ON FEBRUARY 24, 2022, RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE. 48 hours later our team of partners were in Ukraine armed with humanitarian supplies and the technology they needed to do the job that they were there for.

Hmm. The Reality Distortion Field has kicked in from an unexpected source: NPR. I just heard a NPR news cast about the Trump vs. Zelensky incident. NPR made it sound not nearly as serious as it was. It was an argument, a disagreement and no mention about Trump telling Zelensky to leave. All the rough edges had been polished off. And this from NPR.
I’m seeing a lot of articles saying that Trump and Vance knowingly ambushed Zelensky on purpose to either get him to give in or as an excuse for Trump to back out of any support. What do you think? Is that likely?
I get the same feeling all the time. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells NPR: ‘Everything feels increasingly like a scam’

Zelensky more than held his own against the two of them. He’s been through 3 years of hell, he’s seen the bodies of civilians gunned down by Russians for sport. Trump and Vance are pampered little yippie purse dogs by comparison. I just regret Zelensky had to go through that.
But it’s better he does not sign anything - anything with Trump right now.

This is worth reading.
And who the heck let Vance in the room, and then open his gob and talk?
That treatment of Zelensky by Trump and Vance was disgraceful bullying. But it was important for Zelensky and world leaders, especially in Europe, to see how much Trump is in Putin’s pocket. Important for Americans to see it too. Zelensky held his own. I hope he doesn’t sign.
I’m honoring the Feb. 28 ‘economic blackout’. No fast food, not buying anything from Big Tech, if I have to shop buy from a local mom and pop, etc.
I stopped in at the Post Office and stocked up (2 rolls) of Forever Stamps, before Trump raises postage prices. Because you know he will.

Oh hell I’m tired of talking about eggs.
