Hurricane Ian ravaged Florida this week and caused enormous suffering. Hundreds have possibly died, a tragic toll that will most likely continue to grow. Millions are without power. The scope and scale of property destruction are impossible to put into words. And while many are stepping up to provide aid and support charitable efforts, much of the country is descending into political squabbles and partisan combat over it all.
For decades the city has held massive commemorations each June 4 to mark the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Today, in another death knell to the city’s democratic rights, there was a high police presence on the streets and the leader of the group that organizes the annual candlelight vigil was arrested.

Well, this was bound to happen. You all know that I’m not a Bill Maher hater. He rips conservatives, yes but has been equally brutal to progressives and the ‘woke’ on campus. He bashes cancel culture. He mocks the speech codes that trigger the far left. And he’s not afraid to call out radical Islam. Maher has been on fire recently, telling the medical experts to quit mixing politics with their COVID theater. He also had probably one of the best commentaries about the January 6 Capitol Hill riot. He chose not to go the lazy route and took a nuanced approach regarding that day’s events and the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt. So, take this one with a grain of salt, folks. And if you’re truly offended, well you’re just proving his point.
