[NYPOST] The Queens man accused of hacking his nephew to death with a machete gave a grisly step-by-step account of the murder to cops, admitting, "I chopped him up," prosecutors revealed Monday.
"I’ve had enough," Mahadeo Suhnandan, 50, allegedly told police after the Sunday morning slashing death of his kin, 29-year-old Neraz Roberts, inside the family’s Hollis home.
"His whole life he wanted to kill me," Suhnandan said of the victim, according to authorities. "I chopped him up.
"I heard Neraz say he would kill me if he caught me outside," he said. "I got my ’Cutlass’ from my bed — it’s a machete. It has a wooden handle.
"I went downstairs, kicked open his door and asked him why he wants to kill me.
"He poked me with something, and I chopped him three times," Suhnandan allegedly said. "I pause between the second and third chop and said, ’You want to kill me? I will kill you,’ and then continued to chop him.
"The blood on my feet and on my sandals is his," he added. "He asked me why I chopped him. I leaned back for leverage for the big chops that caught him in the neck."
The bone-chilling account came as Judge Diego Freire ordered Suhnanda held without bail on murder charges at his arraignment in Queens court Monday.
Even the defendant’s lawyer, David Donaldson Strachan of Queens Defenders, told the judge at one point of the case, "I know, it’s a doozy."
The defendant remained quiet and composed during the proceedings.
"He has no criminal record, and this is his first arrest," Strachan noted to the judge.
Police said the brutal slaying occurred around 5 a.m. Sunday after the pair got into a heated argument the day before, prosecutors said.
Suhnandan allegedly said he called cops Saturday night after his nephew told him "he wanted to shoot me in the head" and planned to go to the 103rd Precinct later Sunday.
On Sunday, a family neighbor told The Post the family was feuding over ownership of the house after Suhnandan’s mother-in-law died from COVID about 2 1/2 years ago.
Neighbor Ryan Basdeo said the dead woman’s son — Roberts’ father — disputed ownership but was kicked out by Suhnandan earlier this year. Suhnandan is married to the dead woman’s daughter.
Roberts continued to live in the basement until he was slashed to death.
"Since the mother died, they’ve been fighting," Basdeo said. "Always cops coming here."
[NYPOST] A man was arrested last week in connection to the death of a Texas mother of four who was found dead in the trunk of her car last month, authorities said.
Christopher Maldonado was charged with tampering/ fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair (human corpse) in connection to the death of 24-year-old Angela Leean Mitchell, according to Texas City Police.
Texas City Police and US Marshals made the arrest during a traffic stop Friday.
Maldonado was the last person Mitchell was known to have been with before she disappeared, according to a missing persons flyer created by her loved ones.
Mitchell’s decomposing body was found inside the trunk of her white Honda sedan in Texas City on May 11 after police received a report of a foul odor.
Police have not revealed her suspected cause of death, but have cited the case as a "suspicious death investigation." The Galveston County Medical Examiner is conducting an autopsy.
Mitchell’s mother reported her missing May 6, after she failed to return to her home in Dickinson the night before.

I wonder what percentage of men just don't give a fuck. By Erin Keller
[NYPost] If you like a man’s gray hair, you should tell him. A new study shows that it will probably make him feel better.
A survey of 2,000 men across all generations — conducted by OnePoll and L’Oreal Paris — looked into how they deal with natural changes to their appearance that come with aging.
Half of the participants currently had gray hair and 44 percent of them were self-conscious about it.
That could be why 38 percent of men choose to dye their grays. An overwhelming 70 percent of participants worry that gray hair makes them look older, while 42 percent worry others will find them less attractive with silver locks.
The graying process can start early — in one’s 20s, if not even sooner — but the survey found that Gen Xers and baby boomers aren’t comfortable with the aging color gray until they are nearly 50.
One of the top concerns for millennials (34 percent) and Gen X men (39 percent) is going gray, which can contribute to why 45 percent of men admitted they sometimes feel pressure to look younger than they are. Read the rest at the link

Cousins, Earl and Helen. Earl was a WWII vet and nearing 100. Helen was 95 and no longer mobile. Both shared a very nice mini-apt in a care facility. On my last visit to see them, Helen told me, "I'm not doing so good and we don't know a soul around here anymore. I'm ready to go."

