Fragile...
President Joe Biden and the new Democratic Congress were just sworn in, but the clock has already started on the 2022 midterm elections, when voters will decide if the president gets more than two years to advance his agenda with a friendly Congress.
Democrats have to defend a narrow 221-211 majority in the House (218 seats are needed for control) and the 50-50 Senate, where losing even a single seat will cost the party the chamber.
History is not on their side. Americans typically put a check on power, and the president's party has lost House seats in nearly every midterm since the 1930s. They typically suffer big losses in their first midterm.
"In 2020, House Republicans won 28 out of the 29 most competitive districts by highlighting the exact job-killing policies Joe Biden has enacted during his first week in office," said Michael McAdams, spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, the campaign arm of the House GOP. "If House Democrats thought 2020 was bad, they aren't the slightest bit prepared for what the 2022 cycle has in store."

Stripping...
The NYPD has released video showing suspects wanted for stealing and then stripping an unmarked police car in the Bronx — with one seemingly ready-handed with a power drill.
Four people wanted for stealing the Ford Taurus — assigned to the Bronx Special Victims Unit — from outside a supermarket at East 167th and Fox Streets at just after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The car was found later a mile north, outside a laundromat near the Bronx River — up on cinderblocks and completely stripped and destroyed.
One of the quartet being sought was seen carrying a cigarette in her right hand — and a yellow-and-black power drill in her left.
Police said the car was “entered by unknown means” before being driven away and “disassembled.” It was not immediately clear if the suspects would have known it was a police car.

Overwhelmed...
Five children found dead after a West Virginia house fire late last year.
Greenbrier County Sheriff Bruce Sloan said Oreanna Antoinette Myers, 25, shot her three children and two stepchildren at their home near Williamsburg. The children ranged in age from 1 to 7.
The children’s bodies were found inside the home while Myers was found outside, Sloan said.
Officials said the weapon was not automatic, meaning Myers had to reload the shotgun before each deadly blast.
Sloan said text messages sent in the week before the tragedy between Myers and her husband showed that Bumgarner’s work-related absence was the source of a heated disagreement between the couple.
What's happening here? Just a thought.
Under-WearLD
