Yesterday, our high temperature got up to 28°F. I stayed indoors … and moved my space heater a little closer. I also worked on cartoons for March (I picked out all the subjects but did’t start work on anny.). I shouldn’t have tto do as many as I did for February, although I expect to have to bump some perfectly good ones as events occur.

PolitiZoom – Biden Has Had This Ukraine Crisis In Hand For Almost A Year
Quote – Over the last few weeks you’ve asked yourself, How the hell is Biden beating Putin to the punch every single time? Simple. Because for almost a year now, Biden has already known what Putin has been planning, and has kept his and has kept his largest, closest NATO allies in the loop. And under curtain of darkness, they have gotten the other NATO members brought up to date as to Putin’s plans.

Letters from an American – February 24, 2022
Quote – Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who took over for Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) when the House Republicans stripped her of her position as the third most powerful House Republican, tweeted that “Joe Biden is unfit to serve as Commander-in-Chief. He has consistently given into [sic] Putin’s demands and shown nothing but weakness.” This is simply an extraordinary statement for a lawmaker to issue at a time when a president is rallying the global community to stop an invasion of another democracy, but she is not alone.

Black History (in the making) – PRESIDENT BIDEN NOMINATES KETANJI BROWN JACKSON TO SERVE ON THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
Quote – Since Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement, President Biden has conducted a rigorous process to identify his replacement. President Biden sought a candidate with exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character, and unwavering dedication to the rule of law. And the President sought an individual who is committed to equal justice under the law and who understands the profound impact that the Supreme Court’s decisions have on the lives of the American people. That is why the President nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve as the next Justice on the Supreme Court. Judge Jackson is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and has an unusual breadth of experience in our legal system, giving her the perspective to be an exceptional Justice.

It’s a tired day here in the CatBox. Anne is due in 45 – 75 minutes to change my patch. Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update as WWWendy is coming and Store to Door is delivering groceries. Happy Hump Day!

Trump* Virus Update:

US Cases: 8,524,139
US Deaths: 226,273
Plus all the Trump*/GOP plague murders Republicans are hiding

Short Takes:

From Alternet: Dozens of Florida voters and others residing in heavily-Democratic counties across several states have received threatening emails warning them to vote for President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election or suffer consequences.

Ahead of early voting, Democratic voters in Alachua County, Fla., began receiving the disturbing emails. Voters in Alaska and Arizona also reported receiving the same message.

The subject line for the email reads: “Vote for Trump or else!”

Targeting voters registered as Democrats, the email message opens with a disturbing statement telling potential voters all of their personal information has been exposed as the sender claims to have infiltrated the “entire voting infrastructure.”

The sender also warned Democrats to vote for Trump or they would “come after” them. Voters are also being told to change their political party affiliation so it can serve as confirmation of agreement to the terms of the threat.

“We are in possession of all your information (email, address, telephone… everything),” the message stated. “You are currently registered as a Democrat and we know this because we have gained access into the entire voting infrastructure. You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you. Change your party affiliation to Republican to let us know you received our message and will comply. We will know which candidate you voted for. I would take this seriously if I were you.”

Here is a perfect example of international cooperation, Republican Style. White House staffers prepare the threats, the Republican Party provides the email list, and the SVR (current name of KGB) provide the servers, and all join forces to blackmail voters with fraudulent claims. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Trae Crowder Channel): Liberal Redneck – Y’all Should Vote and Why

Amen Trey! God save our right to talk shit to idiots! RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): He oversaw the bin Laden raid. See what he says about Trump

He is so conservative that I’m sure I would disagree him most of the time on policy issues. However, I could and would negotiate with him in good faith. A very few conservatives are people of honor and may be trusted to act that way. However, the Republican Party works on bad faith only! RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past): Simon & Garfunkel – Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Audio)

Ah… the memories! Protest like the 60s. RESIST!!

US Cases: 6,177,092
US Deaths: 187,248
Plus the thousands of GOP plague murder victims Republicans are hiding from us

Short Takes:

From Alternet: One of the many oddities of the now-terminated Robert Mueller probe into Russian election interference and its links to various members of the Trump campaign and family, and in fact of all known federal probes into Russia’s Trump-related actions, has been the seeming lack of any counterintelligence probe on Donald Trump’s myriad, longstanding financial connections to Russia—and what role those financial ties have played both in the Russian government’s actions on behalf of Trump and their possible leverage over the now-president.

A new story from The New York Times‘ Michael Schmidt reports that that’s because in the first months of the new Trump administration, former deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein shuttered that investigation—then ordered special counsel Robert Mueller to steer clear of it himself. It’s not that the counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s known ties to Russian crime figures, to money laundering, and his family’s stated reliance on Russian cash has been kept closely-held: It never existed. And it still doesn’t.

Assuming that we win in November, the investigation blocked by Rosy Rectum Rosenstein needs to be done, and Trump* needs to be prosecuted, convicted, and incarcerated for the crimes Republicans are hiding. RESIST!!

From Crooks and Liars: Hopped up on Trump rage and Village People music, this white man feels emboldened to walk up to a journalist and verbally abuse and threaten media in New Hampshire.

That is so Republican! RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast of protest): Imagine – John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band (w the Flux Fiddlers) (official music video HD long v)

Kudos to left wing protestors! RESIST!!