My father was totally grey at 19. Given that he was stretching toward the 5’4” height listed on his passport, and his boyishly round face, it must have given him the gravitas he needed as he dealt with the adult world — it was during the Great Depression, and he suddenly had to support himself at age 15 1/2.
I would have loved to have been grey that early — a young face with old hair is a stunning look — but sadly I take after my mother.
[NYPOST] A man in London picked the wrong place at the wrong time to stir up trouble.
Julius Francis, a 57-year-old former professional boxer who was once the British champion and in 2000 fought Mike Tyson, is now a security guard at BOXPARK Wembley.
In the video, a man in a blue du-rag is seen repeatedly yelling obscenities at the security staff and other people who appeared to be workers at the venue, saying “f–k you!” too many times to count, and yelling, “I’ll f–k you up!”
Warning: violence and language
Former British heavyweight champion Julius Francis (who fought Mike Tyson) now working as security at BOXPARK Wembley and dealing with some trouble today…
The man shoves multiple people as a group of security guards try to nudge him away from a set of guardrails around the space.
About 45 seconds into the clip, Francis unleashes an absolutely vicious right-hand, knocking the rabble rouser down with one of the most severe head-shots you’ll ever see in a viral internet video.
“When your mouth writes a check …” observed Sports Illustrated and DAZN boxing reporter Chris Mannix.

[MSN] Caterpillar Inc. said Tuesday it will move its global headquarters from Illinois to an existing divisional office in Irving, Texas, in the Dallas-Forth Worth area, in another blow to the Chicago area, which last month lost the Boeing Co. headquarters.
The move is "in the best strategic interest of the company," Chief Executive Jim Umpleby said in a statement. The heavy-machinery maker has had a presence in Texas since the 1960s, it said.
Even with the move, Illinois has the largest concentration of Caterpillar employees anywhere in the world, the company said. The headquarters was historically in downstate Peoria, Ill., before a move to the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, in 2017.
Caterpillar said it will begin the relocation this year, without proving further details.
Boeing in May said it was moving its global headquarters to Arlington, Va., outside Washington, D.C., promising to keep a "significant presence" in Chicago, where it moved in 2001 from Seattle.
Texas also welcomed Tesla Inc. headquarters last year, with Chief Executive Elon Musk blaming the San Francisco Bay Area’s lack of affordable housing for the move. Tesla was headquartered in Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Musk had said in 2020 he had moved to Texas, saying that Silicon Valley has had "too much influence in the world."
Shares of Caterpillar fell 0.4% in midday trading Tuesday. The stock has lost about 0.3% so far this year, contrasting with losses of more than 21% for the S&P 500.

Given the politic craziness, taxes and the union leadership in the LSD's pockets screw over members in ILL-inois.
I can understand why a right-to-work state (Texas, GA and etc...) are appealing to Manufacturers.
Where a person cannot be denied employment because of membership or non-membership in a labor union or other labor organization.
Don't give me wrong, Unions "once" served a badly needed purpose. But like too many things, it has become politically corrupted and abused for votes.
Many States now have laws that offer the same work environment safety union originally shalt. Supply and demand for skilled workers now sets the pay scale.

Mustang Plaza a.k.a. Williams Square is a very cool place Caterpillar is moving to. New restaurants, The Cork and Pig, The Thirsty Lion, Toyota Music Factory (concerts) Pacific Table (sea food), La Cocina, and the 5 star resort hotel Omni Mandalay with a massive lakeside pool area are just a few fun things within a block of the Caterpillar headquarters. It all sits on a man made lake called Lake Carolyn named after the wife of the ranch owner John Carpenter who owned the area as a huge Ranch years ago. Lake Carolyn has canals and Italian Gondolas rowed by Italian dressed operators through canals and on the lake. Along the canals Quenticerra (the 15th birthday) of hispanic girls is celebrated with them in beautiful Quenticerra dresses on the weekends along the Lake Carolyn canals because of the Spain/Mediterranean architecture is like Spain.
This area of Irving is called Las Colinas (The Colony) and is the home of over 2,000 company headquarters from Xerox to Exxon Mobil, to Citibanc. DFW International Airport is 5 minutes away. There is nothing like Las Colinas in the world.

