I'm a 60 something wife, mom and grandmom who is homebound/disabled by severe hypersensitivity to chemicals. I fill my days with learning, loving and art. My favorite values are truth, generosity and gratitude.
Dear Lord, We are so very grateful for the blessings You have bestowed upon everyone in the PoliNation community and for the opportunities You have given us to serve others. I pray that You would continue to guide us and give us the strength we need to carry out Your will. In Jesus Name. Amen.
GRAMMY NOTES: From our offspring –
“Happy Thanksgiving! The older I get, the more thankful I am to have grown up in our family where no matter what twists life takes, we’ve all been there and loved each other and tried to continue communicating with each other! Thank you for your love, support, general enthusiasm for my life and my family, and for showing up with open arms. I’ve always felt your love and support. I’ve never felt pressured to take a journey that wasn’t mine. And I love each of you so much for that.”
“Can I just say DITTO?!?!?! Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo”
DAILY PRAYER: Lord, I pray for your help in being productive today. I ask that you would give me the motivation and energy I need to tackle my tasks and responsibilities. I pray that I would be able to work efficiently and effectively, and that I would be able to accomplish all that I set out to do. I trust in your provision and guidance, and I pray that I would be able to use my time and resources wisely today. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
BACK THE BLUE: CLICK https://x.com/9mm_smg/status/1861161108918206853 [1:17] to see a worthy candidate for a Darwin award. Police responded to a 911 call saying a man had broken their car’s windshield and was going after one of them with an ax. The cop told him 22 times to put the ax down. Later video shows them doing first aid and getting the guy an ambulance. The guy, who was drunk, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of vandalism. Fortunately, he’s white, so the leftist outrage machine won’t bother ruining this good cop’s life.

FANI WILLIS: Fani Willis has received a letter from the United States Senate accusing her of spending $2.5 million in federal grants on herself. The money was allocated for a Youth Empowerment and Gang Prevention Center and a Sexual Assault Kit Initiative. You can see the letter at Senator Grassley site, linked below.
J6: [10:49] – Finally some GOOD news!! I apologize for not reporting on this travesty more regularly, but it upset me so much, I couldn’t even read the news reports.

LAWFARE: Trump tweeted, “These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought. Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME. Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before. They have also used State Prosecutors and District Attorneys, such as Fani Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade (who had absolutely zero experience in cases such as this, but was paid MILLIONS, enough for them to take numerous trips and cruises around the globe!), Letitia James, who inappropriately, unethically, and probably illegally, campaigned on “GETTING TRUMP” in order to win Political Office, and Alvin Bragg, who himself never wanted to bring this case against me, but was forced to do so by the Justice Department and the Democrat Party. It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

S&G: The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal is forcing the township of Emo and its mayor to compensate an LGBTQ activist group $10,000 for refusing to “Pride Month” in 2020. The mayor has to cough up half from his own finances.
And, to further humiliate, the tribunal ordered the mayor and the chief administrative officer of the township to enroll and complete a Human Rights 101 indoctrination course from the Ontario Human Rights Commission within the next month.
Inquiring minds wish to know which of the 12 months is designated for celebrating heterosexuality. And, do we even have a flag? Come on, cis Canadians! Rise up and demand your equal rights under this looney tunes government!
WASTE: The Biden administration awarded a $400,000 grant to Drexel University “to perform ‘quantitative’ interviews with 30 transgender men” in India’s two largest cities, Delhi and Mumbai. The researchers found the men tend to be depressed and recommended their government pay for hormone therapy and sex change surgeries. In India.

BORDER: The CBS/YouGov poll somehow managed to get both the 73% number above and this one … in the same poll. “Would you approve or disapprove of Donald Trump starting a national program to find and deport all immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally?”
Approve ……………………………………………………………………..57%
Disapprove …………………………………………………………………..43%
It begs one to wonder how they weighted the results to get 16% who said Trump should make something his #2 priority that they disapprove of him doing at all!
