Bit more info on him here when the Sun caught up with him in Kanchanaburi 2 or 3 years ago. And after The Sun tracked David Armitage down to his remote home in Thailand – where he moved after she vanished - he made his position over her death perfectly clear. “I’m bored with it all,” he said. “I just want to get on with work.” https://www.the-sun.com/news/495013/lady-of-the-hills-husband-says-hes-bored-of-it-all-as-he-faces-fresh-probe-over-mysterious-murder-of-thai-bride-wife/

"Russia's foreign ministry rejected the reports." Which obviously means they are true............ US 'deeply concerned' by reports of Russian plans to take over Moldova The allegations had concerned the White House, with its national security spokesperson John Kirby saying the move would "certainly not be outside the bounds of Russian behaviour". Though rumours of the Russian takeover plan couldn't be independently verified, he said they were "deeply concerning". https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-us-deeply-concerned-by-rumours-of-putin-plan-to-take-moldova-12541713?postid=5427992#liveblog-body

More hate directed at Rihanna at the Super Bowl, this time started by far-right conspiracy theorist Stew Peters BASELESS RUMORS ABOUT RIHANNA BEING A DEVIL WORSHIPER DEBUNKED The baseless rumors took over the internet after a few fans noticed the singer wearing red attire. Some were quick to connect the color to the devil. Meanwhile, there were others who thought Rihanna’s belt depicted the star of the pentagram, which is often connected to Satan. This theory first became popular on the platform when American personality Stew Peters posted a picture of Rihanna from the show and wrote: “How will the masses know we’re worshiping satan? Easy. We’re going to put a pentagram on your devil suit.” https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/02/13/baseless-rumors-about-rihanna-being-a-devil-worshiper-debunked/ Did Rihanna Wear a 'Satanic' Pentagram During Her Super Bowl Halftime Show? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rihanna-satanic-pentagram-super-bowl/

Looking just at graphs is out of context when you don't read the accompanying reasons for the data. "Conclusion It would be a misrepresentation of the finding to say it is evidence against vaccination. This finding actually underscores the importance of staying up-to-date on boosters."

Michigan State University police say a suspected gunman has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following an on-campus shooting that left at least three people dead and five others hospitalized. https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/michigan-state-officials-say-suspected-gunman-dead-of-self-inflicted-gunshot-wound-163310661550

Trying to get some positives from this report is not easy, however: "Overall, 22% of high schoolers said they have considered suicide. That is somewhat better than the 29% when the CDC first began its biennial survey in the 1990s, but is an increase from the record low 13.8% tallied in 2009." "While many of the trends have substantially worsened over the past decade, the report's authors do point out that a handful of indicators are now moving "in the right direction." Social media obviously plays some part in this however its complex and there are a multiple reasons mentioned in the article. Schools play a huge part in combating this and need the resources to do so. Social media is not going away however it needs to be censored where appropriate and quite rightly is. Twitter is the only platform that allows porn and no verification needed for signing up. There's an easy fix for this do as all the other main social platforms. Ban it.

Live updates here: https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/michigan-state-university-shooting-updates-2-13-23/index.html Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson described the heartbreak and horror at Michigan State University as "unfathomable." "Holding the entire MSU community in my heart," Benson tweeted. "This repetitive terror cannot continue. We must come together and do whatever it takes to protect our kids & communities from gun violence."

Now if anyone has been doing some free thinking (i know, i know, it's dangerous and bad for democracy) they will have concern that shooting down possible nuclear powered objects Your free thinking has got the better of you............lol The Republicans: Your a wimp Biden shoot down the balloon Biden: I just shot down 4 The Republicans: OMG why did you shoot down UFO's

Don't think they have high res camera's? But they do have a targeting pod that transmits images. The full audio of the two F-16 fighter jet pilots is in this link, very interesting and detailed although the pilots are themselves very confused as to what the object actually is. Here's a few snippets: “Looking outside it’s like a black-ish, I’m gonna call it like a container, can’t really tell though what the shape is,” one pilot says. “I’ve got a tone,” he adds, indicating that the AIM-9X locked on and that he has a “good track but can’t see through the glare of the cockpit.” “The size of it, that would be challenging, it’s so slow and so small, I just can’t see it,” one of the pilots says. “Definitely smaller than a car,” is the judgment of one of the pilots.

Trump being Trump. To think he used to be president............ Trump attacks pregnant Rihanna in bizarre rant about Super Bowl show: ‘So much for her stylist!’ Former president Donald Trump lashed out at pop superstar Rihanna after her widely acclaimed halftime performance at the 2023 Super Bowl.

