In Ukraine, the murderous Russian strongman Vladimir Putin,

Vlad the would-be impeller, writes our friend Charles Lipson,

continues his murderous rampage, and people are dying in that war of his.

It is a crisis where all interests push their interests forward.

And don't forget what Mayor Rama manual said about crisis.

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.

And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you could not do before.

So President Joe Biden, his poll numbers dropping,

signals his minions of the idiocracy to use this crisis to portray his critics as traitors Putin-loving stooges.

And so, since I'm a critic, my patriotism is called into question.

Simply because I don't want this to escalate,

since there are nuclear weapons at the edge of it.

And I want people to think clearly, and not with emotion, but with cold logic.

Yet with so much focus on Ukraine, local politicians don't want this crisis to go to waste either.

And they breathe a sigh of relief that media is looking away from their policies to focus on Ukraine and Russia.

Like Governor Pritzker in Mayor Laurie Lightfoot,

the blue state lockdown artists and killers of small businesses.

Clearly they haven't understood American history, perhaps they didn't really read it.

Because they portray themselves as they're giving us our liberty from COVID masks,

even though school kids are still masks, and they reserve the right to take that liberty away if needs be.

It's as if they've usurped God, and the liberty God has given us.

Speaking of wars, there's another war here in Chicago too that doesn't get enough coverage.
