The most important thing for #Ukraine today was that the #USA is prepared to share #intelligence information and, among other things, to deliver needed #Patriot #missiles. This has been achieved. If #russia rejects the #ceasefire, which is likely given statements from the #Kremlin, Ukrainians will no longer be the ones that #Republicans can point the finger at. A difficult decision for #putin, which could also lead to him tactically supporting a #Trump proposal to avoid falling into the trap.

@GottaLaff Interesting. The cheapest version of a #Patriot missile costs $1M. For $2B, you could build 2K missiles. However, due to production capacity limitations, which might be 650 missiles per year starting in 2025, delivery could take 3-4 years, and no other buyer would receive any missiles during that period.

PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.

Good morning tooters. It’s already nearly 8.30am & just shy of 25c heading to 34c again. Looking ahead it seems that today may be the last day above 30c - I hope - things do change! #Weather.
Didn’t sleep well last night, I think I should have left the aircon on as I was very hot & sticky even with the fan going.
I finally finished my Christmas book Patriot by Alexei Navalny & the epilogue had me tearing up. It’s just 3 days until the 1st anniversary of his death. His book is very much worth reading & a blunt eye opener to life & reality for people who go against Putin & the Russian regime #Books #Reading. #AlexeiNavalny #Patriot
Not a great deal planned for today. I will shortly head outside to mow my lawns & I know the state I’ll be in when I’m finished 
dripping wet & hot. So I’ll hold off on my morning shower until after. #GardenWork.
This afternoon I will visit my sister in the rehab hospital now that she’s moved back here. I haven’t seen her in three weeks so looking forward to that.
Hope everyone has a great #Thursday, keep cool, stay dry & enjoy the day.
A quotation from Barbara Ehrenreich
No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-rousing remain the true duty of patriots.

To my #American friends...
As your neighbour, I thought you would want to know -- we've been looking over to your side of the fence, and your tree of liberty is looking a little parched.
It's probably time to water it. It could stand a little refreshment.
The U.S. military transferred around 90 Patriot air defense interceptors from storage in Israel to Poland this week in order to deliver them to Ukraine, three sources with knowledge of the operation tell Axios.

That’s helpful for sure.
I’m going to include posts advocating ways to #act
#volunteer opportunities to help those in need…
Or are being targeted for #cruelty.
That’s my view of being an #american #patriot
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the #homeless tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Never judge a human by their political views but their ability to see beyond them. Liz Cheney, a woman with integrity, principles & an unstoppable drive to protect the Constitutional rights, put aside her political views & brought forth her love of country & law as she set aside political party for the country, something few have the ability to do. A true patriot!

Remember that we know for a fact that #wellnessinfluencers were paid by #Russia to spread health misinformation, especially about #vaccines. So if you're anti-vaxx, you're a Russian asset even if you don't get paid by them. If you really want to be the #patriot you claim to be, you'll be PRO-vaccine.

“He’s actually rehearsing, in a sense, what he would be doing as head of state, which is what #Orban does, #Modi is doing, #Putin has long done…Just as there’s a divide now because of this #brainwashing about who is a #patriot & who is a #criminal about #Jan6 …In the same way, telling the truth in any area— #journalists, #scientists, … anybody who is engaged in objective inquiry, prosecutors, of course—they become criminal elements & they need to be shut down,” #RuthBenGhiat said.

I couldn’t live post… I was crying too much to see my screen. (There’s stuff or as media types say “color” about that, but … yeah, not about me)
But then there’s this:
“To those who never wavered, to those who refused to doubt, to those who always believed, my heart is full of gratitude.
“Thank you for the trust you put in Joe—now it’s time to put that trust in Kamala.
“Love, Jill”
