Thank you for the update. I broke into tears when I first saw the photos of Roma on Twitter. I wish him the best and pray for his full recovery. Slava Ukraini, and let's make sure Putin doesn't get away with mass murder and spends the rest of his wretched life behind bars.

Robert Badinter, a former Justice minister who was instrumental in abolishing the death penalty in France in 1981, died today at age 95.
A Jewish lawyer, whose father died in a Nazi concentration camp, he was a fierce & indomitable opponent of capital punishment.

French invasion of Russia by Napoleon's Grande Armée: Oct. to Dec. 1812. The French army was forced to retreat after Russian forces cowardly refused to engage in battle. Napoleon entered Moscow and waited there for the peace embassy which he assumed would come from the tsar.

Parce que les Occidentaux attendent la dernière minute pour donner aux Ukrainiens les armes (F16, Mirage, ATACMS, Taurus, blindés, etc.) dont ils ont besoin pour vaincre les Russes, par peur d'une mouvante ligne rouge qui tétanise militaires et responsables politiques.

This is RIDICULOUS! The original rainbow flag was designed to be all-inclusive. Adding these additional layers and colors serves no purpose other than meeting the CANCEL/deconstruction agenda. The🏳️🌈 stands for "Be Proud of Who You Are", not a shopping list of possible selves.

This reminds me of intellectually disabled DR inmate Ricky Lector (Arkansas) who, for his last meal, requested steak, fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid, and pecan pie. He left the pecan pie behind, though, telling a guard that he was "saving it for later."
