The Insurrection President Indicted

Where the road to a second term hits a detour ...

JUST A START 👍

The former president will now appear in court to be arraigned before the case moves to trial or ends in a settlement. But, there's uncertainty amid unchartered territory. For example, a typical person who has been indicted may be picked up by the police, or they might have to show up at the police station …

    ”Here, you have someone who's under the protection of the Secret Service. And how do you manage that? We've never thought about that before. So just the very basic logistics of having Donald Trump appear in court for an arraignment raises questions that we've never confronted before.”

NBC News reports the Secret Service is coordinating with New York officials ahead of the former president's court appearance and tightened security.

APsplainin Red Cross confirms contact with Russia about Ukrainian kids, 7 Apr post-Azovstal Olenivka POW mission
The ICRC's contacts with Russian children's rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova marked the first [?!] confirmation of high-level international intervention to reunite families with children who were forcibly deported.
since 24 Feb 2022? m'k.
ICRC spokesman Jason Straziuso said Thursday the organization is in contact with Lvova-Belova "in line with its mandate to restore contact between separated families and facilitate reunification where feasible."

That goes beyond the engagement of other agencies. The U.N. children's agency UNICEF said it has also been in contact with Russian officials about the children, but spokesman Kurtis Cooper told The Associated Press that UNICEF "has not received feedback on our offer to facilitate reunifications processes." Refugees International denied any contact with the Russians -- despite Lvova-Belova's claim it had contacted her.

The exact number of Ukrainian children taken to Russia has been difficult to determine, and numbers from the warring countries differ vastly.

A statement posted Wednesday on Twitter by Ukraine's U.N. ambassador, Sergiy Kyslytsya, said more than 19,500 children had been SEIZED from their families or orphanages and forcibly deported.

Same condition for Western athletes with display of warmongering attributes of flags from UA or USA?

Most likely the top athletes are on tour and reside in Monaco, Nice, Florida or Bermuda anyway.

Most International Sports Organizations have a historic precedents of corruption and abuse of human rights ... they are quite similar to guidance of states. Authoritarianism, fascism, Qatar, Argentina, Germany and the three big powers set a bad example.

Ukraine Wants to Rewrite History WWII (none / 0)
The very popular war hero actor, favorite by NATO allies can do no wrong. Pls rewrite history of WWII and kick the Russians out of the UN Security Council. Didn't Joe, Antony, Boris and Dmytro explain the downside of an extended war before Russia would be defeated by his ragtime army?

Get U.S. Out of the United Nations | Washington Monthly |

The search for the origin story of modern conservatism has taken many routes. Some historians have found it in the 1930s, when a truculent right, led by figures such as Herbert Hoover and Robert McCormick, the publisher of the Chicago Tribune, warned that the true dictator was not Adolf Hitler but Franklin D. Roosevelt. Others have pointed to the early 1950s and the rise of Senator Joe McCarthy and his defenders at William F. Buckley Jr.'s fledgling magazine, National Review.
