Americans are at a loss at the moment with respect to the advancement of troops pouring into Ukraine from Russia.  Why?  Russian President Vladimir Putin is dead set on invading and taking over the capital of Ukraine - the city of Kyiv.  To offer perspective on the matter, the following CNN video shows an interview with retired General David Petraeus.  The interview sheds light on the situation:

Hopefully, Russian President Vladimir Putin will realize that a mistake has been made and retreat Russian forces back into their territory.  How much needless death has to occur to satisfy one small man's thirst for power?  Stay tuned!

Hilary Clinton Calls Out Fox News For Blatant Lies

Fox News is a serial offender when the discussion centers around persisting falsehoods in the newsroom to the public.  Yes, Fox viewers will obviously point out that every news organization stretches the truth to fit their model of journalism.  That is agreed upon by a large number of people.  What is not agreeable is when the business model of a news agency is taken hostage for the truth.  

In the video below, CNN news journalists take us on a journey through the lies of Fox News along with commentary from a senior Fox News Executive to expose their blatant persistent lying:

Of course, Hillary Clinton is an easy 'high value' newsworthy name to capitalize on.  Unfortunately, using the former Secretary of State in such a dishonest way is criminal intent.  Fox News should be penalized for this treatment.  Further, it is astonishing how viewers would rely on such a platform to deliver content that is blatantly wrong about current events.

The stock market has taken a hit due to Russian President Vladimir Putin moving troops to the bordering region of Ukraine.  Supply chain disruption causes stock prices to fall quickly based on fear of product availability.  With that in mind, where does the issue in Russia leave us?  What is next?  

In the video below, a CNN military correspondent breaks down the issue with Russia's troop movement around Ukraine moving forward as a threat:

Supply Problem Could Be Exacerbated by Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Why should the U.S. people care about what happens in Ukraine?  Does it directly impact Americans?  Besides standing in arms with our brethren in NATO forces?  Actually, it does and can hurt Americans directly by damaging/delaying supply chains. 

A recent briefing by Politico Nightly introduces readers to the reality that indeed the conflict can have a negative impact on supply chains into the United States:

U.S. concerns about potential Russian retaliation have ramped up since a report published earlier this month by Techcet, a market research group, estimated that more than 90 percent of neon supplies used by U.S. semiconductor manufacturers come from Ukraine, while 35 percent of palladium supplies come from Russia.

Many products that are used on a daily basis by Americans have no real origin.  What do I mean by this? The origin of the product begins and ends with a click on Amazon.  Where that product originates from is not of importance.  Although, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans started to educate themselves on countries that produce supplies that are shipped to the United States.

They were forced to come to terms with the backlog of supply ships sitting at American shipping ports waiting to be unloaded.  Truckers have been working overtime to get these supplies and goods to our local cities for delivery.  That is the extent of the knowledge of manufacturing from overseas.  

Why Is that the case?

Each of us can only handle so much information on a daily basis.  Between the current events and social media, Americans are overwhelmed.  Although, that is no excuse to not learn a little about where products are made and shipped from.  Americans often surveyed would prefer if the military were not involved in overseas conflicts.  

The problem with that contradictory wish is that if we (as a country) were not dependent on products made in various countries, then we would not have to protect our commercial interests with politics and the military.  They are intertwined.  We find ourselves at a dilemma.

Thomas Friedman is a columnist for the New York Times newspaper.  His columns appear regularly in the Op-Ed section of the newspaper.  During this time of divisiveness on every issue, from vaccine mandates to election fraud, a little commentary might be helpful.  Mr. Friedman has covered varied topics from Russia to the Middle East to vaccine mandates.  He is well-read and well-spoken.

In a recent interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough interviewed Thomas Friedman to get some perspective on today's nation.  The commentary and exchange between these two exciting reporters are worth watching and considering too:

Nicely said, gentlemen.  These two have given the audience plenty to think about.  Surrounding the question: Where are we at as a nation?

Two Different Justice Systems: GOP White Men Get Sentenced Lightly While Black Woman Gets 6 Years For Voter Fraud

The picture above shows 5 people who have been charged with voter fraud.  Each of the men in the photo tried to cast ballots for dead people (i.e. their wives' ballots).  Some went further and claimed fraudulent voter counts.  The woman in the photo above is an activist.  She has served time in jail which puts into question her ability to cast a vote.  As a result, out of confusion, she did cast a vote in the 2020 election. Her sentence is nearly 6 years long.  All of the men pictured who actually committed voter fraud?  No time longer than a few days.  What?

In the interview below by Rachel Maddow, the highlighted and brief introduction into this great disparity in voter election fraud and the two different criminal justice systems is laid out:

Wow!  What kind of world do we live in?  Change is needed very badly.

Senator Cawthorn Lawsuit Paves The Way For Preventing Former President Trump Seeking Office In 2024

The presence of Senator Cawthorn in the image above provides ample evidence of a violation of section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.  Which would eventually bar him from seeking re-election next term.  As a result, Senator Cawthorn has brought a lawsuit against the election committee of North Carolina which is barring him from seeking office again.

Under the same section of the Constitution, any person who holds office could be held liable for the same offense and disbarred from seeking office in the future.  In the video below, a Justice from North Carolina explains how anybody else holding political office could be in violation of the same offense and barred from seeking office.  That is, if that person engaged in seditious acts or was part of a scheme to undermine an election:

President Trump seems to fit this bill or violation.  Therefore, the president should not seek office in 2024 or ever for that matter.
