Amadea..

 

The US government asked a judge for permission to sell a $300 million Russian superyacht seized in 2022 — citing the fact that it’s been costing taxpayers $600,000 a month to maintain.

The hefty monthly tab includes $360,000 in payments to the 348-foot vessel’s crew, plus $75,000 for fuel and $165,000 in other maintenance, like waste removal and food, according to court papers filed by the US in Manhattan on Friday obtained by Bloomberg.

 The superyacht, called Amadea, reportedly belongs to Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, an alleged money launderer sanctioned by the US in 2018 as one of several oligarchs who profited from the Kremlin “through corruption and its malign activities around the globe, including the occupation of Crimea,” according to the Justice Department.

Kerimov, 57, is worth $9.1 billion, according to Bloomberg’s calculations, which he built making hefty bets on Russian companies across a variety of industries after the fall of the Soviet Union, the outlet reported.

Hate is really costly.

Thugs..

 

U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for Alexei Navalny's death and warned there could be consequences, saying he was "not surprised" but "outraged" by the opposition leader's passing.

"We don't know exactly what happened, but there is no doubt that the death of Nalvany was a consequence of something that Putin and his thugs did," Biden said at the White House after Russian prison officials announced that Navalny had died.

"Putin and his thugs"... the President is devastated on what he doesn't know happened, as he said.

On the other hand, here is Netanyahu and his cabinet, bombing the civilians of Gaza,  with 30,000 Palestinians dead, children, women, elderly and some Jewish hostages as well.. Not a word..

Cognitive..

 

A new groundbreaking study showed that a common cholesterol-lowering blood pressure medication could slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients.

Swedish researchers, who conducted the study based on data from the Swedish Registry for Cognitive/Dementia Disorders, studied the effects of statins, drugs that reduce cholesterol, including in the brain.

The answer lies in statin ability to reduce congestion in blood pathways in the brain that can become filled with proteins, lipids like cholesterols or the beta amyloid amino acid that has recently been linked to Alzheimer's.

When blood pathways get clogged, they can kill off brain cells. The National Institute on Aging states: "Abnormal levels of this naturally occurring protein clump together to form plaques that collect between neurons and disrupt cell function." And when cell function is disrupted, a person's cognitive ability can be drastically reduced.  Just a thought.

Indiscriminate..

 

 Israel and the United States on Tuesday showed their sharpest public disagreement yet over the conduct and future of the war against Hamas as the two allies became increasingly isolated by global calls for a cease-fire.

The dispute emerged while Israeli forces carried out strikes across Gaza, crushing Palestinians in homes.

President Joe Biden said he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel was losing international support because of its “indiscriminate bombing” and that Netanyahu should change his government, which is dominated by hard-right parties
General Assembly passed a resolution calling for a humanitarian cease-fire by a vote of 153 in favor, 10 against and 23 abstentions. The non-binding vote is largely symbolic, but it serves as an important barometer of world opinion. None of the major powers joined Israel and the United States in opposing it.  (AP)

U Singh..

 

According to the Massachusetts Department of Justice, Rambhai Patel, 36, and Balwinder Singh, 39, were indicted on one count each of conspiracy to commit visa fraud. Patel was arrested in Seattle on Dec. 13, 2023, and remains detained pending trial. Singh was arrested in Queens, N.Y. on Dec. 13, 2023.

 The alleged staged robberies, the “robber” would threaten store clerks and/or owners with an apparent firearm before taking cash from the register and fleeing, while the interaction was captured on store surveillance video. The clerks and/or owners would then wait five or more minutes until the “robber” had escaped before calling police to report the “crime.” The “victims” are alleged to have each paid Patel to participate in the scheme. One purported victim allegedly paid $20,000 to participate as a victim in one of the staged armed robberies. In turn, Patel allegedly paid the store owners for the use of their stores for the staged robbery.

It is alleged that at least two purported victim co-conspirators submitted U Visa applications based on being victims of the staged armed robberies. alleged that at least two purported victim co-conspirators submitted U Visa applications based on being victims of the staged armed robberies
