Hi Friends,
I don’t know about you, but the invasion of Putin into The Ukraine (I like that ‘The’ and am going to use it) has made me weary. Not exactly tired. But more like too much tragedy feels. I really do not know how President Joe Biden is managing. I figure the Pope is praying for him. I hear Pope Francis got up and headed down to the Russian Ambassador’s digs for a little chat. That is pretty rare, because the guy is pretty famous and usually people come to him. No disrespect. I converted to Catholicism a few years ago, partly because I like this Pope so much. But back to our President.
Donald Trump has been talking up Putin. Thinks he is a “genius” for getting such a good real estate deal (Ukraine). Fox News’ most popular talking head, Tucker Carlson feels the same way. Well, I have an idea.
If they like Russia and Putin so much, I think they should go over and live there for a while…up to infinity. Of course, Carlson would have to do his show from prison. It appears that is where all the journalists end up.
Okay, let’s enjoy!
Be Safe. Be Well. You & Yours,
Gloria

Biden Rolls Over Peter Doocy For Asking Stupid Ukraine Question
Reporter Peter Doocy was trying to goad our president into anger or a misstep at a Thursday press meeting. But he underestimates President Biden. POTUS may be relatively soft-spoken, but beneath that blue suit is a spine of steel. This is how the exchange went.
Fox News’ Doocy is like that truly annoying person we have coming toward us and cannot avoid. This Fox News Reporter is like that. We know he is sitting among the press members, and everyone waits for his obnoxious question. So after President Joe Biden announced his new sanctions against Russia, the reporter got the president’s attention.
Doocy asked POTUS a question that was based upon a totally false assumption:
‘DID YOU UNDERESTIMATE PUTIN, AND WOULD YOU STILL DESCRIBE THE WAY YOU DID IN THE SUMMER AS A WORTHY ADVERSARY?’
Adam Schiff Taunts Trump For Loving Putin More Than America
Remember when Donald Trump looked into the TV camera and spoke to his buddy Russian President Vladimir Putin while he was campaigning in 2016? He was nearing the end of the presidential campaign and right after the video broke showing him being extremely crude about women. Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) remembers.
Five hours after Trump told Russia to find his opponent Hillary Clinton’s emails, lo and behold, they appeared, C-Span reported:
‘RUSSIA, IF YOU’RE LISTENING — I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO FIND THE 30,000 EMAILS THAT ARE MISSING. I THINK YOU WILL PROBABLY BE REWARDED MIGHTILY BY OUR PRESS. LET’S SEE IF THAT HAPPENS.’
Jen Psaki Emasculates Trump For Choosing Putin Over Democracy
Donald Trump called Vladimir Putin “genius” while slamming President Joe Biden. As his attacks on democracy escalate, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has a response:
‘AS A MATTER OF POLICY, WE TRY NOT TO TAKE ADVICE FROM ANYONE WHO PRAISES PRESIDENT PUTIN, AND HIS MILITARY STRATEGY, WHICH I BELIEVE IS WHAT HAPPENED THERE, EXPRESSES AN OPENNESS TO LIFTING SANCTIONS ABOUT THE SEIZING OF TERRITORY IN CRIMEA OR HAS AT ANY POINT IN TIME TOLD THE G7 THAT CRIMEA IS PART OF RUSSIA REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE A FORMER PRESIDENT, SO THAT IS A BIT OF A DIFFERENT TACTIC, A BIT OF DIFFERENT APPROACH AND THAT IS PROBABLY WHY PRESIDENT BIDEN, AND NOT HIS PREDECESSOR WAS ABLE TO RALLY THE WORLD AND THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY IN TAKING STEPS AGAINST RUSSIA’S AGGRESSION.’
As a result of that invasion, President Biden announced new sanctions, CNN World reported. They were against “Russian oligarchs and financial institutions while vowing that his administration would work with Germany to kill the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.”
Pelosi Taunts Trump After Jan 6 Committee Obtains His Private Docs
Today, The Supreme Court blocked Donald Trump’s lawsuit to keep his records away from January 6 investigators. SCOTUS refused to even hear his case. Although Trump claims three justices, the court could not find its way around something so egregious.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) issued a statement calling out Trump after the Supreme Court turned down his request. She said “no one is above the law:”
‘TODAY, THE SUPREME COURT MADE RESOUNDINGLY CLEAR THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW – NOT EVEN A FORMER PRESIDENT WHO INCITED A DEADLY INSURRECTION. BY AGAIN REJECTING THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S ATTEMPTS TO HIDE DOCUMENTS RELATED TO JANUARY 6TH, THE COURT’S DECISION IS A VICTORY FOR THE TRUTH, FOR THE RULE OF LAW AND FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.’
