We spend more time than some think we should talking about the world of Golf but this week the world of Golf took center-stage in the theater of the ridiculous. World #1 player, Scottie Scheffler, who could be Harrison Butker's more devoted big brother, was arrested at the front gates of Valhalla where the PGA Championship was being contested (0:00-28:00).

A judge in Georgia wimps out and establishes himself as a member in good standing in the culture of cowardice. Can you say bloodbath?

Megyn Kelly does a Katie Britt imitation. Mike Pence will not endorse Trump. Bill Maher falls back into the coward ranks. Juwan Howard might have been fired because he sucked or it could be racism.

Expectations were low and President Biden surpassed them as far as his ability to deliver the State of the Union address and appear modestly energetic in doing so. It was the colorful baiting of Marjorie Taylor Greene that caused the Biden fumble heard all across the media landscape these past few days. As usual Zig's got a unique take on all of it.

SCOTUS returns a 9 - 0 decision in the case involving whether the state of Colorado and others can remove Donald Trump from the ballot in their states reciting the 14th Amendment clause involving insurrection.
