Where Shall Ye Find Hope? Searching for present-moment hope across a bleak political landscape. We report our conclusions. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell speaks up for the Military Industrial Complex. Reviewing the Biden-McConnell slick “linkage” effort to send more billions to Ukraine by holding Israel hostage. See what they did there? Plus, chastened DeSantis people working hard to preserve their sense of superiority, after having been trampled by reality. The things they tell themselves. Whoopsie Daisies. Propaganda tutorials. Biden urges Americans to set aside “petty politics” to follow his unpopular visions. Any credibility there? RIP Dwight Twilley, power pop rocker. With Great Listener Calls.
