Imagine How The Media Would Cover The Russians Funding Hunter Biden's Wedding

Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding to socialite Bettina Anderson was largely paid for by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin, according to an explosive ProPublica report that dropped on Monday.

The small nuptials in the Bahamas back in May were bankrolled predominantly by Umar Kremlev, the head of the International Boxing Association — which has drawn a slew of scandals due to its links to Gazprom, the energy giant linked to the Russian government, ProPublica reported.

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children - Anne Applebaum

The Kennedy Center Was Just Fine Until Trump Slapped His Name On It

The Kennedy Center board is set to vote Tuesday on whether to immediately close the institution’s main building for renovations, as a court battle over renewed attempts to add President Trump’s name to the facility persists.

Officials have warned that the performing arts center faces “certain fiscal collapse within weeks” if it is unable to publicly recognize Trump’s fundraising role, according to a copy of a draft resolution contained in court filings.

Time To Deflate Photo

Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert in Morocco. The oldest unbroken and active foreign treaty in U.S. history is the Moroccan–American Treaty of Peace and Friendship, which was signed in June 1786 and ratified by Congress in July 1787.

Peace.

Update

 I'm baaaaaack, sorta.

The air conditioner has landed and it is a monster compared to my dead one.

My electric co-op has a gigantic store where I can purchase anything and put it on my electric bill. So I did. I bought an 18,000 BTU G Air inverter mini split. ICE ICE BABY!

It cost 369,000 colones or $819.97 usd.  And 70,000 colones installation or $155.55. Ouch, it may hurt but no more debilitating heat. My whole house is cool now not just one room. I'm living the high life, again!

Mama Toro had a surprise birthday lunch for me. It was so loverley. Balloons, decorations and lots of love. Her husband provided the red snapper he caught the day before, muy fresco! My friend Marcella and Mama Toro's son, Ricardo also attended.  And the cake was a masterpiece.

The photo caught me chewing, not a pretty sight, so I put a bandage on it!

Thank you for all your birthday wishes!

My take on 9-11

I have no idea who orchestrated it other than being told it was Osama Bin Laden. But living through the Trump years I am open to believing anything.

When 9-11 happened I just knew that George W. Bush, the evangelical, would use it as an excuse to attack Iraq. The guys who flew the planes into the twin towers were Saudis. And yet, Saudis were allowed to flee the USA on that date, 9-11, after the twin towers fell. Say what?

George W. Bush took our grief from 9-11 and flew it into Iraq. Joe Wilson tried to stop him by verifying that there was no evidence of yellow cake being sought by Saddam Hussein. Remember the old weapons of mass destruction ruse?  So what do they do? They outed Wilson's wife, a CIA agent, Valerie Plame. Yeah, maybe you saw the movie.

But I always believed Bush wanted to finish his father's invasion of Iraq. He said just that, many times. 

And now, 25 years later, Bush showed up at the 9-11 memorial. That made me sick.

Thanks for letting me rant.

 

And Trump claiming he was scooped up by rescuers on 9-11. What a liar.

 

 

Thank you for visiting, I'll return on Monday!

Love.

 

Ay yi yi

I don't know where to start. Power outage again and the ac died. I haven't cried, yet.

Also received an email this morning from the US Embassy saying my passport photo had been rejected, again. SO, I went and got a new photo then went to the post office and mailed it to the embassy. Fingers crossed. By the way, both rejected photos were just fine. No shadows, white background, check, for the 3rd time. These delays by the passport photo rules have caused my other pension to be on hold until I get a new passport for identification verification.

THEN, when I returned home, the heat slayed me and Taco. I cannot function sweating profusely. I just can't. I must wait till my next ss check in October to buy a new ac.

Tomorrow is my 77th birthday and thinking about celebrating it without ac is OK. I'll just buy bags of ice and sit on them!

Hey, I'm glad to be alive at this age!!! Thrilled, in fact.

BUT THIS HEAT IS KILLER! I started writing this when the temperature dropped to 99 degrees. it has now dropped to 97 degrees as I wrap up this notice. Yee Haw!

I will return when I get ac.

Hugs,

Lisa
