Their reality is profound and very real. Their lives have been destroyed.

And Putin is disturbed by President Biden's words? It is about time. Putin rather complain about his bruised ego rather than answer for his crimes.

Trump is a Putin loyalist.

A federal judge said Monday (click here) former President Donald Trump intentionally tried to subvert the democratic process and probably committed felony obstruction by attempting to overturn the result of the 2020 election, in a ruling that allowed a House committee investigating the Capitol riot to receive sensitive emails from former Trump legal adviser John Eastman....

Fortenberry is a bozo, too. He invoked Mother Teresa in his resignation statement. He broke the law and invokes Mother Teresa for his lawlessness. Amazing. Perhaps Fortenberry would like to donate his ill gotten monies to Mother Teresa or perhaps join her ministry to carry the word of God forward anyway.

Omaha, Nebraska - Republican U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska (click here) on Saturday resigned from office after a California jury convicted him of lying to federal authorities about an illegal campaign donation from a foreign national.

In a letter to the House, Fortenberry said he was resigning from Congress, effective March 31....

It was probably sea sickness from attempting to hide his yacht.

How dare he come forward with such outrageous allocations of poisoning. Abramovich should be at the front lines and then he will know what suffering actually is. Who dare he try to win sympathy when his country is committing genocide.

I don't care who did it. What I care about is Russia leaving Ukraine.

Below is one of three yachts (click here) owned by Abramovich, one bigger than the next. They should all be seized and sold to establish the trust to rebuild Ukraine from Russia's genocide of the Ukraine people.

Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich (click here) suffered symptoms of suspected poisoning at talks in Kyiv earlier this month, sources close to him say.

The Chelsea FC owner - who has now recovered - reportedly suffered sore eyes and skin peeling.

Two Ukrainian peace negotiators were also said to have been affected.

The Wall Street Journal reported claims the alleged poisoning was orchestrated by hardliners in Russia who wanted to sabotage the talks.

The condition of Mr Abramovich and the Ukrainian negotiators, who include Ukrainian MP Rustem Umerov, has improved since the incident on 3 March, the paper quoted sources as saying.

A source close to Mr Abramovich told the BBC he had suffered symptoms of suspected poisoning. They said he had now recovered and was continuing with negotiations to try and end the war in Ukraine....

Russia states President Biden's speech is alarming. I would hope so.

London - The Kremlin said on Monday (click here) that U.S. President Joe Biden's remark that Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power" was a cause for alarm, a guarded response to the first public call from the United States for an end to Putin's 22-year rule.

"For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power," Biden said on Saturday at the end of a speech to a crowd in Warsaw. He cast Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a battle in a much broader conflict between democracy and autocracy....

It is wonderful Russia has noticed President Biden's speech. I hope the speech, which is intended to bring peace, makes it to the Russian people who are losing sons at an incredible rate. That doesn't even count the Russian generals dying with one even commiting suicide at the reality Russian tanks not in the battlefield were cannibalized for part. There is no backup for the Russian tanks lost in the war with Ukraine. That is an amazing reality that Russia needs to embrace as it faces the truth about it's wayward military endeavors.

It is legal to kill generals, they aren't civilians. So, how many civilians in Russia has died by the illegal genocide?

The war in Ukraine (click here) is proving extraordinarily lethal for Russian generals, the gray men bedecked in service medals, who are being aggressively targeted by Ukrainian forces and killed at a rate not seen since World War II.

Ukrainian officials say their forces have killed seven generals on the battlefield, felled by snipers, close combat and bombings.

If true, the deaths of so many generals, alongside more senior Russian army and naval commanders — in just four weeks of combat — exceeds the attrition rate seen in the worst months of fighting in the bloody nine-year war fought by Russia in Chechnya, as well as Russian and Soviet-era campaigns in Afghanistan, Georgia and Syria.

“It is highly unusual,” said a senior Western official, briefing reporters on the topic, who confirmed the names, ranks and “killed in action” status of the seven....

From article at top of page. The White House staff is being stupid for apologizing for one of the greatest speeches in history. 

...The White House tried to clarify Biden's remarks and the U.S. president said on Sunday he had not been publicly calling for regime change in Russia, which has more nuclear warheads than any other power.

Asked about Biden's comment, which received little coverage on Russian state television, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "This is a statement that is certainly alarming."

"We will continue to track the statements of the U.S. president in the most attentive way," Peskov told reporters....

Even after pinning metals on broken Russian soldiers in wheelchairs that will never fight again; Putin's genocide is being hidden from the Russian people. Even the parents of the dead are still wondering where their sons are.

It is biological warfare. Allow the dead to create health problems. Just put them in mass graves. Let the families cry alone and pick through the rubble that the Russian people sanctioned in their lack of ability to control the tyrant in Moscow. I have no sympathy for a nation of people to allow Putin to carry on with completely unrelenting hatred of good and decent people in the Ukrainians.

When Bush diverted the war in Afghanistan to that of Iraq no one gave him a moment of peace. As a country, those that abhor war, fought propaganda, demonstrated and sought to change outcomes of future elections. And we did. By 2006 the legislative body of the USA was changed to Democratic majorities and we stopped Bush's free reign of terror both at home and abroad. This entire episode with Putin is Satan and nothing short of it and yet the Russian people don't question. I have no sympathies for a nation of people so ignorant to their own realities they passively go about life as if it is perfect.

