Congressional Republicans left Ukraine hanging.

“What is the problem?” Zelensky challenges the West over hesitations and denounces the U.S.

Zelensky is correct. I speak only re U.S. Republicans who stonewalled a proper House vote. Their conduct caused more Ukraine deaths and enabled Putin  to gain ground. Done in order to embarrass Biden.

Not the way to govern. 

There is blood on Republican hands. Trump’s also assuming he encouraged Congressional Republicans not to support Biden’s dollar proposal for the Ukraine.

Trump went Nazi. Reference the recent Nazi passage on Truth Social. The video suggested if Trump were to be reelected, his victory would bring “unified Reich.”

God help us!

The comment was later withdrawn. Trump’s staff blamed a staff writer and not Trump for the passage.

Trump is sick. Mentally sick. At a recent NRA speech, he said he was going to be a second or third term President. Sort of comparing himself to Roosevelt who was a four term Presidnet. Trump also said Biden was high as a kite during the State of the Union Address. Ergo, Trump said there should be drug testing for the debates.

Alito’s conduct, and especially his recent comments about the “upside down flag,” reflect his child-like petulance. Even one of Alito’s usual supporters Senator Lindsay Graham called it “not good judgment.”

Should Alito apologize? An apology is a better substitute than blaming his wife.

He will not apologize. He will continue in the arrogant fashion he has over the years. He does not care.

Charles A. Lindberg landed the Spirit of St. Louis near Paris this day in 1927. By so doing, he completed the first solo airplane flight across the Atlantic. His trip took 33 1/2 hours..

Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus gave its last performance in Uniondale, N.Y. The show performed this day in 2017. Its final show took place after 146 years existence.

Mackinac Island, Michigan. Cars banned on city streets. Only emergency vehicles permitted. Transportation by walking, bicycles and horse drawn carriages.

Should Key West consider such an approach to alleviate its motor vehicle congestion?

The hush money case adjourned till tuesday. It is expected final arguments will be heard then.

Trump will not be taking the stand. His “I want to testify…..I will testify” his usual bullshit.

James Carville was on Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show. He described Trump “like a mosquito in a nudist colony.” Intimating so much “Trump bad.” Carville recommended Biden zero his Trump attacks to problems involving Trump’s wrongdoings.

The U.S. News & World Report yesterday identified Naples, Florida, as the best spot in the U.S. to live in 2024-2025. It moved up from number 6 last year.

A study released yesterday indicated houses in South Florida are overpriced by 35 percent.

Cause is supply and demand. Demand exceeding supply.

I believe it. A significant reason Key West is dramatically overpriced.

The Grand Happy Hour yesterday with Steve Thompson. Cindy on the boat with Ellen.

I enjoyed tomato soup. Someday I will enjoy meat again.

Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis won her primary battle yesterday. Her relationship with a staff attorney apparently had no effect on her election. Her aggressive handling of the election interference case in Georgia accrued to her benefit.

It appears Fulton County voters admire a person who will stand up and do battle with Trump.

Michael Cohen was questioned re his present income yesterday. He testified he makes $4 million a year, $3.4 million from 2 books, plus podcast revenue and rent on real estate.

Not bad!

If more, much more, than before the Stormy Daniels situation occurred, might be worth the 3 years he spent in jail and the “aggravation” he claims he has suffered as a result.

Media Decision US lists the 20 cities in Greece favored for history, nature, cuisine, and culture. Included were Athens, Oia and Chora. I have been fortunate over the years to have spent much time in the three.

Greece is special!

Red Lobster’s mass closing apparently done without proper steps.

Donna Lowe is a former employee. She claims she was fired without warning. The lawsuit also seeks class action status.

The significance of her lawsuit is she accuses Red Lobster of violating the federal WARN Act and the New Jersey WARN Act.

The WARN Act requires companies with 100 or more employees to give workers at least 60 days notice before a planned mass layoff. Red Lobster gave zero days.

Talk now is to renovate/rebuild. Options under consideration. The Seven Mile Bridge.

It seems like only yesterday on May 22, 1982, that the Seven Mile Bridge was dedicated with 1,300 runners crossing the Bridge. Two days later on May 24, the Bridge was opened to auto traffic.

Enjoy your day!
