Zelensky Internal Fight, Manafort and McConnell

For daily information on the War in Ukraine, there is no better site, in my opinion, than the YouTube channel War In Ukraine. [link:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP2QApi8G2TKc8NZmeDWSUg/featured| Not sure who this guy is but he has been spot on in his analysis that covers strategic as well as tactical information on the status of the Russian invasion,

Today's report I found to be incredibly enlightening. [link:

| It sheds light on the infiltration off Russia into the Ukrainian government.

This relates to the firing of the ambassadors by Zelensky and the recent remarks by Rep. Victoria Spartz(R) (who must have some inside intel on this). It shows the ties to Paul Manafort and connects some dots to Mitch McConnell as further explained in Rachel Maddow's piece last October.

Thank You President Biden

I know that Fox News and the national media will join me in thanking President Biden for reducing the price of gasoline in the last 21 straight days, reducing the Covid death rate, getting container ships moving through our ports again, increasing baby formula production, and preventing Trumps buddy Putin from destroying Democracy in Ukraine. Good job Joe.

Fascist Fox viewers see little or none of the explosive January 6th testimony

[link:https://www.foxnews.com/|

And Fox continues to grow and gain more market share against its competition.

"The network drew 2.27 million total viewers in primetime, up 4% from May, 2021. MSNBC averaged 1.02 million, down 32%, while CNN averaged 660,000, down 28%. In the 25-54 demographic, Fox News topped with an average of 351,000 viewers, compared to 150,000 for CNN and 105,000 for MSNBC." Deadline.com

The good bad news is that only 2.7 mullion out of 330,000 million Americans watch primetime news. So 320 x million do not actively watch the news and 2.27 million get fascist propaganda.

How can we win the hearts and minds of the Americans so we can save our Democracy with this kind of problem?

Oh Joe Please

Is it me or has the Morning Joe show turned into a Joe Scarborough diatribe on why Republicans should go back to the pristine Party of Ronald Reagan and the Party of 1964? You know, the one that was resurrected from the political trash heap when Nixon embraced the racists, former Democrats who left the Democratic Party because Democrats supported the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts of 1964. Yes, let's bring that Party back to power. Is there a morning show on TV where the commentators are actually Democrats who can talk about the Democratic Party?

Putin changing his propaganda to save his political ass

This is propaganda from a Russian controlled news outlet

[link:

|

Propaganda to save Putin's political ass. His change in messaging being pored out by this FAKE news channel and others is designed as a message to Russians. We are not being defeated because my military and I are incompetent but because we are being overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of evil western countries. We are pulling out of Ukraine but we need to remain strong against these evil fascists. You need a strong leader. That remains to be me. What an ass.

Russian Orthodox Church Support for Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Sky News Interview with Ukrainian Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security Liubov TsyBulska alleging The Russian Orthodox Churches support for and participation in spreading Russian disinformation in support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Is there any doubt that Russia is also funding Evangelical churches in the US promoting Republican anti-democratic messages. Wish the news media would report on this.
