[My ongoing reunification commentaries saga with The Union augments what we’ve discovered in these pages – that grassroots leftwingers have no clue about the kind of America that their elite leadership has chosen for us, and are now implementing through a bevy of misguided policies not experienced in decades. They’re ignorant of it because their more recent schooling did not reveal collectivist objectives, or because they only consume lamestream outlets which dutifully deny that the Democrats seek to instill the trappings of collectivism in the America they intend to uniformly pauper (equity) with their socialist nostrums. These assume the classic historical format of the Left, applied devastatingly over the last century, that includes summarily politicizing science, education, and economics to fit their overarching narrative. gjr]

When it comes to total day viewers, Fox News was the only basic cable network to surpass the one-million viewers plateau with an average of 1.2 million. MSNBC finished second with an average of 842,000 and ESPN finished third with an average of 764,000 viewers. HGTV and CNN joined them among the top five, but CNN’s 569,000 average viewership was less than half of FNC’s audience.
CNN had its worst week since Sept. 2019 and has finished behind both Fox News and MSNBC in the total day category for 14 consecutive weeks. “Reliable Sources” wasn’t the only show contributing to CNN’s problems, as “CNN Newsroom,” “Don Lemon Tonight,” “Erin Burnett OutFront,” “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” “The Situation Room,” “Cuomo Prime Time” and “New Day” all hit yearly lows in various categories.
CHRIS CUOMO AND HIS PROBLEMATIC YEAR AT CNN
The troubled “Cuomo Prime Time” had its worst week across the board as namesake host Chris Cuomo has been engulfed in a series of embarrassing scandals that forced even liberal observers to bash the lack of journalistic ethics at the network. Cuomo, the little brother of embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D., was forced to address a stunning report from the Washington Post revealing he participated in strategy sessions earlier this year to address sexual harassment allegations against the governor.

“This wave of anti-Semitic violence will increase the difficulty of that work,” argued Goldberg. “The Zionist right claims that to assail Israel is to assail all Jews. Those who terrorize Jews out of rage at Israel seem to make their point for them.” [No shit, Sherlock]…….

‘Merkel Flips Off Biden’s Protest—to Buy Putin’s Gas’
“When the U.S. created NATO, a primary purpose of the alliance was to serve as a western wall to defend Germany against the 400,000 Russian troops on the eastern side of the Elbe River. Seventy years later, Germany has decided to double its dependence on Vladimir Putin’s Russia for the natural gas needed to run the German economy, despite the opposition of her great protector, the USA. The Biden administration decided to waive sanctions on Matthias Warnig, the ally of Putin whose company, Nord Stream 2 AG, is laying the pipeline beneath the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany that is now 95 percent complete. When done, Nord Stream 2 will make Moscow Germany’s principal supplier of natural gas, and cut Kyiv out of hundreds of millions in transit fees it annually receives for letting Russian gas pass through Ukraine to Germany.
Previously, Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken had seemed resolute in opposition. Said Blinken:”

California regulators told state legislators this week that they would ask consumers to conserve energy this summer to prevent blackouts.
“It’s great if people do what we want them to do,” said Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda). “But it’s a big ‘if’ and one of the most unreliable aspects of this to me.”
The situation could mean Newsom will have to rely on Californians to limit their electricity usage and, if outages occur, not to point the finger at him

Bannon previously pled not guilty to charges alleging he and three other individuals defrauded people who made donations to construct a border wall.”
