I stopped attending church in the very early 70s, when, as an ROTC cadet, our minister kept preaching about how stopping the commies in vietnam was wrong etc. etc. He was not the only one.

NATO was weakened way before 2016. They’re a figurehead for what used to be a real deal organization. He who remains nameless (for the sake of our rules around here) basically asked the rest of the group to kick in for the check instead of just putting most of it on our tab. If the others involved didn’t like it too bad.

Just look at the Rittenhouse trial. What the Collapsed News Network said, and the actual trial transcripts read - night and day.

I was trying to talk about journalism, or prime example of what it has become. Not which side of the fence you stand on. Journalism, you know "facts" turned into OPINION when the story broke. And then the trial was open for public view. Night and day. And that is why the lawsuits will begin. And he will get paid.

See.............
he mowed some people down, then said it was defense, and got away with murder.
And that is not what a jury of his peers found to be the case. Finally, "those words" will haunt folks when they are forced to cough up some big bucks!

Ukraine invasion stokes stagflation worries because Russia is a ‘commodity superstore’
Commodity prices are soaring Thursday as a result of Russia's attack on Ukraine, stoking fears of a shock to a global economy already struggling with persistent inflation.
“As Russia and Ukraine combined account for 25% of global wheat exports and Ukraine alone for 13% of corn exports, the food price inflation risk stemming from this conflict appears acute,” the analysts wrote.
The worry is that Russia’s naval deployments in the Black Sea could make Ukraine’s ports inoperable, they said, noting that around 90% of the country’s grain exports are transported by sea. In addition, Russia is the largest producer of ammonium nitrate, a critical component in fertilizer, and has already moved to curtail exports of the product, ostensibly to support the domestic agricultural sector, the analysts noted.
Meanwhile, oil prices have surged though military action in Ukraine has yet to result in supply disruptions.

Czech President Miloš Zeman said it was a mistake that he once believed that Putin was not 'crazy enough' to attack Ukraine - calling the autocrat a 'madman'.
The extraordinary intervention came as ministers warned that Mr Putin looking increasingly unstable, after a bizarre address to the nation where he ranted at length about the Soviet Union's history.
Ukrainian MP Vadym Galaichuk echoed this during an interview on Sky News when he said: 'The Kremlin has just gone bonkers.'
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said yesterday that he appeared to have 'gone Tonto'.
One Cabinet minister told MailOnline earlier this week that the Russian premier might have been playing too much 'Call of Duty'.

Boris Johnson today vowed to 'hobble' the Russian economy with a 'massive' package of sanctions as he insisted the West 'will not look away' from the invasion of Ukraine.
In speech from Downing Street, the PM said Vladimir Putin cannot be allowed to 'snuff out' freedom in Ukraine with an act of 'wanton and reckless aggression.
He said Mr Putin had 'unleashed war' on the continent and the West must respond to ensure the eventual 'failure' of his offensive 'diplomatically, politically, economically, and eventually, militarily'. In a hard message to Germany and Italy among others, Mr Johnson also called for countries to wean themselves off gas and oil supplies from Moscow.
'Today, in concert with our allies we will agree a massive package of economic sanctions designed in time to hobble the Russian economy. And to that end, we must also collectively cease the dependence on Russian oil and gas that for too long has given Putin his grip on Western politics,' he said.
'Our mission is clear. Diplomatically, politically, economically, and eventually, militarily, this hideous and barbaric venture of Vladimir Putin must end in failure.'
During a round of interviews this morning, Mr Cleverly told Sky News: 'Ukraine is not part of Russia. The fantasy that President Putin is trying to play out – creating some kind of Tsarist expansionist Russia – absolutely has to be stopped.
He added: 'The military leaders around Vladimir Putin, they must know that this is a catastrophically bad judgment call by Vadimir Putin.
'Ukraine is a huge country physically. I have no doubt the Ukrainian people will be ferocious in defence of their homelands.
'The military leaders must know that this will come at a huge cost – not just to Ukrainians but to Russians.
'They are in a position, even if Vladimir Putin won't, they are in a position to stop this and we call on them to do so.'
Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny said he was against Moscow's invasion of Ukraine as he stood trial from prison after President Vladimir Putin launched an attack.
'I am against this war,' Navalny was heard saying in a video of the in-prison trial published by independent news outlet Dozhd.
'This war between Russia and Ukraine was unleashed to cover up the theft from Russian citizens and divert their attention from problems that exist inside the country,' he said.
Wearing a prison uniform, Navalny said the war would 'lead to a huge number of victims, destroyed futures and the continuation of this line of impoverishment of the citizens of Russia.'
He is being tried inside the maximum security prison where he is held outside Moscow on fresh charges that could see his time behind bars extended by a decade.
His allies have said that the trial - which opened last week - has been purposefully timed to coincide with the Ukraine crisis.
Navalny has been behind bars for a year on old fraud charges, after surviving a poison attack he and the West blame on the Kremlin.

There is no more journalism.
That ship has sailed when all the independents sold out to the media behemoths and the social media sites.
Now all we get is nonstop editorial pieces with spin from those trying to control the narrative.
