At a moment the United States appears poised to send its warships near Ukraine as a strong ‘deterrent message’ against Russian forces built up near the east Ukrainian border, Russia on Tuesday warned that US vessels better stay away from Crimea “for their own good”.
A Kremlin statement further called the new US deployment into the Black Sea a serious “provocation” which serves no other purpose but to test Russia’s “strength” and “nerves”.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov issued the Tuesday warning as follows: “There is absolutely nothing for American ships to be doing near our shores, this is purely a provocative action. Provocative in the direct sense of the word: they are testing our strength, playing on our nerves. They will not succeed.”
“We warn the United States that it will be better for them to stay far away from Crimea and our Black Sea coast. It will be for their own good,” he added.
It was late last week that Turkey’s foreign ministry confirmed that it’s granted permission for US warships to use the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits to enter the Black Sea. The Pentagon has downplayed the deployment by keeping mostly mum about it, only saying that it’s “routine” for US warships to patrol the Black Sea.

Seems the bullies in the world have lost all respect for us. Dementia Joe and his people just reverted back to foreign policy that hasn’t worked for decades.
China is busy in Taiwan too. Iran bullying Joe too, good thing Israel went ahead and set their nuclear plant back with cyber attack.
OMG

Disgusting little pr!ck.

IHOP is making a sizzling side dish the main entrée.

IHOP’s menu will also include Candied Bacon Pancakes that are loaded with hickory-smoked bacon bits; a Steakhouse BLT; Bacon Lovers Combo, which are two Candied Bacon Pancakes with slabs of the thick-cut breakfast meat; and the Oreo ‘N Bacon Waffle Sundae among other items.

I’m thinking the AstraZeneca vaccine does the same? (blood clots) So much so AZ changed the name of the vaccine to hide it.
I didn’t think it would be, because of the name. I specifically picked it cuz it sounded like it might be neutral.
But the article talks about the debunked election fraud Theory, makes fun of Lindell for sticking with Trump.
I hate our fake news. What I wish Lin Wood would do instead of what he is doing and is coordinate groups that will sue these news agencies. Is the master at it, he can give advice and coordinate it so that they all get hit at once. Deeply.
Anyway that’s my dream for now.
Yes, I’ve read it does.
yummy!
Ah, gotcha. I was thinking you meant the date of Frank starting was fake.
Oh no not that. I’m sure they hate having to reveal it.
Great idea!
So I went there too, stole your idea :-) I have the app on my tablet ready to go. I don’t know how to get it on my phone though. Now that website says it starts on the 19th. I put my phone number in so I could get a text! I’m as happy as a kid in a candy store!
I was trying to remember everybody that mentioned our house sale, sorry if I forgot somebody. My memory isn’t what it used to be.
Our realtor had it on the MLS at 1:33. We have a showing from 2 to 3, 3:30 to 4:30, and 4:30 to 5:30. I didn’t even have time to run over there and Turn All the Lights On.
White House livestream is back up! The URL changed in case you have it saved.
The White House is still there. LOL

“Maple Bacon Milkshake”
I’m tempted on that one.
But wouldn’t thick bacon be really hard to chew? Especially in something soft like a pancake. I guess I’ll just have to try it and find out!

Reporters Pressure Police Chief To Avoid Calling Minneapolis Violence ‘Riots’
During a press conference on Monday, Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon sparred with the press after a reporter tried to stop him from calling the destruction and violence outside of Minneapolis on Sunday a riot.
“Just so everybody is clear, I was front and center at the protest, at the riot,” Gannon said.
Before he could continue the press conference, Gannon faced disputes from multiple reporters who took issue with his use of the word “riot” and demanded that he stop using it.
“It was not a riot,” one reporter shot back.
“There was no riot,” another reporter warned, joined by other members of the press who said, “don’t do that.”
Gannon quickly shut down the allegation from the media by explaining that multiple officers were “putting themselves in harm’s way” as objects rained down on them.
“It was [a riot],” he replied. “The officers that were putting themselves in harm’s way were being pelted with frozen cans of pop, they were being pelted with concrete blocks. And yes, we had our helmets on and we had other protection here but an officer was injured: hit in the head with a brick…he was transported to the hospital. We had to make decisions. We had to disperse the crowd because we can’t allow our officers to be harmed.”
This just makes my blood boil, especially compared with how people at Capitol Hill were treated by the press.
