Friends, it's an article of faith on the Left that Trump, and pretty much every prominent Republican/conservative, is subservient to Vladimir Putin and Russia's security services. I mean, why else would I have the Alfa Bank on speed dial, right? Well, here's Tucker Carlson's (latest) rebuttal. His point is fairly simple: questioning the conventional wisdom of U.S. and Western policy is NOT "treason". It's free speech, and it's democracy in action. If anyone thinks the way we've handled Ukraine and Russia up to now has been a rip-roaring success, then they can darn well explain why that's so, and if, once in a blue moon, someone dares to contradict them, well...HARD CHEESE!!!
In other news, Trump is making it increasingly explicit that, if he chooses to run again in 2024, Mike Pence will not be his running mate. I think we all saw that one coming!

This article is intriguing, although the same point has been made many times before: Americans are, in a word, demographic imbeciles. They haven't the slightest idea how many of their countrymen are, say, white, black, brown, or...whatever other colors it's still permissible to discuss. Now, you could argue that this is just garden variety ignorance, but in fact it's rather important, in an age when we're, as a country, increasingly obsessed with race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc. Let's be clear on one point: most Americans are still, at this stage, non-Hispanic whites. Soon, however, that population group, which has been historically dominant, both numerically and politically/socially, will be in the minority. That's probably going to have some pretty profound implications. Some of them will no doubt be good, and some of them may, contrary to what you've heard in the media, be bad, or at least potentially destabilizing in the short and medium term. The biggest losers in this transformation one would expect to be whites themselves, who will no longer be in a position to determine the outcomes of our elections, but will continue to be blamed (one assumes) for most of what ails our country. So...is demography "destiny", as the saying goes? Not entirely, but it's a relevant factor, to be sure!
Finally, congrats to Novak Djokovic who, just weeks ago, was the unvaccinated bad boy who the whole world loved to hate. Now, though, COVID is old news, and the new bogeyman is Putin, so Djokovic is...back in business! Good for him.
