• The London Daily Mail reports it appears Vladimir Putin has begun to purge old business allies after one of the wealthy oligarchs who run state monopolies was thrown off a building last week. Police said he died of natural causes, since after all, gravity is natural. It was recorded as coronavirus.
• House and Senate Democrats spoke at angry rallies in front of the Supreme Court, insisting that abortion is an inherent constitutional right by now. GOP lawmakers are lying low.

• Texas famous rattlesnake handler Eugene De Leon was bitten on the shoulder by a rattlesnake while he was performing onstage with the snakes at the Texas Rattlesnake Roundup and died. The ambulance couldn’t get him to the hospital on time. The question is, what did he have on Hillary?
• Caroline Kennedy was confirmed as Ambassador to Australia. Her financials given to the Senate eight years ago revealed she’s worth $500 million, and she’s one of Joe Kennedy’s 29 grandkids to whom he equally divided his fortune. Misers make the worst spouses but they make the best ancestors.
