Agreed.  The simple solution is for Russia (and soon China) to stop getting them started.  But once started, what are we supposed to do?  Appeasement doesn't seem to work: Let's give them Ukraine and then they'll stop.  Let's give them Taiwan and then they'll stop.  Honestly, I don't know the solution.

The solution is to be strong like Trump was and let the enemy also think you're a little crazy and reckless enough that they don't feel emboldened to start this crap.

Off topic... the Space Force has to be reorganized.  It should have proper naval ranks.  Otherwise all science fiction has to be rewritten.  And a new name.  Why wasn't anyone with a brain consulted before this started?

The dog story goes back twenty years.  Wonder how many people know that?

Nope.  Floss first, rinse with mouthwash to remove the ick, then brush.  This is the only proper way to do it.  So there! :)

I think the dental assistant flosses last to get rid of all the polishing compound that might get stuck between the teeth.

So where will the troops come from to defend Ukraine?
That's for Ukraine to solve. Though with sufficient munitions they were holding their own, particularly with air defense weapons and artillery. (French President Macron has proposed putting French troops in Ukraine, in some alleged non-combat or support roles. Now that would be something if that happened.)

Why does the Biden Regime refuse accountability for money sent to Ukraine?  What is there to hide?
When did this refusal take place? The DoD claims processes are in place: https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3313904/defense-officials-us-ensures-accountability-of-systems-supplied-to-ukraine/

Please justify the US borrowing billions to "give" to Ukraine while asking the taxpayer to repay principal and interest on the borrowed money.
I don't justify it. It is, however, an action already underway. Like the payments I was forced to make to Social Security. If I start taking SS am I then justifying the previous taking?
Quote
Please justify giving this money to Ukraine while the US border is open and Americans go homeless and hungry, not to mention a crumbling US infrastructure.
China and Russia appear to be the only powers on the planet that pose any credible military threat to the US. The southern border presents a lower priority threat. Infrastructure and fiscal problems are best solved at the state and local level, not Federal. Unlike national defense, they aren't listed in the Constitution.

Please justify the US depleting arms stockpiles to Ukraine. while admitting thousands upon thousands of single military aged invaders into the US.
See above. "Military aged" is a meaningless scare phrase. That cadre has been entering the US for work since the Mexican Revolution.

Why is it so important that the Biden Regime wants Israel to ceasefire with Hamas, yet this same regime has hindered any ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine.
Ok, now you're asking me to defend the idiotic policies of the Biden Regime. I think Israel would be foolish to seek a ceasefire with Hamas just as I think it foolish for Ukraine to cede to Russia.

You say Ukraine is not a dictatorship, yet Zelenskyy has cancelled elections,
Sorry, no. When Russia invaded he invoked Martial Law per the Ukraine constitution. It would last only 90 days unless renewed by Ukraine's parliament. And the parliament has been renewing it, not Zelensky. Their constitution is what dictates (not Zelensky) that elections be suspended during martial law. So legally Zelensky is not responsible for cancelling elections.

shut down media critical of him, closed churches, outlawed opposition political parties, has jailed political opposition and conscripts men into his military by dragging them out of their houses and businesses against their will.    Yep, seems he sure loves democracy  ::)
I believe all of these are allowed by their constitution while under martial law. Not excusable, but their parliament can undo that authority at any time. Compare to our democracy during the American civil war: Lincoln declared martial law in all states and ordered the suspension of the constitutionally protected right to writs of habeas corpus in the state of Maryland and parts of the Midwestern states. As a result 13,000 civilians were arrested by the military and held indefinitely during the course of the war. Free speech was suppressed.

So because the actions you cite occur during war wherein the leaders are granted broad powers that they don't have in peacetime doesn't per se make them undemocratic or unworthy of support.

It's a disgrace.  Where's the media outrage and public outrage?
The media suppresses any reporting of outrage.  And public outrage is physically discouraged.  It's out there... all bottled up and ready to explode.

Number 1 is also a growing concern.  Why are protesters allowed to block roads?  Like roads into ORD or JFK?  Or across bridges?  Or elsewhere?  The police stand by and do nothing.  Except maybe arrest motorists who have had enough and try to remove the protesters.  Sure, go ahead and protest.  That's your right.  But don't mess with people trying to get on with their lives.  And costing those people money (missing their flights) or their livelihood (being late for or missing work entirely).  I say get a line of front-loaders and peacefully move the protesters out of the way.

I am totally against mandates, tax credits or penalties pushing EVs.  But I am just as staunchly against people that try to tell me I am the stupid one or a typical liberal because I think EVs have a future and that they would suit my situation and driving patterns perfectly.

I know you are.  I'm not one to think you're a liberal because you like your EV.  I have no problem with that if it fits your lifestyle.

My youngest grandson plays soccer. He is a junior in HS this year and has played on the Varsity team since he was a Freshman. In his Freshman year the team made the 6A semi-finals before losing. Last year they made it to the final before losing in OT after playing 36 minutes a man down.

This year, they are currently 16-0 overall and finished their region play last night with a 5-3 win in OT.  The team they played last night was also 5-0 coming in to last night's game. Our boys were down 2-3 at the half and tied it up in the second half to send it to OT. They scored twice in the OT periods locking up the Region title. The three goals they gave up last night was the highest number they had given up all season.

They have two more games scheduled before the state playoffs begin on April 19th.  They are going to play two 7A teams in the next couple of weeks.   Their record should give them home field advantage in the playoffs. Hopefully they can take that last step and claim a state title this year.

I did it.  I told my husband I wanted to buy $500 worth of that new Truth Social stock and he said, “Make it a thousand.”  Screw figuring out how to buy a stock myself.  I just emailed our investment guy and directed him to buy us $1000 of Trump’s new Truth Social stock and I told him, no, I don't care if it’s not a good investment. I just want to play!

HA!
