This video appears to show a Russian soldier executing his comrade after his comrade is wounded by a Ukrainian FPV Drone. While I believe that this occurred, there is no way of determining if the wounded soldier was complicit in the act. The choice of footwear is more interesting in this particular video. These appear to be Adidas sneakers this may indicate that the Russian supply system is unable or unwilling to equip their soldiers with anything more than weapons or ammunition even after two years of war.

LAST NIGHT I had a drink with my friend and neighbour Ray, who later this year turns 94. One of the great things about talking to Ray is that he is blessed with a long memory, and yesterday he was recalling the Abdication Crisis of 1936 – when he was eight – and singing the words: Hark! The herald angels sing, "Wallis Simpson’s stole our King”.

The short answer is no, the Lone Ranger was almost certainly not based on Bass Reeves. Be that as it may, there are a few similarities. For instance, it was protocol for deputies like Bass to be accompanied by at least one posseman while out in the field.

He penned this poem and embedded it inside his self-published memoir “The Thrill of the Chase.

Fom Tracy Robbins Instagram account. Happy Sunday! Wishing Queen Elizabeth II a happy, heavenly 98th birthday today. For many of us, when we think of “the Queen” our minds immediately go to QEII. How long will that last? Probably a long time. When I hear news about “the Queen”, my mind still goes to her first. Then it’s a bit of a sad pause, when I remember. I hope she’s dancing today in heaven.

William King Harvey, a corpulent and formidable undercover operations officer for the CIA from 1947 to 1967, is a plausible suspect in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Why? Because of his speciality in assassination and his hatred of the Kennedys, both of which are well-documented. ncG1vNJzZmiilqCzoq%2FTrGWsrZKowaKvymeaqKVfpXyltcNmq6GdXZi2or%2BMmqqsmaOotq%2Bt06Kmp2WTnbamsg%3D%3D

Some years ago, I went to a saloon called the Bayside Tavern in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Fish Creek is a small resort town in Door County, a peninsula that juts out into Lake Michigan and acts as a sort of mini-Cape Cod of the Midwest. The Bayside had held down a patch of Fish Creek’s main street for decades, but I’d never patronized it, even though my family had been regular visitors of Door County since I was born.

The flightless birds known for their long necks and quirky personalities have evolved to become the ultimate sprinters of the animal kingdom! "Feet, don't fail me now!” is something you'll never hear an ostrich say. They’re one of the fastest animals on land, and can even run faster than Usain Bolt! :O (An ostrich can run up to 70 km/h.
