Any further misunderstandings between Russia and the Western nations will be chalked up to — you didn’t read what I wrote — In July 1994, one of my first meetings was with then-Mayor Anatoly Sobchak. At this meeting was a nondescript, even small man with a wire-like intensity, making me think he would jump into action or attack at any moment. His name was Vladimir Putin — the future “czar” of Russia.

And for it, he deserves another Nobel Peace prize — If you haven’t seen Gore’s outburst on the stage during the “Leading the Charge Through Earth’s New Normal” panel discussion at the World Economic Forum’s 2023 Annual Meeting, then I highly recommend you watch it. Love or hate him, the man has more passion concerning the changing climate than probably…

To begin to understand ‘how did we get a Trump,” historians should start with the DeVos and Van Andel MLM brainchild — Historians will be pondering for years, how did the phenomenon of Donald Trump happen in the United States. Many will look to the end of the actual years of Trump, and at the most extreme elements of his following, and say it was all based on racism. …

We are taking one of the greatest countries in history and destroying it by letting extremist dummies ruin it — The glory days are over. We can almost start pretending they never happened. The generation that stormed the beaches in Normandy and hit the islands in the Pacific is now in the history books, except for the last few hanging on for dear life in nursing homes. The sad thing…

The rhetoric was laughable, but sadly, some in the weaklings in West will again likely pay attention — “If you insist on the battlefield, OK, then let’s decide it on the battlefield.” These are the words Sergei Lavrov spoke at the United Nations last week during his delusional reading of how things unfolded in the world before Russia launched its war of genocide in Ukraine. Like the rest…

This is why words must handled with the same care we would give an egg that has fallen from a bird’s nest — As a kid, I recall the commotion that a single lost egg from a bird’s nest could kick up in our neighborhood. Huddled in a hushed mass, as many kids as happened to be out at the moment playing — without parents in tow — that’s how many would be…

Are we still a shining city on a hill? — Lauren Boebert, one of the more insidious Republicans to be occupying a seat in the House of Representatives, couldn’t stay in her seat at a theater in Denver the other night. With boobies hanging out, partly due to her date grabbing at them like a hungry puppy, and who, by…

I still enjoy my experiences on the site, but the user experience has definitely taken a hit — I am genius — I mean, a genius. And not just your run-of-the-mill hardware store variety but a “level 3 genius.” This means I have spent a lot of money and time using Booking.com. It’s fun to go back sometimes and look at my many trips. I can recall the…

Putin’s Ukrainian gambit might finally be putting an end to the Soviet Union — Since 1992, Russia has let the world know that it won’t tolerate any fiddling around in the affairs of the countries that used to be the republics of the Soviet Union. If anyone did anything Moscow didn’t like, heads rolled. Russia’s failure this week to do anything to prevent the…
