In reply to Badtux. This winter they had to import snow for the New Year celebration. That said, windows in Moscow that are actually capable of being opened are a bit short in supply, so it would have required a lot of work for that to happen, some might say it was a miracle :twisted: Vlad is restructuring the Russian constitution and just had the current government resign. It is possible he no longer trusts Medvedev to be the loyal soldier. He may be about to shift the real power to the Prime Minister and make the President a figure head like Germany and Israel.

Talking about Vlad, apparently another journalist in Moscow has died after mysteriously falling out of a window. In Moscow. In winter. There has been a chronic problem with gravity, windows, and journalists in Putin's Russia. But of course you know that Mango Mussolini wishes he could do the same to his own pesky journalists...

In reply to Kryten42. The Secretary of the Air Force changed the name of the 14th Air Force to the Space Force and everyone in the 14th became Space Cadets. They are all wearing Air Force uniforms with Air Force badges and medals. It is a complete waste of paper and money to appease a toddler. Raymond was commander of the Air Force Space Command, so they changed his title and gave him a seat at the big guys table at the Pentagon. This is bad theater. 14 pills is not easy to keep track of, especially since half of them are probably the same shape and color. They should have released you to a rehab facility at least until the wounds healed but politicians don't want to spend the money.

I must have just hit the 30 day limit while I was posting. *shrug*

Anyway, I’m home. They kicked me out Sat. even though two stitches popped near my shoulder & the wound opened. Doc. wanted me to stay until Mon or Wed to keep an eye on it. So as expected, Admin trump’s Medical advice. What’s new? I have Outpatient appointments every Monday for a few weeks. I had to wait almost 2.5 hours on Monday. Typical. Put me on oral antibiotics (Cephalexin) & a lot of other med’s. Have to take 14 pills with breakfast! (Though only 8 different med’s, some double dose & 1 triple).

Seen this, for a laugh?

Gen. John Raymond sworn in as first Space Force chief

Gov. even has an official website now:

The US foreign policy people have a longer learning curve than a Special Needs class. The kids want to learn, but the foreign policy wonks just want to justify their master’s thesis from university. Even AI ‘learns’ from mistakes, but not retired generals who work for defense contractors.

On you posting problem – the software closes comments on all posts after 30 days to reduce spam. Sorry but the comment wasn’t put anywhere, it was dumped.

We’ve chatted several times over the years on your blog about USA meddling in Global affairs that pretty much always end’s badly for the USA, and about Iran. So you know how I feel about all this.

OT: I tried posting an updated comment on the “Real Life Intrudes” thread, as I posted it I got a “Comments are closed” message. If it’s still around somewhere, could you read it (and maybe post it somewhere?) Thanks. 🙂