[NYPOST] Massive floodwaters ravaged Yellowstone National Park and nearby communities Monday, washing out roads and bridges, cutting off electricity, and forcing visitors to evacuate parts of the iconic park at the height of summer tourist season.
All entrances to Yellowstone were closed due to the deluge, caused by heavy rains and melting snowpack, while park officials ushered tourists out of the most affected areas.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, though dozens of stranded campers had to be rescued by raft in south-central Montana. Authorities also said they would be assessing a potential "loss of homes and structures" in Montana’s Stillwater County.
Elsewhere, some of the worst damage happened in the northern part of the Yellowstone and the park’s gateway communities in southern Montana. National Park Service photos of northern Yellowstone showed a landslide, a bridge washed out over a creek, and roads badly undercut by churning floodwaters of the Gardner and Lamar rivers.

Stryuk added that the police and military are trying to help people who still remain in Severodonetsk. There is no longer any possibility of a centralized evacuation.

[Korrespondent] 23:33 Podolyak explained why negotiations with Moscow are impossible at the current stage: "For us, any peace process today, which was in 2014-2015, is fraught with a postponed war. This is the first component. The second component must be very clearly understood if we stop where today, we will not get money, investments. Ukraine will rot from an economic point of view. No one will invest in a country with a postponed war."
23:05 The point of the Ramstein-3 meeting is for countries to get together and hear, first of all, from Ukraine, what it needs, and decide what contributions they want to make in the future, Julian Smith, US Ambassador to NATO, said on the air of the telethon.

23:01 Zelensky asked Zaluzhny to be very attentive to reports in the media and social networks that some Ukrainian fighters do not have enough personal protective equipment: "The reports that I receive differ significantly from what is being discussed by society. And I expect verification logistics in the army - checking what is supplied and how personal protective equipment is distributed. Today, everyone who is in war zones should have enough of everything necessary for protection. The state provides such supplies. "
22:57 Zelensky announced in an evening video message about his conversation with the Prime Minister of Canada, as well as with the President of Ecuador, who was elected a member of the UN Security Council: "He informed about the current situation on the battlefield and called for increasing pressure on Russia to end this war.

22:26 Zelensky, in an evening video message, said that Ukraine needs modern anti-missile weapons, and delaying its provision "cannot be justified." According to him, Kyiv made the first requests for anti-missile systems long before the full-scale invasion. And this week there will be many different negotiations, the president noted, "and not only with European politicians who are capable of providing Ukraine with modern anti-missile systems."
22:07 Since February 24, the Germans have donated 812 million euros to Ukraine - this is the largest nominal amount of charitable contributions from German citizens since the Second World War, the German Central Institute for Social Problems (DZI) reported.

Kyiv said that every day in the battles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine they lose from 150 to 200 soldiers.
“Ukrainians know better what they are dealing with and we are actively asking them for information about the conditions on the battlefield. In general, we consider their assessment reliable and reliable. I would say that the numbers are not beyond what you would expect from such kind of artillery combat," said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
21:10 Today it became known that all the bridges across the Seversky Donets, separating Severodonetsk and Ukraine-controlled Lisichansk and the rest of the Donbass, were destroyed by the Russian army - the evacuation of civilians and the supply of humanitarian aid is now impossible.

20:18 Putin probably still wants to capture a large part, if not all of Ukraine, US Under Secretary of Defense for Political Affairs Colin Kohl said: "I still think he has plans for a large part of Ukraine, if not all country. At the same time, I do not think that he can achieve this goal. <...> They can achieve tactical successes here and there. The Ukrainians are holding on. I do not think that the Russians are capable of achieving these grandiose goals."
20:10 The status of a candidate for EU membership is very important for Ukraine, since it will allow to consolidate the European vector of the development of the state, Kuleba said in a comment to NV: "Why is this status so important? It will legally strengthen Ukraine in the European integration project. This is a bullet point after decades European policy of strategic uncertainty in relation to Ukraine. Uncertainty that has ceased to be constructive."
According to him, the green light for Ukraine's candidacy will destroy the long-standing narrative of Russian propagandists that "Ukrainians can never become part of the EU."

