The Gambler..
“You’re not really in a good position right now.”
You’re in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel. We’re going to feel very good … You don’t have the cards right now with us, you’ll start having problems right now.”
Donald Trump warned Zelenskyy that he was "gambling with World War three” and told the Ukrainian president to come back “when he is ready for peace”.

DOGEY
MSNBC is set to purge most staffers working for $25 million liberal icon Rachel Maddow after she torched new president Rebecca Kutler for canceling Joy Reid's show .
Maddow called MSNBC's actions - which also include several other 'non-white' anchors losing their shows - 'a bad mistake' and 'indefensible' on her program, after telling Reid herself on her final broadcast that she was 'bereft' over the news.
She had even more unkind words for the network for how Kutler was treating Reid's staffers.
Dozens of Maddo's producers and staffers,' 'They're being invited to reapply for new jobs.'
This is MSNBC own DOGEY!!!!
Laughter..
Laughter is good for your health
Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
Laughter lightens anger’s heavy load. Nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a shared laugh. Looking at the funny side can put problems into perspective and enable you to move on from confrontations without holding onto bitterness or resentment.

Cleaning..
On Monday, February 24, longtime anchor Lester Holt announced that he was departing from his role as host of NBC's Nightly News , a role he has held for the past decade.
He is the latest in a growing tally of news anchors who have left their posts or announced they are leaving their posts since the new year — and new administration — started. The list includes fellow NBC anchors Hoda Kotb , Andrea Mitchell, and Chuck Todd, CBS anchor Norah O'Donnell , and CNN's Jim Acosta
In a memo to colleagues sharing the news, Lester revealed that the departure is in part to focus and expand on his hosting duties at Dateline, of which he has been principal anchor since September 2011.
He also said he will continue anchoring the network's flagship evening newscast until "the start of summer." There has been no word on possible replacements yet.
Failure in reporting the news, or just giving their own opinion on the news wasn't appreciated by the country. Just a thought.

Steady Fall..
Newsman Chuck Todd spun his departure from NBC News by declaring it was a "ripe moment" for fresh opportunities, but RadarOnline.com can reveal he was "pushed out the door."
Although Todd was raking in $4million a year as NBC's chief political analyst, insiders said he was "humiliated" by his diminished role and ultimately forced out.
Chuck didn't walk away," added an NBC insider. "He was sidelined, stripped of influence, and left with no real choice. His exit was anything but voluntary."
It's been a slow, steady fall for Todd, 52, since his glory days as Meet the Press moderator.
A 22 percent drop in viewership led to his ousting from his prestigious post after 2022.
Turn..
After his whirlwind two-day visit to Ukraine, President Donald Trump's special envoy for Russia and Ukraine retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg is within striking distance of sealing a rare-minerals agreement with the country.
The Ukrainian side made suggestions to the agreement text and sent it back to the American side.
Trump is seeking the rights to access Ukraine's natural resources in exchange for the United States having provided billions of dollars in support for the Eastern European country against Russia’s invasion. Trump said on Friday that the mineral deal is "pretty close."
The White House stresses that the deal would not be a guarantee of future aid for the war with Russia.

Plant..
A plant-based diet could be the secret recipe for a longer life — as long as you do it right. That’s the advice from Dr. Luigi Fontana in his new book, which presents a science-backed plan for eating more plant-based meals to boost health and longevity.
“Healthy longevity is about fueling your body with the right nutrients to activate cellular repair and gut health,” said Fontana, director of the healthy longevity research program at the University of Sydney.
“We recommend people start to experiment by shifting to two plant-based days a week, trying new recipes, discovering new flavors, and eventually increasing this to five days a week.”
The right foods, predicated on a predominantly plant-based diet, activate mechanisms that slow aging, reduce inflammation, and enhance metabolism.”
“Secondly, without enough fiber-rich plant foods, beneficial gut bacteria die off, weakening immunity and increasing disease risk.”
