Putin's billions are hidden

No paper trail? Only a fraction of it is known?
Let the hackers and forensic financial wizards track it down. Take it from him to rebuild Ukraine!

Hospitals targeted in Ukraine

I was listening to Nicolle Wallace and one of the guests said there had been hundreds of attacks on hospitals and I think he said 17 were completely destroyed.

Between attacking people in bread lines and holding medical people hostages while shooting from the hospitals, using them as shields it is par for the course.

No firewall for this article.

Snip:

Serhii Chernyshuk, medical director of the Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv, said he’s worried about a Russian airstrike hitting the hospital. Based on the events of the past three weeks, hospitals, schools and other civilian locations are maybe more dangerous than military locations, he said in an interview with The Washington Post on Thursday.
“As we see in Mariupol, Kharkiv, many hospitals are destroyed … by [the] Russian army. And our hospital also can be a goal for them,” he said.
Chernyshuk has been living in the hospital for the last three weeks, because he believes it’s safer to stay there the whole time. In the past three days, two rockets came down very close to the children’s hospital. One of the rockets landed less than one kilometer (a little over a half-mile) from it Wednesday morning, shattering a few windows. He thinks it is “very possible” that “one day, our hospital will be hit by a rocket or other weapons.”

He is getting desperate. I don’t want to think about what Putin is willing to do but I know it will get worse. If there is a hell I hope Putin and TFG are neighbors.

Year of the Cat

I was driving along today and I heard a bit of this song coming from… somewhere. I haven’t heard it in awhile and forgot what an intricately crafted masterpiece it is. I also find it comforting in a way I can’t explain.

I came home and listened to it on YouTube, looking at some of the comments and 1 caught my eye -

“mom used to come in and turn down the stereo. I was playing this one day and she sat down and listened. her eyes were closed and her head was swaying. when it ended she shook her head, said ‘wow’ and went to finish dinner. Miss ya mom.”

Wow is right.
