Interesting combo.

Quit Aiming for the Ankles - American Thinker - By Clarice Feldman
"It may seem like small potatoes at a time of political lawfare, gross government mismanagement leading to at least 1,000 dead in Maui, the prospect of continuing war in Ukraine, and high inflation, but the government’s use of its powers to beset us on a daily basis and make life more expensive, less efficient, and more dreary is evident every day.
Two things that come to mind -- and there are, I concede, many more -- are

So I was delighted to see the satire site Babylon Bee prick the Bikeazi bubble:
SEATTLE, WA — In a statement delivered to a line of 100 drivers who had been stuck behind him for the past 3 hours, local bicyclist Florian Skuzz said that he wants to be treated just like a car on the road, but also to just kinda be able to break the rules whenever he wants to.
"I'm an important bicyclist deserving your respect, and should be granted all the rights and privileges of a car at all times!" said Skuzz to the parade of honking automobiles behind him. "But also, I don't carry insurance for when I cause an accident and would like to disregard traffic lights and signs whenever I want. It is my divine right! NOW STARE AT MY SPANDEXED BUTT FOR THE NEXT 30 MILES AND LIKE IT!"...

Incredible the gov-funded "study" makes no mention of the real lies from the medical scammers!-----Alarming Study Shows Doctors Can Be an Insidious Source of Misinformation : ScienceAlert
Alarming Study Shows Doctors Can Be an Insidious Source of Misinformation : ScienceAlert - By REBECCA DYER"A new study reveals 52 US doctors shared misinformation about COVID-19 on social media and other online platforms, including the claim that "most who took COVID vaccines will be dead by 2025."

Biden's Disastrous Withdrawal from Afghanistan Still Haunts the West :: Gatestone Institute
Biden's Disastrous Withdrawal from Afghanistan Still Haunts the West :: Gatestone Institute - by Con Coughlin
Putin is nothing if not an opportunist, and the images of American forces and their British allies struggling to contain the surging crowds at Kabul airport who were desperately trying to flee the country will have confirmed the Russian leader's view that, so long as Biden remained in power, he had nothing to fear from the US.
By ordering US forces to withdraw from Afghanistan, Biden effectively gave Putin the green light to press ahead with his invasion plans.
In every sense, the invasion of Ukraine started in Kabul, so much so that the Russian military build-up on the border with Ukraine prior to the invasion only got seriously underway after the August 2021 withdrawal.
Now, thanks to the utter incompetence of the Biden administration's handling of the Afghan crisis, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and most urgently Taiwan all find themselves struggling to deal with the disastrous consequences of the Biden administration's ineffectual leadership.
