Congress managed to avoid a Government shutdown over the weekend, but not without a lot of drama… Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman was caught on camera pulling a FIRE ALARM right before a major vote. Republicans say he was attempting to obstruct an official proceeding… but Bowman and the Dems say it was “Mistake” and he was just “Trying to open the door”.

- So……. If somebody had just pulled the FIRE ALARM on January 6th everything would have been cool?? Good to know.

Former Prez Trump is in a NYC Courtroom this morning accused of deceiving banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets. Last week, the Judge overseeing the case, valued Trumps Mar a Lago at just $18 MILLION despite much smaller homes in the same neighborhood ON THE OCEAN selling for $200 MILLION.

- The Judge must be the same guy who appraised my house when I put it on the Market a couple years ago.

A flying car made its debut at the Auto Show here in Detroit last month.

- Of course I debuted the original "Flying Car"... when I used to pass cars in the Tunnel when I was late to start my 6am show at CKLW in Windsor back in the early 80's. (TRUE STORY!!!)
