Over the weekend, Saturday Night Live delivered a skit mocking the ICE/Minnesota situation. It bombed despite Pete Davidson playing Tom Homan. Mr. Davidson can be keenly amusing.  He wasn’t here.

That’s because some things are not funny, like two dead protesters, an insurrection against the United States, Sanctuary protections for brutal foreign criminals.

Let me repeat.  Those things have no amusement potential.

Neither does the dangerous open border policy imposed by President Biden. Or Trump officials not accurately describing violent confrontations.  Or dishonest media people using death to advance transparent ideological beliefs.

Not funny.

Sharp satire is badly needed in this country. It can bring relief and clarity.  But real-time joke-making about dangerous situations is a fool's errand, as the old saying goes.

Sadly, there are plenty of fools around to do it.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
