I See a Bald Man Crying….

I hope I’m right about “bald man crying”. I am so disappointed in Vlad. Sorry, I’ve been so preoccupied with taking stock of what’s going on in the Real World outside the local news of the day, that it’s becoming near-impossible to try to keep up with Putin’s idiotic ego trip. He saw an opportunity […]

Multiple news sources are reporting that Ukrainian forces have eliminated a Chechen hit squad sent by Russia to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.  At least some of those sources are also reporting that Ukrainian forces have an alleged second Chechen hit squad under surveillance.
