Honestly, I would rather an audience of one, educated, erudite, compassionate, life adventuring enquiring mind, with a passion for sharing their journey, helping to inform my thoughts and opinions with insightful commentary. Who needs anything more than that?

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.

It is possible to have strong leadership that values compassion; that holds fast in the face of populist simplicity and stands, front and centre, with compassion to protect Our most vulnerable. It is possible to lead by example rather than follow in the shadows of ignorance and hate.

This is America! The skin deep facade, a cosmetic gloss over decades of moral and intellectual decay; vestiges of power staged as theatre: A rapist’s teeth (too white) dazzling unashamedly in their criminality; taut faces failing to mask aging reality.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Yinka Bankole was 12 when Farage spotted him in the playground:
“He towered over me. ‘Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’.”

Selective Truth Telling is not unique to the criminal rapist’s fascist regime.
The lack of functioning checks & balances (the gop majority congress, & corrupt scotus) is not unique either; nor are the blatant lies…

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.
