A puzzle: why aren't Biden's polling numbers higher? War fever usually boosts a president's popularity, and popular sentiment now is white hot and almost monotonically supportive of Biden's stance on Ukraine. New developments and the optics are all in his favor.
But no bump at all for Biden in the polling numbers. What gives?
Talk about crushing yourself into distinctive shapes:
“Are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that America is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back?” Doocy asked.
“What getting walked back?” Biden demanded.
“It may sound like, just in the last couple days—it sounded like you told U.S. troops they were going Ukraine. It sounded like you said it was possible the U.S. would use a chemical weapon. And it sounded like you were calling for regime change in Russia and we know—”
No puzzle about Biden's polling numbers if anyone would honestly look at them.
Most Americans think that Biden isn't doing enough to help Ukraine. The fact is that Biden is more like the pants-wetting isolationists and anti-globalist nutcases -- likes to shoot his mouth off and talk tough, but is catastrophe dangerously weak and ultimately refuses to give Ukraine the help they really need -- than he is like those who recognize the danger of Soviet Russia to world peace and freedom and the imperative of stopping them.

This could be a whole new field of Found Art. You should sell tickets to let people guess what shapes they see, and then give a prize for Most Crazy.
Ice plate tectonics driven by the wind??

When I first saw it, I thought: Why would anyone do that? Then: How could that happen without people?

Look at herring-bone clouds for mysterious forces, anyway if you're not a mathematician.
A federal judge ruled Monday that former President Donald Trump attempted to illegally obstruct Congress as part of a criminal conspiracy when he tried to subvert the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021.

Delightful!!!

He made it, but did not walk back

I’m glad no people were involved in the making of this natural work of art.
We’re already too big for our britches! The britches our brains wear!
Ice worms! Burrowing under the ice looking for unsuspecting hikers to feed on! Run for your life!

The judge did no such thing you complete moron.

“None of the three occurred,” Biden insisted.
