I’m great! Had a magical day hanging out with my nephew yesterday!
My brother is recovering nicely. Doing well with his physical therapy. Doc says he’s on track to get back to work as scheduled! We’re all thrilled for that!
Great News! So glad to hear that you are both doing well.
Yes, just busy. I feel that I have missed a lot. I lurked when I could; trying to keep up with “real news” from TOD. I got away from the TV all together; all the news shows, just to detox from the negativity. It seems that they are already predicting that the Dems are doomed in 2014, and President Obama’s 2nd term is over.
I wish that I could to send a letter to Gibbs. This guy has turned out to be a real thorn in my side. I wonder who is lining his pockets. I just pray that people will get out and vote in November. The lost here in Florida was not good. I am not hearing any strong messaging from the Dems; worrying about this in advance because the repukes are loud as ever; spewing lies and hate.
The president makes the rain look good because he’s fearless. It doesn’t matter if his clothes or hair or face get wet because he doesn’t fuss with that stuff. Even one drop of rain makes my hair explode, puts my shoes at risk and generally makes me miserable. Plus the president is beautiful to begin with. Most lesser mortals need tamed hair, non-dripping make up and dry clothes to feel okay.
Sighā¦ Just came on line to say I pity the pro-russian people from Crimea who are deciding to quit Ukraine and join a country run by a totalitarian regime, at the exact time where the Ukraine government is headed towards reforms. Those people will have buyers’ remorse within a year or two. Mark my words.
As I said earlier this week, I’m awfully worried that Putin won’t stop there. He knows the West won’t go to war to defend Ukraine, so I think he’s going to invade at least all the eastern part of Ukraine.
The poor Ukrainians will be made sacrificial lambs for the maintaining of the peace in Europe. I pray that President Obama can lead the international community into finding a peaceful solution. But Putin will not relent unless he doesn’t have a choice. He’s ruthless, and delusional.
STATEMENT of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, to all people of Ukraine ā Ukrainian citizens of all nationalities
March 15, 2014
To the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine
To the people of Ukraine ā Ukrainian citizens of all nationalities
STATEMENT
of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, all people of Ukraine ā citizens of Ukraine of all nationalities
The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people ā the supreme representative body elected by the Crimean Tatar people,
– under conditions of a genuine threat to the safety and freedom of all Crimean Tatars and all Crimean residents regardless of their nationality,
– fully recognizing the magnitude of the unavoidable aftermath of a direct military intervention and plans for the annexation of the Crimea by foreign state,
– acknowledging the utmost responsibility to the present and future generations of the Crimean Tatar people,
– remembering all the losses, humiliations, deprivation and repressions that the Crimean Tatar people sustained since the annexation of the Crimea in 1783, and the loss of their centuries-old statehood,
– in an effort to prevent the recurrence of genocide of May 18, 1944, when the Crimean Tatar people were forcibly deported from their historical homeland,
– reaffirming the traditional methods of nonviolent struggle for their rights,
Bob, this is the most profoundly irresponsible statement a nuclear power can make. He is saying that Russia is to be considered a “rogue” nation that no longer regards itself as a member of the global community. Russia has sunk really low to come to this point. Thinking Russians must shudder at this kind of extremism.
“The White House says it rejects Crimea’s referendum on seceding from Ukraine, saying the Sunday vote has been influenced by “threats of violence and intimidation” by Russia.
“This referendum is contrary to Ukraine’s constitution, and the international community will not recognize the results of a poll administered under threats of violence and intimidation from a Russian military intervention that violates international law,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.
“As the United States and our allies have made clear, military intervention and violation of international law will bring increasing costs for Russia – not only due to measures imposed by the United States and our allies but also as a direct result of Russia’s own destabilizing actions,” he said.
Earlier on Sunday, Secretary of State John Kerry told Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in a telephone conversation that the United States would not accept the results of the referendum.”
“After returning from a visit to the U.S., Ukraininan Prime MInister Arseny Yatseniuk told a cabinet meeting that politicians in Crimea who called for the vote would face dire consequences. āWe will find all of them – if it takes one year, two years – and bring them to justice and try them in Ukrainian and international courts. The ground will burn under their feet,ā he said.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Ihor Tenyukh called on Russian forces to withdraw in an interview with the Interfax-Ukraine news service and said that Ukrainian forces were prepared to mobilize.
āRussia must immediately withdraw its military troops out of Crimea and the Black Sea Fleet to their places of permanent deployment as it is backed by certain basic agreements between Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian navy headquarters was and is going to stay in Sevastopol. As for the National Guard, a few days ago, more than 40,000 people have already signed up and volunteered for the military commissariat,ā Tenyukh said.”
The dumbed down in America evidently need these props to “see” what may have taken place…brain can no longer handle working without someone else’s pictures….
“The Pentagon is proposing dramatic increases in spending for underwater pods to store drone submarines and a variety of other seaborne drones and surveillance technology, another example of the military’s shift toward the Pacific, newly released budget documents show.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is stepping up its research on several programs, including doubling its planned spending on the Hydra program, an underwater “truck” that would carry unmanned submarines and aerial drones. The DARPA budget released last week shows planned spending for Hydra would rise from $14.9 million in the current fiscal year to $29.9 million next year…..”
When China released that image they said may be debris of the Malaysia plane and then said never mind, it was a mistake to release it, I told my son it was probably an underwater military site. hmmmm
No. I don’t think what FSB agent Snowden revealed has anything material to do with Putin’s behavior. He saw his ‘Eurasian’ fantasy being threatened and, ironically, everything he’s done the past several weeks has ensured his fantasy will never materialize. He’s isolated Russia and now has other member states of his ‘Federation’ very concerned, as well as lots of his citizens really upset. Will not end well for #TzarVlad. Only issue is how many people are going to die in the process. That’s the history yet to be written ….
If one has overtly critical opinions to opine, then a Mic is before the DC/NY pundit and they roll the Tape……or is it the digit. I can’t get the term right.
Mightily so!!! I really hope all of you avail yourself of the numerous videos on the UN Security Council web site of her statements during UNSC meetings and at various press briefings. She is a force.
Ambassador Powers is Fierce; she does not play. the old boy’s club has been put on notice.
I love how PBO welcomes, promotes, and respects smart, strong independent women. All of his female choices and connections have never been in a binder, but in charge where they belong. Real men are not afraid of strong opinionated women; they listen to them and give them a platform.
I also love how he talks about and embraces his daughters who he says have strong opinions that they freely voice.
I love the way Ambassador Power is unrelenting and without fear. If someone refuses to speak in diplomatic language, she will go right at them with language they will understand. Not since Kruschev banged his shoe on the podium has Russia appeared so loutish on the world’s stage.
africa – BWD has it down on this one and this is what Dems need to understand. Unless VPBiden is on future ballots, they will have to give me a reason to vote for them. Not being a republican isn’t a good enough reason.
Bobfr, thank you for all of the information that you give all of us regarding the Ukraine situation. You are a brilliant mind worth being close in your presence here on TOD. TY, TY, and TY, Bobfr.HZ
Hi, my lovely Layla. It is so wonderful to see you. I thought of you so much, but I am also so grateful that my thought-energy was in a good place to be able to be here and see you again. Thank you my beautiful Layla. I hope you are doing well.
Yes, Bobfr give my spirit that ‘calming effect’ as well. There is so much to digest for such a set of important and difficult issues. HZ
Great, jacquelineoboomer!!!! And I hope that all is well in your space. It is a glorious joy to be present in my space and to know that we all are still working to help complete the beautiful circle of goodness alongside of our brilliant and gifted POTUS. What a joy, Jacqueline ‘O.
It is a lovely Sunday afternoon. Getting ready to make a pot of one of my favorite teas and sip slowly as I catch up on some reading and sending out cards to some dear friends.HZ
Saw a reminder that, on Tuesday, President Obama will award the Medal of Honor to those 24 combat veterans of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, “recently determined to be eligible following a legally mandated review.” That will be heartwarming, and long past time!
Their factually inaccurate headlines and much of the text in their ‘reporting’ totally distort the nature of what has happened in Crimea during the past 20 hours ….
Dear @Yatsenyuk_AP@Yuriy_Sergeyev The reporting by @AP re: Crimean illegal election appears to have been authored by Putin's propagandists.
In China, Michelle Obama to stay firmly Mom in chief mode. Mrs. Obama trip will be front page news in China. Mrs. Obama will visit with students and schools and take her daughters to see the famous Terracotta Warriors. The fact that Mrs. Obama is bringing her daughters and Mother, Chinese are very big on three generations under one roof. There is no better surrogate for a President over seas then their spouse said Anita McBride who was chief of staff to Laura Bush. McBride said Obama visit with China first Lady Peng Liyuan can send a powerful diplomatic message. Mrs. Obama can just be who she is and it’s a win. She doesn’t have to carry a tough message said Dan Blumenthal. This was a few lines from a article I read about FLOTUS up coming trip to China. I am not good at posting anything due I would post that article. I am looking forward to FLOTUS visit to China.

