I was thinking the same thing. Corn pop hasn't been right ever. 1st - 2021 prediction of pandemic and death to the unvaccinated. 2nd - Russian defeat and Ukrainian victory. Wrong on both accounts. Matter of fact, both the unvaccinated and Russia are surviving and doing quite well. FJB and all his ilk!

Disgusting Russian propaganda. Mariupol is a graveyard and there's no official death count as Russia wouldn't let the Red Cross in to see the thousands of bodies from their bombing of civilians there.

Putin's "liberation" of Russian speakers there led to them being murdered in mass. Putin's plundering oligarchs, family and friends were buying up property and building atop of the graves.

Russia is really a terrorist state. People in the US can't conceive of this bloodthirsty barbarism.

Why would Russia trust The Red Cross? They are another farce entity pretending to help but doing the opposite. They are accused of trafficking but that is well covered up, and their humble beginnings aren't what they seem. Just look at their symbolism. The logo resembles the knights of Malta and Templar mafia secret societies' symbols.

Ask a Russian what they think of Putin's beliefs and how things really are for them.

Ask an American what they think of Biden's belief's and how things really are for us.

Then, compare the answers.

I’m losing respect for this entire back and forth — both sides.

Iron Horsey, as I want to treat people with respect and to not ascribe bad motives NOR make unknowable assumptions, may we please have some links? True accounts of specific personal experience can be helpful too.

Furthermore, disagreement & discussion is fine. But you have no idea what I nor what anyone else knows about these things — nor what I (or anyone) can or cannot “conceive of this bloodthirsty barbarism”…or any other, for that matter. Presumptions are not helpful; accusations are stupid. And this all applies to those who engage here (stern stink eye to you all. )

Without corroborating and substantiating citations linked to our opinions, it’s just hot air.

I've shared links. Not too many.

Institute for the Study of War offers a tight overview from their website on developments.It will be deemed a "neocon" source not on par with Rumble grifters. ISW does provide good information however and is viewed globally as a good source.

Solzhenitsyn even passed is another good source. His work addresses well the problems in Russia today especially since the Russian Orthodox Church is led by a KGB man who now claims that Russia's attacks on Ukraine and its citizens is doing God's work. This mentality as you may have noticed surfaces here in the comments. It's attracted these Russians who support Putin's War.

Somebody (that maybe knows something I don't, what the heck do I know? Pffff. Not much!) said something about energy rippling out from earth into the universe. Wonder what that's about? Real deal? Nothing? Hm. Look at those clowns that think they're running the show down there. Omigosh the people are catching on. Ooo, this is getting good. And say, whose idea was it to give money such power all the way back when? Yuck. And now it's all just 0s and 1s in computers. That is so bizarre, and whoops when people get a handle on that one.

Reason and logic have no effect on BNN. My guess is he has a racial hatred of Russians based on the fact that he insists that "The Empire" still exists and apparently will always exist as long as there is one Russian still alive. Actual history has no effect on him. The great empire, the Soviet Union USSR, collapsed many years ago. The real enemy in his mind are the Russian people as they are all monsters who want to enslave the entire world and genocide their neighbors. As long as Russians exist, the Soviet Empire exists. In his mind, a genocide of the Russian people is fully justified.

I believe that you only have to look at the current state of affairs in Afghanistan to get an idea of what happens when the USA moves on to the next thing. Remember how Biden botched the withdrawal?....Many USA troops were killed (and far more were injured, some very seriously but the MSM will never discuss that), our allies were blindsided by the non-coordinated withdrawal, any Afghanis that helped the US were targeted by the Taliban, the Afgani President fled, and the Taliban took over, etc.

Oh, and you no longer hear anything about Afghanistan in the news.

I do feel for the Ukranian people. They are pawns in all of this.

Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I ascend to heaven, You are there;

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

If I take the wings of the dawn,

If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

Even there Your hand will lead me,

And Your right hand will lay hold of me.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,

And the light around me will be night,”

Even the darkness is not dark to You,

And the night is as bright as the day.

Darkness and light are alike to You.

Each in the name of his god,

As for us, we will walk

I wonder if this was also aimed at the nascar driver that liked a meme mocking george floyd and his team suspended him indefinitely.

THAT apology your should get him out of the blacklisted unemployment line….but it won’t. 🤔 Makes you wonder why they keep apologizing when it has no effect on their blacklisting or the smear campaign against them.

The nurse in me went right to the spleen...the organ for immunity and healthy blood; in Chinese medicine a healthy spleen allows for good digestion and mental clarity. The emotion attached to the spleen is worry. The spleen was considered a part of the “four bodily humors: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Black bile was believed to be secreted by the spleen, causing feelings of disposition ranging from intense sadness (melancholia) to irascibility.” Healthy and strong spleen Qi keeps one from becoming splenetic 😉

Local TV weather people have started pushing the "feels-like" temp as the basic thermometer temp. Manipulation of science getting pretty obvious. We've lots of practice.

Literally making feels more important than data.

Yes very telling and very typical. I agree with Fla Mom that it’s important for gauging how you’ll feel when doing activities outside, but if they’re using it to skew the perception of what’s happening to temperatures and comparing apples (measured temperatures) to oranges (real feel) to accomplish this, then it’s just another form of propaganda.

That is their whole MO, with everything. Transition necessary because the feels are too scary. Puberty delayable because same! Teach about racial injustice and inequity (and get some depressed, or angry, or guilty feels) because plain old math just FEELS so oppressive (to like, this one DEI consultant who flunked it as a kid). No more gas stoves because we FEEL so much for the poor planet, no more meat because we FEEL so much for the cows and chickens.

It wouldn't FEEL so infuriating to me if they weren't also at the same time claiming to be the only true upholders of The Science®, when really all they do is cherrypick data to find whatever matches their feels.

Or flat out just make it up.

Hell, they name thunderstorms down here now. And yet I'm bombarded with sales pitches for the God forsaken local news around here. Especially that horrid rag from Orlando. What a royal pos that thing is.

I remember worrying my car would not start in the -bazillion wind chill factor one winter until my then SO explained cars don’t feel the wind chill. 😂😂

You are supposed to take the temperature off some feet from the ground, not in direct sunlight over tarmac, etc etc etc

2m above ground level in the shade *was* the standard.

For those of us who do some of our work outdoors, it's the real temperature. It should be made clear that the reading is the one that takes humidity into account, but it's the temperature that matters, if you're out there.
