I'm still trying to figure out what exactly they're protesting.

Mandates or no, they must always project the attitude of being aggrieved.

Bingo. They want to feel oppressed and to feel as if they are revolting and regaining their power.

I feel like a celebrity. I was driving home from tennis Sunday afternoon, and I came across some vehicles flying American flags. One of the vehicles had a yellow flag, so I thought it might be a show of support for Ukraine.

Let’s just say I was disappointed.

What does a yellow flag indicate?

I heard they are now protesting high fuel prices. How are they protesting? Sitting in traffic.

Until I read the Twitter feeds about Russki wingnuts I thought all of this was funny.

Not anymore.
