Hi my friends,
Okay first off, I have a couple of really good-news stories for this week.
But that said, I also have to tell you that this afternoon President Joe Biden appeared before the American people and said he has “significant intelligence” that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has decided to attack The Ukraine. Our president has shown us how hard he and his administration have been trying for diplomacy but helping The Ukrainians prepare for war. Even so, President Biden said it is “still not too late for diplomacy.”
There must be an autocratic handbook. The Russian president does what our former president did, blame others for what he has done or is doing. It is hard to see how the Russian people can believe Putin’s propaganda. But then, look at what his buddy, our ex-president feeds his supporters. What do you think?
Life sure has handed President Biden a full platter of problems, hasn’t it? As far as that goes, life has not been particularly thoughtful when it comes to us. But we are not surrounded by Russia’s military. I don’t have to learn how to shoot a gun to defend my country. (I really don’t think I could do that) We don’t have tanks launching bombs at our kindergartens.
Today I feel an extra healthy serving of American patriotism. And great sorrow for The Ukrainian people.
Stay Safe. Stay Well, You and Yours,
Gloria
Hillary Clinton Tweets Rallying-Cry To Save US Democracy
A majority of Americans seem unaware that our country could fall out of Democracy in 2022 and right into a Donald Trump autocracy — a dictatorship much like those of his best buddies Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
This potential calamity brought Hillary Clinton back with a warning on Twitter. Secretary Clinton said in her tweet that if we cede Democracy locally, “we cede everything:”
‘WHEN WE CEDE OUR DEMOCRACY AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, WE CEDE EVERYTHING.@DAVIDPEPPER HAS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR DEMOCRATS, AND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR IT.
Rudy Giuliani Confesses To Secret Bedroom Stash Of Spying Evidence
Rudy Giuliani decided this would be the day to reveal a secret stash of Hillary Clinton spying evidence. Giuliani explained to a far right-wing network that he would prove Hillary Clinton had been spying on the ex-president. But why has he been sitting on it for years? Maybe, because it did not exist. Giuliani says he possesses about 1,000 pieces of evidence that no one has seen yet, according to The Huffington Post:
‘I HAPPEN TO HAVE IT IN MY BEDROOM, OR MY DEN, ACTUALLY. I’VE HAD IT THERE FOR YEARS.’
Grey Wolf Put Back On Endangered List Reversing Trump Policy
How could a person take the magnificent grey wolf off of the endangered species list? The Humane Society and other wildlife organizations filed a lawsuit to rectify that wrong.
While in office, Donald Trump decided to take the grey wolf off the endangered list even though a group of wildlife experts tried to change his mind. They said doing so threatened the animal, perhaps out of existence. Obviously, he did not care. It seems the ex-president does not like animals.

Former Trump Executive To Be Deposed Over Mishandling Inaugural Funds
Allen Weisselberg is very loyal to the Trump family. He came to work with Donald Trump’s father and just never left. That eventually led to some very dark times for the Trump Company chief financial officer (CFO). Now, he will have to testify in court.
Prosecutors discovered “a tranche of evidence in the basement of a coconspirator in the Trump Organization tax fraud case.” As a result, according to The Vanity Fair:
‘[WEISSELBERG WAS] CHARGED WITH 15 FELONY COUNTS INCLUDING CRIMINAL TAX FRAUD, GRAND LARCENY, FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS, AND SCHEMING TO DEFRAUD THE GOVERNMENT.’
Hillary Clinton Trashes Fox News For Creating Another Bogus Scandal
He has long talked about jailing Hillary Clinton. Now, Fox News has handed him just the excuse he needs. The network claims that Secretary Clinton infiltrated his presidential campaign in 2016 and spied upon him. But Trump has nothing.
The Vanity Fair article debunked the notion that Clinton spied upon Trump. The former secretary’s tweet read “[Trump and Fox] desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones:”
DESPERATELY SPINNING UP A FAKE SCANDAL TO DISTRACT FROM HIS REAL ONES. SO IT’S A DAY THAT ENDS IN Y. THE MORE HIS MISDEEDS ARE EXPOSED, THE MORE THEY LIE. FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN REALITY, HERE’S A GOOD DEBUNKING OF THEIR LATEST NONSENSE.’

I too feel doom in the air, especially for the Ukraine people, sending despair through the walls where children were attending school. Russia is pushing hard for a war on Ukraine, they are flexing too see how far they can go before Americans and our allies, stand up and say " this means war " we cannot tolerate this kind of behavior and we will fight back.
The people of Ukraine are preparing to fight for their freedom and their dignity, with the aid from their allies, we can stop Putin in his tracks.
Gloria, these are very sad times we are living, first the Pandemic and now Russia's plans to take over Ukraine, I hate to ask " what's next ".
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and current events, it is something we all should fear,I know I do.
