Even if you do not like Beau, please watch this one. The information is important. Russia had a news release all set ready to go after they easily walked over Ukraine and frighted the Nato / US into retreat starting the resurgence of the great new Russian USSR thing. It really is a horrific statement of what Russia and Putin thought they were going to do vs reality.
“All of those troops there are going to be coming against Israel in the latter days. And God says, ‘I am going to take care of it.’ But is Putin insane? Well, yes and no.
“Because he is being driven to move against Israel because God says ‘I’m going to put hooks in your jaws and I’m going to bring you down on them.’ Now you get the picture.
“And there is the land that is set up in Ezekiel 38 and you see how Ukraine is key because you see the land bridge between Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey.
“And I think you can say, ‘Well, Putin is out of his mind,’ and yes, maybe so. But at the same time, he’s being compelled by God.
“He went into Ukraine, but that wasn’t his goal. His goal was to move against Israel ultimately. And he will link up with Turkey across the little land bridge, and they will come together.
“And all of that area is going to be mobilized against Israel in the latter days. And God says, ‘I am going to deal with it.’
“So you can look at your map. You can read your newspapers. You can listen to your news. But know of a fact that God is bringing to pass what he prophesied years ago through his servant Ezekiel.
“And you read it in the 38th passage of Ezekiel, one through six, it’s all there. And God is getting ready to do something amazing and that will be fulfilled. Read your bible because it’s coming to pass.” – Pat Robertson, today on the 700 Club.

Andrew Walls, a leader of the Akron-Canton chapter of the Proud Boys in Ohio, was charged after he appeared to be caught on camera shouting racial slurs at a Black woman and then punching her in the face.
TWITTER
A chapter leader in the far-right Proud Boys extremist gang was arrested on Monday and charged with assault in Akron, Ohio, after he was recorded shouting racial epithets at a Black woman and then sucker-punching her in the face.
A man police identified as Andrew Walls, 26, was caught on video outside a bar in the early hours of Sunday, stumbling and scuffling with other patrons while spewing a torrent of racial slurs. His victim, 23-year-old Cameron Morgan, was passing by with a friend when she heard Walls and others around him screaming “Fucking niggers.”
She later told her father that she confronted Walls after realizing she was the only Black person around.
“We were like … ‘You can’t say that. That’s not OK,’” she told her dad, local teacher and former sportswriter David Lee Morgan Jr., who recorded the conversation and provided a transcript to HuffPost.
Video taken by Cameron Morgan’s friend shows what happened next: Walls squares up, points his finger at Morgan, and repeats the racist slur, adding: “Bitch, shut your mouth.” He then cocks his right fist and punches her directly in the face, the impact of which releases a blood-curdling pop.
Morgan was treated for a concussion.
WARNING: The video below contains graphic violence and racist language.
Walls kept going after the recording ended, and dragged Morgan into the street by her hair, her father said. She was shaken up, he said, and left the scene without initially calling police.
But once the video began to make the rounds on social media Sunday, activists quickly identified the assailant as Walls. They also unearthed a previous story about him in the local Akron Beacon Journal, which identified him as the vice president of the Akron-Canton chapter of the Proud Boys.
According to this article (with photo) Andrew Walls is also the vice-president of the Akron-Canton chapter of the Proud Boys. https://t.co/mv9ZThIxBL
Though Walls wasn’t wearing his Proud Boys uniform — a black and yellow Fred Perry polo — during the assault, his membership in the gang suggests a predisposition for violence and bigotry. The Proud Boys, designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and a terrorist organization by Canada, have close ties to white supremacist groups and other extremists, and violence is literally written into their rules. (The gang’s highest rank, known as the Fourth Degree, is given only to members who commit a significant act of violence “for the cause.”)
Walls’ chapter didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Reached by phone Sunday, David Morgan’s voice trembled as he recalled waking up to see a video on his phone of his daughter being assaulted.
“Soon as we saw it, I was in tears,” he said. “I just cried, because, I just watched somebody punch my daughter, who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Morgan said his daughter went to an urgent care clinic and was treated for a concussion after she saw stars and blacked out. Her face swelled up temporarily, to the point where she couldn’t move her jaw.
“She couldn’t really open up her mouth to eat,” he said.
Walls was taken into custody on Monday, charged with possessing a firearm while intoxicated and assault. The severity of Morgan’s injuries may lead to his assault charge being upgraded to a felony, the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Akron police are considering an added ethnic intimidation charge and are reportedly in contact with the FBI to determine whether to classify the attack as a hate crime. Additionally, police said Walls attacked another woman at the scene and is expected to face additional charges for that crime.
David Morgan said the revelation of Walls’ Proud Boys affiliation changed everything for him. He said he was aware of the gang and the national tour of political violence they’d been on since their founding in 2016, but he “never thought it would hit home until today.”
“This changes a lot for me, in the sense that, I want to get involved now,” he said. “This happening was time for me to wake the hell up. And I hate that my daughter had to suffer that for me to wake the hell up.”
this piece of shit just emptied an unhoused person's tent of all their belongings and threw it all away. when i asked what they were doing they said cleaning up trash. when i said it was someone's stuff they called me a fucking weirdo, threatened me, and told me to back off. pic.twitter.com/hvHSvOEHtJ
Robots and automation in general eat up jobs. That should be a good thing. People do not exist just to work. Other countries know this. Living should be more than a daily grind to make wealth for the wealthy and trying to survive.

FOX is complicit. They parrot Russian active measures reflexively.
Republican rhetoric is meaningless.

