MAR 19, 2024, 07:01 PM | 118TH CONGRESS, 2ND SESSION
On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Agree, as Amended
Condemning the illegal abduction of children from Ukraine to the Russian Federation
2/3 Yea-And-Nay
Passed
A total of nine House Republicans — and zero House Democrats — voted to approve declaring that Russia committed the crime of kidnapping of Ukrainian children! At least 19,000 children are still abducted, stolen, according to Ukrainian officials. The real number is believed to be much higher.
Andy Biggs of Arizona
Eric Burlison of Missouri
Warren Davidson of Ohio
Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
Clay Higgins of Louisiana
Thomas Massie of Kentucky
Matt Rosendale of Montana
Chip Roy of Texas
Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin
Why support this Russian crime?
Putin stole the children for propaganda purposes.
Why then did the 9 Republicans seem to support this Russian crime?
Vladimir Putin, the current ruler of Russia, started a war with Ukraine, a neighboring country.Putin started this war by claiming that Ukraine needed to be demilitarized and de-Nazified.On the very face of it, this is a stupid lie.
So it appears that a single Russian man with the name Putin, has the following flawed personality traits that makes him one of the worst “humane” beings ever existing on earth.Here is a partial list describing this awful man:
Abhorrent,
Deceitful,
Dishonest,
Disgusting,
Crude,
Cruel,
Criminal,
Frightful,
Ghastly,
Gruesome,
Heinous,
Hideous,
Horrid,
Horrendous,
Intolerant,
Killer,
Lousy,
Murderer,
Selfish,
Self-centered,
Scandalous,
Stupid,
Unsophisticated.
It sort of follows that the Russian people carry with them also being responsible for the death of Russian soldiers as well as Ukrainian military and civilians.This whole situation is wrong and individuals that promote this warshould be despised.

Why You Should Consider Not Going To A Resort Prior To Christmas
Let me share with you a view that I utterly failed to appreciate until it took place.My wife joined 6 other women for a week long vacation visit to the Disney resort located in Florida.This vacation took place toward the middle of December.
Within Florida, COVID-19 related restrictions have been lifted.
There is no requirement to quarantine when traveling to Florida.
Florida is not near the top of a list for vacation destinations that help control and fight COVID.
My wife returned about the middle of December 2022 from her vacation.A few days later, she tested positive for COVID as well as some of the other women in her group.It appears that some of the ladies in the group came down with COVID while in Florida.Because typically a full recovery takes about 10 days, doing the math, this means that my wife needs to stay home and we can not entertain visitors until December 23.This comes very close to Christmas on December 25.Another rather shocking result is that my wife gave me COVID.I tested positivea few days later after she came home.I tested the day before she arrived back home and did not have COVID which points a clear finger of blame.Doing the math and adding 10 days to December 19 means that we have to postpone Christmas until December 29 or maybe even later!Our family agreed to postpone our celebration of Christmas.What a shock!My point in telling you this short story is that you might want to consider NOT taking a vacation at least 10 days or more before any important family get together such as Christmas, birthdays, religious events, etc. Because, you just might have enough days to recover in time to celebrate such an important day of celebration.
I recommend further actions for you to consider to prepare for coming down with COVID and having to self isolate.
Have enough of the following items that you might use every day at your residence that you can use for the next two weeks or more because, for many people, you should not go out and shop for anything.Here is a list to consider for items to stock up:
Food
Snacks
Deserts
Water and non alcoholic drinks. Due to having COVID, I needed to drink water all the time so I was glad that I had stocked up with three boxes of Figi water (24 carton 16.9 fl oz). I will not drink tap water.
Pet food. One option for you to consider if you can not get out to buy animal food is to oder from Chewey. Their order and delivery service is fast.
Animal litter along with animal litter disposable bags.
Laundry cleaning items such as soap, conditioner and fabric softener.
Covid test kits.
Covid medication. (Even though I had COVID, my doctor said it was ok to travel to the hospital pharmacy and pick up COVID medication. I just had to be sure to wear a mask and stay at least 6 feet away from every person.)
Summary:I personally am quite upset with the group of women who decided to go on vacation right before Christmas.Tomorrow, the time I am posting this blog, is Christmas and I will not be celebrating it.Note that we have two children and they will not celebrate Christmas also because of the mistake the women made in going to Florida Walt Disney World so close to Christmas.

Putin And Russian People Are Responsible For Massive Deaths And Suffering In Ukraine
Now let me get this straight and correct about the current leader of Russia, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
Cockroach Putin has a rather long past history of being a corrupt person. Some commentators refer to him as being a mafia boss. He is quite similar to Donald Trump in that both people appear to be incredibly self centered.
Cockroach Putin is a killer and war criminal as shown below.But, the Russian people allow this alleged cretin scum sucking bag to rule their country.This does not portray the Russian people as being knowledgeable, concerned, compassionate, and responsible for the actions made in the name of Russia. Their country appears to be something of a cesspool, devoid of any aspects of humaneness with this current invasion of Ukraine.
It would appear that the Russian people are ultimately to blame for not putting a stop to Putin for past, current and his future crimes.
Here is just a partial list of him being a murderer or participating in murder:
“… in 1999, he almost certainly approved, and perhaps even orchestrated, the bombings of two apartment buildings in Moscow, in which hundreds of innocent Russians lost their lives.”
