BREAKING: The Taliban calls on Russia and Ukraine to “resolve the crisis through dialogue and peaceful means.”
One person’s account of making to to Poland from Ukraine.
Guards were pulling military age men out of cars and busses to be conscripted into the Army to fight the Russians.
Cars out of gas abandoned on the roadways, people walking to get to the border.

More gaslighting from the Democrats:

MOSCOW (RT) — President Putin ready to send delegation to Minsk in response to Ukrainian President Zelensky’s proposal.
No, not The Mooch.
But, as a bonus, Brandon has nominated Paul Ryan’s relative (by marriage).
And, as another poster put it....
sundance at CTH predicted it. She was set up for this by Obama. All part of the takeover plan.
Well, Paul Ryan says she has integrity, so that should be good enough for us....because when I hear the word “integrity”, the first person that comes to mind is Paul Ryan!

Ryan even testified on Brown’s behalf when she was nominated to the district court in 2012, offering his “unequivocal” endorsement of her qualifications in recommending her for the bench.
“Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji’s intellect, for her character, for her integrity is unequivocal,” Ryan said at her December 2012 nomination hearing. “She’s an amazing person, and I favorably recommend her consideration.”

“We’re family, by marriage,” Ryan explained in the 2012 hearing. “Her brother and sister-in-law, who are my brother and sister-in-law, William and Dana Jackson, are here with us as well today.”
Agree....it means just the opposite, if Lyin Ryan says it.
This will give the Rs a free pass to vote for her. Related to Traitor Ryan and ... well, fits all of their other guilt/crony requirements.
thanks for that.
<> the school placed Grimes on administrative leave and has now allowed her to resign her position. <>
The school allowed her to resign ? weird statement.
How is the knee doing today?
We are in the 50’s today but chance of snow tonight. I better get out and go for a walk before it starts cooling down.
So sad.
It will be a hopeless and deadly fight.
Does anybody know if there is a way to donate to the US Convoy?
We don’t want to do the liberal GoFraudMe and GiveSendGo doesn’t seem secure. So I’m wondering if the truckers have found another method.
China State Banks Restrict Purchases Of Russian Commodities, Pause Buying Russian Seaborne Crude
While Beijing has so far clearly telegraphed it is aligned, at least ideologically, with Moscow in the nascent Ukraine war, refusing to call Putin’s move an “invasion” and also blaming the US for stoking the conflict while refusing to condemn the military action, Bloomberg reports that “at least two” of China’s largest state-owned banks are restricting financing for purchases of Russian commodities, “underscoring the limits of Beijing’s pledge to maintain economic ties” Russia in the face of sanctions by the U.S. and its allies.
According to the report, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China’s offshore units stopped issuing U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit for purchases of physical Russian commodities ready for export, even though yuan-denominated letters of credit are still available for some clients, subject to approvals from senior executives.
Bank of China has also curbed financing for Russian commodities based on its own risk assessment, Bloomberg also noted adding that the bank has yet to receive explicit guidance on Russia from Chinese regulators.
As Bloomberg notes, the curbs highlight the “balancing act” facing China’s biggest financial institutions and Xi Jinping, as it strives to remain neutral in the ongoing Russia-vs-west feud. While Russia is a major energy supplier to China and the countries often find themselves aligned in geopolitical disputes with the U.S., Russia’s economic weight pales in comparison to Western nations that buy many of China’s exports and control its access to the dollar-dominated international financial system. On the other hand, as Rabobank pointed out earlier, this may be changing.
China’s four largest banks have complied with previous U.S. sanctions against Iran, North Korea and even top officials in Hong Kong because they need access to the U.S. dollar clearing system, a Bloomberg source said, even though China has regularly breached the Iran oil embargo and its purchases of millions of barrels of Iranian oil in violation of US sanctions are not exactly a secret.
Perhaps to demonstrate to the West his eagerness to mediate, in a phone call with Vladimir Putin on Friday, Xi urged the Russian leader to negotiate with Ukraine to defuse tensions.
Knee is OK, still sore and a little swollen, won’t be doing a marathon walk for sure.
Enjoy your walk with Cooper.
It’s 47° right now in the Valley of the Sun with a high of 65.
Will be very nice.
Going to lunch with my younger sister, her hubby, 2 of our kids and a grandson at a place that my mom and older sister loved to go, kind of a tradition when we get together down here.
