So there’s a battle raging for Severodonetsk right now. Hopefully it’s going well. Ever since the offensive in Donbass started, things have slowed down to a slog. The Russians have advanced some 25-50 km along the frontlines of Donbass in total. That’s not really the kind of slam dunk play that gets the fans in the stands to stand up and cheer. As a result, people have moved on to talking about other hot button topics.
“How are people not tired of debating this issue?” >Well the (one of the?) latest shooting event in the US, in Uvalde, Texas, was close to home for me. Funny thing is the shooting/topic of gun control hasn’t even come up in conversation amongst my friends. I keep meaning to bring it up but then it slips my mind. I guess we are no longer shocked by events like this or the push for gun control that always follows. Just because no one I know is debating anything, that doesn’t stop the media from ‘debating’ gun control. Honestly, my small circle of friends doesn’t include any liberals so I guess the media is rousing all the liberals I don’t know..??
Anyway, Beto “I’m coming for your AK-47s’” O’Rourke is running for governor of Texas against the mildly conservative Greg Abbott. The effort to turn Texas red has been a goal of the left for years. My guess is the shooting event will be used to make a Beto win plausible. I say plausible because I, and many others I know, have little faith in the integrity of the voting system at this point. Without this event I don’t think the average Texan would believe a Beto win is legit.
I’m still voting and I hope I’m wrong about the election system, we shall see…
The remaining Ukrainians are in the Azot chemical factory, but since they are surrounded their escape is nearly impossible. They are replicating Azovstal - bravo!
“Politics is the continuation of war by other means.”
Is that an original? Chapeau, if so, sir..
