This week we’re playing catch up on some happenings in the news--the freezing conditions in Texas that have led to horrendous prison conditions and skyrocketing energy costs, as well as the abysmal mismanagement of the Biden stimulus package and general incompetence of the democrats. But hey, at least Rush Limbaugh is dead.