Happy Sunday!
I AM INDEED THANKFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL FOR STORMY WEATHER! BRING ON THE RAIN!
So many people will be sent to the naughty mat it’s ridiculous. #setup
Nice to see you PFI! Brings back memories. š
And you as well!
So …can someone post all the “rain” naughty mat photos? I can think of several.
Sorry guys…its a girl thing.
I love to see the President in the rain too….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4Sqg37gWmo
That was cool too – thank you, Edie.
Well, look at that. This must be a post for the women! Yes! I mean … nice post. #setup
Yea!
Congrats on 1st Cindy.
Details in last post on previous thread …
Results of the sham election to be reported in the next few minutes by the self-appointed Crimean PM.
Thank you Mr. Bobfr…
Happy Sunday to you….have a WONDERFUL DAY!!
That’s 93 % of less than 30 % of the inhabitants of Crimea and, likely, many of those who voted are Russian ‘tourists.’
How ‘hot’ it gets, now, will depend on what #TzarVlad does next.
#TrustBarack … for whom no kitchen is too hot ….
I see tweets saying that there was no “no” option on the ballot. If true what kind of “vote” was this then?
Meanwhile, LOL – @ #TzarVlad.
A farcical ‘vote,’ hf2.
No Breaking News here.
The News is the 7% who didn’t go with the Mind Control to Vlad Putin
yah, I just was looking at my twitter feed and saw some tweets go by that 93% “voted” (ahem) to join Russia. What a crock Bob.
Congrats on first 1rst Cindy!
Hi Lovely Plains,
Thank you!
Have an AWESOME DAY!!!
Thank you Nerdy Wonka for the beautiful posts…..
Have a WONDERFUL DAY!!!
As That some Sang:
Blame It on the Rain, yeah, yeah…..

