SocraticGadfly: Top blogging of May

Top blogging of May

As is the case, not all of these posts may have been FROM May. However, many are.

This one was a hit in its first 24 hours, then faded again rapidly. It was about all the things wrong with small-town high school graduation speeches.

Second? I called out the Squad for being the Fraud on Ukrainian warmongering and militarism.

No. 3 was noting, after the Supreme Court leak, how a majority of Americans are like me on abortion — right in the muddied middle. (It's one reason I blog about it rarely and have never written a paid column about it — it's a good way to get arrows in your butt from multiple directions.)

No. 4 was about duopolist Noam Chomsky going a bridge too far on Ukraine and citing Trump as someone who allegedly solve evernthing, when duopolist lefty Noam was really just trying to own the libs.

No. 5 was the biggie for me: Hank the Knife Kissinger joining Noam AND the NYT editorial board in calling for a negotiated peace. I later added that Pope Francis was more honest about NATO "barking" at Russia than Warmonger Joe has been.

No. 6 was related to No. 1: Small-town values at small-town graduations also aren't that impressive.

No. 7? A deconstruction of David Sirota, who likes to attack "Team Blue" while firmly being a part of it, especially on foreign policy.

No. 8? My Week 10 roundup on Ukraine, which had Realpolitik before Hank the Knife spoke.

No. 9? My musings on the possibility of climate change shit hitting the fan in just 3 years.

No. 10 was my take on the Northern Ireland assembly elections, including callouts of other leftists for talking about a Sinn Fein win when it just treaded water and the Alliance won.