John Kerry is a highly decorated Vietnam Veteran who risked his life to save others and was injured in battle and also came home to speak out against an unjust war. He has more understanding of life, death, energy and, yes, fighting for freedom than CHICKEN HAWK Mike Ramirez who has never served.
John Kerry’s current position is to seek solutions to the climate crisis and, in that capacity, he has called for greater energy independence, including the user of electric vehicles.
This is an important issue, but it has little direct relevance to the Ukrainian war of self-defense against the aggression by Russia and its dictator who receives worshipful praise from Trump, Pompeo and Tucker Carlson.
Trying to tie the two together by someone like Michael Ramirez, who understands neither demonstrates the desperation and intellectual vapidity we are dealing with.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends.
If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends.
Oil and gas are top products of both Russia and Ukraine, whose energy Russia covets.
Perhaps if we listened to John Kerry and plugged our electric vehicles into solar panels (as my wife and I do), we would disempower Putin and reduce the need to fight over energy which can be produced by sun, wind and other renewable sources.
Perhaps if the president from 2017 to 2021 had not been busy doing everything he could to weaken Ukraine, weaken NATO, threaten to pull out of NATO, threaten to pull our troops out of Europe, invite Putin to gatherings other world leaders kicked him out of and so many more actions designed to strengthen Russia then Russia wouldn’t be a major threat to world peace now. It is all perspective isn’t it. At the time Romney said it Russia was not a major threat or a large problem. It grew into one with the help of tRump.
You’d think that a major global tragedy like Russia invading Ukraine could tear him away from taking pot shots at Democrats for a couple of seconds. He’s taking gratuitous shots at the President during what amounts to a proxy war. Politics used to stop at the water’s edge. Whatever you think of him, by exposing Putin’s lies and tactics well before he invaded Ukraine, Biden led the free world in a more United front than Putin thought possible. Biden and his team have done a good job of wrangling a fractious alliance and putting together some very tough economic sanctions. Their decision to telegraph the intelligence that the invasion was coming took guts as well — because if Russia had pulled back they would have been accused of either lying or being hysterical. As it was, Biden and his team prepared the world for what was coming and laid the groundwork for a unified response.
I hope everyone is able to remember that it was me, as President of the United States, that got delinquent NATO members to start paying their dues, which amounted to hundreds of billions of dollars. There would be no NATO if I didn’t act strongly and swiftly. Also, it was me that got Ukraine the very effective anti-tank busters (Javelins) when the previous Administration was sending blankets. Let History so note!

-Works to get weapons to Ukraine to defend from Russia off GOP platform -Illegally withholds military aid from Ukraine -Announces plan to pull US troops from Europe -Floats leaving NATO -Praises Putin's invasion of Ukraine -Criticize US action against Russia
The events of the past week makes it clear why Donald Trump worked tirelessly to undermine NATO. When supported by the United States, the organization is the greatest bulwark against Putin’s tyranny just as it was against Soviet tyranny.
“I wanted to hamstring NATO when I was president. I tried extorting political favors from Zelensky before I would give Ukraine military aid. Anyway: I now want you to know that NATO wouldn’t exist without me and I always looked after Ukraine’s national security.” – Trump pic.twitter.com/w12eBtpI22
Congresswoman says ‘our neighbors to the north need to be liberated’, prompting widespread condemnation

The Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert was condemned for comparing the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the clearing of a truckers’ protest in Ottawa, saying: “We also have neighbors to the north who need freedom and who need to be liberated.”
‘Don Quixote-like quest’: Ukraine attack and easing Covid mandates leave US trucker protest on the fringe

A former US ambassador to Canada called the comments “reckless” and “dangerous”.
A protest in imitation of the Canadian truckers has been making its away across the US. It is expected in Washington this week.
Anthony Housefather, a Liberal member of the Canadian parliament, told Boebert that “while it’s good that you are not following the Trump line and are standing with Ukraine instead of Putin, it is sad to hear you compare free and democratic Canada to the invasion of Ukraine.
“If you would like to learn about Canada please reach out.”
That seems unlikely. Boebert, from Colorado, is a far-right controversialist and conspiracy theorist who since being elected in 2018 has consistently sought attention through confrontation.
She was discussing the Ukraine invasion at CPAC, the conservative event in Florida, in an interview with Fox Nation hosts Pete Hegseth and Kayleigh McEnany, the latter a former White House press secretary under Donald Trump.
Trump has condemned the invasion but repeatedly praised Putin.
Boebert said: “I pray for Ukraine and I wish them the best.”
She also praised the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, whose response to an evacuation offer was widely reported.
“They have a great president right now who really said, clearly, ‘Live free or die’,” Boebert said, reaching for the New Hampshire state motto before paraphrasing Zelenskiy, saying: “I don’t need a ride, give me ammunition. The fight is right here.”
She continued, saying: “But we also have neighbors to the north who need freedom and you need to be liberated and we need that right here at home.”
Canada maintains emergency powers after trucker blockades ended

It was a reference to the “Freedom Convoy”, a truckers’ protest which choked downtown Ottawa this month. The protest began against vaccine mandates but morphed into a protest against the government of Justin Trudeau.
The prime minister used emergency powers to aid the effort to end the protest, which saw police and protesters clash in the snowy streets of the Canadian capital.
Many in Canada and the US reacted to Boebert’s comments with anger.
Bruce Heyman, who was US ambassador to Canada under Barack Obama, said the congresswoman’s remarks were “reckless, dangerous and [crossed] every line of diplomacy and decency. Boebert would have been expelled from the Republican party before Trump but [is] now the darling of CPAC.
“Canada is our best friend, best trading partner, closest ally and should be treated as such.”
