You know Russia isn't doing well in its war with Ukraine when it has to grovel to North Korea for ammunition. This is another sign that Putin underestimated Ukraine when he illegally invaded that sovereign nation. Who starts a war knowing he's going to run out of soldiers and bullets? Russia has hired mercenaries to... Continue Reading →
Putin’s Musky Puppet
Putin has a new puppet and his name is Elon Musk. The Russian president has been putting together a very disgusting friends list lately which includes Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Ted Rally, Elon Musk, and Yevgeny Prighozin... No, scratch that last one. Starlink is a satellite internet service that's operated by SpaceX,... Continue Reading →
Prigozhin Office Pool
If you had "plane shot down by missile" in your Yevgeniy Prigozhin office pool, congratulations. You probably won. Probably won? What does that mean? Right now, it's speculated that Prigozhin is dead because his name was on the manifesto of the plane that suddenly nosedived into Russian turf outside Moscow. I was talking to my...

Free Press Free Kansas
One of the greatest dangers to this nation is our loss of freedom and what contributes to that is that so many people can't recognize when our freedom is under attack, such as your right to vote or a women's right to make decisions over her own body. But another that's in danger is the... Continue Reading →
Trolling the Troll Farm
I previously wrote about the young man I met on the Sloop John B. Amtrak ride from Hell who told me he read on the "internet" that President Biden had been diagnosed with dementia. This young man wasn't stupid or uneducated and I believe he truly did read what he claimed on the internet. The... Continue Reading →
Wag the Dog
I think it's safe to say at this point that Russian President Vladimir Putin's illegal war with Ukraine is not going well. And who could have foreseen that hiring ruthless mercenaries would blow up in your face? The Wagner Group is a mercenary organization head by Yevgeny Prigozhin (who's a former hot dog salesman), who... Continue Reading →
Enemies of the Russian State
I'm sad about not winning recognition this year. No, I'm not talking about my failure to even place in any journalism awards for 2022 (what do they know anyway, right?). I'm talking about failing to make Vladimir Putin's enemy list. At first, you might think I'm crazy. Why should I make Putin's enemy list? I'm... Continue Reading →
Putin’s Enemies List
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I'm going to cover this issue again, but next time for my newspaper clients. I'll blog about it then. Creative note: My editor chose this cartoon pretty early in the day last Friday, around 2 p.m. So... Continue Reading →
Putin-Approved Targets
Russia claims that Ukraine attacked the Kremlin overnight with two drones in an assassination attempt on the life of President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine says it did not do it as they don't have enough weaponry to even defend itself, less enough to attack a target 0ver 530 miles from Ukraine's border (I research). Russia has...

Be Like Tucker
Last year after Putin illegally invaded Ukraine, the Duma (Russia's legislative body) created a "fake news" law that would punish journalists and their outlets for reporting "misinformation" about the war. Who would do the deciding on what's "fake news" in Russia? The Russian government of course. Russian and international news organizations either withdrew their reporters... Continue Reading →
