Return..

 

The US has spent $51.2 billion in military assistance for Ukraine since Russia invaded in 2022, according to a recent fact sheet published by the State Department. 

Ukraine has received over four million shells, 400,000,000 small arms rounds, and grenades, as well as hundreds of advanced missile systems, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery pieces, river patrol boats, and electronic warfare technologies.

Comment:

We gave $200 Billion dollars assistance in a year.

The return is 

Inflation that hit 10% in US and 20% in Europe.

Food shortage worldwide.

Ignoring urgent problems in US like US Debt, South Border Migrant, higher prices of food and energy, safety and security of the city of USA. Just a thought.

Sandbagged..

 

Hunter Biden’s hopes of getting his conviction regarding his gun charges overruled by the U.S. Supreme Court were crushed Friday as the justices upheld restrictions to the Second Amendment, legal analyst Jonathan Turley said.

The court ruled 8-1 to uphold a federal law restricting individuals convicted of domestic violence from possessing a firearm in the case, United States v. Rahimi. Hunter Biden, who a jury convicted of three counts of illegally purchasing a firearm, lost his hopes of getting his conviction overturned, as his legal team planned to argue the prohibition of drug users from owning guns is a violation of the Second Amendment.

Turley said the court’s Friday upholding of Second Amendment restrictions is a huge loss for the president’s son.

UFO..

 

The coming debate will be anything but the inflation, the economy, Migrants, and the war everywhere.  Just a thought.

Access..


The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously preserved access to a medication that was used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S. last year, in the court’s first abortion decision since conservative justices overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

The nine justices ruled that abortion opponents lacked the legal right to sue over the federal Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the medication, mifepristone, and the FDA’s subsequent actions to ease access to it. The case had threatened to restrict access to mifepristone across the country, including in states where abortion remains legal.

The high court is separately considering another abortion case, about whether a federal law on emergency treatment at hospitals overrides state abortion bans in rare emergency cases in which a pregnant patient’s health is at serious risk.

Koshary..


Koshary is to Egyptian cuisine as the pyramids are to its culture. Emblematic. Iconic. Beloved.

Also spelled koshari or kushari (those pesky transliterations from Arabic script!), it is widely considered Egypt's national dish. Rice, lentils (black or brown), chickpeas and pasta are cooked individually, then tossed together and topped with cumin-scented tomato sauce and crunchy fried onions. 

Things get kicked up a notch with condiments of garlicky vinegar and a peppery hot sauce called shatta. Heavily laden with carbs, fiber, and calories, a plate of koshary fills up even the hungriest of stomachs for just a few Egyptian pounds.  

 While no one can say for sure where koshary came from, everyone has an opinion on where to eat it.  Just a thought.

Yahu..



 The White House reportedly canceled a high-level meeting with Israeli officials in rebuke to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he accused the U.S. of withholding military aid in a video released.

According to Axios, the meeting, set up for a strategic discussion on Iran, was axed after Netanyahu’s protest angered President Joe Biden’s top advisers.

 Some Israeli officials were already en route to Washington when the decision was made.

“This decision makes it clear that there are consequences for pulling such stunts,” a U.S. official told Axios.

 Privately, according to sources, Biden’s team was incensed by what they saw as Netanyahu’s ingratitude.

Still the killing continues in Gaza.  Just a thought.

Memory..

 

Conservative media outlets selectively used a camera angle that left out important context to spread a claim Thursday and Friday that President Joe Biden wandered off from a meeting of world leaders, but the full video at another angle captured by NBC News tells a different story.

Instead of wandering off, Biden was walking toward a group of parachutists who had just landed in an Italian clearing and gave them two thumbs-up. 

Comment:
The DOJ special counsel
 Robert Hur's politically damaging suggestion that, in deciding whether to prosecute, he had considered that Biden would likely present himself to a jury as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." Just a thought.

Hur..

 

Seized on by the news media in the immediate scramble to report was the sentence: "Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen."

And then came Hur's politically damaging suggestion that, in deciding whether to prosecute, he had considered that Biden would likely present himself to a jury as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

A closer look at the rest of the report, though, shows despite Hur's "willfully retained and disclosed" assertion there were other innocent explanations that couldn't be ruled out.

However Biden keeps saying no one is above the law. So if he has poor memory not to be charged, however for the same thing Donald Trump is being charged.

Does this mean that Biden is an elderly man with poor memory, No charges- but Trump is not an elderly man and has a better memory?

 What are we saying here? Just a thought.

Nuts..


Whether you prefer peanuts, almonds or cashews, nuts are generally a nutritious snack choice.

According to Healthline, they are a great source of:

 Almonds are rich in vitamin E and aid with cellular communication and immune function.  

  • Brazil nuts are a great source of selenium — a mineral used to support metabolism and thyroid function, per Healthline.
  • Pecans are rich in zinc, which helps support immune function and DNA synthesis. In addition, they significantly reduced LDL cholesterol.
  • Walnuts are a significant source of copper, which is used in the body for energy production and blood vessel development.

The bottom line: Most nuts are healthy — but it’s advised to eat them in moderation.
