@davidaugust everything I put outside gets gone by morning. My "pet" skunk. He is old, hard of hearing, and almost blind.

@ulidig a lot of people don't know what to do with beans. If their mama didn't cook them they have no idea. I shop a store that has about 2 dozen types of dried beans.

The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine celebrated World Recycling Day by posting a picture of a Ukrainian tractor pulling a damaged Russian tank, and congratulated Ukrainians on the occasion.

❗️Are you prepared, Russians, for the news that one of the largest chemical plants in Russia has caught fire in Moscow today?

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Private Military Company, has stated that he intends to enlist approximately 30,000 new combatants for the conflict against Ukraine by mid-May, according to Reuters.

Intentions and deeds are two separate things. I intend to live as long as my 95 year old father. Time will tell.

These idiots must think he is made of money. DirectTV is not for sale. And if it was, the price would be more than 44 billion. How long do you think it would take for him to run it into the dirt the way he has with Twitter???

A Black man was ‘decapitated’ after saying he was being chased by white men. Why do police say no foul play? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/rasheem-carter-death-mississippi-b2301332.html

The United States has started to expel Russians who had escaped military conscription, according to The Guardian.

The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine has recently imposed sanctions on more than 400 people and companies, most of which are Russian, from the military-industrial complex of the terrorist state. Iranian and Syrian individuals who are aiding terror have also been included in the sanctions. We are taking each step of the sanctions process very seriously, and the Ukrainian sanctions are part of the global effort to put pressure on Russia. Anyone who produces weapons for terror against Ukraine, who helps Russia to incite aggression, or who supports Russia's disregard for international law, will be marginalized by the world. Russia is the only actor that is destroying lives, and the only way to protect lives is to expel the Russian army from Ukrainian soil. We will do this. We honor all of our soldiers who are currently in battle, as well as those who are training them, treating their injuries, volunteering, and supporting the morale of Ukrainians. Glory to Ukraine!

Canada's Defense Minister Anita Anand has announced that Canada has sent armored Bergepanzer 3 repair and recovery vehicles to Ukraine.

Today, the head of the Center for Military Legal Studies reported that the West has enough shells for only one major counteroffensive by Ukraine. To further analyze this information, experts have suggested that the shortage of shells for the Ukrainian Armed Forces can be compensated by F-16 fighters, with the United States and European countries increasing production of ammunition to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Additionally, other ways to compensate for the shortage of shells include the availability of aviation, such as F-16s, the use of more JDAM guided bombs, and the use of long-range missiles. Ukraine is also increasing production of ammunition and Poland is ready to take an unprecedented step and transfer its MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine. The F-16 is a powerful aircraft that can effectively destroy the enemy, especially when it comes to intercepting cruise missiles. American pilots have visited Ukraine multiple times and have had no complaints about the conditions for basing F-16s. This will help Ukraine to have a winning strategy in the battlefield.

A previously convicted young man broke into a women's restroom in a shopping center in Brovary.

Fortunately, his attempt was thwarted by a woman who entered the restroom after him, causing him to flee. Employees and visitors of the mall apprehended the attacker and called the police. He has been detained and is facing up to five years in prison for attempted rape.
