"Red," another great one from Jesse Wells, on Colbert's show this week.

I got me a red horse and I ride it
I got some blue friends, they're the best
Used to ride around the world on a big jet plane
They call "The Lolita Express"

JESSE WELLS IS A MODERN DAY WOODY GUTHRIE. His Folk finger style guitar is trickier than it sounds, and his song-writing is always very relevant to current events. Music and Art, and political Satire like Colbert's Late Show, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers are effective tools to defeat TRUMP/GOP FASCISM!

This is huge. Voters are fed up. Voters are fed up with politics as usual, they're fed up with high prices, they're fed up with the status quo. They rejected the Trump backed candidate. Congrats Eileen Higgins on your election. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

BREAKING: Democrats Score a Stunning Upset and Elect a Democratic Miami Mayor for the First Time in 30 Years
Miami’s first Democratic mayor in 30 years and Jasmine Crockett’s entrance into the Texas Senate race point to a growing Democratic push in states once written off as solidly red.

Oh look, it’s Trump pretending to save the day, by fixing a problem that he created with a bailout.

But it doesn’t solve the real problem. Farmers wouldn’t have been in this position if it weren’t for Trump’s insane tariff policy.

CNN: That's not what farmers are telling you. One farmer at a town hall told you tariffs drove up prices of fertilizer

ALFORD: It was Biden that drove it up

C: That's not what the farmer told you

A: Well, that's what I'm telling you

C: Sir, excuse me. Are you listening to your constituents?

lol I love that Habba thinks she can quit a job she never had. That reminds me, I need to resign as the prime minister of Australia.
The Parking Lot Lawyer FINALLY figured out she wasn’t welcome.

And PS: This is a complete and total surrender by Habba.
