Andrea Widburg Reports

By Rich Kozlovich  

Andrea Widburg Reports will be a regular feature for P&D.  She and Monica Showalter are two of my favorite writers publishing at American Thinker.  Here are the latest followed by some past links.  Both she and Showalter do battle in a lot of trenches and are worth reading.  

Enjoy!

John Kerry reminds us that he too would have been an awful president - There are few more unattractive public figures than John Kerry (although I've been told that, in private settings, Kerry can be quite charming).  He probably would have been as bad a president as either Obama or Biden (although Biden's really in a class by himself) if he'd been elected in 2004.  Currently, Kerry is the climate czar, and, in that capacity, when he appeared on BBC Arabic on Monday, after expressing a pro-forma concern about a potential war, he focused on the real point: his concern that Russia attacking a neighboring country into oblivion might make Putin forget his green energy obligations.  War, you know, is a polluting business........... 

The bombs are real, but what's coming out of DC is theater - I thought and hoped Putin was posturing or that, even if he wasn't posturing, NATO would get its act together and either promise to keep Ukraine neutral or become so threatening that Putin would decide that invading Ukraine was too risky.  Alternatively, I figured that the most that Putin would do would be what Biden called "a minor incursion" and lay claim to the land closest to Russia.  I was completely wrong.  Putin, instead, mounted a blitzkrieg, similar to Germany's attack on Poland in 1939.  The bombs are real.  Unfortunately for Ukraine and, probably, the whole world, what's coming out of Washington is not real at all.  It's just theater........... 

Russia, feeling its oats, turns on Israel - The United Nations is a completely corrupt organization that gives cover to tyrants and pedophiles, and that has made destroying Israel its primary focus.  On Wednesday, even as Russian troops were massed on Ukraine's border, the U.N. Security Council found time to hold a debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Just to show how farcical the United Nations is, despite Russia being poised to attack Ukraine, the U.N. Security Council nevertheless followed its usual leadership rotation, making Vladimir Putin the Security Council chairman.  Thus, Russia helmed the meeting regarding the U.N.'s obsession: Israel.......

A partisan investigation into Trump seems to have dead-ended - At least one criminal case that Democrat activists filed against Trump may be ending with a whimper.  You may recall that there's a criminal fraud case against Trump in Manhattan.  To the New York Times' manifest despair, it seems that there is no evidence of an actual crime.  Things are so bad that two of the lead prosecutors on the case quit when the district attorney expressed serious doubt in the case.........
