Trump trying to kick Ukrainian families back into a war zone

What an evil POS. Can you say, "Russian Asset"? Definitely Russian asshat...

Check out this stupidity

Round 1 goes to Auburn

What a game. Auburn smothered them defensively much like the Tennessee game. Sears was able to get a few questionable calls with his foul hunting that kept bama hanging around.

UF/UT/bama are the three best SEC teams we’ve played. I’d rank them in that order. Defensively UT was the best we’ve seen. Florida’s big men are relentless.

The NET rankings are. . . .

#1 Auburn
#2 Duke
#3 Houston
#4 Florida
#5 Tennessee
#6 alabama

PBS: Trump cut lifesaving foreign aid while his State Department finalized plans to buy expensive art for embassies


In its earliest days, the second Trump administration cut off lifesaving food and medical aid to countries worldwide. It halted efforts to stop teens from joining drug cartels in Mexico. And it shut down programs aimed at resettling Afghans who assisted U.S. troops during the fight against the Taliban.

But at least initially, the budget for expensive artwork to hang in U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide remained robust.

The State Department planned, for instance, to purchase a $650,000 “triple-height suspended sculpture” for its embassy in Brasília. It had designs on a $55,000 “wall installation” in Malawi. A “textile work” that costs $105,000 and a $94,000 “suspended sculpture that would span two levels” were on the books for Mauritius. And $550,000 was set aside for “three ceiling suspended sculptures” that would hang in the “main atrium space” of the American embassy in Riyadh.

The intended purchases, which total nearly $2 million, were described to me by a U.S. government official with information about the State Department’s spending plans.
