Ha ha, probably some rich old cougar, are we right? Prowling the bars for some young stud to seduce? Gonna show him what a “real woman” can do? Seriously, though, that jungle cat is going to tear somebody to bits.
Words to live by
Only somewhat?
Google suggests Bowers has neither a fun mustache nor a history of public meltdowns so it’s unclear what he’s doing on Trump’s legal team
This is what Biden is actually dealing with, contrary to Trump’s claim that he “saved or supported over 50 million jobs” and was leaving him the “greatest economy in the history of the world”
Another 900,000 people filed new unemployment claims last week, former president Donald Trump’s last in office, a snapshot of the significant labor market challenges facing President Biden.
An additional 423,000 people in 47 states filed new claims for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, the program created to help gig and self-employed workers.
Altogether, nearly 16 million people were claiming benefits as of Jan. 2, the last week available for that measurement. That number is expected to increase in the coming weeks as people who were dropped from the unemployment rolls after their benefits expired file new claims to take advantage of the extension passed by Congress at the last minute in December.
The number of new unemployment claims filed each week has remained above the pre-pandemic record of 695,000 since coronavirus cases starting rising last March. Jobless claims have also risen in recent weeks.
A complaint from Jeanine Pirro led to Trump staffers scrambling to put together a last-minute pardon for her ex-husband
Pirro was upset that her ex-husband Albert J. Pirro Jr. wasn’t on Trump’s final pardon list that came out early Wednesday morning, and that message was conveyed to the White House and its former resident, according to a former White House adviser. Albert Pirro was convicted on conspiracy and tax evasion charges after improperly deducting $1.2 million of his personal expenses in business write-offs.
A separate source familiar with the matter tells CNN that Albert Pirro was not on the pardon radar before Wednesday morning. It wasn’t until midmorning that day that aides, who were in the middle of off-boarding their duties to the new administration, were told it needed to be done.
The order came as a total surprise and had aides scrambling to make it happen before the noon ET deadline, when Trump’s term came to an end.
Minutes after Trump landed in Florida following his final flight aboard Air Force One from Washington, now-former deputy White House press secretary Judd Deere released a statement announcing that “Today, President Donald J. Trump granted a full pardon to Albert J. Pirro, Jr.”
Maybe Trump wasn’t a good president?
Newly sworn in President Joe Biden and his advisers are inheriting no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of from the Trump administration, sources tell CNN, posing a significant challenge for the new White House.
The Biden administration has promised to try to turn the Covid-19 pandemic around and drastically speed up the pace of vaccinating Americans against the virus. But in the immediate hours following Biden being sworn into office on Wednesday, sources with direct knowledge of the new administration’s Covid-related work told CNN one of the biggest shocks that the Biden team had to digest during the transition period was what they saw as a complete lack of a vaccine distribution strategy under former President Donald Trump, even weeks after multiple vaccines were approved for use in the United States.
“There is nothing for us to rework. We are going to have to build everything from scratch,” one source said.
Another source described the moment that it became clear the Biden administration would have to essentially start from “square one” because there simply was no plan as: “Wow, just further affirmation of complete incompetence.”

Another big moment from a big day
“I’ll be back … in a few weeks, for my second shot.”
“Only Jesus with loaves and fishes could handle the situation that the federal government created,” Cuomo said. “Because they created such a demand and they never increased the supply.”
