SPOILER ALERT: Micky is Gonna Win
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is ratcheting up his war with Mickey to absurd new levels this week, after his efforts to take over Disney World’s special taxing district hit a major legal snag, by threatening to punish the company by taking various retaliatory actions, including building a state prison next to the park property.

SHOCKER: Mitch McConnell Praises a Democrat!

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) praised Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) as a “titanic figure” on Tuesday before decrying what McConnell characterized as an attempt to “sideline” the Judiciary Committee member.

The 89-year-old Feinstein was diagnosed with shingles, a painful nerve virus in February and after a stint in the hospital, has spent the time since then recovering at her home in California. In a statement released by Feinstein last week, she said that her return to the Senate had “been delayed due to continued complications related to my diagnosis,” but promised to continue working from home until she was cleared to travel.

Three flashes of a gun and he was dead.

My heart aches for the death of Gerson a.k.a. Chachi of Tamarindo on Friday night. He was the son of my best friend and he was only 23. Chachi was a surf instructor and taught hundreds, if not thousands of tourists. He surfed with my son and helped him hone his skills. His big personality and smile captivated people instantly. He loved animals and they loved him, he had a special touch. He embodied the best of Costa Rica.

The police said Chachi was being chased on his motorcycle according to witnesses, was shot once from 20 meters away and two more shots from close range according to the shell casings. So, it was a hit and no one has any idea why.

Chachi became a proud father for the first time 2 months ago. At the very least, Chachi left us a piece of his heart -- his son.

Pura vida, Chachi.
