Volodymyr Zelensky Should be Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize—Lawmakers (newsweek.com) The expired deadline for accepting nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize should be extended so Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky can be considered for the award, a group of European politicians have said. The Nobel Committee has been sent an appeal to re-open the nomination procedure and push the deadline of January 31 to March 31, so that Zelensky and the people of Ukraine can be considered for the award. “Although we are aware that this is a break with procedure, we do believe it is justified by the current unprecedented situation,” said the… Read more »

I now know my home is well protected from Mus musculus, house mouse. I had a YouTube video running in the background while working. Chunky was curled up in my arm doing kitty sleep.

Texas thinks it’s going to bully Chase and Wells Fargo? I’m thinking gnat, flick is going through the top execs in those companies right about now. And I’m guessing that the Cubans and Waltons and Musks of the world aren’t going to stop doing business with 2/3 of the top 3 banks, which hold assets of $4.62T. If the billionaires in Texas (there are 27) continue to do business with Chase, etc., this stupid legislation is as hollow as an empty crude barrel.
“But any people, and even more so the Russian people, will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors, and simply spit them out like a gnat that accidentally flew into their mouths, spit them out on the pavement,” he said. For Tatiana Stanovaya, founder of the political analysis firm R. Politik, Putin’s speech proved the leader’s plan has derailed. “It seems to me that everything is starting to crumble with Putin. This speech of his is despair, strong emotion, impotence,” she wrote on her official Telegram account. Pointing to the situation in Russia, Stanovaya argues that… Read more »

Nothing like giving away 5 Bucks a head to get people to attend your rally . Then watching them turn right around after they get their tickets punched.

That Putin 2 hour event last Tuesday that Frontline did , had this nugget in it-
He watched the capture in that culvert of Muammar Gaddafi over, and over again.
Let us all hope when he orders up their nukes, the Generals will save all our asses.
Has Vlad done a rally like this before, because it looked for all the world like he was copying Orange Adolf. Quoting the Bible was a disgusting touch. The bastard should burst into flames.
That coat was to make his body look swole. Is his face puffy from steroids or too much wrinkle filler?
Putin sees people on a chess board as pawns .
They can’t move fuel to their tanks , let a lone bring their dead back home.
All this fighting he has done was on tiny poor victims.
In fact , the Russian Army hasn’t fought a land war for 33 years .
We on the other hand , have over 20 years . Of lessons learned.
From people than can really bite your ass, wearing used knock-off Nike’s.
Anyone who believed we would get out of Afghanistan clean is a fool .
Everyone remember all those helicopters we dumped overboard ?
Wars do not end in a bow tie.
They end when one side is spent.

He watched the capture in that culvert of Muammar Gaddafi over, and over again.
Let us all hope when he orders up their nukes, the Generals will save all our asses.
That rally he did , he was wearing a $3,000 coat.
So the latest guess of Russian dead is 7,000 , and 4 generals.
In 3 weeks .
This larger that all the blood we spent in the last 21 years.
Has Vlad done a rally like this before, because it looked for all the world like he was copying Orange Adolf. Quoting the Bible was a disgusting touch. The bastard should burst into flames.

In another time we would have seen their fate over this winter.
Not today . I am guessing the “used knock-off Nike’s”.
Did a pretty bad job of running their country.

Blue –
He was an only child in a one room flat, this is why he don’t play well with others .
He made a world in his head. Hitler was an only child as well.
The one thing we learned, Putin is not an evil genius.
He’s a paranoid mad man. Doing dog and pony shows .
Little wonder Trump loved him. Aside from the Russian whores pissing on him.