So he answered the question of Danish journalists about whether Ukraine will shell the territory of Russia if the West agrees to it: "No. We are not interested in shelling civilians. We are not terrorists to shell civilian quarters. We are normal healthy people. This weapon is for us needed to liberate our state."
The President explained that there are places in Ukraine where Ukrainian defenders are concentrated at a distance of more than 100 km from the Russian occupiers. Therefore, according to Zelensky, Ukraine needs appropriate weapons that would reach them at such a distance.
18:15 A rocket was also shot down over the Ivano-Frankivsk region today, Svetlana Onischuk, head of the OVA, said. There were no casualties or damage to infrastructure.
18:03 Zelensky said that Ukraine will be ready for negotiations with the Russian invaders only when the occupiers are ready to end the war: "I am not looking for a balance to agree on something. We know exactly what we are doing. I have no doubts "We are ready to speak only when the other side is ready to end the war. There is no time for chatter."
17:51 During a press conference for journalists in Denmark, Zelensky said that the speed of de-occupation of the state's territories depends on the supply of weapons to Ukraine, and any delay in this matter is fraught with stagnation at the front. And the strength of Ukraine and the ability to withstand the Russian army depend on the unity of Europe and the world: "If Ukraine is not strong, Russia will go further. Kyiv is not the finish line in its marathon."
17:33 In Mariupol, the invaders have strengthened the control regime. Despite the checkpoints removed inside the city, control over the exit towards the Zaporozhye region has become tougher. All the trails are not just plowed up - the invaders are partially mining, partially setting up new roadblocks, said Petr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of the city. The issuance of entry and exit passes is blocked by bureaucratic refusals without explanation. The only way out of the city is Donetsk or Russia right away - "coercion to "self-deportation" is gaining momentum," the adviser said.
17:16 The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation announced that it limits the publication of data on budget reporting in order to minimize the risks of additional sanctions.
16:57 Syria is ready to recognize the independence of the "DPR", said Dmitry Sablin, coordinator of the group for relations between the State Duma and the SAR parliament, citing Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad.
Until now, the independence of the "LDNR" from the UN member states, except for Russia, has not been recognized by anyone. The "republics" recognized only Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
16:49 The Cabinet of Ministers agreed on "transport visa-free" with the EU. According to Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Mustafa Nayem, Ukrainian carriers have been waiting for this for almost five years - "in short, the signing of this agreement will have the same significance for carriers as the abolition of visas with EU countries." According to Nayem, after the signing of the agreement on transport liberalization, the problem of lack of permits for international transportation will be finally resolved. The signing of the document is planned before the end of June.
16:28 Ukrainian air defense systems are not anti-missile, their main task is to shoot down enemy planes and helicopters, so not all missiles can be shot down, Yury Ignat, press secretary of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, explained: "We have air defense systems in service, and not missile defense. The main task of our anti-aircraft missile systems is enemy aircraft - planes, helicopters. But we also shoot down cruise missiles. Yes, unfortunately, not all of them."
According to him, Russian missiles are high-tech and designed to be stealthy and fly at ultra-low altitudes, from 50 meters: "It can fly, say, along the Dniester, as it has been since the beginning of the war, it disappears from radar, and does not all air defense systems can destroy it."
16:20 In Mariupol, the occupiers actually stopped the exhumation of bodies, said Petr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor. According to him, the Russians made the process of reburial of Mariupol residents as difficult as possible, shifting all the problems onto the townspeople. Now you need to wait for the investigator with the prosecutor to carry out the exhumation, take the body to Donetsk for a forensic examination and only then bury it in a specially designated place. And at each stage you have to pay.
15:47 The "LPR" stated that there are up to 2,500 military personnel on the territory of the Azot plant in Severodonetsk, of which up to 20-25% are "foreign mercenaries."
15:33 Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from United Russia Yevgeny Fedorov proposed to withdraw the recognition of the independence of three more countries - Ukraine, Estonia and Latvia: "We just started with Lithuania. And it is clear why - Lithuania is more dangerous for the Russian Federation in terms of the situation related to the Kaliningrad region and in confrontation with NATO and the United States. And after the mechanism is worked out, we will work it out in other NATO territories. And not only NATO. Here, Ukraine, for example, also illegally left the USSR."
15:18 Zelensky, in an interview with ZDF, stated that there is skepticism on the part of Germany towards Ukraine: "There is a certain skepticism of the German leadership towards Ukraine, I do not think that Scholz brought it. This is especially evident in relation to future membership in the European Union or NATO. All this skepticism was before Mr. Scholz. I believe that this attitude will change."
15:16 Training of Ukrainian military personnel in handling German howitzers will soon be completed, after which these weapons will be able to be used in Ukraine, German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said: "In the near future, training on the Panzerhaubitze 2000 will be completed so that it can be used in combat in Ukraine ".
15:13 Zelensky, during a conversation with Danish journalists, urged Ukrainians who left because of the war abroad not to rush to return: "The war continues. The situation is still unsafe in several regions. I can't ask people to return ... Now it's everyone's choice. I must say that we are counting on each of you, Ukrainians, wherever you are."
14:48 Kiev is guarded by the 40th tactical aviation brigade, it was from there that the general image of the Ghost of Kiev came from, said Yuriy Ignat, speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, it was these military pilots who took upon themselves heavy blows to defend the capital in the first two weeks of the war. The enemy then prevailed in air battles 1:6 - 1:10.
14:45 Podolyak, in an interview with The New York Times, explained why Ukraine is persistent in defending Severodonetsk, instead of leaving the city and avoiding losses: “Russians are bad at fighting in cities. In cities, you can maneuver, find shelter, and minimize losses. You will be able to resist longer and inflict significant losses on the Russians."
14:41 Fragments of a Russian missile, which the air defense forces shot down over Zolochev, fell on a brick factory, four people were injured, including one child. Doctors assess the condition of the victims as mild and moderate, said the head of the Lviv OVA Maxim Kozitsky. The missile was launched from a southeasterly direction.
14:26 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that the Ukrainian side asked to organize a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of civilians from the Azot plant in Severodonetsk to the territory controlled by Kiev in Lysichansk. But given that the last bridge over the Seversky Donets towards Lysichansk was blown up on June 13 (which Moscow blames on Kyiv), a safe evacuation there is not possible, the ministry said.
In this regard, the Russian military announced their readiness to conduct a "humanitarian operation" to evacuate civilians from Azot to Svatovo "LNR", for which tomorrow a "humanitarian corridor" will be opened from 8:00 to 20:00 and allegedly "the safe evacuation of all civilians is guaranteed people" to temporary accommodation centers. And the Ukrainian military of the RF Ministry of Defense, located on Azot, is offering to "stop hostilities and release the civilians they are holding through this corridor, as well as lay down their arms."
14:21 The enemy uses strategic bombers remotely, primarily TU-160 and TU-95, which use high-tech missiles worth millions of dollars. But recently, there has already been a tendency for the enemy to save these expensive missiles, said Yury Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, today the enemy is increasingly using Soviet types of missiles, such as XA-59 and XA-22. The latter is one of the most destructive: its warhead is 900 kg, and it flies in the wrong direction.
14:14 The enemy has not flown into the territory controlled by Ukraine for more than two months, and this is a very good indicator of the work of the Air Force, Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said.
14:09 The head of the Khmelnytsky OVA, Serhiy Gamaly, also said that today, during an air raid, air defense forces shot down an enemy missile. The wreckage fell into the field, according to preliminary information, there were no casualties and no damage.

