    BREAKING: President Whitmore will climb into the cockpit and lead American pilots in today's mission. The Desert Storm veteran flew 27 missions over the Persian Gulf in 1990-91, but his toughest assignment yet may be today over the friendly sands of the Mojave.

    Up bright & early for today's stroll through the capital: a tour of Roman London. We shall walk the line of the city walls, and then visit the sites of its vanished monuments. (The archaeological sites, alas, will be shut, but there is always the imagination...)

    Violence and anarchy are unacceptable. We are a nation of laws. This needs to end now.

    This violence is unacceptable and needs to be met with the full force of the law. God bless the Capitol Police who are keeping us safe.

    No no no, Twitter has spoken. Even repeating the *possibility* that COVID escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology or was engineered is a "dangerous" and "debunked" conspiracy theory.
