Happy Wednesday! “What’s COVID?” Politico goes to Lake of the Ozarks to talk to partying Missourians who obviously aren’t taking COVID-19 seriously. For ground zero of the Delta Variant, seems to me they should be taking things more seriously than they should.

Chasten Buttigieg is not meant for Washington. As The Post reports. Not all spouses are ready for the hell-hole of Washington.

Trump was bad at bureaucracy… I know you’re shocked.

Was he joking? Are we talking about the same guy?

At least when our former president said insulting statements, he was usually joking.