Yeh baby! š
Hey sweet Lady? How are you doing š ā
Hey Nena! I’m terrific! How about you?
Doing A-OK on a Sunday Afternoon Dudette. Thanks for asking.
SONG…..I meant. The Fingers, the Fingers……oops š
Have no clue what is accurate or speculation, but here are some parameters……….
Wet POTUS!!!!!
Now that definitely makes for a Happy Sunday! š
Bring on the naughty mats!
Hi Dudette,
Happy Beautiful Sunday to you!!
Down girl…down : )
How are you feeling, and how’s your brother doing since his surgery?
Hi Cindy! š
I’m great! Had a magical day hanging out with my nephew yesterday!
My brother is recovering nicely. Doing well with his physical therapy. Doc says he’s on track to get back to work as scheduled! We’re all thrilled for that!
Everything good with you?
Great News! So glad to hear that you are both doing well.
Yes, just busy. I feel that I have missed a lot. I lurked when I could; trying to keep up with “real news” from TOD. I got away from the TV all together; all the news shows, just to detox from the negativity. It seems that they are already predicting that the Dems are doomed in 2014, and President Obama’s 2nd term is over.
I wish that I could to send a letter to Gibbs. This guy has turned out to be a real thorn in my side. I wonder who is lining his pockets. I just pray that people will get out and vote in November. The lost here in Florida was not good. I am not hearing any strong messaging from the Dems; worrying about this in advance because the repukes are loud as ever; spewing lies and hate.
Excellent news, Dudette!!!
š
I’m so glad to hear that, Dudette! Sending healing and positive energy to you and yours…..
Thanks 57andf! š
The president makes the rain look good because he’s fearless. It doesn’t matter if his clothes or hair or face get wet because he doesn’t fuss with that stuff.