13:44 Podolyak told the NYT that a number of countries are giving weapons to Ukraine as if they want to defeat it: "If you think that we must lose, just tell us straight: we want you to lose. Then we will understand why you give us weapons at this level. The adviser to the head of the OP added that some Western European countries, including France and Germany, are "hiding from the war."
13:42 The mayor of Ternopil, Serhiy Nadal, announced possible explosions in the city and urged residents to take care of safety.
13:41 Britain did not turn to Russia about the "sentenced" to death in the "DPR", Peskov said. He added that "in the event of an appeal to Moscow, the Russian Federation is ready to listen to their position."
13:37 The Ministry of Social Policy cannot deliver pensions to 300,000 pensioners in the occupied territories, Minister of Social Policy Marina Lazebnaya said on the air of the telethon. She recalled that the pension is delivered either by banks or by Ukrposhta, and called on Ukrainians to leave the occupied territories to receive the accrued funds.
13:32 Podolyak addressed the partner countries on the eve of a new meeting in the Ramstein format: "Each participant in the Ramstein format should close their eyes and imagine a world in which Russia has won. Morning rockets to croissants, night sirens to lullabies, the disappearance of cities with a thousand-year history. This world will become a reality if the current pace of arms transfers is maintained. We are waiting for a decision."
13:30 Air defense works in the Lviv region, said the head of the OVA Maxim Kozitsky.
13:21 Podolyak responded to Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, who said that Georgia should be the first on the list of candidates for EU membership, and then Ukraine and Moldova: "No one enters the queue for death from Russian missiles. Ukraine pays a terrible price for the choice be a European democracy. The EU pays a heavy price to protect Western civilization. Because values are more important than profit. What is more important to you? Candidacy line number?"
Garibashvili said the day before that Georgia has earned the status of an EU candidate on the path of reforms carried out over the past nine years: "When they say that Ukraine is in a state of war and because of this it should be granted candidate status, I apologize if the assignment of status is determined by war We don't want war."
13:14 The terms of Ukraine's membership in the EU should be discussed only after the end of hostilities, said Minister Delegate to the French Foreign Ministry for European Affairs Clement Bon.
13:11 In the controlled part of the Donetsk region, the water supply is resumed, the head of the OVA Pavel Kirilenko said on the air of the telethon: "We are filling the tanks and taking all measures so that all remote cities, primarily Konstantinovka and Druzhkovka, have water."