CALIFORNICATION: “Democrats have taken the most beautiful, resource-filled, and richest state and turned it into a poorly run welfare state,” writes Commodore Vanderbilt at Not The Bee. Between January 2022 and June 2024, California businesses added 5,400 new jobs, less than 1% of the national total for that 30 month period. California’s population is about 11-12% of the total for the country.
CDC: Trump picked pro-life former Congressman David Weldon to lead the Centers for Disease Control. Dr. David Weldon is a former Florida congressman, Army veteran, and medical doctor. Weldon’s accomplishments in Congress include the still-in-force Weldon Amendment. It prohibits local, state, and federal entities from requiring health insurance plans to cover abortion if they receive taxpayer dollars.
During the week of November 11-17, the Hallmark Channel beat out both MSNBC and CNN for primetime and total-day cable viewership. A well deserved result.
People who say, “You can not say that” are the real threat to democracy.
DEI: Somebody leaked news that Bloomberg and the New York Times both killed stories about a study that shows certain DEI practices increase hostility, authoritarian tendencies, and agreement with extreme rhetoric.
In better news, Walmart is ending their woke policies. The #1 employer in America, with over 1.6 million employees and they have a market cap of nearly $800B, has decided to totally discontinue the use of DEI and LatinX as terms in official communication, discontinue racial equity training through the Racial Equity Institute, end preferential treatment and benefits to suppliers based on diversity, identify and remove inappropriate sexual and / or transgender products marketed to children, avoid funding inappropriate sexualized content targeting kids.

MILITARY: A new report says that, as soon as Trump takes office, he will move to rid the military of its approximately 15,000 trans members as medically unfit to serve. I’ll say! I tried to sign up once, but was told the fact that I needed allergy shots twice a month made me ineligible. Trannies have to have regular doses of their medications and often suffer from ongoing health problems as a result of those medications and/or surgeries they may have had.
UK: Under new guidance issued by the British Transport Police (BTP), transgender police officers can strip-search women. Not The Bee says, “Normally, if a male police officer were to conduct a strip-search of a female suspect, it would be considered sexual assault.But put a dress on that man and give him a Gender-Recognition Certificate (GRC), and it’s A-OK!”
VAXXXINE: The results of the largest COVID-19 vaccine autopsy study to date was rejected twice by peer-reviewed journals. It has finally been published. The authors say their results provide “robust evidence that COVID-19 vaccines can cause death. This means that the FDA’s [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] criteria for a Class I recall have been fulfilled, warranting an immediate market withdrawal.”
The pope has approved this anime-style mascot for the 2025 Year of Jubilee, hoping it will appeal to young people. The official word is that she is a little pilgrim named Luce. Pronounced loo chay, it means light in Italian and light from the east in Latin.
Luce is a pilgrim. From her muddy boots to her walking staff to her raincoat, she is dressed for life’s journey to Christ. The raincoat is yellow, the color of the Vatican’s flag.
Luce’s hair and eyes are blue, the color traditionally assigned to hope and to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The gleam shining in her eyes is in the shape of the scallop shell, a symbol that has long been associated with Catholic pilgrimage, in particular the famous Camino Way in Spain.
Luce wears a World Mission rosary, which was created by Fulton Sheen. Wearing a rosary as a necklace is common in some places and frowned on in others, but it seems to be a practical choice for a pilgrim on the road.
The Jubilee 2025 logo is embroidered on the raincoat’s front in green, the liturgical color for the Ordinary seasons of the year, the time when we focus on growing in Christ. The Jubilee 2025 site says of the logo, “The anchor is well known as a symbol of hope. In maritime jargon the ‘anchor of hope’ refers to the reserve anchor used by vessels involved in emergency manoeuvres to stabilise the ship during storms. It is worth noting that the image illustrates the pilgrim’s journey not as an individual undertaking, but rather as something communal, marked by an increasing dynamism leading one ever closer to the cross. The cross in the logo is by no means static, but it is also dynamic. It bends down towards humanity, not leaving human beings alone, but stretching out to them to offer the certainty of its presence and the security of hope. At the bottom of the logo is the motto of the 2025 Jubilee Year.“
N.b., The colors on the official logo are not a nod to the “pride” flag, but rather denote the regions of the world as used on the World Mission rosary.
