Greetings!  And Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all those who celebrate! Over the weekend, Donald Trump chatted with conservative podcaster Sharyl Attkinsson.  The 35-minute friendly interview can be heard on Attkinsson’s website…A reporter for the conservative Free Press visited Trump Tower recently to observe a singles party for MAGA-supporters who are looking for love in all the right and right-leaning places.  Here’s the inside dope….American Greatness reports that several right wing influencers have been “swatted” recently. They include Infowars’ Chuck Geiser, talk show host Joe Pags and Trump impersonator Shawn Farash…The Progressive’s Definitive Guide to Surviving Another Trump Presidency provides coping tools over the next 46 months.  This slim 136-page book published last month already feels outdated…Only 453 days till Trump turns 80 and he seems more addled every day.
