NEW: You don't want to read to much into this, and don't want to get your hopes up too high, but it's very wonderful to see how strong the spirit of the Ukrainian people remainsβand that they are counterattacking along the front. And that Russia has fumbled here.

A New York Times op-ed last week boasted libertarians "told you so" about Trump.
But it was only a few, since politically exiled, who saw Trump's rise and said: βYou know what? I think he and a lot of his followers mean it with the racism, violence and fascism.β

A representative of the impartial, uniform rule of law & depersonalized state beings justice to a lawless, backward community run by a wretched clique of local grandees.
Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

Famed Houston crime sketch artist Lois Gibson has released a sketch in the missing person's case of Nancy Guthrie based on a masked person seen on a doorbell camera at her home. In a Facebook post she wrote, "I GUESSED at the parts of face covered with ski mask on this Nancy Guthrie kidnapping suspect. I used the surveillance photos shown. I spent 43 years at job trying to help detectives with similar photos. Only thing somewhat sure are eyes and part of lips/ mustache. I'll take the hit if I'm drastically wrong. Don't criticize--do your own version." bit.ly/ 4tvZvQc Houston crime-sketch

Beyond the difference in harms that accompanies the age limits for booze and voting, there were 26,000+ arrests of minors for liquor law violations in 2019. Itβs a relatively common crime.
There are functionally no arrests each year for in-person voter fraud.
