..then tv goes to local weather then to you tube cuz they have more on the ball than cable news...esp with the Epstein files.. and the brits are really on top of it!

but the BEST news of the morning was about a woman who got arrested and booked in Vegas for abandoning her service dog ( a small doodle) and resisting arrest. YAY! LOCK HER UP!
