The thing that I wonder is, on top of all the companies pulling out of Russia, what impacts Russia placing bans on popular apps/business (such as Instagram) will have on the population. The Russian people must obviously notice when they pick up their phone and can no longer send, recieve or view content. Or that they cannot buy products from stores they are used to. When you really sit down and think about it, you realize how much of an impact just not having access can upend someone's life. Propaganda can probably help ameliorate the effects, but I doubt it can wipe the effects away entirely.

The Parish Priest where I grew up always commented that God's concept of time was different than man's. I suppose that was his way of backfilling an explanation for why evolution was real and to account for the discrepancy between the Bible and Science on the age of the earth. Either way, my view is that Catholics generally believe in evolution and the science behind it, although I'm sure more conservative Catholics may differ.

BREAKING: There is, In Fact, Gambling Going on in Here.

Transdniestria is such an incredibly complicated place.... pro-Russian, yet highly reliant on the West as well.

Anti-American

So, who is Al talking to tonight?

Lt. Gen Hertling used the term "cannon meat" on the Bulwark podcast yesterday.... He wasn't kidding. They just don't care about sending their young to die in such a meaningless way

Jeff Passan locked out of his account.... (greaaat.... have to follow Heyman again)

Is today the day?

I do believe he's getting somewhat of a bump... even Quinnipiac, which has been consistently been his worst poll since becoming President, showed around a 5% increase in their latest poll over their previous survey earlier in February Whether that lasts is another story, I suspect that it's a "rally around the flag" situation with Ukraine and may be fleeting.

How Vladimir Putin Lost Interest in the Present

Wouldn't it also basically do away with independent commissions established in states like California?

I just am weary of being too definite on any statements at this point... actions have consistently exceeded the conventional wisdom every step of the way from the moment Russia invaded.

I went to a game there in 2008 while spending a summer working in Binghamton... most rustic baseball experience ever.

They ultimately weren't in Syria? Here? They probably arent... having said that, past has not been prologue throughout this crisis, so who knows.

This number is significantly higher than the testimony given to the House Intel Committee yesterday...

For what it's worth, his visit to the DFW area yesterday seemed to be pretty well received. He definitely needs to be out more in 2022, especially in smaller venues like he was during his VA visit yesterday