Aleteia reports, “Within days of her reveal, Luce became a prime source of inspiration for Catholic and anime artists alike, who created many beautiful tributes to Luce on art sites and social media.”
Personally, I like this variation better than the official one. Until I did the research for this article, I did not know about the pilgrim’s scallop shell, so found the shape of the sparkle in the official version’s eyes off putting. This one has Bethlehem stars!
The other reason I haven’t warmed up to the official Luce is that her forked “pilgrim staff” is much more commonly known as a stang, a forked staff used in various forms of occult rituals as a tool of power and respect. Various sites say it represents the World Tree, connecting the heavens and the earth and standing tall as a reminder of the witch’s place between worlds. It may be placed in the center of an altar or carried as a symbol of authority. It may be used to call on deities during rituals. One witch said she uses it to ground herself when she travels the celestial planes.
However, I did find one article that delved into a different source for the forked staff. It was published in 2018 after Pope Francis carried a stang staff with a nail through the forked branches. An article at Patheos says, “It was a gift to Pope Francis by a group of young people, who asked him to use it during the synod.”
Catholic bishops and popes each have a special staff known as a crosier, or shepherd’s crook. They carry during rituals to symbolize their roles as shepherds of God’s flock. Bishops’ crosiers can vary tremendously, but they generally have a crook at the top.
By contrast, the papal staff (known as a ferula, which is Latin for rod) has cross or crucifix on top. There is no set standard; the photo shows Pope Francis with two different ones.
I wasn’t the only one bothered by the pope’s synodal ferula’s resemblance to a witch‘s stang. However, a deacon did some research and found that, though rare, there are examples of forked crosses in our church’s history. The author says, “The three arms of the cross are meant to remind us of the Holy Trinity and the attributes of God: omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence.”
Another author writes, “This cross also resembles the Greek letter Upsilon which capitalized looks just like the English letter ‘Y’. The Greek Upsilon is often called Pythagoras’ letter as it is said he used it as a symbol to demonstrate human life where the two horns of the letter represent the two paths of vice and virtue. We all travel down a road in life, but it is not always the easy road and we come to a split into the road where we must choose where we will take our life. Will it be down the road of virtue or the one to ruin?” This explanation goes a long way toward making me more comfortable with Luce’s staff.
Some critics have also objected to the name Luce, suggesting it is short for Lucifer. Like luce, the Italian word for light, Lucifer, the name of the first and greatest angel God created, comes from the Latin for light. But Jesus called Himself “the light of the world.” Lucifer’s light only exists to the extent that God created it; plus, he only uses it for himself. Jesus’ light is not only self-existent, but also used to guide pilgrim’s to God. I guess I can get on board the Luce lovers’ pilgrim trail.
CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5ZpM36QfC3s and listen well. You will not feel the same way about Mass ever again … unless you already knew this, which I did not.
DEI: This crap should DIE. – Georgetown Law denied a student’s request to delay or take her exam at home, due to the fact that her newborn was only a few days old. The school told her that would not be possible, because it would be inequitable to all the other non-birthing students in her class. Instead, they suggested the new mother bring her days-old child to campus to take the exam with more time, so she could pause to breastfeed during the exam. They told her, “Motherhood is not for the Faint of Heart.” This is a violation of Title IX, something you might think that a LAW SCHOOL would know. When outraged students pushed back, the school relented. What a clown show. I can’t help wondering how many abortions the people who refused to accommodate this student have had or financed. Cuz, dayum, that is a lot of hate!
FLUORIDE: Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo issued new guidance on Nov. 22, advising against the long-standing practice of adding fluoride to the public drinking water supply.
“Adding fluoride to water increases the risk of neuropsychiatric disease in children and reduces their IQ,” Ladapo said in a post on X. “We can strengthen teeth without consuming this neurotoxin.”
