With respect Shchedryk is a song to welcome in the spring "Bountiful, bountiful...." I think it's only a Christmas carol in the West.

Naturally, the orchestrator, Leontovych, was murdered by Bolshevik bandits, probably for loot rather than politics.

Time to stop writing, & reporting a "possibility". The people need to see charges. Consequences. Done with threatening this without actually doing it. No such latitude for immigrants. Legitimate allowances offering protection asylum seekers, denied

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

It’s not enough that Trump and Hegseth are helping Putin and Netanyahu commit war crimes. Now they have to commit their own on top of it.

The Hague is waiting.

He's hiding the Epstein files for the same reason he hides his medical records and jobs reports. And it's not because they make him look good.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

This public inquiry needs to happen. Ex-PM Boozo Johnson 'sat' on the Russia Report for a reason and is suspected of close 'links' to Russian oligarchs. Brits need to know the extent of the Kremlin's 🕷️insidious influence on UK politics & democracy. Please sign👍

Because the Trump regime has refused to keep their crimes against humanity internal to America, they’re going to face consequences for their actions. Even if American voters fail to hold them accountable the rest of the world that they’ve pissed off can.

Seizing another country's airspace is an act of war.

Presidents of the United States don't have that authority. It's a Constitution thing. Have you ever read it?

If he follows through and Congress allows it, we no longer have a Constitution or a president.
