Old Man Winter loves to torture us and this year he has included everything, not just humans in that torture…
I am actually hearing bricks crack as I walk. This morning I stepped on some bricks in the sidewalk and heard popping noises. I realized that as we are having thawing, the bricks are soaking up water and as it freezes solid every night, crack…
Remember I talked about fence posts in the Tiny Russian Village exploding?
This last one is from Moscow Sretensky Monastery Choir, it is a bout a man and a horse and very beautiful, if people click on the little “cc” at the bottom of the window, there will be an English translation of the lyrics as it is sung…
I think I see that the suns are hard-coded, but if your player does not play them click the CC button…
Time to get real journalist and real news back. What they did to this boy and what they do to lots of others everyday is sick and needs to end. They have been working under the presumption that they are judge and jury and that they have all protection to do as they please. Journalism has rules and regulations and most of all a journalist should be a position with integrity…
This young man was intentionally walked up to and intentionally crucified for standing and doing nothing. He was not even sure what was going on and his reactions says that. It is basically, “Why this guy in my face?”
CNN is likely to be hit with a massive lawsuit worth more than $250 million over alleged “vicious” and “direct attacks” on Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, according to his lawyer.
L. Lin Wood, who legally represents Sandmann, told Fox News that they decided to sue CNN because it was “more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas” than the Washington Post.
“They really went after Nicholas with the idea that he was part of a mob that was attacking the Black Hebrew Israelites, yelling racist slurs at the Black Hebrew Israelites. Totally false. […] Nicholas Sandmann did absolutely nothing wrong. He was, as I’ve said to others, he was the only adult in the room. But you have a situation where CNN couldn’t resist the idea that here’s a guy with a young boy, that Make America Great Again cap on. So they go after him,” he told Fox News host Mark Levin.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has announced that it expects the US Department of State to explain the actions of one of its employees after a mortar shell was found in the luggage of a US embassy worker in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport.
Following the discovery of a mortar shell in the luggage belonging to a US embassy employee at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow, the Russian Foreign Ministry described this incident as an attempt to stage a provocation.
The ministry said that the embassy worker might’ve been trying to sneak the ordnance into the airport deliberately, adding that they expect the US Department of State to explain the actions of their employee.
Following the discovery of a mortar shell in the luggage belonging to a US embassy employee at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow, the Russian Foreign Ministry described this incident as an attempt to stage a provocation.
“It seems that the United States is trying to test Russia’s security capabilities not just from without, by regularly sending their warships and aircraft on provocative raids near our borders, but from within as well, even by using their embassy employees”, the ministry officials told Sputnik.
The incident occurred in the morning of 9 March when an object resembling a mortar mine was found during the screening of luggage belonging to a US embassy employee at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow.
“Bomb disposal experts who arrived at the scene confirmed that the object is indeed a mortar shell fitted with a detonator but devoid of explosive material, even though traces of explosives were present inside its casing”, the ministry explained.
The culprit himself reportedly claimed that he bought the dud shell as a souvenir for his “private collection”.
According to foreign ministry officials, the man managed to board another flight to New York and safely left Russia, without the mortar shell.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also noted that the American embassy was immediately notified of this incident by police and expressed hope that the embassy will explain the actions of their employee.
The ministry also remarked that considering the level of attention airport security gets in the United States after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the embassy worker had to realize that “a mortar shell in the luggage is very serious”, which means that he “made this move deliberately”.
Either he is stupid as all get out or doing it on orders from his bosses….Either way stupid fits…
It will be interesting to here what the American Embassy says about their employee and his actions…
The truth is leaking out of the Vauxhall | Hidden London keep. It appears that Skripal knew too much personally about Christopher Steele’s Trump–Russia dossier, also known as the Steele dossier, via Pablo Miller the infamous MI6 agent, and Skripal intended to use it as bargaining chip to get himself back to Russia. Yulia Skripal then came over to help her dad’s escape with fake documents to change his identity and hers…
MI6 got wind of the plan and devised a counter plan. They tried to kill her by sending a poisoned bottle of perfume to her with a Russian postmark. Her father immediately spotted the deception and dumped it in a litter bin…
Everything that happened after that initial fakery was just another panicked/rushed/botched cover up with a fake Russian Novichok Attack, compliant cops, nurses and of course the face licking puppy media…
More to come, for The Vauxhall messed up and Russia did it of course…
No kidding though, Russian women do not take any crap and you have seen nothing until you get a Babushka after you…
Doesn’t say much for the rest of the guys, but you can see they are scared of her also. 99% of the Russian men do as they are told, or else….if the guy had just shut his mouth after she cold cocked him the first time (duly so), he would not have been on the floor asking, “What Happened?”
Interesting trip….some fantastic things happened, some great things happened, some good things happened, some bad things happened, some downright terrible things happened, some political issues and some immoral border incidents happened…
But that is for the next few days…
If you want to understand Kiev?
Just think, “I wannabe a European, but you are a poor American Cowboy!”
Well tomorrow I leave for at least five days and maybe as in the past for up to two weeks, or more (One time I spent almost three months in Ukraine). Never set in stone and it counts on what issues come up getting my stuff done in Ukraine…
So as I walked this morning thinking, I realized that it is the first day of spring… 😉
Spring is in the air?
I lost the spring…
Oh well, Russians have lots of hope for spring and they all collectively believe strongly it is spring time. Gotta do something to make Old Man Winter go away…
I talk about my Umidigi A3 Pro as being the best phone I ever had. Being pure Android Oreo, I am able to do what I want to make it mine…
This is why I cannot stand iPhone. They do not hold a candle to Android and having it my way and or your way and or our way…
See the sweetie with a white stocking cap on at the counter? That is Sveta and we are at KFC near us. We went for a long walk all through the woods and decided to stop and fatten back up. We love their chicken burgers and chicken fingers….they are always busy all day and all night…
So maybe I will not post tomorrow. I did get an email from a reader and they sent me links to several videos about Russia. I will look them over and maybe I can post them while in Ukraine. I am going to take the Windows Oyster Tablet with a keyboard (I will not take anything expensive due to border issues in Ukraine.) and will try to get by with that. I am not sure if I will even have internet, last time it was not good at all…
So cheap phone ✔
So cheap tablet ✔
Bag packed ✔
Food for train ✔
Tickets for train ✔
Passport ✔
Books to read ✔
I was told (email from DC to be exact) something special. Maybe like in, “That’s Special….”
Well isn’t that special!
Maybe it is time to sell and start another blog? Are they trying to tell me something?
You got my attention, I am listening…
That thought today:
I have watched the U.S. and the E.U. both lag behind a huge portion of the world in technology. It has happened so gradually that no one noticed it until it was to late and there was simply too much laurel riding….and now I am seeing the scrambling of try to stymie the tech flow that is leaving the U.S. and the E.U. behind…
Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep. – – Ludwig Wittgenstein
