Had lunch with an old friend I rarely see anymore - yesterday - and the subject meandered to the latest flap on abortion, and I was telling him about my observations that it is the UNITED STATES that is the outlier and the most permissive about abortion and abortion laws - and our left wing that salivates and pines for European lifestyles and norms never seem to consider THEIR laws regarding abortion while decrying OURS.
"Distraction" he said, and shrugged. He observed that these items always seem to appear for a while in the news cycle just when really BAD chit begins to emerge about the administration. And it lingers, until the next one. Predictably, he said that's why the news is flush with crap about Depp and Heard. As if it is news.
But what does get me is - the ONE thing I do want to know about is - what happened to Ukraine?
If I want to know anything going on there, I no have to go to BBC or foreign news, because our news channels have lost interest. The closes thing to news about Ukraine is, 40 billion dollars and Rand Paul. And Schumer blathering about Paul even though the bill passed anyway, as though disagreeing at ALL is some milder form of treason.
Why not? Seems to me that the war in Ukraine IS the crucial, central issue that affects so much of the others.
