One of our greatest freedoms is the freedom of speech. The first amendment made our nation the greatest nation in the world. It's been the greatest for well over 100 years.Regardless of what the opinion du jour is, we are the greatest nation and all the talk to the contrary is just talk. I see...

If we were in Italy or France, where their laws are based on Napoleonic Law, that might happen. We have English Common Law. Change one, you have to change them all. A lot of people would be very unhappy if that happened. Here, you are innocent until proven guilty. They should let an innocent...

She didn't miss when she shot herself. She died in surgery.

I saw the most police cars and trucks today in a chase that I have ever seen. Don't ask how many because all I can say is "A bunch"! That escaped prisoner from Alabama and his cohort former jailer got busted here. I've seen military operations with less response. At least they were considerate...

If you wondered why the take over is called "Hostile", the first shareholder lawsuit has been filed.A pension fund has filed suit to stop the buy out for three years. It's only going to get nastier.

It's pretty well covered in the news I see and read. Then again, I was trained in my younger years to glean facts from hubris. Israel was trying to stay neutral and talk to Russia until the Russians started insulting them. Now some serious Israeli hardware is on its way to Ukraine. The Russian...

Each year, Russia celebrates the victory over Germany in WW2 on May 9th. I saw a preview of this years parade. Putin isn't actually naked there. His hospital gown fell down.

I see where Elon may institute a "slight" fee for Twitter. Supposedly it will be for commercial and government users. Maybe. On the one hand, it will cut down on the 'Bots, on the other, if you're paying for something, should you have what you post restricted?

I'm ambivalent towards him. He gripes about Twitter, then again I don't believe the stories of mind control chips in his pillows. Now THAT may be from the left. I hope.

Mike Lydell is hardly left leaning.

It seems when I tried to make sure about something, I missed a beat. Parts of the story about the "Ghost of Ukraine" were true but scattered around different pilots. The "Ghost" as such, is a myth. Even though I tried to make sure of it, I goofed on this one.

The Ghost of Kiev, also known as the Ghost of Ukraine has been killed. Major Stepan Tarabalka was killed in a dog fight against massive Russian forces. This occurred on March 13. He is reported to have destroyed 40 Russian aircraft. Not all were fighters, but he did destroy many of those. He...

Yes, and he's not looking good. The 13 foot table is back and he's walking with a limp. The picture of him at Russian Orthodox services on Easter was a renewal with some modifications of the 2021 service. Several disparate news organizations posted the pictures side by side. I'm not saying...

It seems some of Putin's cronies are waffling and committing suicide. One beat himself unconscious then hanged himself, and another one stabbed himself repeatedly then threw the knife across the room.

Elon is playing games again. China and Twitter are not friends. He gets a lot of his power supplies from China. I suspect he may back out and what this will do to other aspects of his empire may off set the 1 Billion dollar penalty he may get hit with. Rich people play these games and small...

There are still two more people being held. The newest is a female basketball player who was charged with having cannabis vapes in her luggage. Evidently Putin is wanting to get more people back so he's collecting Americans as he can. It looks like Trevor spent a lot of time in shackles as he...

Trevor Reed is coming home. He's been held since 2019 on trumped up charges of assaulting a police officer in Russia. Video showed it didn't happen, but in Putin's Russia, there is no rule of law. An exchange of prisoners took place in Turkey for a Russian drug smuggler. At least he had served...

Musk may have a long term plan that might surprise people. Twitter has been banned in China for years. China is where Musk gets his batteries. How much do you want to bet he'll push China to open up to Twitter and reap in the profits. If that happens, figure on tweets critical of China to have...

There will be board members. A large company has to have a board just to function.The SEC will have very little to do with the company after it goes private. There is still some oversight, but without private investors, the laws are quite different. I've never seen the point in Twitter. I'm not...
