Just for the record .. they lifted sanctions briefly and May and re-instituted the next montth.  It had to do with legal stuff because Francesca was going to charge them through ICC .. then they sanctioned the court itself.  I have no idea where the legal issues stand.

You guys sure they are not just out of aircraft fuel?

I don’t follow the internals of the US house and so on. I came across this where Thomas Massie outlined his eight articles to impeach Hegseth. It is quite stunning. The first part is basically which bills he dealt with and he is dealing with whoever called him names and the legalities of the hidden Epstein files.  So, interesting yes, but the Hegseth impeachment articles are so real, that I thought someone will find value. It starts around 28:00. Of course, they closed the house for the day that this needed to be debated.  The legal structure of the US is completely broken.

MrP, question for you but don’t work hard on this .. just an idea would do.

All these super-dooper missiles from Russia, are they in range more or less of Greenland?  I think they have some that could reach there yes?

Silly goose animal.  I so love donkeys.  MrP does too.

What do I want for a birthday?  A breeding pair of miniature donkeys.

Thanks for this Periol!

The lashback against Israel is increasing all over the world and it is a good thing. I picked up a piece this morning where ex IDF soldiers now working for the IT companies in Ireland are desperately cleaning their online resumes to hide their service as Ireland is also standing up and throwing them out.

There are no landing photos of Xi Jinping back in China.  Usually if memory serves, there are one or two basically for the record.  Mao Ning, Spokeswoman, has also not posted any pics and she usually posts a few around summits.

There was this stupid BRICS security guy who tweeted out pics of himself sitting on a roof with his big sharpshooter gun, on BRICS security duty.  He was promptly disappeared from his job.

Ramaphosa is apparently sick with something – formal announcement from the South African presidential office.

Food?  I don’t know. A security issue if I make a guess.
