Tesla Charging Stations Set on Fire in Massachusetts
Whatever one thinks of Elon Musk, this is wrong. I get the anger, but to stand up to people like him you do not buy Musk's products and encourage others to do the same.

Macron to France: Russia Threatens All of Europe
This is true, given Putin's invasion of Ukraine, his attempts to dominate Georgia and Moldova, his hacking, the planes strafing into NATO territory, the Baltic Sea Pipeline sabotage, and his goons casually waltzing into the UK to try and assassinate Putin's critics
This is partly why we help Ukraine because the way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them, not roll over, because they only want more.

Joshua Ch 21 tells of towns being picked for the Levite Tribe, with pastureland for their livestock, after they asked for it. So they are given a number of towns with pastureland.
We must always be aware of the needs of groups and individuals within the communities we are in and how we can help them.

JD Vance Denies Insulting British Troops, But Won't Say Which "Random Country" he Was Referring Too
You get many armchair pundits who like the idea of a leading politician lacking diplomatic skills, but JD Vance's behaviour was uncalled for and unpleasant, and if Vance was not referring to the UK or France (which given both countries have taking the lead on having a military presence in Ukraine), then whom was he referring too!
Being the coward that he is, Vance will not say, but not the first time he has needlessly caused offence in Europe and is being a part of the problem.

Trump's Fractious State of the Union Address
Donald Trump has a majority in both Houses, but there is mutual animosity between the Republicans and the Democrats. The Democrats held up placards during Trump's speech, saying things like "This is a lie" and "Musk steals" at key moments.
His comments about Ukraine, without mentioning any Russian compromise (because there is no Russian compromise), as well as his comments about Greenland, were those of a bragging bully.

Zelensky: Ukraine Ready to Come to Negotiating Table
To be honest, President Zelensky did not have much choice, given the vice like grip that the United States is applying. So we had better hope that the UK and France can persuade the Trump Administration to send a peacekeeping force, we had better hope that a US civilian presence in Ukraine, mining those minerals, will be enough to deter Vladimir Putin. If it does not deter Putin, we had better hope that the Americans will be swift to respond.

Rules are rules, but they are there to protect people, not for people to to protect rules.

Trump Smacks Down Tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and Pauses Military Aid to Ukraine
One of the things that has struck me about Canada over the years, having Canadian relatives, as well as friends over there, and having visited the country, is how easy going and grounded they are.
So to see their anger, not easily provoked, against Donald Trump lately, for all his insults about the "51st State" and his tariffs, says something. Canada are fairly bullish about the tariffs and intend to respond in kind.
