   No offense, but it sounds like US TV news has done it’s work.

   scenes 138pm – I appreciate the gentle reprimand Mr scenes. But a leader, previously corrupt with dictatorial tendencies, can also revert to become an heroic leader of a small country when attacked by a greater villain. You can’t always pick your players, but you can decide your favorite.

   My primary interest it to have the thing done, with the least cost to Ukraine, Russia, and, not coincidentally, moi.
   It could be that the lowest cost answer is not to be a comic book character, but that makes for a poor news cycle. A ‘hero’ is a funny thing, it’s one more result of successful propaganda and rarely is what I would think of as a hero, someone who takes great personal risk to help others with little benefit to themselves. The term is highly cheapened I think. There are likely quite a few heroes in Ukraine v. Russia, but they almost always lack personal drivers.

   RaWashington state agency blocked White attendee from seminar targeted to people of color, spokesperson admits
   King County officials blamed the action on ‘technical issues’cists in govt again –
   “Following your inquiry and subsequent information received by staff, an investigation occurred to gather all the facts and full understanding of the events that took place,” Gallagher told Rantz. “That investigation found in fact there was a deliberate decision by one of the employees involved in the session to remove an individual from the event. The information provided by that employee led to the response that was relayed to you, which we know now was not accurate.”
   The employee responsible for blocking the KCSO staffer resigned their position following the investigation, according to Gallagher.