13:05 The products of the Zaporozhye region have begun to be certified as made in the "DNR" or Russia, "which allows you to avoid additional taxation," said Vladimir Rogov, a member of the "main administration council": "Legally, it turned out that we are no longer Ukraine, but not yet Russia. A lot of large industries have fallen into this gray zone, that is, dozens of factories and all those enterprising people who provide hundreds and thousands of jobs. Now they have met us halfway." According to him, now the certification indicates not just "made in Melitopol, Berdyansk, Energodar", but, for example, "made in Melitopol, in Russia."
13:02 Ukraine has already returned dozens of children who were forcibly taken away by the Russian invaders, Vereshchuk said: "Today we are looking for these children, we are trying to compile lists. Each repatriation on our part is a real special operation." The minister also called on international institutions to help Ukraine and not to delay doing so, because now Russia is using children for anti-Ukrainian propaganda, and then they are going to be adopted.
12:51 For the second week in a row, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have tactical successes in advancing towards Kherson, which can develop into a full-fledged counteroffensive, adviser to the head of the Kherson OVA Serhiy Khlan said on the air of the telethon: "We are approaching Tomina Balka, and this is 20 kilometers to Kherson, where both once there are occupiers. Now the fighting is going on between Tauride and Tomina Balka."
According to him, "no matter how hard the occupiers try to return, recapture the lost positions, nothing works for them, and they roll back even more." At the same time, Khlan stressed that the Ukrainian shelling is not as massive as the Russian one: "Unlike the invaders, ours work precisely: they hit the ammunition, equipment and personnel of the enemy. Unfortunately, for the orcs it does not matter that they get into residential buildings, APU is the opposite."

12:03 Zelensky said in an interview with ZDF that time is now playing on Moscow, which "doesn't care how long this war lasts." "We need to act, time is playing on the enemy, not on us," the president said. He explained this by the fact that the Russians "mainly earn on oil products, on the export of energy resources."

