Texas Governor Greg Abbot shipped busloads of undocumented migrants into so called \u201csanctuary cities\u201d like New York, Chicago, and DC. And just when you thought things couldn\u2019t get dumber, this week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, looking to out Trump Greg Abbot, sent two planes of undocumented migrants to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard. Because that\u2019s what we need right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The stupid is back in full force this fall. It\u2019s more contagious than COVID, monkeypox, the flu, and the cooties combined. And it\u2019s everywhere. It\u2019s like the worst reality show on TV. Only it\u2019s real. And you can\u2019t change the channel.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the best reality TV show in the world is the reality of the Ukraine war. And Ukraine is on the march.
