Sources: GOP Senators Preparing for McConnell Retirement
The Spectator World | April 13, 2023 | Cockburn

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell has been out of the public eye for weeks, following a serious fall that hospitalized him.

Now multiple sources confirm that Senators John Barrasso of North Dakota, John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota are actively reaching out to fellow Republican senators in efforts to prepare for an anticipated leadership vote — a vote that would occur upon announcement that McConnell would be retiring from his duties as leader, and presumably the Senate itself.

WATCH: Jack Daniel’s Fan Sets Whiskey on Fire to Blast ‘Woke-A** Company’

A Jack Daniel’s fan has accused the whiskey company of going “woke” due to its ad campaign featuring drag queens.

“For those of you who know me well my drink has always been Jack Daniels. For over 150 years since 1866 this drink was always associated with cowboys, warriors, bikers, savage rock bands and all American bad ass people,” Pauly Michaelis wrote in a social media post Friday.

“THEY WENT WOKE,” Michaelis continued. He added a middle-finger emoji and stated that Jasper Newton, the founder of Jack Daniel’s, was “turning over in his grave.”

What You Talking About, “Abandonment Concern”?

Any time you can work the word “puppy” into the news cycle, it’s a good day.

Oh, wait:

LAPD Says Puppy OK After Being Tossed From Moving Car During Hours-Long Pursuit, Identifies 3 Arrested at Chase’s End
KTLA | Cameron Kiszla

The Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday identified the attempted murder [but not of the puppy — Oppo] suspect at the center of Friday’s hours-long pursuit that ended in West Carson after traveling through multiple cities in Los Angeles County.

Police also named two women accused of helping the suspect in his getaway attempt and provided an update on the puppy that was tossed from a moving vehicle during the chase.

The investigation is ongoing, and more charges could be coming, as during the pursuit, a puppy in a designer handbag was thrown from a moving vehicle, police said.

“Miraculously the dog emerged unharmed and was rescued by responding LAPD officers,” police said. “The puppy is now in the care of South L.A. Animal Services, where it is presently being held pending an investigation into the abandonment concern that was noted during the pursuit.”

Obviously, the L.A. District Attorney has to look into the skin tone of the puppy before deciding on what charges to bring.
