Shalom, friendlies, and welcome back to another epic edition of Laura's Links.
This past week has been a really busy one for me and my house. There's a lot of pre-Jewish holiday action going on and of course, the human inhabitants of planet Earth have also been a little whackadoodle lately also.
As usual, there are a few stories that I saw over the week that I think kind of characterize the state of the planet. In no particular order, they are: the new war starting on Israel's northern border and in Lebanon, that weirdo Zelensky prancing about in America and on government airplanes with strangely war mongering American politicians and "Dr." Jill Biden holding court INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, HER HUSBAND JOE BIDEN THE ELECTED PRESIDENT.
And we are all supposed to pretend that it is totally normal and not absolutely insane and freaky that this tasteless purveyor of elder abuse extraordinaire is pretending to be the president of the United States of America in place of her dementia-addled husband. You know, just look away, nothing to see here kind of thing.
It's bad, America!!! It's really, really bad.
If you would like to hear more of my take on these matters and more, do have a listen to yours truly on the live Clubland Q&A yesterday afternoon on the great Interwebz. I liberated the mic from Mark and had a grand old time while the Great Prophet Steyn himself was occupied with other important matters.
Lastly: as promised on the Q&A, I reached out to our friend Andrew Lawton to get an update on how his political campaign is going and he got back to me right away. This just in from Andrew himself:
"I'm still plugging away. The real fight now is to win the nomination to actually be on the ballot in the next election, but I'm feeling good about things. Canadians have had enough of Justin Trudeau but are also itching for a real conservative alternative, so I've been overwhelmed by the support so far."
That's all I've got for now, homies.
Have a great weekend and I'll see you in the comments as I'm able.
