The HBO mini-series was one of the best docudramas the network produced. The lies that were told by the Soviet government was astounding. The bravery of the fire brigade, soldiers, and miners who did the cleanup under horrific conditions cannot be forgotten. I would bet most knew they were going to die but did the work anyway.

Mr Tanner and WOLD are two of my favorite HC songs. I used to listen to him late at night when I was working in news. His mastery of lyrics that spoke to a common man was uncanny. Thanks for posting this cut. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard it.

Thanks for that blast from the past. Haven’t thought about Sea Hunt in a long long time.

The sad part is the school board can only remove her as a board officer, not from the board entirely. Under Michigan law, the person would have to be recalled in a general election by the voters. If she is in her first or last year of her 6-year term, she is not subject to recall.

So the best they can do is remove her as a board officer. They could petition the Governor the remove her, but looking at the perp, I doubt that would happen.

Tastes like chicken.

Damn autocorrect

Why does it look like Nancy is almost remembering what an organism feels like? If she acts any more giddy, she’ll start to ooze Botox.

Thanks, just found out I am pre-diabetic and diabetes runs in our family. Dr. wants me to be on a low-carb, low sugar diet. I had tried one of the “medical-weight” loss type plans that worked extremely well years ago while I ate their food. Once I reached my target weight and I was free to eat anything, my weight crept back up.

I’m hopeful this will give me the opportunity to use everyday foods rather than the specialty stuff that doesn’t help long term and is expensive to boot.

Just getting started on Keto. any tips for that as well?

Gen. Jack Keane made this point at the beginning of the war. He said the Russians were trying to squeeze Ukraine on 4-fronts and they had no way to re-supply easily.

Looks like Putin underestimated the will of the Ukranian people to fight for their freedom.

This could go very badly for Putin personally, he could have his own Ft. Marcy park rendezvous if this drags on. If the estimate of Russian casualties are correct, there’s going to be a lot of pissed-off Russian families whose sons were “lost” in a great conflict.

In the best tradition of FR, I commented before I read the article saying the yacht had sailed with the destination being Kaliningrad.

If the yacht sails to a Russian port, it will be fine. If Putin had it sailed to an EU or Mediterranean port, it will probably be impounded. Since it just left Germany, It can’t have gone too far. Wonder if it could be seized in international waters?

Biden’s Delaware bunker is conveniently located underneath a strategic Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor with unlimited chocolate supply.

Putin probably sees Ernst Rohm, the leader of the SA who talked tough but was a little squishy in his private life.

I think you’ll find the Ruger to be a bit “snappy”. I’ve had the opportunity to fire the Ruger and I thought it had a tendency to throw the barrel upwards.

I have the Sig 365 SAS which has the sights inset into the slide so there is no post to snag on clothing. It DOES take some getting used to if you try to obtain a sight picture, but most of the time an EDC weapon is more point and shoot.

You may consider a Sig 320 Compact if you want a medium frame weapon. It’s still concealable and yet has a larger frame for stability.

You forgot to add butter after serving.

No offense, but I thought he dies a couple of years ago. Is this recent?

Statute of limitations can start at the last illegal act, not necessarily the first. If the conspiracy ran into/during Trump’s presidency, there is still time on the clock.

Wow...just wow! Thank you for posting this beautiful rendition of The Prayer. I don’t know if dad is more proud of her, or her of him. Both have beautiful voices and are a welcome diversion from the darkness that permeates the news right now.

That’s true, but the common denominator in all of this is Perkins-Coie. All roads lead back to that firm and Elias. That could be the key to unravel the entire conspiracy. So while the major players did talk about the Steele dossier in the Oval, where they aware it was Clinton op-research?

I don’t believe the principals have acknowledged knowing the dossier was BS. They all admit awareness of its existence, but not the source. If it can be shown their awareness, then they would be party to the conspiracy as well.

You also have the side show with the five I’s which could also be involved. Regardless, this is a large onion that Durham will have to unravel layer by layer.
