Democrats are in deep yogurt, and they know it. Every poll shows them getting demolished during the midterms. That is why wise Democratic members of congress are suddenly retiring. It was bad enough that Joe Biden has mucked up handling COVID and the economy to a fare thee well. The humiliation of our catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan made things so much worse. Now we are watching Biden and Kamala Harris self-destruct trying and failing to deal with the crisis in Ukraine. What the media is ignoring, but what is beyond obvious to everyone else, is that Joe Biden on TV is now a complete horror show. He looks awful, he sounds awful, he says dumb things, and no one can even imagine him having any positive impact on Vladimir Putin. This is so bad that sometimes one wonders who is worse, Joe Biden, or his script writers.
Democrats were left with one and only one viable strategy. Arrest Donald Trump. Put him on trial. Everything is his fault. For four years we heard how the Russia Collusion investigation was closing in on the Don. Never happened. Never came close to happening. Now it has been completely discredited and the people in trouble are those who perpetuated this ridiculous hoax in the first place. Yet, again, in an act of absolute desperation, the MSM has been screaming that the New York Prosecutors are really, this time for sure, closing in on Donald Trump. Then, today, out of the blue, a lightning stroke that shredded the last frail shred of hope. The two prosecutors leading the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation into Donald Trump just resigned. It turns out they haven’t called a single witness is about a month. The new Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, told them he was not enthusiastic about pursuing a case against Donald Trump without any real crime and with zero real evidence.

Ironically Alvin Bragg is the first African-American elected to be the New York County District Attorney. Bragg has promised that he will no longer prosecute low-level offenses such as fare evasion, resisting arrest, prostitution or smoking pot. He also promises to seek lesser charges for burglaries and store robberies. Well Glory Be, he apparently has no interest in pursuing Donald Trump either for poorly defined low-level crimes for which there is zero evidence. Sometimes the Lord works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. Just when the MSM thought the legal system was closing in on the Don, again, one of their left-wing liberal heroes just drove a stake in their heart. We can guarantee the Don is celebrating big time tonight.
The situation in the Ukraine is guaranteed to get worse. No one can predict what Putin will do. but everyone knows nothing Joe Biden does will have any impact on the outcome. Putin is now 69 years old, and perhaps he realizes he is running out of time. Many people, who know him well, have said he is a different person. That obviously makes him harder to predict. This reminds me of a tee shirt, I wanted to buy, but was restrained from purchase by my wiser wife.
“CAUTION. I am now at the age where a life sentence is no longer much of a deterrent.”
Perhaps Putin is wearing the Russian version of that under this suit. Up until now, Putin has managed to invade Crimea and annex it without losing any soldiers. So far, he has done the same in Ukraine. The question is how he will respond if he starts seeing casualties. Russia can defeat Ukraine, but at what cost. Ukraine does not appear to be willing to roll over for Putin any time soon. Russia lost a lot of lives during World War II and the Russian people may not have much tolerance for losing more invading a country that is not arguably a threat to Russia. Will Putin stop short of starting a bloody war. We do not know. But we do know this, whatever Joe Biden predicts is probably the least likely outcome.
I am hardly a military strategist, but it just seems to me that the United States should have asked Putin a simple question. What price are you really willing to pay? For example, you now have 200,000 troops on the border of Ukraine. How many do you have on the border of Poland? Asking for a friend!
We in the midst of a new clear age. For the first time, in a long time, people see what is really going on and they are motivated to demand change. We already know that the big losers will be the Democrats who made this all possible. Now we are looking for the next group of winners.
