Lori McKenna: Buy This Town - That my life is good isn’t making me happy these days. Not when so many are miserable. And when so many are committed to making sure they stay miserable. “The stupid.

Mark Knopfler - Forty-Five Republican Senators voted against a trial for Donald Trump, making it impossible he'll be convicted. That means the only people who will be found guilty of anything are the