I am grateful my community nixed the idea. I remembering writing a letter to the editor pointing out that the vast majority of the water we use is for washing and flushing, not drinking and that kids who are seeing pediatricians regularly are offered fluoride supplements if the parents want them. Moreover, the poor kids who do not get such care are also the ones least likely to drink water; however, they are the most likely to be taken to the county’s free vaccine clinics. I suggested it would be more cost effective to use a tiny fraction of the proposed fluoridation money to provide free fluoride drops at those clinics. Our dentist was also vehemently opposed, pointing out that fluoride is commonly used as a rat poison. They dropped the plan.

SEC AG: Trump has chosen Brooke Rollins to lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in his administration.
“Brooke’s commitment to support the American Farmer, defense of American Food Self-Sufficiency, and the restoration of Agriculture-dependent American Small Towns is second to none. As our next Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke will spearhead the effort to protect American Farmers, who are truly the backbone of our Country.”
Rollins grew up in a farming family in Glen Rose, Texas. She participated in Future Farmers of America and 4H. She studied agriculture development at Texas A&M University and worked in the first Trump administration, then went on to become the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute.

In 2022, Newsbusters reported the “harpies on The Spew” (not my line, but too good not to steal) were forced to issue three dozen such notes over that one year. Hostin responded on air to the report, saying that legal notes are not an admission of error, but insulation from legal liability.

In other stupid news, Oregon (55.3% Harris/Walz) just announced it has adopted a Climate Protection Program aimed at cutting fossil fuel pollution by 90% by 2050. Translation: Oregon increases its efforts to reduce its population and tax base by driving industry and jobs elsewhere.
FAUXTUS: Alleged Catholic and President Joe Biden gave former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Wednesday, citing her work to “advance women’s reproductive rights.”
MAHA: Trump has nominated Dr. Marty Makary to head the Food and Drug Administration. Makary is a Johns Hopkins professor and surgeon who has been an outspoken critic of COVID-19 mandates.
Trump has nominated Dr. Dave Weldon to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Weldon is a former congressman, a physician with 40 years of experience, and an Army veteran.
STATE DEPARTMENT: CLICK https://x.com/kayleighmcenany/status/1860027449414943214 [6:42] to hear Kayleigh McEnany comment on why the State Department held therapy sessions for federal employees after Trump’s election victory. Taxpayer monies are paying for this garbage. I’m thinking this will make it easier for DOGE to identify those who need to unburdened of working for Trump and freed to pay for their own therapy!
SURGEON GENERAL: Put another tick mark in the Fox News > Trump cabinet column. Fox contributor Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, MD, has been nominated to serve as Surgeon General of the United States. She said, “Thank you, Mr. President, for your trust. I pledge to work tirelessly to promote health, inspire hope, and serve our nation with dedication and compassion.” I’m guessing that, unlike Biden’s pick, she will also care about something besides trans rights.
TREASURY: Trump said, “Scott is widely respected as one of the world’s foremost international investors and geopolitical and economic strategists. Scott’s story is that of the American Dream.”
Many news outlets trumpeted the nominee for being a homosexual. Wikipedia says he is married to a man named John and that they have two kids. But, as Swain says, why should we care? I liked it better when what homosexuals did in the privacy of their homes was … you know … private.
I am delighted to see that Epoch Times, the only paper to which I $ub$cribe, did not mention Bessent’s sexual orientation even once. The Epoch Times report does say, “Bessent (62) is a Wall Street veteran and founder of international macro investment company Key Square Group. He served as a key economic adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign.”
TRUMP APPOINTMENTS: Also nominated are Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) for secretary of Labor, Scott Turner for secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Linda McMahon for secretary of Education.
ATTORNEY GENERAL: Shortly after Matt Gaetz withdrew his name, Trump nominated former Florida AG Pam Bondi for the post. CLICK https://x.com/FoxFriendsFirst/status/1858861198613111061 [3:01] to see her comment on the FEMA scandal.
On MSNBC, college professor and contributor Jason Johnson warned that Bondi in the AG slot should spark “fear” among the left because she’s competent, knows the job, and might actually execute Trump’s agenda. Oh noes!
