Not Much..

 


Cut..

 




Toxic..

 


Welcome to Britain, May 2022 – and one of the most toxic and dangerous economic moments.

 The Bank of England forecast inflation exceeding 10% and predicted negligible growth for the next two years, toppling into months of recession, accompanied by the savage squeeze on living standards. 

 This is serious enough, but less remarked and of as much importance is the 10% devaluation of sterling over the past three months.

This is a reaction to the economic trap Britain is in, intensified by the implosion of our EU trade post Brexit and the Brexit-induced fall-away in inward investment.

At the moment, it hopes that interest rates will peak at a manageable 2.5% before inflation starts to fall back to 2% in 2025. But that depends on an end to sterling’s decline. If the Bank has to reassure the financial markets about its determination to contain inflation and staunch the pound’s continuing weakness, interest rates could yet climb higher.

Welcome to America. Just a tought. 

Involved..

 


Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin claimed on Saturday that the United States directly participates in hostilities against Russia amid its war with Ukraine.

“This is not only about the supply of weapons and equipment,” Volodin wrote on Telegram, saying the Ukrainian government was given “the aid of American intelligence forces.

After the coup d’etat, foreign advisers and instructors are working in Ukraine. But today, Washington essentially coordinates and develops military operations, thereby directly participating in the hostilities against our country,” he added. 

The Pentagon told The Hill it did not have a comment on the matter.

The comments from the official come amid Russian claims of NATO involvement in Ukraine and provocations from the West.

Where there is a war somewhere, we always find a reason to be involved. Good reason or manufacture reasons. From there we then proceed to show that we are doing good. Just look back few years.  Just a thought.

Mother's day..

 

To all the mothers in my extended family, hope you all have the happiest day ever. Seeing all your children up and running doing their things successfully make us all appreciate mothers contribution.

Happy Mother's day also to all  those who helped and assisted in caring for children of other family members. Many have participated.

You don't have to have your own to be a fabulous mother. Mother Teresa and Lillian Thrasher are our life long examples.

Cursed..



The left are urging a green energy revolution, and American voters, tired of political excuses, are feeling angry.

 Rising gas prices pose a fresh election year headache for Joe Biden. Republicans accuse him of pushing “a radical anti-US energy agenda”. Democrats put the blame on greedy oil companies and the assault on Ukraine by the Russian.

Consumers are feeling the pinch in the latest knotty problem for a US president who, after 14 months in office, seemingly cannot catch a break.

Biden has a cursed presidency,” observed Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota. “He’s gotten nailed by the continuation of Covid, by inflation being out of control, by Russia Sanctions and now soaring energy prices that are hitting voters in the pocketbook.  

Prices at the pump, were rising long before Russia invaded Ukraine as demand recovered from coronavirus lockdowns the cancellation of Keystone pipeline, No Drilling on Federal Land, and announcing a ban on US imports of Russian oil.

 Biden campaigned on a promise to “wage war” on domestic energy production, signed an executive order to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies and suspended or halted oil and gas leases on federal lands. Here it is. Just a thought.

Help..



Ukraine’s ambassador to the US said that her country is ready to negotiate an end to the war — but defiantly declared that doesn’t mean it is ready to surrender.

“The negotiation does not mean that Ukraine is ready to surrender. The negotiations mean that there should be a solution and push and diplomatic pressure to stop Russia,” Markarova said.

“So, no, we are not ready to give up our territories. We are not ready to give up our people. We are asking everyone who can put pressure on Putin or who can help us to bring him to the table to stop this war,” she continued. 

Russian has placed a number of demands on Ukraine before consider halting the invasion.

However, the Ukraine thinks that the West are helping them.. Just a thought.

High..

 


High-fiber diets reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. They act by lowering cholesterol and promoting a healthier lipid profile for people eating a Westernized diet. 

Dietary fibers are carbohydrates that are selectively metabolized by gut microbes but are otherwise indigestible by humans.

 Understanding how they affect the microbiome and in turn human biochemistry and physiology is critical for effectively using dietary fiber supplementation to improve human health.

Chemically, fibers are diverse in length, branching, charge, solubility, and other properties. “They are usually studied as complex mixtures from their plant source,”
