British PM is accused of withholding report of Russian interference

in affairs, including elections. This comes prior to the elections in December. In my mind, this closely parallels the actions of our own Mr. T and his sycophants.

Widow of ex-KGB agent plans legal action on UK's Russia report

LONDON (Reuters) - The widow of a Russian dissident murdered in London plans to challenge a decision by Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government not to publish a report on alleged Russian meddling in Britain, a lawyer representing the widow said.

On this day, I thank our current

I was born of a southern family. The men and women served in every war since the Revolution. They served no party, no political cause, they served duty, honor, family and this great country.

My father served in WW2, my brothers in Viet Nam.

That Cadet Bone Spurs commands the military is beyond my ability to comment on without obscenities and anger.
