This is an odd push back for the state rights crowd.

It’s absolutely traitorous that a Cold War veteran as your self would be ok with destroying everything we have gained by backing Europe since the end of WW2, just to appease the ego of commander bone spurs. 60% of US investment is in Europe, and 60% of their investments are in the US. US companies employ about 5 million people, and they employ about same number of Americans. It’s equally ignorant to still call Harris a commie, in light of the fact that Trump is Putin’s beetch, and literally called himself a King.

February 20Feb 20 How these people keep losing elections to awful human beings is quite a mystery! Quote Performing Arts As Trump takes over leadership at Kennedy Center, some protest through dance February 18, 202512:10 PM ET Heard on All Things Considered Elizabeth Blair Performers dance outside of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Monday. The dance was part of a protest against new leadership by President Trump. David Dowling Protesters chanted across Washington, D.C. on Monday to demonstrate against executive orders signed by President Donald Trump. But outside the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, one of the performing arts landmarks of the United States, there was a different kind of protest: a dance. Thirty-four dancers performed The Nelken Line, a piece by choreographer Pina Bausch that pays homage to the seasons. It's been performed widely since Bausch created it in 1982. There's even a tutorial. In the piece, dancers walk in a single-file line and make synchronized movements. "It felt symbolic in that we're moving in unison," says dancer and educator Kelly King who organized the protest, "And there's something just compelling to see a straight line of movers dancing this way in a march." The dancers are protesting the leadership changes at the Kennedy Center, which operates under a private-public partnership and receives some federal funding. Traditionally, it has a bipartisan board. But now the board consists of members appointed solely by Trump, with the president himself as the chair, which is the first time a president has served in that role. King says, historically, the Kennedy Center's dance offerings have been largely focused on "classical ballet and very white programming or European-based programming." But in the past decade or so, she's seen a shift that includes "many more contemporary works and some under the radar dance offerings that give both artists and audience an opportunity to expand their horizons. And that has been really exciting and encouraging to see." She and the other dancers are worried about whether that kind of diversity will continue under the new administration. A spokesperson for the Kennedy Center tells NPR, "There have not been changes made to the Center's dance programming nor are there any changes planned." King says the protest came together quickly. After spreading the word on social media, she set up two Zoom rehearsals. She chose the Bausch work because it's simple enough that dancers of all ages and abilities could master it easily. Performers gather outside of the Kennedy Center on Monday to protest new leadership. They're worried that the diversity of dance programming might be curtailed. David Dowling King says nobody at the Kennedy Center tried to stop any of the dancers, though a handful of security guards followed them as they danced around the perimeter of the building for about 30 minutes. "They were unsure of what they were going to encounter with us," says King, "And as I spoke to them individually and they saw what we were doing, they realized that we were certainly not a threat. And I think perhaps by the end they were entertained." Audio and digital edited and web page produced by Jennifer Vanasco.

February 20Feb 20 I loathe the idea of Putin winning anything, and am no fan of the news of the past few days. The questions I keep coming back to though are how can Ukraine "win" without an international force joining the fight with boots on the ground and planes in the air and are Americans willing to sacrifice our military for war against Russia (and China and N Korea)? I don't want to send our troops. If you're for expanding our efforts, why didn't we do the same when Putin took Crimea? Absent another world war Russia is going to win this. How long do we keep spinning our wheels?

How long do we keep spinning our wheels? Easy answer. Come up with a peace plan that gives Russia the land they currently have and immediately invites the remainder of Ukraine to NATO. That is it! That is all Trump has to do. Putin has no leg to stand on. Then flood what remains of Ukraine with western funding and you never see Russia make a move like this again.

It would take a dramatic escalation to reverse that and Ukraine doesn't have the manpower to make that happen. Maybe the Europeans want to send their troops to help but I doubt their citizenry would really be down with that.

You know, if they can make this happen then do it now. I don't see any way Putin accepts NATO membership for Ukraine though.

Russia has stopped reporting casualties because they are afraid to send bad news up to command. So the numbers are tough to pinpoint.... There have been heavy losses on both sides. The Russian army is suffering as much as Ukraine. This is a war of attrition.

Forty-five is 9 letters and 49 is only 2 numbers. 9 is bigger than 2
