Driving over the Kanawha River in Charleston, West Virginia yesterday evening.
I’ve been wondering:
Who is making crazy big money on these fuel prices?

Jamie Ding may be the “nicest Jeopardy champ ever,” as the Wall Street Journal opines.
He’s got to be one of the most mild-mannered.
His sweet, embarrassed smiles; the downward glances as if he’s bowing all the time; the hand gestures.
He’s had one lucky escape and a couple of legit challenges.
But mostly he’s running away with the contests.
Gently.
Could he reach or pass the greatest champions?
He’s in fifth place all time.
Closing in on:
James Holzhauer (32 wins)
Matt Amodio (38)
Amy Schneider (40)
And Ken Jennings (74)
How far can he go?

Virginia jumping to a 10 to 1 Democrat to Republican takeover in the U.S. House of Representatives in a state that votes 46 percent Republican is pro-wrestling-level cheating.
Consider the word “representative.”
It’s so blatant and in-your-face it would be hilarious if democracy wasn’t being bashed over the head.
The symbol for Gov. Spanberger’s administration should be a folding chair.
No other state that redistricted this cycle comes even close to this low of a blow. (Texas’ effort gave Republicans a 5-1 advantage. Virginia doubled that for Democrats in a state that has a smaller majority control.)
I always thought of Virginia as an honest, honorable state that respected decency and tradition. Common sense.
No other state has birthed as many Presidents.
I am stunned city dwellers were able to ram this through and now have the gall to whine that it’s being challenged in court.
Governor Folding Chair says Virginia will go back to bipartisan redistricting after Trump is gone.
By then Sweet Virginia will be in the clutches of overly liberal sourpusses bent on making it another pasty-faced Nanny State.
