The Other McCain is up first with an update on the war. Russians Cut Off at Lyman UPDATE: Russia Announces ‘Withdrawal’

The headlines say the Ukrainians have the Russians “surrounded” or “encircled” at Lyman, although from what I gather, the fact is that the Russians are cut off — can’t retreat, can’t get supplies or reinforcements — because the Ukrainians have all the routes into the town within artillery range, which is almost the same thing in a tactical sense, but not what most people think of when they see the word “surrounded.”

The Post Millennial - Starbucks and Seattle Times send legal threats to Republican Senate candidate after she exposes high crime rates in city

Pirate's Cove - AOC Seems Upset That Tents For Migrants Would Go Up In Her District. How do you spell "hypocrisy?"

I’m sure she’s fine with the tents in other districts. Just another case of an open border liberal wanting all those illegals/migrants to be Somewhere Else.

Tam at View From The Porch - History Repeats Itself...Sorta

We're 1,490 years past the Nika Riots, and the local chief of police probably isn't named Belisarius*, but man I got a twinge of history on hearing the news.

Ann Bauer I Have Been Through This Before. Bruno Bettelheim and Autism. Anthony Fauci and COVID-19.

Don’t wear a mask; you must wear a mask. Buy a pulse oximeter. Stock up on Tylenol, vitamin D, Pepcid. Whisper so you don’t spit. Stand six feet from others—no, 10. Wear gloves. Wear two masks! Open the windows. Close the schools. The dizzying madness of COVID, and the reliance on gurulike experts, has been eerily familiar.

Rebel News - Republicans lodge complaint with FEC over Google's alleged suppression of political emails

And another update on Ukraine from The Other McCain - BREAKTHROUGH: Ukrainian Forces Smash Russian Lines East of Kherson

The Russians have committed a basic strategic error, fighting what is in essence a two-front war, with Ukraine holding interior lines of communication between the northern and southern fronts. So the Ukrainians can strike in either direction and, if Russia tries to move troops from the Kherson front to bolster its position in the north, this creates opportunities for Ukraine to strike the weakened lines in the south. And vice-versa, obviously.
