he United States may not send troops into Ukraine during the war against Russia, but it doesn't mean Americans can't join the fight in Ukraine. Officials in the U.S. have stated the Ukrainian military has done a stellar job at holding off Russian forces so far, but this could be a long war, and Ukraine is asking for help from foreign allies. "The International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine" was created by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to help strengthen the fight against the Russian invasion.

What is the Systemic Racism in Society that the Left Knows Exists but can’t be empirically detected? What is Hate Speech? What is causing our society to tear itself apart? How does the left define Civil Rights? Here I attempt to answer these questions with what I hope any critical thinker can pick apart, improve upon, and expand on to better understand our society and combat the ills that are inflicting it. This isn’t meant to be the end of this discussion, only a start of inspiration for others to find the truth and understanding needed to better society. What...

This occurred to me when a guy called in to Lars Radio Show about a person on Schiff's staff had access to this file on Flynn (former Intel gal). He was thinking that she (the person on his staff) leaked it, but I thought about how cozy Schiff is with the press and know if she told him about it he would leak it without thinking of the consequences. I don't think there is immunity if this is the case, would explain his bald face lies and facial mask of desperation all the time.

Post what you remember of the habits and practices of these generations, almost all of the last of them died in the 70s and 80s. There are a few out there hanging on but they tend to be the younger ones and weren't adults experiencing this. 1. Gentlemen were expected to always have a Handkerchief in his front pocket so it is immediately at the ready to cover his mouth. 2. A Great Gentleman will have two, one for himself and another that he could give to another.

U.S. housing sales, a key pillar of economic growth in recent years, are looking weaker again. Existing home sales declined for much of 2018. In December, according to the National Association of Realtors, sales of single-family homes, condos, and co-ops fell a larger-than-expected 6.4% from the previous month.

@SenateDems @SenFeinstein REMEMBER, Before any of this started we had a single victim and after all of this we have revictimized the victim and a New Victim. YOU ARE THE NEW PERPETRATORS!! #KavanaughConfirmation #KavanughSmear @realDonaldTrump @marklevinshow

There are two major considerations about this investigation that has gone far afield. 1. The danger of transparency to national security 2. The danger to the republic of a soft coup I think the danger to the republic has now surpassed the threat to national security. Let me know if you agree. I think that the FBI should be ordered to freeze all investigations country wide and Trump should order the Secret Service backed up by the US Marshal's service to seize all data including personal devices, paper, notes, audio recordings, bugs, call registers, server backups, appointment logs before returning...

Require all Schools get insurance for students while on school property. Why? Because look what is required for you to have employees on your property. The Insurance Company's underwriters require that you pay insurance rates that are subject to the likelihood that they will sustain a claim. What does this mean, 1. those insured take steps to reduce their rates such as taking steps that are identified by insurers that reduce their risk. 2. those who are extremely risky can't obtain insurance and therefore can't have students. 3. the insurance companies investigate all claims to determine the root cause to...

Since my memory isn't the best, label this historical fiction but this is my best recollection. I am sure I am missing a lot of colorful language and emotion. The man was teared up and by the end everyone was teared up. Vet: What I would say to anyone who doesn't respect our flag. Let me tell you my experience son. When I cover my heart, I think of my friend Lojo. That was what everyone called him. We were best friends and bunkmates. We played cards every night because there was nothing else to do. He and I worked...
