Here comes the sun

 

I hope this is not Photoshopped.

Happy Day, people of Earth.  Given the firestorm when Easter happened to coincide with Transgender Awareness Day, it's nervy of Joe Biden to recognize Earth Day on the first night of Passover.  Nevertheless, he's at Prince William Forest Park in Virginia to announce a $7 billion solar energy initiative with special emphasis on poorer communities.  Why Virginia has a park named for the Prince of Wales is anybody's guess.

In addition to Earth Day, National Jelly Bean Day and the start of Allergy Awareness Week, it's Let's All Dump on Marjorie Taylor Greene Day, when Americans on the left and especially on the right express how bloody sick of her they are.  She's got the New York Post front page to herself...

...a Fox News editorial bluntly says, "Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot," and former Rep. Ken Buck reached back for Lenin's phrase "useful idiot" and then corrected himself:  "I don't even think that Marjorie reaches that level...she is just mouthing the Russian propaganda."  Is she ever!  Russian media has already forgotten its love affair with Tucker Carlson:  "A beauty, she is one of the few members of the US Congress who is trying to look like a person in an old-fashioned sense of the word.  She is a blonde who wears white coats with a fur collar.  She is demonstratively heterosexual."  Hubba hubba.

You don't have to convince her current soulmate, Brian Glenn, who says liberal women are "ugly" and look like men.  Chacun a son gout, Brian.

Marge is still steaming about the passage of the Ukraine aid package and still demanding that Mike Johnson step down or get the Kevin McCarthy treatment.  Surprisingly few members are enthusiastic about picking their third Speaker in two years, however, and some are openly afraid of seeing Hakeem Jeffries handed the gavel before next January.  

Any day now, we're told, Melania Trump will start campaigning for her nominal husband in the time she doesn't spend supporting him in court.  So far, however, she has only appeared on Xitter (apparently she does not have a TRUTH SOCIAL account) selling a gold-plated Mothers Day charm called "Her Love," an "exquisite jewel filled with immense gratitude."  Only $245, get one while they last.  Buyers also get a "digital collectible," whatever that is.

Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) was dismayed when the Ukraine aid bill passed the House, and even more dismayed when Democrats broke out Ukrainian flags in celebration:  "Only one flag has a place in the chamber and it's Old Glory.  To that end, I am introducing legislation to make sure that no foreign flags are on the House floor ever again."  Where was she three years ago last January?  Hiding with the rest of the MAGAts, I presume.

Does Mitt Romney have secret powers we don't know about?  I ask because John Fetterman thinks he should become president of Harvard and sort out its antisemitism, which he connects to "far-left orthodoxy."  I'm not saying Jewish or any other students should be fearful on campus, I'm asking why Romney?  He's not someone whose name comes to mind when I think of conflict resolution.  I feel like Oprah could do better.