CATHOLIC: I think it’s about how, when we suffer gracefully, we grow in holiness, and the more holy we are at death, the more of God’s glory we will enjoy throughout eternity.
CANNABIS: A new study entitled “Key insights into cannabis-cancer pathobiology and genotoxicity” was published last week in Addiction Biology.” It reports on research done at the University of Western Australia that found exposure to cannabis associated with birth defects and a range of cancers – breast, pancreatic, liver, thyroid, testicular and lymphoma – that develop quickly and are more aggressive than the usual. They also found that cannabis use could cause DNA mutations that could be passed on to children. Recreational marijuana use is legal in 24 states, 3 U.S. territories and the District of Columbia.
TARGET: “Merry Christmas” is back! In other YES! News, Target has apologized to and rehired an employee in their Fargo, North Dakota store who had written “Trust in Jesus” on her name tag.
NEW YORK: Judge Juan Merchan has delayed sentencing indefinitely in President Trump’s hush money case and has granted Trump permission to file a motion to dismiss the case.
WASHINGTON: Olympus Spa has lost its appeal to the 9th Circuit Court. The spa took to the courts to fight Washington State’s requirement that biologically intact males be permitted in the women’s-only, nude spaces. Ninth Circuit Court Judge M. Margaret McKeown, a Clinton appointee, ruled the spa’s policy to be equivalent to a “whites only” rule. Let’s pray the Supremes take this on and establish that the rights of real women to privacy and safety are more important than … you know.
CABLES: As I reported yesterday, two undersea communications cables in the Baltic Sea, one between Germany and Finland and the other connecting Lithuania and Sweden, were cut on the same day. MSN reports that the Chinese bulk carrier Yi Peng 3, en route from Ust-Luga in Russia to Port Said, was in the exact location of both cables at the moment they were cut, and was also tracked as slowing down both times.
DIDDY: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is behind bars as he awaits trial. I don‘t know how many charges they’ll go for, but there are reportedly more than 120 people who have filed criminal and civil charges. Many say he drugged and raped them.
GAETZ: “It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.”
GERMANY: “There are, unfortunately, neighborhoods in Berlin with a majority of residents from Arab backgrounds where there is open sympathy for terrorist organizations and very blatant antisemitism.” This warning comes after “6,200 investigations related to antisemitism” in Germany since October 2023.
JESUS IS GOD: The earliest inscription declaring Jesus as God was discovered beneath the floor of an Israeli prison and is now on display in America. Known as the Megiddo Mosaic, the massive (581 square feet) piece dates from 230 AD. It is the oldest-known inscription outside of Scripture to declare the deity of Jesus Christ.
LAKEN RILEY: The illegal charged in her death has been found guilty on all charges. These included one count of malice murder, three counts of felony murder and one count each of kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, hindering an emergency telephone call, tampering with evidence, and being a ‘peeping Tom.’ The killer is a member of the Tren de Aragua gang that has set up shop in more than a dozen U.S. cities. This particular member, Jose Ibarra, is not only here illegally, but also, thanks to the Biden administration, was put up in hotels and flown to his preferred destination at taxpayers’ expense before he murdered Riley.

PENNSYLVANIA: [2:06] – I think Casey’s post-election behavior is proof positive that he should not be returned to Congress.
TRANS: To his/her credit, Delaware Representative-elect “Sarah” McBride has agreed to use the men’s rooms while at work. McBride’s statement said in part, “I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families.”
Rep. Nancy Mace, the congresswoman who has loudly objected to allowing McBride share her rest room is a rape survivor who suffers from chronic PTSD. McBride is a fully intact man who dresses up as a woman. In AOC’s teeny tiny brain, Mace has no right to be bothered about sharing her potty time with a penis. Remember when Democrats were all over that #MeToo thing?
BORDER: Mass invasion of a country is an act of war. Removing the invaders is a proportional response. – The governors of Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, and Massachusetts, as well as the mayors of Chicago and Boston, have announced their intention to defy Trump’s deportation orders.
CATHOLIC: [7:15] – If you are concerned about our current pope, this is well worth watching.