Remember the Kursk? They laid at the bottom of the sea until sea predators picked their bones dry. This is Putin.

Kyiv - The Ukrainian president, (click here) Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has accused Russian authorities of disrespect towards the families of their own dead soldiers, criticising Moscow for not agreeing on a scheme to have the remains of those killed in action returned to Russia.

Zelenskiy claimed the Kremlin was affording less respect to those killed during its invasion of Ukraine than is usually given to dead pets.

“We’ve all had a moment in our lives when someone has passed away, maybe not even close people or relatives. Listen: even when a dog or a cat dies, that’s just not how to behave,” Zelenskiy said in an online interview with Russian journalists on Sunday evening. “I’m saying this to you as the president of a country that is fighting with Russian soldiers … It’s a war, but they are not animals.”...

Since his election, President Zelenskyy's leadership has been anti-corruption and peace.

Russia's compromise in the face of defeat is nowhere to be found. In that is an unspoken truth that can only be defined as an approach by Russia and allies of a Third World War. I remind there is a meeting of allies in Israel because they were attacked recently by missiles. The USA, NATO and The West needs to end that ideology of aggression and return the world to a dialogue of peace and denuclearization of war. Now is the time to end this ideology and return to prosperity as the dialogue that dominates all issues of potential war. When there is military escalation, even during peacetime, there is potential danger to annilation of civlization.

Strength in the belief in democracy and freedom will end hatred.

 

Russian propaganda is doing it's level best to delegitimize the Ukraine opposition. The Republicans and Russia are on the same page.

Duly elected and lawfully elected President of this country?

I believe the January 6th Committee is doing valuable work. I also believe the Republicans are willing to compromise our constitution in order to win an election. The reason I covered the topic of the legitimacy of Ukraine's democracy and it's decades struggle to rid itself of Russian style and Russian corruption is because of a Republican strategy to win elections by delegitimizing the Ukraine war with Russia.

As is the style of the Republicans, they take an issue and turn it on it's head in order to gain the "talking points" they believe will win votes. The problem with that in this case is that they are willing to destroy the USA democracy in the process of politics. The war Russia began with Ukraine is a war of politics spawned by Putin's ambitions. It is now a war that I believe Ukraine can win. If the Republicans successfully delegitimize the roll the USA is more than willing to play with Ukraine and NATO the country will be at risk of leaning too far to the right and return the autocracy movement begun by the disgraced Former President Trump and his assault on democracy on January 6th.

In this questioning by US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of the Alabama Attoney General Steve Marshall, it is obvious Marshall won't breach his politics in recoginzing President Biden as the duly elected and lawfully serving President of the United States of America. I think it is disgraceful to say the least that such a high ranking state official is so afraid to be honest that he is willing to be deceptive in his answers to Senator Whitehouse.

These are the politics of the Republicans, they are dangerous and quite frankly dishonest and undermining of democracy. I think the American people need to be careful who they elect in 2022. The Republcians are coveting power to use against Americans in a way they have never imagined. I also believe the Republcans play into Putin's hands and he likes it and feels emboldented by it.

Americans need to be afraid, very afraid. War will be prevented not by passivist dialogue, but, through strength of our democracy. The politics the Republicans are engaging weakens our democracy. There needs to be a very strong turning point and now. 

 

Will Smith obviously loves his wife.

It takes great courage and heartache when an autoimmune problem erodes happiness.

I think part of the problem with the so called joke by Chris Rock was that it wasn't pre-vetted according to many trade papers and tabloids (click here)

It appears there is something personal going on with Chris Rock that was never known by the organizers at rehearsals. I don't like the public display of violence between very powerful celebrities on a stage where "the best" are supposed to be awarded for their excellence. But, the so called joke was done in bad taste. 

It is unfortunate that Chris Rock and Will Smith had to make history for the Oscars last night in such a tasteless display of emotion.

The meteor (click here)  that lit up the sky Wednesday night in the Interlake wasn’t the only one Manitobans saw this week.


Astronomer Scott Young from the Manitoba Planetarium told 680 CJOB the province — as well as nearby areas — had the extremely rare treat of seeing back-to-back meteors Tuesday and Wednesday.

“It was all across southern Manitoba — in fact, all the way down into North Dakota and off into Saskatchewan … just like the one that happened the night before,” Young said.

“The timing of these two things — the odds against it are astronomical.

“Usually we might see one or two across that month period, rather than having them back-to-back in the same area. Literally, if you were in the right spot, you could’ve seen this once-in-a-lifetime thing on Tuesday and then seen another once-in-a-lifetime thing the following night.”...

I am sure statistically this is an event. But, in reality, I think it needs to be decided if they are the same rock that may have collided with another rock and split. To me, that is the only logical answer for two rocks following the same trajectory within 24 hours of each other. I think once the two rock reminants are found, if they are found, will have the same chemical composition. Either they were the same rock at one time or they both were spewed into space from the same explosion somewhere out there.
