7 Things: Trump arrested, Biden ignored; Tuberville upsets senators; and more …

7. Starbucks caves and does away with some Pride merchandise while Target is targeted by LGBTQ wannabe terrorists but most of the media seem to want to bury the lede.

6. A day after transgender White House partygoers showed their man-made breasts and mastectomy scars on the White House lawn, the White House press secretary dismissed those individuals’ behavior, but then declared that asking questions about transgender athletes is “dangerous.”

5. U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) wants the Air Force to stop building up Space Command in Colorado. He has now inserted language into appropriations legislation that forbids any more money be spent on Space Force construction in Colorado until, “the preferred location for permanent headquarters of the United States Space Command is selected or until the required report is submitted.”

4. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) missed the vote to confirm President Joe Biden’s terrible economic advisor Jared Bernstein to the position of chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. Tuberville’s fellow Republicans are not happy, which is reasonable, considering the senator was in New Jersey with former President Donald Trump. BUT Democrats had the votes, all Tuberville’s vote did was force Vice President Kamala Harris to do some work. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) voted against Bernstein.

3. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) took the first opportunity he could to call out the FBI for withholding information from Congress and protecting the Biden family. FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate refused to answer questions about whether the FBI has investigated Biden family bribery allegations or if they would provide the Senate with the requested recordings and documents. Mainstream media still does not care.

2. Media whiffs again on suggestions that chaos would happen in Miami during former President Donald Trump’s arraignment, even citing “unnamed sources” in Trump’s orbit. The media warned, as usual, that chaos would reign and violence would unfold because Trump’s supporters are bloodthirsty psychos. But the only outrageous incident was a protestor who tried to rush the former president’s motorcade.

1. Trump has been arrested, pleads not guilty, and then was immediately released. He then traveled to New Jersey and gave a speech to a very receptive crowd.
