 If you’re looking for a post on the Biden/Trump debate, sorry to disappoint. I watched a few minutes and, to put it bluntly, it is a horror show for Democrats backing Biden.

While Zelensky is still pushing his dead-on-arrival peace plan, the desperation in his voice speaks volumes. The man is on the edge and headed towards full blown panic. I wonder if the British bookies are taking odds on how long he will survive in

It would be one thing if Ukraine had 100,000 new recruits being trained for combat, but reports out of Ukraine indicate that men snatched off the streets and being shoveled towards the front without more than three or four weeks of training at best. I can only surmise that Zelensky has been given a no-holds barred briefing on the combat realities and he is visibly shaken............more.......
