Apropos of my post above: A former FBI supervisor has been arrested for multiple crimes related to the 1/6 attack, including breaching the Capitol and encouraging rioters to kill police. CNN reported: Investigators say that Wise, who was a special agent and supervisory special agent with the FBI from 2004 through 2017, entered the Capitol on January 6, confronted officers and encouraged other rioters who attacked law enforcement. “You guys are disgusting. I’m former—I’m former law enforcement,” Wise allegedly told the officers during the interaction, which was captured on body worn cameras. “You’re disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo. You can’t see it. … Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!” Prosecutors say that Wise also encouraged other rioters who were attacking police in front of him, shouting, “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!” Trump has radicalized parts of current and former law enforcement. The Secret Service destroyed 1/6 attack evidence it is assumed to protect themselves and Trump. The 1/6 attack wasn’t an Antifa or an FBI operation as the conspiracy theorists claim. It was an attack carried out by people some of whom were or had been law enforcement against American democracy. People who had taken an oath to protect and serve turned on their fellow law enforcement officers and tried to attack and kill them, or in Wise’s case, encouraged others to attack and kill them.

In a recently aired interview, Lightfoot said that his opus magnum was "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald". He apparently had the tune rolling around in his head for months until the boat sank and he was inspired to create the lyrics we know.

Unlikely this was aimed at Putin as has been purported by Russian media. It was either a false flag operation designed to increase support for Putin or a deliberate targeting of a iconic landmark to show what could happen.

Agreed about Lynch's version, but I was referring to last year's film with Timothee Chalamont.

Best wishes for your continued recovery. The less analgesics you can get by with, the better- all Rx analgesics help with the pain and inflammation but also hamper your immune system responses, not to mention the constipation from opiods. But it does get better.

Russians media are preparing for a possible defeat on the battlefield. The Kremlin has already sent instructions to state and pro-government media on how to communicate the possible success of the expected Ukrainian counter-offensive.

Because they were able to identify the neo-fascists in the US that were egotistical, and self-serving and therefore corruptible. The NKVD (Russian version of MI6) was much more successful in penetrating US, French and British intelligence services using this model than vice-versa.

You are prescient! I ma intrigued by that d-lineman from the Excited States whose name was added to the draft pool at the last moment. On paper, he ought to be a darned good NI nose tackle.- World Politics

Lightfoot had his share of struggles- alcoholism, for one, but he was sober for some 40 years. His way of composing was to rent a vacant house and spend hours there alone with his guitar, coffee, a chair, a small table and a notebook. He once wrote a love song about named woman but withdrew it from circulation when he realized that it might make his wife uncomfortable. My wife was kissed by him when in Ottawa in a case of mistaken identity. He was a Canadian icon, a towering talent and a genuinely nice guy. We will not see his like again.- Manitoba Politics