6’2″ slender long long legs perfectly shaped skull and equisite bones in face—what do a few raindrops matter?
For the rest of us Rain? OMG!
Westboro Baptist Founder, Hater, Fred Phelps, is on the verge of being called home……….it is a matter of Time now.
Hi Nena20409,
Happy Sunday to you!
Did he repent for all of his ugliness?
I really have No Idea, Cindy. Wicked haters as Phelps usually are empty and they Never Repent.
Being called home……by the Devil is what I am saying.
Amen…..Amen!
Apparently he ex-communicated some of his children last year and the others are stopping them from visiting their father at this time.
Sad…

Like the situation wasn’t volatile enough. What is wrong with people?
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope. This is not an “Onion” spoof; the dude really said it.
Wow. These people are nine kinds of crazy.
Bobfr, thank you for reporting on this from day one.
This is a very brazen statement from guy.

He is saying that Russia is to be considered a “rogue” nation that no longer regards itself as a member of the global community. Russia has sunk really low to come to this point.

CNN Uses Toy Plane To Analyze Missing Malaysia Flight

That is hilarious! They have completely run off rails…. or rather, the runway. š
I wonder if they will use toy soldiers and tanks trying to explain Crimea…..
( paraphrasing one of the comments over there )
SMH at the utter downfall of the “Most Trusted Name in News”
that’s hysterical Dudette! š
Someone mentioned CNN an the Toy Plane.
In Technicolor……The lemon went there.
Did they fire all their graphic artists? Sheesh!
I didn’t watch the CNN coverage yesterday at all. I got that off HP’s Copy and Paste rendition š

Hi Bobfr, thank you for the updates on Ukraine.
Do you think the info that Snowden gave to Putin is one of the reasons why he thinks he can be so belligerent?
You’re welcome, Allison.
No. I don’t think what FSB agent Snowden revealed has anything material to do with Putin’s behavior. He saw his ‘Eurasian’ fantasy being threatened and, ironically, everything he’s done the past several weeks has ensured his fantasy will never materialize. He’s isolated Russia and now has other member states of his ‘Federation’ very concerned, as well as lots of his citizens really upset. Will not end well for #TzarVlad.

Afternoon all.
Serious question:
I think he has a split personality. The first one is a dumb fuck and the second a dangerous dumb fuck!
When I saw he was on a panel discussing the Crimea “referendum” on MSNBC, I nearly spit out my coffee.
No Matter. No Matter.
If one has overtly critical opinions to opine, then a Mic is before the DC/NY pundit and they roll the Tape……or is it the digit. I can’t get the term right.
That’s some ‘body language’ going on there ….
#TrustBarack …. and don’t mess with his Team …
Absolutely fascinating photo. Not just for the body language but the male/female issues
Seriously. She’s living up to her name.
Mightily so!!! I really hope all of you avail yourself of the numerous videos on the UN Security Council web site of her statements during UNSC meetings and at various press briefings. She is a force.