11:34 Zelensky in an interview with ZDF commented on Biden's statement that Kiev did not believe the invasion warnings. In particular, he said that the Ukrainian authorities asked the West for help, but, despite the knowledge about the upcoming invasion, they did not provide such assistance: “The question arises: why was the airspace not closed, why were we not supplied with weapons before this invasion, and why were not temporary sanctions have been introduced in order to stop the President of Russia in a preventive manner?"
"Let's be honest: we were preparing for this, at the beginning no one supported us, but now I am grateful to all partners for the support we have," the president added.

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the commanders of one of the batteries of the 933rd anti-aircraft missile regiment of the Russian troops, in order not to get to the forefront, decided to make their equipment incapable of combat. They removed the control units from the Tor-M2U combat vehicles and decided to sell them at a collection point for precious metals. However, they named too high a price and came into conflict with an employee of the reception point, who immediately reported the “businessmen” to the “MGB DPR”.

The first deputy chairman of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation predicted that government spending on defense would increase by 600-700 billion rubles, which could approach a 20% increase in Russia's defense budget.

[NYPOST] Russian forces could be just weeks away from seizing control of the key Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine — as Ukrainian officials continued to appeal for more heavy weapons and ammunition from the West.
An unnamed senior US defense official told the Washington Post that the cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, which have seen some of the fiercest battles in recent weeks, could fall to Russia in the coming days.
Russia has been making steady gains in the strategically important Donbas region — comprised of Luhanks and Donetsk — by pounding the area with heavy artillery day after day and inflicting heavy casualties on the outnumbered and outgunned Ukrainian soldiers.
It is widely believed that the fate of Donbas could dictate the course of the entire war, now in its fourth month.
The area is home to the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic, which are controlled by Moscow-backed rebels who have been at war with Ukrainian forces since Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.

How does it go? Something about never interfering when your enemy is making a fatal error...
[ET] Chinese leader Xi Jinping has reaffirmed the ruling communist party’s strict "zero-COVID" pandemic control policy in a recent speech. Meanwhile, the regime has put out a new regulation trying to save China’s economy under the policy.
According to a report by China’s state media Xinhua, Xi said that officials must "do a good job in coordinating epidemic control and economic and social development efficiently, and resolutely overcome some current difficulties in economic development" during visits he made to Sichuan Province on June 8 and 9. He reiterated that the country should "unswervingly adhere to the general policy of ’dynamic clearing’ of COVID-19."
Following Xi’s speech, Zhong Nanshan, the regime’s top medical advisor, said on June 10 at the 14th China Bio-Industry Conference that the epidemic must be prevented, but more importantly, economic stability and development must be taken into account. He added that the latter two were equally important.
"The escalation of epidemic control measures is not advisable, as it will obviously affect economic development," Zhong said, according to a report on Yicai.com, a major Chinese financial news website.
He added that pandemic control measures were not as simple as only ensuring a "dynamic clearing" of COVID-19 cases. "At present, to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, we need to focus on precise prevention and control, and we need to rely on science." Maybe they should talk to "Mr. I Am Science". Maybe he's got some more Gain Of Function research funds.

This is a virus with a diverse animal reservoir.
Zero-Chinavirus Zero-Covid implies Zero in the global population not only of humans but also rats, mice, hippos, lions, deer, ferrets, cats and dogs to name a few species.
[PJMedia] It’s recession time — a mild one, so far — as the U.S. economy grew at a zero-point-zero annual rate last quarter after shrinking slightly during the first three months of the year.
While the numbers don’t seem to have been made public yet, someone at Zero Hedge got hold of them midday on Wednesday.
Economists consider the economy to be in recession when there is zero or negative growth for two consecutive quarters or more, and that’s what we’ve gotten in the first half of 2022 after a full year of Bidenomics has had its effects. Let's Go Brandon!
The economy shrank at an annual rate of 1.5% from January through March. That was revised downward from an original estimate of 1.4% shrinkage, and worse than the expected revision to 1.3%.
Consumer spending drives more than two-thirds of the U.S. economy, and consumers are feeling the pinch of double-digit price hikes for nearly everything, higher borrowing costs, and record credit-card debt to try and pay for it all.
Considering all of that, it’s almost impressive that overstrained consumers managed to juice the economy all the way up to zero.

