  We know that there are many alarm bells ringing about the country's drift towards fascism.

   Poking around the news today I saw four stories that offered a little short respite from the drift. The first is that Biden's approval numbers have gone up a tad. Second, Proud Boy January 6th rioter Matthew Greene has pleaded guilty to among other things, conspiracy. Now I'm wondering who this guy will rat out as the January 6th Committe continues to bark at the heels of the riot's essential designers and instigators, they're closing in. Third is GOP Rep. Rice now publicly saying he regrets voting against certifying the 2020 election. He's a little late of course, but the public announcement is curious especially at this juncture, it's unlikely he would do this if he didn't somehow feel safe about it, knowing full well most of these guys are terrified of the extremist right wing death threats. And finally, there's staunch MAGA nut Michael Flynn's lawsuit seeking to prevent the January 6th Committee from getting ahold of some of his salient records. That case was thrown out today close to 24 hours after it was originally filed. Poor Flynn, he seems destined for jail.
