Tomorrow's Show

A lot of themes continue as the almost raucous Presidential campaigns are under way with contrasting styles. Besides the usual comparisons of Trump going to a policeman's wake in NY while Biden, Obama, and Clinton threw an expensive gala in midtown Manhattan. That contrast was promoted by the Trump campaign. At the gala, Lizzo was there to throw her weight behind Biden. (Groan). Stephen Colbert was there to continue his never-ending Trump-hating schtick. The elitist tinge to such an event, though, is not what the Democrat Party needs. It has a “let them eat cake” air.

Photo of Presidents at gala.

Baltimore Bridge Redux

The show received an interesting boots on the ground report about the collapsed bridge that might enlighten the audience and is another exclusive to the No Agenda Show. Here it is:

This bridge was the “shortcut” around Baltimore traffic. This will have little or no effect on interstate commerce...The truck fire under 95 actually caused more of a disruption between Philly and the port of Newark Cars will be re-routed to Philly, which has the capacity, and any additional labor stevedores, team, etc., are union and will drive up to work as needed.

The GPS theory sounds unlikely. This looks like an unfortunate but not out-of-the-ordinary event.

I've been on BRAND NEW vessels from the Italian shipyard with MASSIVE network and power issues. I have had an entire ship shut down in the North Sea because one of my video engineers and backline techs was electrocuted by touching a lamp in a lounge.

Yikes. Happy Easter!