What is scarier than this?
The 28% and 32% that still will vote Democrat in 2023 and/or to re-elect Biden in 2024.
[Insider] The Krebs had been renting for about seven years. When the coronavirus pandemic hit, they decided it was time to find a place they could call their own, especially since they were getting older and have two daughters: Carolina, 7, and Harper, 3.
They didn't have to look far to find the solution.
The couple had inherited 70 acres of land in Fayetteville, Texas, from Michael's grandparents. The property includes agricultural land — and a small, rundown shed.
"We thought the shed was the perfect thing to fix up and make into a tiny home, where we could live while saving up some money so we can have money for the forever house," Krebs, a stay-at-home mom, told Insider.
They plan to live in the tiny home until they have enough savings to renovate and move into the main house, which had been his grandparents' home.
Allow your gaze to fix upon the third paragraph:
[MVTimes] The select board approved a request for a 2,500-gallon commercial propane tank for 79 Turkeyland Cove Road in Katama — owned by former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. "We’ve never had a private propane tank come to us," said select board member Arthur Smadbeck, with select board member Michael Donaroma noting a private-residence propane tank is typically a fraction of the quantity being requested.
Could it be the Donks have found a way to convert solar power to propane?

When I switched from oil furnaces to propane, I called Agway. They never sent anyone out. So I went with Amerigas, they came out the day I called, but would not put in bigger than a 400 gal tank (on a farmlet) I accepted that and settled for two fills over the course of the heating season. As Agway was not interested in my business what else was I going to do?

Regarding the Propane itself:
Propane was discovered (1910) while investigating gasoline evaporation and storage. Propane is one of several evaporating gases from GASOLINE?
Given there are 2 ways to obtain Propane
1. from distilling Natural Gas.
2. From distilling Crude oil.
BOTH of which must be drilled for, both use pipelines, both use tanker ships, both use trains, both use trucks and barges.
It uses a lot of OIL, Gas and Diesel to get from Point A, to Point B, trucked to your backyard storage tank.
Somehow, given all the Fossil Fuels used to get it to a customer. Environmentalists love it, and it is labeled an Environment Friendly product.
Go Figure?
BTW: Propane was $14.95 BBQ Grill in 2020.
It is well over $24.00 a tank now.
[ZH] The World Health Organization said Tuesday it will rename the monkeypox virus after concern that it could stoke racism and stigma.
The current name for the virus, which has infected over 1,600 people in 39 countries this year and was first reported in Africa, does not adhere to WHO guidelines that discourage the use of geographic regions or animals, Bloomberg reports. Next up, WHO will suggest it's time to "stop being mean" to cancer.

Monkeys (not apes) appear naturally in Africa, South America, Asia, India, and Europe (Gibralter). So only North America doesn't have natural monkeys and they say its somehow a geographic region problem? I think there are more than a few racists at the WHO.

[NYPOST] Pope Francis ...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity (so to speak) within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... has taken a new series of swipes at Russia for its actions in Ukraine, saying its troops were brutal, cruel and ferocious, while praising "brave" Ukrainians for fighting for survival.
But in the text of a conversation he had last month with editors of Jesuit media and published on Tuesday, he also said the situation was not black and white and that the war was "perhaps in some way provoked."
While condemning "the ferocity, the cruelty of Russian troops, we must not forget the real problems if we want them to be solved," Francis said, including the armaments industry among the factors that provide incentives for war.
"It is also true that the Russians thought it would all be over in a week. But they miscalculated. They encountered a brave people, a people who are struggling to survive and who have a history of struggle," he said.
Francis then said in his own words: "We do not see the whole drama unfolding behind this war, which was perhaps somehow either provoked or not prevented."
Asking himself rhetorically if that made him "pro-Putin," he said "No, I am not. It would be simplistic and wrong to say such a thing."
