In a weak bid for the Nobel Peace Prize President Trump met with Vladimir Putin last Friday in Alaska. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to meet with Trump tomorrow in Washington D.C. By all accounts Trump feels Zelensky should cede part of Ukrainian territory to Russia. This would be like if we were willing to give up a piece of Poland to Hitler. Judging by Trump and Putin's firm handshake on the tarmac what else could we expect?
Zelensky looks like he shops at Target. BB once wondered if he even owns a shirt with a collar. I'd go with at least a light gray seasonal turtleneck would look nice. One comedian joked he looks like he belongs on the set of Star Trek. Wonders why he's not taken seriously.
In other news FL Rep. Anna Paulina Luna told Joe Rogan she believes interdimensional beings exist and that she has seen photographic evidence of a spaceship. But are they here legally?
Last time Trump had Zelensky in whitehouse, he berated the heck out of him in front of his loyal staff. Maybe this time he will offer him a tie?
ReplyDeleteVance actually admitted he started that one.
ReplyDeleteI don't like gerrymandering - it's like stealing votes. Whatever happened to one man/one vote? Our old arthritic grumpy cat found out he enjoys being brushed and vacuumed, actually purrs. Who needs Jackson Galaxy and his violin case anyhow?
ReplyDeleteExcept when the Democrats do it.
DeleteMy cats hate the vacuum.
Who ever does it, I don't like it.
DeleteI just have no words. Reading Rise and Fall of the Third Reich for the third time. Some things sound mighty familiar.
ReplyDelete"Peace in our time' Neville Chamberlain, as he gave away Czechoslovakia to der Furher. Neville died of cancer some months later and Hitler shot himself in the head surrounded in his bunker. Over 60 million people dead - including the 3rd Reich.
DeleteFor me when Noem announced there is no longer an age restriction for joining ICE. I immediately thought of the Hitler Youth.
ReplyDeleteWho's the guy pushing for men to vote for their wives instead of letting the wives vote for themselves? They're dismantling so many amendments, why not the right of women to vote? Seems like a natural progression.
ReplyDeleteThat guy is Doug Wilson, lives 40 miles up the highway from here-
ReplyDelete"Douglas James Wilson is a conservative Reformed and evangelical theologian, pastor at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho," Runs a private HS where they learn Latin. Wants to overturn the 19th Amendment so women cannot vote - men are the head of the household. He has satellite churches all over the country. Pete Hegseth is a loyal follower -the tattooed DOD head. Christian Nationalists, want to take over the US, then the world. Well known and unpopular in these parts.
Not familiar with this stuff. Should we be concerned? You can probably find tiny movements of every ilk. Probably big on St. Paul.
DeleteFunny you should mention St. Paul, as i was considering it.
DeleteIt is now thought by biblical scholars that Paul was not anti-woman (he was bankrolled and traveled with a preaching woman). A lot of his written stuff was fake, from the 3nd century as determined by linguistics experts, and Jefferson, who picked right up on it.
It becomes big when high ranking government officials give it air time.
DeleteBB, in point of fa t, I learned Latin in high-school. Dominus vobiscum, et cum spiritu tuuo
DeleteI didn't know Hegseth was of the "get me a beer bitch" mentality.
DeleteBB the scholar. Thanks.
DeleteThe CB zoning effect? Watching some movie last night. Action movie. Kind of getting into it. 10 PMish. Don't know how the movie ended. Digital clock said 12 midnight. Off today so......
ReplyDeleteIn Zelensky's defense, the man is leading a war, not a fashion show. People pitched a fit when Obama wore a tan suit. I wouldn't mind Zelensky showing up in army fatigues and boots. Give that man a break. In honesty he's the real alpha in that room. And Putin, again. Is ALWAYS the enemy.
ReplyDeleteI had a couple years of Latin, as did my son who majored in Medieval History. Favorite - during the high Latin Mass, the priest raises the host and pronounces 'Hic est corpus' (this is my body). The peasants, who don't know Latin, or much else, take this to be religious magic, giving rise to the long lasting and still relevant 'Hocus Pocus". BTW, Saty - you still running over the deer up in your neighborhood, or you got them all eliminated?
ReplyDeleteBut Saty does he go to funerals like that? At least have something in your closet. There's some stately meeting, all the dignitaries are wearing suits and he looks like he just came in from playing handball.
ReplyDeleteIn between commenting here I cut the grass up front along the sidewalk in keeping with Yonkers Code Enforcement, trimmed my hedges which are quite tall and mowed my small yard in the back. Might have to go on YouTube later and watch folk changing the nylon line on their edge trimmers. Most manuals ain't no good. Oooh now my pipe. Chocolate tobacco.
ReplyDeleteI hit #9 not long ago with my brand new Subaru that had 6600 miles on it. $14k damage. I am personally responsible for maintaining the local population. As a side note, it appears that Subaru is the car of choice for left wingers and lesbians.
ReplyDeleteMight wanna consider Car Shield or Endurance. The auto body shops must love you.
ReplyDeleteThankfully hitting a deer is covered under comprehensive so no points on ins, but I am on a first name basis with the state farm lady Lisa and at Kenny's body shop. There is a bear living about a quarter miles away and I feel like it's just a matter of time. Also less than a quarter mile down our road man bitten by a rabid bobcat. 6 rabies exposure in the county this year. Man strangled a rabid coyote with his bare hands. It did bite him several times. We have a pet possum we feed called Robert The Bruce, but they dont carry rabies. Any Bobcats left in Westchester?
ReplyDeleteWe do have bobcats here in Westchester. Saw one many years ago in Brewster. More recently one was spotted in Ardsley. I've seen foxes here and there on occasion. I casually follow the subject of the Eastern Cougar when it comes up. Officially declared extinct but it's a controversial topics because people still claim sightings. BTW the Eastern Coyote is 25% wolf.
ReplyDeleteIf either of you hit or spot a Sasquatch, lemme know!
ReplyDeleteI give Saty the odds on that one.
