Bill Maher: “It’s just gone on too long, nobody cares anymore. I don’t want to live in your mask paranoid world anymore. You go out it’s silly now: you have to have a mask, you have a booster, they scan your head. Like you’re a cashier and I’m a bunch of bananas. I’m not bananas, you are.”

Sorry, Ukraine
The attempt to draw Ukraine out of Russia’s orbit, the partway-open door to Ukrainians who preferred westward-focused alliances, was a foolish over-commitment even when American power was at its height. … in geopolitics good intentions are always downstream from the realities of power. Whatever its desires or ours, the government in Ukraine has simply never been in a position to fully join the West — it’s too economically weak, too internally divided and simply in the wrong place. — Ross Douthat, NY Times.

The incredible shrinking
Uncle JoeNew poll numbers from Gallup puts Biden’s approval at just 40% with 56% disapproving — the lowest yet.
“President Biden’s Georgia speech is a break point. He thought he was merely appealing to his base. He might have united the rest of the country against him. … The over-the-top language of the speech made him seem more emotional, less competent. … They have no idea how they sound to the non-left, so they have no idea when they are damaging themselves.
“But this week in Georgia Mr. Biden damaged himself. And strengthened, and may even have taken a step in unifying, the non-Democrats who are among their countrymen, and who are in fact the majority of them.” — Peggy Noonan.
“I think millions of Americans have become very demoralized — they’re asking, what do the Democrats stand for? Clearly, the current strategy is failing and we need a major course correction.” — Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“It seems like the Democrats can’t get out of their own way.” — U.S. Rep Tim Ryan, D-Ohio.
Others say that as President, Mr. Biden has fallen out of step with many voters by focusing on issues like climate change and voting rights. — New York Times.

I’m at a loss here. Protesters trespass, and homeowners who are apparently scarred, are the ones being charged?

Your loss is understandable because you didn’t comprehend the article. The police report listed the couple as the “victims”. The trespass charge was something the police might charge the protesters with because the ultra-rich neighborhood considers their streets as private property and they entered through a gate. (Nice digs huh) The 4th degree charge is against anyone protesting because they scarred the couple. Bottom line; no arrests, no damage, nobody hurt. Everyone walked away. Could have been very different if Ma and Pa Kettle started blasting away. The state has no gun laws so it could have been a great big shootout.

No, the Soros-funded district attorney wants the couple investigated for “violent assault” and “intimidation or threat of deadly force.

For some context, this thread documents how BLM in St. Louis deals with unarmed people. Contrast the media’s coverage of this incident with that of the homeowners.
