“Vladimir Putin has revealed his true nature, a dictator consumed conquest and willing to spend thousands of lives for his commitment to reestablish the Greater Russian Empire. Anyone who thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine’s border is not owning up to the reality of who Putin is. We need to be clear-eyed about the Russian threat: that Georgia, the Crimea, and Ukraine are merely at the top of Putin’s lists, they are not the only countries he’s aiming for. And by supporting Ukraine, we have told China we will support Taiwan, should they follow Russia in an attempt to invade.” - Mike Pence, former Vice President of the United States, as told to Tucker Carlson of FOX News, March 13, 2023.
Not to defend Vladimir Putin, but are we sure he’s the one who is trying to establish an “Empire in Europe”?
Take a look at this video, pretend you’re Russia, and decide for yourself.
The Expansion of NATO Since 1949
If nothing else Vladimir Putin understands national security and history: The former Soviet Union (now Russia) wanted to control the Eastern portion of Europe after World War II to create a buffer zone between them and the country which invaded them twice: Germany. Today, Germany is (once again) the richest country in the European Union, and may have ambitions to head a possible “European Union Army”.
And as for telling China they shouldn’t invade Taiwan, I’m fairly sure China knows America’s military probably isn’t strong enough to fight two sustained regional wars – one in the Ukraine and another in Taiwan. Some of our own experts are already saying it.
Did You Know? If the nearly $200 BILLION sent to the Ukraine was instead divided among America’s 435 Congressional Districts each one would have received $459,770,114 (that’s about $460 MILLION dollars). Imagine how each district could help Americans with that money. Or, it would be $587 for every single person in the United States.

Thanks to advances in medicine we have inoculations which can prevent a number of illnesses and vaccinations which can reduce the severity of others. But there will always be those who believe they’re the ones most interested in and responsible for their own well being, and not their doctors, politicians, or press.
So, how do doctors try to get as many people as possible to take inoculations and vaccinations?
Well, back in May 2016 Dr. Carol Baker, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics, Molecular Virology and Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas provides her suggestion during a medical panel discussion:
Here’s one of the many parts I want to order to put some pride in my ride:

Did I read this correctly? Order one at $15 and it will be shipped from Amazon in one day, but spend $5 more to get TWO of them and it ships from Amazon in TWO MONTHS?!?
Now when I read “ships from Amazon” I assume some robot in some monstrously ginormous Amazon warehouse picks it off a shelf and places it on a conveyor where some overworked human stuffs it into a boringly brown box and sends it out to me.
Why can’t the robot just pick another one off the shelf? The second one’s got to be right next to the first one, right?!?
I suspect if Lord Tennyson were trying to order this from Amazon he would say:
“I have but an angry fancy; what is that which I should do?”
Thanks for Reading!

As we approach the end of Black History Month (and, by implication, return back to 11 months of White History?) I thought it would be a good time to ask if you’ve taken my short quiz covering some of the many ways the Democrat Party has benefited the black community.
It should be an easy test if your liberal Public School taught you about civics & history but if they didn’t don’t worry: This pop quiz won’t be graded – think of it as an exercise in “self-enlightenment”.
Oh, and if you suffer from “test anxiety” (like I do) take a look at this short video first:
