Not the Government for the People
The Russian population of Crimea revolted against Ukraine years ago and installed a Russian authority. (Technically, Russia invaded and did that, but you get the idea.) Now their “saviors” have halted fuel sales to individuals and businesses because Russia is at war with Ukraine and Ukraine keeps hitting their oil and transport infrastructure. Imagine that ... no gas for anything. It’s good to have a government that takes care of you ... unless, of course, you’re in Crimea. (Crimea sticks out a bit from Ukraine. The river that separates it is called “Crimea River” ... right?)
Balanced Reporting?
The news you hear is that Israel is messing up the Iran agreement by attacking poor defenseless Lebanon. In truth, Hezbollah continues to attack Israel and Israel continues to defend itself. What I want to know is why our media is not reporting both sides of this engagement and only telling us what they think Israel is doing wrong? Oh … wait … I think I can guess at that answer. Media bias.
Balanced Concerns?
Columbia elected Abelardo De La Espriella as its new president on Saturday by a slim margin. He’s a lawyer, never been in office, and “far right” which means that the people are now concerned about climate and environmental and human rights groups issues. You know … the people that elected him. You know, the people that are concerned whenever the leftist issues are in jeopardy. Like every election … in either direction. We’ll watch and see. But don't think these are balanced concerns. They are, as always, biased concerns.
Important News
The 1,000th World Cup match was played between Japan and Tunisia … because, I guess, with all that's going on in the world, kicking a ball around for people to watch and not participate is of vital importance.
Not Everything is Peaceful on the Eastern Front
Given Iran’s peaceful attitude after signing the agreement, it seems odd that the U.S. would carry out strikes against Iran on Friday. Oh, well, sure, Iran attacked a cargo ship and continues to try to dominate the Strait of Hormuz. Sure, they are still angry that Israel is defending herself … I’m sorry … not laying down and dying when Hezbollah attacks. But surely our best tactic would be to pay them $300 billion and then let them do what they want … right?
Your Most Reliable Source for Fake News
For some reason the Bee thinks that President Trump is coming to the conclusion that Iran may not be as trustworthy as he originally thought. I can’t imagine why. After the New York primary, New Yorkers are excited to see how this new kind of never-before-tried system called “socialism” will work out. What could go wrong? Meanwhile, Cubans living in New York are boarding rafts to escape communism … again. On the Left Coast, Governor Newsom is addressing the $18 billion budget shortfall by raising the income tax to 110%, I mean … what’s a government to do? Not spending more than you have is out of the question.
Must be true; I read it on the internet.

“Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it!” LOL! (Poor Crimea! They probably see their issues dismissed that way by sarcastic Americans all the time.)
P.S. I will be watching for hidden jokes in your News Weakly blurbs going forward.
Yes, that was my joke, but ... just to be clear ... Crimea is actually a peninsula and no "river" separates it from Ukraine. I just did that line for the pun. In case anyone thought I might be serious about "Crimea River."
