", instead of a "K" and didn't see it until *after* I posted it. I'd look like some kind of racist cannibal, instead of someone innocently saying how good cooKies tasted.
Howdy Tweeps. It's Friday! #getexcited! The weekend has begun. Woo hoo! And you know what that means, right? Yep, time to prep for those "Honey Do" lists!
I see by the little itty bitty clock thingy down in the lower right corner that it's ... *squints* ... looking like I'm a tad late getting here today. Well let me explain ... on second thought, none of ya would probably believe me, so never mind. 🤪
Anyway, it's been a mixed bag today, weather wise. First bright and sunny, now cloudy ... ah, Spring weather in the PNW. If you don't like it, wait 5 minutes. It'll change.
"Mississippi House Votes to Ban Transgender Athletes from Girls,’ Women’s Sports"
Already passed the state Senate, so now itgoes to Reeves for his signature. That will be a good day, imo. tinyurl.com/ycat5f2b
Side notes: Before anyone gets their knickers in a knot, science tells us that there are only two biological genders, so if you dispute that, who's the "science denier"?
The science, plus life experience, tells us that males are physically inherently stronger than females, and to allow males to compete against females infers an unfair advantage.
*... sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide ...* *tap tap tap* This thing on?
Oh hai!
Howdy Tweeps. It's Thursday, aka as the day after Hump Day *and* Friday Eve at the same time. Thursday is a multitasker of a day! Bet you never thought of that, huh? You're welcome!
Anyway ... let's see ... got a whopping total of about 4 hours of sleep, mostly this morning (I was up past midnight), and yet! And yet, I still managed to get my grocery shopping done, *and* put away! Woo hoo, go me!
Howdy Tweeps. It's ... *checks calendar* ... oh yeah. Wednesday, aka Hump Day. Woo hoo! #getexcited! Anybody? Bueller? C'mon people, work with me here.
Alrighty then ... so, what's on the ol' agenda for today? Well ... *shuffles papers* ... I know I had it here a minute ago ... where did it go ...? Aha! Found it! Wait, no ... that's not it. Maybe this?
Nope, not that either ... that's a bill. Paid for, though. *whew!* Thought I'd missed that one, but nope. Good! Ok then, where were we?

It's both heartening, and infuriating, reading the reports of various states, usually so called "battle ground" states, legislatures are working on election reform.
Heartening in the sense that claims of improprieties during the November 2020 elections are actually being looked at, in spite of the legacy media, and others, attempts to say there was nothing wrong.
Which leads to the infuriating part. Despite credible evidence that improprieties did occur, that the Dems and the courts refused to look at, and Big Tech censoring of anyone claiming there were problems ...
