I Found this document below circulating on facebook and other social media web sites.

Whilst holding meeting in Odessa, Zelensky and Greek PM witness nearby explosion following Russian missile attack. A bit dangerous, because if the Greek PM had suffered in any way, Greece being a NATO member, could have triggered a big response. Yes. War with NATO.

OH WAIT THIS IS BEING DONE ALREADY.

For years, Jordan Klepper from the Daily Show brought out the best (and worst) of the mindset in voters. I've seen episodes of him at Trump rallies, trying to find logic with the illogical and how he exposed people with total contradictions in their belief about the candidates.
This episode is about Nikki Haley supporters just days before she suspended her campaign after losing in Super Tuesday.
Titled KLEPPER VS. "NEVER TRUMPERS" Jordan, interviews some die-hard Haley supporters who said they would never vote for Trump again. When asked who they would vote for if Haley dropped out... well, their answers are surprising.






Deciding on a blog category had me thinking. Although it's political, it's also comedy, about society, opinionated, lifestyle and more.
I'll go with entertainment.

I'm a short distance from a golf course. On top of the clubhouse is a weather station with a device for monitoring lightning strikes. I've read that Coral Springs (not far from me) is the lightning capital of the world. It's where marshland easterly winds meet ocean westerly winds, causing temperature and humidity changes.

The weather station system has sirens (that can be heard a mile away) to alert golfers of impending danger.

It was dark when I got up to go walking, only to hear rains and the sirens around 6:30am
Thinking who the fuk plays golf in the dark?
Maybe they should put a timer on that device!

A clip of the weather radar showing the storm this morning. It traveled across the state west to east with most of the rain during the night.

I love America and our Culture. I would like to see America’s culture remain unchanged. I do not want to see Marxism in my country.

The Idea of America Lives in Americans not in illegal immigrants who have no knowledge of our history or laws. They broke our laws just being here.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) required a loyalty pledge from the 2024 presidential candidates to endorse the party's nominee and to be allowed on the debate stage. Trump declined to sign and didn't participate (directly) in any of the debates.

Nikki Haley is the last GOP candidate standing against Trump and said she no longer feels bound to pledge her support for Trump if he becomes the nominee.
Stated in an interview that aired this past Sunday on NBC's show Meet The Press, Haley said: “The RNC is now not the same RNC,” adding “I'll make what decision I want to make."

Hang in there Haley... Trump was found guilty of defamation, corporate corruption and is teetering on insurrection, theft of classified documents and an attempt to overturn the Georgia election.

Who knows, if he goes to jail you will become the Republican nominee with a chance to win the 2024 election against Sleepy Joe. At that point... they will be asking your pledge to pardon Trump's sentence.

NOTE: This thread is about the Boston Massacre. All unrelated post will be towed away sooner or later.

On this day in 1770, tensions between British soldiers and American colonists erupt. British soldiers fire into a crowd in an event that came to be known as the Boston Massacre.

For the next several years, an oration was given on the anniversary of that terrible tragedy. Speakers commemorated the event—but also urged their fellow colonists to action.

War against Great Britain loomed. “If you, with united zeal and fortitude, oppose the torrent of oppression,” Joseph Warren asserted in his 1772 oration, “if you feel the true fire of patriotism burning in your breasts . . . you may have the fullest assurance that tyranny, with her whole accursed train, will hide their hideous heads in confusion, shame and despair.”

He expressed confidence that the “SAME ALMIGHTY Being” who’d helped Americans in the past would help again. “May we ever be a people favoured of GOD,” he concluded. “May our land be a land of liberty, the seat of virtue . . . .”

John Hancock echoed such themes in 1774. “I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny,” he declared. He, too, sought divine assistance in fighting British tyranny.

“et us humbly commit our righteous cause to the great Lord of the Universe,” he concluded, “who loveth righteousness and hateth iniquity. And having secured the approbation of our hearts, by a faithful and unwearied discharge of our duty to our country, let us joyfully leave our concerns in the hands of him who raiseth up and pulleth down the empires and kingdoms of the world as he pleases . . . .”

Would our Founders still think we were resisting tyranny? Would they wonder why we don’t seek divine assistance? Would they be surprised that abandoning some of these principles has left us so angry and divided?

In a democracy, those who have greater wealth are able to achieve more or less what they desire. If they wish to become a president or prime minister, they can afford to hire the best people to promote their cause. If they have committed any civil or criminal acts, they can usually pay off those who have suffered or been inconvenienced. They have the best lawyers. In the USA, you would think that such a large and powerful country would have the talent available to provide the best leadership. The talent is no doubt there, but without the wealth, achievement to a high status is difficult or impossible.
The best USA can offer is Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The former will no doubt become president again. The alternative choice is someone who appears to have difficulty with his faculties. Forgetful, sometimes looks in a trans like state, unsteady on his feet.
Should the electoral system change and end the wealthy only candidates? Replace with a public funded arrangement with the best qualified individuals chosen?
In an autocracy, if you have wealth and desire power, and if you finance the right people, eg. Police, military, and gather round you a group who like the idea of power themselves, and the freedom to use it, even if it means the use of intimidation and violence to assist them. Elections are never needed or are rigged to achieve the desired result. Examples of this can be found in China, North Korea, Russia and Iran.
Difficult to ever change this form of power, unless the people revolt and risk their lives in the process.
Democracy takes bravery.

Surveys show that Trump is popular with most women in USA, regardless of his reported behaviour and other activities. He must have the personality and power plus wealth that women yearn for in a man.
