Not surprising

So the mayor of Kreminna, Vlodymyr Struk was shot dead after being abducted..

 

He was Pro-Putin and “welcomed the invasion”

What a surprise that he ended up dead. I’m not condoning his apparent murder, but I can understand it, especially with folks like Ukrainians and Russians…..

There is a time to shut up. He apparently didn’t know when that was. He probably should have left town as well. Promoting and admiring the person who has ordered the invasion of your country makes people ……angry.

Vigilantism is bad, but it happens when war breaks out in one’s home. People have very little tolerance for traitors.

Is that really the reason we have it?

I mean, my understanding was that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was in place to allow the US to continue to operate should a war greatly inhibit our ability to import or extract oil. A tactical Strategic Reserve, not an economic Strategic Reserve.

It certainly isn’t a storage device intended to to keep the price of oil down so that the President can look less bad due to high gasoline prices.

And really, the releases are ineffective, reducing prices only a few days if at all.

 

Am I the only one

That thinks that Joe was just repeating words someone was speaking in his ear?

I’d bet money that he had an earpiece and someone was reading his speech to him and he was simply repeating what was said.

 

INteresting

So Donnie Trump was correct in his “America First” policy.

Of course, now that it is a Biden Idea, it is a good proposal. But when Trump suggested the same thing he was “Literally Hitler”,

Strange, innit? (Not)

amusing….

I mean, It’s like expecting my girlfriend to actually apologize, or even admit she was wrong,….The Liberals just amuse me…

But it’s funny watching them flail about trying to deny that Trump was right about the impotence of NATO because most of the European countries spent their military budget on socialist programs….and not on military preparedness.

And they think correctly:

An “amazing” 62% of Americans think that Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump would have been President.…and meanwhile, 59 percent of Americans said it was Biden’s perceived weakness that had prompted Putin to launch the bold attack in the first place,

Even many Democrats know the Truth. These are probably the same 62% that believe that the election was stolen.

Word is that Trump promised to bomb Moscow if Putin invaded Ukraine. (Remember, the DNC types told us he was Putin’s lapdog when the truth was that Biden was being paid large sums by Russians) Also, word is that Biden said that “the dogs of war would lie sleeping while the deaths of the children were blamed”.

But Joe isn’t all that rational. is he?

‘Twas the banks that made Trudeau back down

It seems that his blatant power grab via the “Emergencies Act” scared LOTS of Canadian citizens….

The freezing of bank accounts (and other property) caused LOTS of folks to decide to withdraw monies from Canadian banks and open accounts in the US. Leaving the (some) banks at close to insolvency. 

What with modern internet banking, there is no reason to have your money in Canada…you can use credit cards to pay most of your bills, and transfer what monies you need for cash or checks to a local account via wire transfers or ACH. Better to keep it in the US where (so far, at least) the Rule of Law still exists….

I am told that in excess of 850 million dollars was moved to new accounts out of the country in the 2 days by private individuals. This frightened the banks greatly.

I expect that the trend of withdrawals will continue, and that the damage to the bank’s solvency will not recover in the near future.
