Nicolas Cruz get life without parole...NO!

 I'm not for or against the death penalty. But in the case of Nickolas Cruz, the man needed to go. He knew what he was doing, he planned it, he executed 17 people. I don't know what the jury saw that he, Cruz, SAID he did it, to say he should be spared. Good luck dude. You'll need it.

The U.S. Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade

 I am not an advocate of abortion. I do not believe abortion should be used for birth control. HOWEVER, I do not believe government has the right to tell me to carry to term the child of rape, nor of incest. Nor to continue to carry an ectopic pregnancy, or other life threatening pregnancies. The Supreme Court made a huge mistake in overturning Roe v Wade, which now allows states the opportunity to ban abortion completely. A woman should be the one to decide what happens to her body, and with the guidance of her doctor. There are so many children in the adoption system, and many more in the foster system. Let's take care of them in finding forever homes.

A Brief History of Ukraine

 From "A History Of Civilization" pg. 321

-Swedes penetrated the wilds of what is now Russia.

-Swedes established the first settled culture in Russia at Novgorod and Kiev; in fact, the Swedish invaders were known as "Russ."

                                                         pg.550

The Slav colossus, Russia, was already emerging, but early civilized life in Russia had been organized not by Slavs, but by Scandinavians. The Swedish Vikings had established small states in Novgorod and Kiev about the Danish north men were unsettling the painfully reconstructed civilization of western Europe. Russian lif was further enriched from Constantinople, first though penetration of Byzantine Christianity, and then by the introduction of Byzantine influence in art, literature, and terms of government. Indeed, later Tsars claimed Moscow as the capital of eastern Christendom, and asserted their independence of the mantle of Roman and Byzantine Caesars.

In the 13th century, Russia, then but a loose collection of feudal states, was conquered by Tartars, led by the grandson of Genghis Khan. For 200 years the Tartars maintained their sway, still collecting tribute from Russians when the Turks captured Constantinople. But Russian independence was not far off. In 1552, The Duke of Moscow defeated the Mongols, and became the leader of a Russian state. So rose the power which, in later years, would become the chief enemy of the Turks. The Turkish thrust northward conquered a part of what is now southern Russia. That territory was not Russian, but the possession of another Slovik power.


History Of Mankind- Vol.II pg. 24,26

....many specific Greco- native cultures can be distinguished: in Magna Graesia, Sicily, the country around Marsellies, the Propontis, Ukraine, Crimea, Cyrenaica, and so on.

....No less important was the influence of the Greek colonists on the Black Sea coasts, especially in the modern Ukraine.


Encyclopedia Britannica- History

  Beginning in the 7th-6th centuries BCE, numerous Greek colonies were founded on the northern coast of the Black Sea, on the Crimean Peninsula, and along the Sea of Azov. During the 1st millennium BCE, the steppe hinterland was successively occupied by the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Sarmatians. These peoples, all of Iranian (Persian) stock, maintained commercial and cultural relations with the Greek colonies.

  The Goths from the Baltic region replaced the Sarmatians in the Ukraine about 200CE.

Kyivan (KIEVAN) Rus

  The formation of the Kyivan state began in the 9th century by the Varagians (Vikings), and the name Rus was the beginnings of the state. From the Varangian merchant-warriors came the progenitors of the Kyivan princes, who soon became Slavicized. The Varangians were also called Rus, and this became a territorial designation for the Kyivan region. Later, it was applied to the entire territory ruled by members of the Kyivan dynasty.

President Biden Slams T^^^^ For Web Of Lies About 2020 Election

The One Year Anniversary of the U.S. Capitol Riot

   One Year. It seems like it was just yesterday, I was returning home from the store, and my daughter asked me had I seen what was going on in D.C. I just happened to turn on Twitter, and it was blowing up with comments about people forcing themselves into The Capitol. The Congress was certifying the Electoral College votes, and these criminals (the ones who literally stormed the Capitol) broke through glass, busted down doors, attacked Capitol Police on the steps leading to the The Capitol, and police inside, defaced the interior, vocally threatened Congress members, including Vice-President Pence. They made their way into the inner sanctums of the Congressional chambers, went into Congress members desks, went into their offices, I mean, I could go on and on. Meanwhile, D.T. (I never say his name) refused to call back and tell the rioters to stop the attack. he pretty much called them to action at the march he had prior to the count. Stories have been said that many of his supporters announced something was going to happen on that day. All of this was to prevent the validation of the Electoral College votes, which was unsuccessful.

  So far, hundreds of people have been arrested, and convicted of various charges because of their involvement in the riot, or as many call it "insurrection." But no one, as of yet, who are members of Congress, or of the prior administration, have been charged. Perhaps the January 6th Investigating Committee are trying to insure they have all of the facts and evidence to make sure no one is missed when charges are leveled. 

  My hope is that this does not happen again, but I feel it will either during the mid-terms, or the next Presidential election. Either way, this empire may soon crumble.
