THE LIGHTER SIDE

God bless America, and how’s everybody?

■ Hunter Biden got a $2 million advance for his memoir. A publisher giving a newly sober coke head $2 million in cash is like the voters giving Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi a majority, a Democratic president and the COVID relief bill. You can only feel so good before your heart explodes.

■ House Democrats suggested that the National Guard troops remain stationed in Washington for 20 years and purged of any conservative soldiers. The U.S. Capitol has been taken over by an angry mob again. OK, they were elected, but they are doing a lot more damage than the last mob.

■ China reported great success in its new COVID tests in Wuhan that employs anal swabbing of the person tested. It was made mandatory. China’s government is disputing the video evidence showing that people in Wuhan who have been anally swabbed are now walking around like penguins.