The Wagner terrorists have carried out another sledgehammer execution on one of their own.............................. Sledgehammer execution of Russian mercenary who fled shown on video Feb 13 (Reuters) - A video showing the sledgehammer execution of a former Russian mercenary who fled the Wagner mercenary group while fighting in Ukraine was shared on social media on Monday. In an unverified video published by the Grey Zone Telegram channel, which is linked to Wagner, a man identifies himself as Dmitry Yakushchenko, 44, and says he was born in Crimea and left prison before joining Wagner. "I was planning on finding some loophole, just, as they say, to run away," he said, adding that it was "not his war" and that he planned on leaving. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/sledgehammer-execution-russian-mercenary-who-fled-shown-video-2023-02-13/

Millions did die and it would have been millions more had restrictions and vaccines not been available. The variant Omicron changed the whole dynamics of the pandemic into one that has now receded in the main. Fixed it for you.

There is no doubt heavy losses are inflicted on both sides but your 4 month old article does nothing to credit your claim that the Ukrainians are losing more.

From the CNN link in the OP which also happens to be live updates, it appears this object went over some sensitive sites. "Based on its flight path and data we can reasonably connect this object to the radar signal picked up over Montana, which flew in proximity to sensitive DOD sites,” he said."

Not sure how this is going to end but it certainly looks like there is a real rift happening now between Wagner and the Defense Ministry. They have stopped giving permission for Wagner to recruit from prisons and are now doing it themselves. This from the latest ISW update: #Prigozhin also confirmed on 11 FEB that the #Wagner Group stopped recruiting inside Russian prisons due to the expiration of an agreement between the Wagner Group and the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD). 2/ Prigozhin stated that unspecified military detachments outside of his jurisdiction – likely referring to Russia’s conventional armed forces – will continue convict recruitment efforts. 3/ A Wagner Group-affiliated Russian milblogger also claimed that the Russian MoD is increasing its efforts to recruit inside Russian prisons. 4/@DefenceHQ assessed on February 11 that the increasing conflict between the Russian MoD and #Wagner Group was likely the main factor in the termination of the Wagner Group-MoD agreement regarding prison recruitment. 5/ #Prigozhin’s influence and appeal will likely continue to decline as the Russian MoD continues measures to undercut Wagner Group forces’ battlefield effectiveness, as @TheStudyofWar has previously reported. A more detailed article here: Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the once secretive tycoon, is confounding Moscow’s Kremlin-allied elite by starting to dabble in politics alongside waging war in Ukraine. He challenged Ukraine’s president to a duel from the cockpit of a bomber. He threatened to urinate on the face of a critic. He declared his private army was fighting for “every street, every house, every stairwell” in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. And that was just the past couple of weeks in the still-nascent public life of Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the St. Petersburg tycoon who is confounding Moscow’s Kremlin-allied elite by starting to dabble in politics alongside waging war in Ukraine. Mr. Prigozhin operated for years in secrecy, profiting from his personal ties to President Vladimir V. Putin to win lucrative catering and construction contracts with the Russian government while building up a mercenary force known as Wagner. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/11/world/europe/russia-wagner-group-prigozhin-putin.html https://archive.ph/UswOo

Did Berliner write the song "Another brick in the wall"?

Yes I have, if you want to start a topic on it start one and I'll share it. However see the post I replied to and why. Then look at the topic of this OP.

May be you didn't read my post fully, fatal car accidents are permanent. "Teen drivers in this age group have a fatal crash rate almost three times as high as drivers ages 20" In South Dakota having children at 16 is permanent. If "you" feel its a good reason to "RAISE" the age to drive and have children to 18 rather than lower the age to 16 when someone can make a decision on whether they want gender treatment reinforces my views in my initial post. Much more thought should have been taken before enacting this law. My personal opinion, by the age of 16 you are mature enough to know so long as there is adequate counselling first.

That's highly debatable. If in South Dakota your are legally mature enough to get married and have children with the children part being permanent then you should also be legally responsible enough to seek gender treatment. Equally if you are legally responsible enough to drive a car at 16 although the risk is higher of a fatal accident (yes permanent) at that age than any other age then you should also be able to seek the same treatment. It was indeed, referencing the post I was replying to.

Have to say I'm not up to speed with "gender affirming" procedures nor have I worked with any young people who were going through it. But in a state that allows marriage at 16, allows driving a car at 16, but now decides that they are not mature enough to seek this treatment until they are 18 seems a little confusing. I guess you should expect nothing else from a state that also bans abortion as a result of rape.

Wagner boss dreaming of taking it all the way to the English Channel and giving France and other European countries to Ukraine....... He says its his own "genius plan" Prigozhin Says It Will Take 1.5 Years For Russia To Capture Donbas, 3 Years To Reach Dnieper "If we need to go to the Dnieper, then for three years, If we need to close the DPR and LPR, we need to work at least one and a half or two more years," Prigozhin said. At the same time, he stressed that he has his own "genius" plan in case Russia wants to reach the English Channel (the strait between Britain and France). https://ukranews.com/en/news/914375-prigozhin-says-it-will-take-1-5-years-for-russia-to-capture-donbas-3-years-to-reach-dnieper
