If they are really relatives, they are humongous dickwads. Envious, pathetic idjits who don’t understand how embarrassing they look.
Poor Walz. I have all sorts in my family but nobody this hopeless.
My friend from Lviv finally wrote back that he and his wife are alive. One of his students was killed in the Russian air raid on Lviv today.
This is now a regular occurrence that I start my day with trying to find out if everybody I know survived the night.
This is Obama-level stuff where the will of the Congress is directly defied to aid Russia. We are the Dems’ new blacks. We are being loved and supported by them to the absolute death.
I understand that not everybody cares about Ukraine, and that’s fine. But, folks, the Dems are doing this exact thing to you on whatever issue you do care about. All they give is words and symbolic gestures of support and understanding while eviscerating you.
“Yes, but don’t you think Republicans would have been worse?” people invariably say when I talk about this. This is the hook we are being kept on. We fixate on a fantasy and forget about reality. Trump didn’t defy the Congress to quietly sabotage the Lend Lease. He didn’t let PDA expire amidst showy gestures of fake support. He didn’t do anything for Russia at all. Yet we hear that he’s a Russian spy while Biden / Harris are pro-Ukrainian from every outlet in existence because of the words each side said.
There is nothing happy about Biden’s failure to follow a clear and decisive course on Ukraine. Instead, he has condemned Ukraine to a long war of attrition and possibly a slow national death, by slow-walking U.S. weapons support and permission for its use.

If Trump did anything remotely similar to what Biden is doing, we’d hear endless howling that he’s a Russian spy, owned by Putin, and all that. But these actions aren’t evidence of being “a Russian asset” if a Democrat is doing it.
I can only repeat that political partisanship is a mental defect.
It’s extraordinary that such an egregiously unintelligent person would condescend so majestically to people who are clearly much smarter than she is.
Voters don’t support Trump because they think he clipped coupons and swung hammers. None of the elite class did that, and nobody needs them to. Pretending to be “coach Tim” or “Ebonics Kamala” is embarrassing. It’s cringe.
The idea that voters need relatable politicians who live just like them is stupid. Nobody’s naive to the point of thinking that a presidential candidate clips coupons in the evenings. Just be normal and stop faking, is what everybody wants.
And @KamalaHQ actually posted this clip which reveals great cluelessness.
I read this five times and I still don’t get it:
Even I, the most heat-averse person in existence, wouldn’t refer to +26°C (79F) as “blasted by a heatwave.” I call this temperature “a blessed relief.”
How do you even post this headline with a serious face?
My university suddenly discovered that discriminating by race and sex is unconstitutional. So offering scholarships to “black female students in chemistry”, for example, is a violation of Civil Rights laws.
Why it had to take a lawsuit to clock on to this is a mystery.
We already abolished “diversity statements” during hiring, which had also taken a complaint to the Office for Civil Rights.
All of this is already illegal. The only thing that’s needed is a single complaint. The people who make an effort to file these complaints (instead of just complaining on social media, like I do) are achieving great progress.
What does it say about me that baristas routinely hear my name as “Alpha”?
The Trump assassination attempt received less coverage than this non-event. Stop the presses, a politician sought out a photo op during a campaign! This is so shocking that we need to talk about it for weeks.
The next time I’ll be invited on the show will be to talk about the US elections. That should be fun. My mother says if I express what I really think about the US election, I’ll be deported. Which represents a clear-eyed, if pessimistic, assessment of where the US is headed.