COMMERCE: Trump has nominated billionaire Howard Lutnick to “lead our Tariff and Trade agenda, with additional direct responsibility for the Office of the United States Trade Representative.”
COMMUNICATIONS: Two undersea fiber-optic communication cables have been cut. Both are in the Baltic Sea, one between Lithuania and Sweden and the other between Finland and Germany. Germany’s Defense Minister says he believes the damage is sabotage, but nobody knows who did it.
EDUCATION: Trump has nominated Linda McMahon to serve as secretary of the Department of Education with his mandate to “send Education BACK TO THE STATES.”
GAETZ: If you’ve heard that Gaetz is a sex trafficker and/or child predator, please be aware that a years-long DOJ investigation into his alleged trafficking of a 17-year-old girl found absolutely nothingand was dropped in 2023. Of course, the lefties are resurrecting it to smear him before his confirmation hearings. CLICK https://x.com/CatchUpFeed/status/1859177287746285628 [:47] to hear The View’s Sunny Hostin flap her lying pie hole and then read a statement of the facts. She clearly wasn’t happy about being forced to speak the truth.
MEDICARE and MEDICAID: Trump has nominated famed television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz to head up the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Oz has degrees from Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Wharton Business School. He has worked as a heart surgeon and taught cardiothoracic surgery at Columbia University. Trump wants him to work with RFK Jr. “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.” Oz will also be tasked with cutting waste and fraud in the agency, which he said makes up “a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire national budget.”
S&G: Democrat Sarah McBride, an openly trans mtf, has won Delaware’s U.S. House seat and will be joining his/her new colleagues in January. When asked if McBride a man or a woman, Speaker Johnson said, “I’m not going to engage is silly debates about this.” Rep. Nancy Mace (R) clearly doesn’t think the issue is silly. She wants people with penises barred from using the female congressional bathrooms. CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1858925325977350599 [:40] to hear her explain why.
TRANSPORTATION: Trump has nominated former Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin to replace Mayor Pete Bootyjudge as his Secretary of Transportation. After leaving Congress, Duffy became a co-host on FOX Business Network’s The Bottom Line. I think Fox must be counting their nominees like sports fans count their nation’s Olympic medals! LOL
GRAMMY NOTES: A so-called bomb cyclone could deliver the biggest storm in 60 years to Northern California. Please pray for those affected, which include our Mascots and especially Papa Buzz who is in the field training soldiers.
BORDER: On Monday, Trump said he is planning to declare a national emergency and use the U.S. military to carry out mass deportations. If any Dems you know object, remind them what Clinton did to capture and deport a six year old.
LITERALLY HITLER: Scott Jennings noted the raging hypocrisy of Democrats and their lapdogs in the Left Stream Media. “It’s amazing that ‘literally Hitler’ is getting all these meeting requests. What it tells me is that all the rhetoric that came from the left, from the Democrats, from The White House, from Kamala Harris and everyone else before the election. All of the rhetoric, the fascism, the Hitler, the Nazi rally, it was all a bunch of BS. They didn’t mean any of it. If I were in the Democrat sort of rabble’s shoes, I would be looking at all my leaders and going: ‘Did you just BS me for an entire six weeks before the election?’“
MORNING JOE: Joe Scarborough and his wife, Mika Brzezinski, have spent the last umpteen years slandering Trump and his followers. After election day, their already pathetic rating plummeted so they called Trump and ask for a meeting. Trump, who must be the most gracious not-really-a-politician on the planet, hosted them for breakfast at Mar-a-Lago.
WWIII: On Sunday, AP reported, “President Joe Biden has for the first time authorized Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia.”
Vladimir Putin has said in the past that this would constitute an act of war by NATO.
This morning, CNBC reported, “Russia says Ukraine attacked it using U.S.-made missiles.”
In response, Putin signed an “updated nuclear doctrine” authorizing the use of nuclear weapons in the event of a mass drone strike or aggression against Belarus.
Donald Trump said, “I’m calling on Putin and Zelensky to meet with me and end this terrible war. We’re closer to nuclear WWIII than ever. The killing must stop!“
