At last a Republican with guts. 'Why are we showing favouritism to the thug, the dictator, the murderer?'

Should have known Dr Evil would return. when will the Alan Parsons Project re-emerge?

An example of Maga stupidity Trump claimed in his speech the other day that the government supposedly spent millions in research to make mice transgender. But it isn't transgender, it's transgenic. By inserting a new gene, (transgene) into a mouse embryo, transgenic mice can be manipulated to carry specific genetic mutations that imitate human diseases like cancer, diabetes, etc, allowing for the study of disease mechanisms and testing of potential therapies. “

Elon Musk disrupted 240 flights with his latest SpaceX rocket explosion. The rocket sent debris flying from Texas where it launched, to as far as the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean, and interrupted around 240 flights, according to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday, causing 171 delays in departure averaging 28 minutes, 28 diversions, and 40 planes to hold in the air for 22 minutes on average with the FAA’s Debris Responsive Area active.

Khrushchev saw the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine as a way of fortifying and perpetuating Soviet control over Ukraine. Some 860,000 ethnic Russians would be joining the already large Russian minority in Ukraine. No gift there. The Ukrainians voted for Zelensky with 73 percent of the vote, the largest tally in the country's history, with a pro-Western and pro-European foreign policy. Even now his popularity is high, higher after Trump and Vance's despicable behaviour last Friday.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: ‘Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED. ‘To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late.’ Donald Trump threatens new sanctions on Russia after latest missile onslaught

The Ukrainians want national sovereignty, freedom and the opportunity to join the EU. Not be under Russian subjugation. The same aspirations as all the other Eastern European countries once suppressed under the Iron Curtain. And Putin's scared the Russians will want the same freedoms.

Nearly half of the country’s attorneys general are suing the Trump administration over the DOGE's mass firings of federal workers. The AGs accuse the administration of terminating tens of thousands of probationary employees without first following federal regulations, including a 60-day advance notice to affected employees and states. 20 states sue Trump over mass firings saying Musk’s DOGE skipped required notices

Trudeau's brilliant response.

Leaders of 26 out of 27 European Union member states approved a declaration supporting Ukraine at the summit in Brussels on March 6. Only Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán refused to vote for this decision, according to Radio Svoboda. The declaration mentions support for the potential deployment of peacekeepers in Ukraine under the framework of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), through which the European Union participates in peacekeeping operations. Orbán's refusal to vote for the declaration means that it will not be included in the official conclusions of the EU summit but rather will be placed in the annexes to those conclusions, "strongly supported by 26 member states." Regarding rearmament, all 27 EU members agreed on the European rearmament plan recently presented involving mobilizing 800 billion euros and includes financing of 150 billion euros for defence purposes. Don't forget EU to use those frozen Russian sovereign assets, £170 billion worth, held in European jurisdiction. Only one country out of 27 did not agree to declaration in support of Ukraine at EU summit

Trump tells Elon Musk he has no authority to fire government workers "According to Trump’s new guidance, DOGE and its staff should play an advisory role — but Cabinet secretaries should make final decisions on personnel, policy and the pacing of implementation,'' Politico reports.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has suggested extending NATO's Article 5 collective security protections to Ukraine without granting the country full membership in the Alliance. 'A just peace requires clear security guarantees," Meloni stated, saying these guarantees must be based on NATO, as it is the only serious means of ensuring security. Sending unspecified military contingents, whether British or otherwise, would be complex, and possibly the least effective solution. Italian PM proposes extending NATO's Article 5 security umbrella to Ukraine

Putin might not want the war in Ukraine to end because he is “afraid” of Russian veterans. Experts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said the Kremlin is concerned about a sudden influx of troops returning home. The report said Russian officials see the demobilisation of Russian veterans - around 700,000 of them - “as a potential threat'. Putin himself has portrayed his image as the only person who can keep Russians secure. The spectre of thousands of convicted murderers and veterans with PTSD roaming Russia committing mayhem hopefully gives the Russian murderer sleepless nights. Putin's 'reluctance to demobilise' could cause downfall and be rapid end to Ukraine war

Trump retreats again. He's full of bovine hot air. Trump backtracks and lifts tariffs on most Mexican goods for a month. Trump said he was granting an exemption on any goods imported into the U.S. that are compliant with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement that he negotiated during his first term. Duh!
