□ [“Jake Tapper’s CNN Ratings Collapse Despite Biden Book Buzz and Media Tour"]

He's out trying to make money selling a book about all the things he could have reported on his show but didn't.  For some reason that doesn't encourage leftists to watch his show.  For some other reason, I'm guessing he doesn't appeal to other viewers at all.  Or rather, he didn't appeal to them, they'd have the same reason to ignore him now.

This is another example of the media damaging themselves by trying and failing to help their leftist masters.  They lied to their audience about Biden until he was out of office, now they're trying to ignore that and use it against Trump.  But the audience isn't there for it.  Credibility is easy to wipe out and as leftists, they think that doesn't apply to them.

They're not even willing to include what Biden's staff would have done to these reporters if they'd told the truth about this years ago, that's why they accused everyone of pointing out Biden's senility of being 'fake news.'  They could even report how CNN prevented them from telling the truth, although I guess that would mean looking for a new job after reporting that.  But at least they'd be informing their audience, isn't that what they're paid for?

□ [“Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Quietly Working to Reverse ‘Sanctuary City’ Policy"]

I'm sure it's also happening elsewhere although DC obviously would get the most attention.  For some reason, a lot of people in DC are connected to the federal government so they could put out info on what'll happen to mayors to do this "sanctuary city" nonsense, and might even point out that the voters are against it too.  She save herself or she can save non-whites who break the laws to get into this country, but not both.

The Supreme Court just ruled 7-2 that Trump does have authority to kick 'temporary workers' from four counties out of the US.  I've heard it's not as solid a win as we'd like but I will give the Supremes credit for mostly going along with the POTUS step-by-step.  It's possible these suits were planned and scheduled to build towards an actual definition of the executive branch's authority in this matter.

Why isn't Congress trying to make these laws official?  Might not have a majority but there are at least a few congressmen who support Trump.  Even if they can't get any bills up for a vote, they could at least be making noise and pointing out that they're failing the legislature in the short time Trump has in office.

□ [“Russian Carves a De-Militarized ‘Buffer Zone’ in Sumy and Kharkov Regions Ahead of Summer Offensive"]

Haven't heard about these regions in the war.  I get that Russia needs to find new ones to conquer, but then why would they be setting these up as 'buffer zones'?  It's like they have actual plans and are following through with them because nobody's going to prevent it.  Trump doesn't seem to be getting anywhere and I haven't heard that he's officially stopped trying.

The EU isn't getting anywhere either.  Germany is threatening Hungary and Slovakia with a loss of EU funding if they don't obey regarding this war.  This is getting to a point where the nations that disagree must be allowed to leave freely or, how to put it, Germany will invade them.  Let's just say that will not help the EU's reputation at home or abroad.

Like it or not, Russia has won the war for a long time, they just haven't bothered to impose it for some reason.  It's fine to hear about the EU collapsing but now Trump is increasingly stuck in this tar baby.  To an extent, he wanted this job and that's part of it, but he's not going to get any support across the board so why is he bothering?  Putin has dealt with him for a long time so Russia has probably also worked out what to do with Trump as POTUS, and had the last four years to prepare for that.