“… reignite the Second Chechen War, in which he launched a massive air and land campaign that produced thousands of refugees, reduced much of the Chechen capital Grozny to rubble and killed at least 25,000 civilians.”
“Putin has funded, promoted, supplied and aided and abetted the Russian and pro-Russian terrorists in eastern Ukraine. Thus far, that war has taken 10,000 lives.”
“Putin’s proxies who shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 on July 17, 2014, killing 298 innocent people aboard.”
“Russia’s ruthless bombing of Syria’s civilian population”
Alleged mysterious killings attributed to Putin:
Alexander Litvinenko
Anna Politkovskaya
Boris Nemtsov
Sergei Magnitsky
Natalia Estemirova
Sergei Yushenkov
Paul Klebnikov
Stanislav Markelov
Anastasia Baburova
12 opposition leaders from various parts of the former Soviet Union have also been killed in mysterious circumstances in Turkey.”
Russia declared war with Ukraine February 24, 2022. Military and civilian portions of Ukraine are being attacked.
Protester marching with posters Support Ukraine Save Peace in Europe. Prostest against Russian agression. Helsinki, Finland, 7.02.2022
Rough total death total attributed to Putin and the Russian people: 73,641. (This number is a low approximation)
The Russian people should punish this alleged criminal, cockroach Putin, to the full extent by removing him from power and placing him on trial.
It would serve Russia and the rest of the world greatly to see cockroach Putin removed from power and even existence, that is if the Russian people feel any ounce of responsibility for the crimes being committed in his name, under his tacit command with no corrective actions taken by the Russian people.
There is now even some concern that cockroach Putin just might have a level of dementia due to his current incursion into Ukraine because such an action fails to reward Russia in any way, an utterly stupid attack.
The people of the world should send a message to the Russian people that they are responsible for these despicable actions by allowing their retarded leader to invade and kill Ukrainian people.It is recommended that we all follow the following actions:
Do not support any Russian business.
Do not send any aid of any sort to any Russian business, charity or person.
Do not talk to any Russian person except to voice your anger and concerns against Putin.
Do even more than listed here to show our solidarity with the Ukrainian people and NOT cockroach Putin.
All I wanted to do was to get information on when and where there were power outages. I went to this web page, https://www.sce.com/wildfire/psps-alerts. I tried to sign up for text messages. On that page I chose the option “Text Alerts”. I mouse clicked on the number “28954” and a text message window appeared on my computer desk top. I entered the word “ENROLL” into that text message box and got an error.
Let me outline why Brexit is based on ignorance. The list I provide is not in any order of importance:
British self importance, born out of their past feats of empire and now that empire diminished, has led to a nation feeling less being a sole powerful nation. Britain was once the whole puzzle while now it is just a piece of the puzzle. Britain was once in control of everything Britain and controlled a very large empire. Now, as part of the EU, it has been forced to minimized their national ego by being just a part of a larger organization. For some, leaving the EU places the destiny of England back into the hands of the people and that is the attraction for some voters. Problem with this thinking is that the world has changed and people need to shift with it. Alliances thwart war. Alliances increase commerce and thus national economic growth and help individual prosperity. No borders should be the new norm between nations. This is the reason why young people have an advantage of not being stuck with what may have been correct in the past for England. The younger voter rejected Brexit as has been measured in studies.
Immigration “problem” is seen as being out of Britain’s control when the EU demands open borders. The EU nations share open inter-state borders as part of the Schengen Agreement, allowing free flow of people between nations
The major influx has come from non Christian nations of Africa and parts of the Arab world. Open borders threaten the religious purity because those coming from Africa and the middle east typically embrace Islam, not Christianity. Then there is the white supremacist population that looks down upon anyone not of the same culture.
The Brexit vote reveals a very common pattern throughout the world where rural voters are less sophisticated, even less intelligent, not from IQ but from lack of education and way less interaction with other cultures as is the case in cities. This “problem” has been in place in Turkey, United States, Philippines and other nations.
The rural less intelligent vote is partly responsible for the rise of right wing movements toward totalitarianism. The “ME” feelings gives the citizen a stronger sense of self and results in the feeling of us being protected against them. This plays into the hands of the right wing politicians of any country as this base of me first supporters can be very resolute and a core adherent for a politician. Donald Trump and the US Republican Party is a very good example of a politician and party gaining resolute adherence from the white supremacist element.
Rural voters may be more prejudice than city dwellers because rural folk have way less contact with different background people. This has possibly led some voters to think in terms of raising borders again:
Once again, the feelings of ME against the OTHERS is attractive to some voters.
Young voters are more sophisticated than their parents for a number of reasons. The young have left colleges and universities with fresh knowledge and in some cases better facts and fresher outlooks. The young have less ties with the past mainly because they just landed here and have newer views of their environment. The young have accepted more the new forms of social media, which alone is a significant force upon the citizens.
“The broad consensus among economists is that Brexit will likely reduce the UK’s real per capita income in the medium term and long term, and that the Brexit referendum itself had damaged the economy.” (Wikipedia)
Summary: The British were sold the Brexit idea from the old guard, individuals that apparently may have self serving and flawed, skewed views of their country’s destiny. This rather ignorant idea started from politicians who have ideological beliefs rather than humanistic goals. Then, it got traction with the general public due to societal flaws, outlined above, deficiencies that are shared with many other nations such as rural ignorance, me vs we politics, national pride, etc.
