Old news, that I heard about, but the meme reminded me of it.

Oct 7, 2022 During a recent interview Swiss diplomat and former NATO advisor Jacques Baud acknowledged that, in his words, “nobody cares about Ukraine,” tacitly admitting that the West is not assisting in the war to support Ukrainian sovereignty or minimize the suffering of the Ukrainian people. No, Ukraine is merely a patsy and its people are providing cannon fodder in the proxy war NATO is waging to undermine and marginalize Russia – just as critics have argued all along.
Jimmy and his panel of Pushback host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why the truth about the Ukraine War is kept from the western audiences whose tax dollars are funding it.

After meeting with at least 50 members of Congress, soldiers of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment toured the US to auction off swastika-inspired patches and lobby for an end to restrictions on US arms and training.

Biden administration declares monkeypox a public health emergency
Monkeypox is transmitted person-to-person, usually through close contact with respiratory secretions, infected skin lesions or recently contaminated objects, according to the World Health Organization.
I suppose if they handed out condoms, Republicans would accuse them of promoting sex. 🤷🏼♀️
But we also know — look, COVID is — you know, a lot of us, by now, have done COVID isolation, 10 days, even five days. It is incredibly difficult. It is costly. Sometimes you miss out on work. Sometimes you have to get a hotel to isolate in. It is really difficult to do. Here we have an isolation with monkeypox that is two to six weeks. That is incredibly disruptive for people’s lives. We’ve been having to crowdfund to get people the money that they need to take time off work. We need emergency funds and hotel rooms so people can properly isolate to prevent the spread. And none of that, none of those funds and resources have been coming from any level of government.
Two to six weeks! 😳

Former federal prosecutor Mitchell Epner, now a partner at Rottenberg Lipman Rich PC, predicted Bannon would have little room to mount an appeal before having to serve his sentence fully.
“Bannon never put up a legal defense, only an attack on the legitimacy of the process,” Epner noted. “He is now facing a mandatory minimum of 30 days in jail. It will take 3 months to get to sentencing. The question is whether Judge Nichols will grant bail pending appeal. Absent bail, Bannon will have served his time long before an appeal could be briefed, let alone decided.”
Sentencing has been slated for Oct. 21, 2022.

Automatic Rifle vs Assault Rifle – Here’s the Difference
I would hope that veterans of war, like Tammy Duckworth and Pete Buttigeig, would know the difference between a semiautomatic rifle and an automatic rifle (which IS a weapon of war)! Of course, they’re being deceptive!
