State of the Union ritual is deader than the Latin mass
I was telling Swamp Rabbit that Joe Biden dodged more issues than he addressed in his State of the Union speech this week. He sounded properly indignant about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but he didn’t seriously acknowledge the concerns that … Continue reading

Long-anticipated coup attempt fails. Game over?
