The Name...

 

A senior member of Russia’s parliament on Thursday said the U.S. should apologize after President Biden said he agreed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was a killer, and the official indicated that the Kremlin could take additional action after recalling its ambassador to the U.S.

What do we call the invasion of Libya under Obama/Biden time?

The US military claimed it had no knowledge of civilian casualties. On 19 March 2011, a multi-state NATO-led coalition began a military intervention in Libya, to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973, in response to events during the First Libyan Civil War.

Action...

 

As the president looks to undo his predecessor’s immigration policies, he is hoping for cooperation from a Mexican counterpart who was a contributor to them.

Don't be angry at me, I was told to do that.  Just a thought.

Emergency approval...

The U.S. could begin vaccinating older kids against Covid-19 this fall while elementary-aged children may start getting their shots early next year, White House Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anthony Fauci told lawmakers on Wednesday.

 "For high school students, it looks like they will be available to get vaccinated in the beginning of the fall, very likely for the fall term," Fauci told lawmakers during a hearing with the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Fauci said researchers will likely have enough data on immunizations for younger children — 12 and under — to begin giving them shots in the first quarter of 2022, Fauci said.

The Food and Drug Administration authorized the vaccines from Moderna and Johnson & Johnson's for people ages 18 and older, while Pfizer's vaccine can be used in people as young as 16.

Dr. Fauci never said the vaccines are under Emergency Approval at this time. Many unknown to the long term side effect or duration of protection. Just a thought. 

Johnson and...

 

The differences have been resolved and Catholic teaching is clear: Catholics have a moral duty to protect themselves and others from COVID-19 by being vaccinated. However, if given the choice, they should avoid the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to the Vatican and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

Should they choose not to be vaccinated, they have a moral obligation to mask, socially distance and "do their utmost" to avoid becoming infected or infecting others, the Vatican said.

The message was somewhat garbled when the Diocese of Bismarck in North Dakota issued a statement on March 2 saying the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is "morally compromised and therefore unacceptable" to be given or received by Catholics.

The politicians and now the Catholic clergy people want to be front and center for something  should be left to the Medical field. Too much pollution of the minds of many.  If they want to interfere, create your own vaccines. Just a thought 

Perpetual...

 

The  icon is believed to have its origin sometime during the 13th -15th century.  The image is also known as “Our Lady of Perpetual Succour.” The icon is known for being miraculous; over the centuries countless healings and special graces have been attributed to it, so much so that the image has been honored and venerated by many Popes.

The miraculous icon is painted on wood and measures about 20" in height and depicts the Virgin Mary, under the title “Mother of God,” holding the Child Jesus.

The Archangels Michael and Gabriel, hovering in the upper corners, hold the instruments of the Passion. St. Michael (in the left corner) holds the spear, the wine-soaked sponge, and the crown of thorns. St. Gabriel (in the right corner) holds the cross and the nails.

The intent of the artist was to portray the Child Jesus contemplating the vision of His future Passion.  Frightened by the vision, he runs to his mother for consolation. The anguish He feels is shown by the loss of one of His sandals as he quickly flees into the arms of his Mother.

The icon also conveys the triumph of Christ over sin and death, symbolized by the golden background as a sign of the glory of the resurrection. The royal crowns on the heads of Jesus and Mary also symbolize their triumph as the King of Kings with his Queen Mother.

In a very beautiful way, the Child Jesus grasps the hand of the Blessed Mother.  He seeks comfort from His mother as He sees the instruments of His passion.  The position of Mary’s hands – both holding the Child Jesus (who seems like a small adult) and at the same time presenting Him to us – convey the reality of our Lord’s incarnation, that He is true God who became also true man.

Sunshine...

 

Even “New York’s hometown airline” can’t escape the allure of sunny Florida.

JetBlue, currently headquartered in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, is exploring its office options in the wake of the pandemic, a move that could see it ship more corporate jobs to the Sunshine State, The Post has learned.

In a March 11 memo to its LIC staffers, the budget airline said the combination of tougher economic times and more abundant office space has it reviewing its options ahead of the July 2023 expiration of its Long Island City lease.

One possibility, it said, involves flying more staff to Florida, which is home to its Orlando training center and the Fort Lauderdale headquarters of its travel products subsidiary. It could also move to another NYC borough, it said.

Yeah..

 

Zero to...

 

Both U.S. Democratic senators from New York -- Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand – have joined the growing chorus of Democratic lawmakers calling on Cuomo to resign as a seventh woman has come forward accusing the governor of some form of sexual harassment or inappropriate touching.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., repeatedly reaffirmed that she has "zero tolerance" for sexual harassment – but fell short of calling on embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign. 

So to Rep. Nancy Pelosi [Democrat], it is not really Zero Tolerance, It is kind of Zero to Sixty depending of the party association. Some times we ask for resignation and sometimes we just have to hold judgment.

Hostile environment for young women, fudging the numbers of those who passed from Covid virus in the nursing home, mishandling the whole epidemic with 50,000 death in the State...not enough for Pelosi. ...  Just a thought.

Credibility...

 

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio suggested that Governor Andrew Cuomo may ultimately answer widespread calls to resign, but only "right before" a state-led impeachment proceeding is complete. On Sunday the mayor discussed what could lie ahead for the governor, a fellow Democrat, amid mounting sexual misconduct allegations and lingering public backlash over his role in New York's nursing home COVID crisis.

"The folks in his state, and the political leadership, don't believe [Cuomo] anymore. He doesn't have any credibility," said de Blasio during Sunday's interview. "So, I think an impeachment proceeding will begin, and I think he will be impeached and, perhaps, right before that, he'll decide to resign. That's probably the most likely outcome right now."

"By the end of March 2020, 87 % of New Yorkers approve of Andrew Cuomo's handling of the pandemic, but his newfound popularity spurred talk of federal office. He appeared on CNN nine times  with anchor/brother Chris Cuomo in the comedy series “Mom Loves Me Better.”  

Who calculated these fake statistics any way?
